Warhammer 40k

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No contemporary politics, no political debates. This is a space to enjoy the hobby and get away from the doomscrolling.

I really hated Rogue Trader at first. Skills in Pathfinder just seemed to have more visual impact, whereas RT was just stat and percentage changes. And it was hard not to exploit some of those skills. "Pogo-stick of Death" was 24 hits in one round.

But I absolutely love the WH40k novels, and it definitely played like one of the books. Owlcat doesn't always land perfect game play, but they do know the material they work with and tell some good stories.
