Warhammer, LOTR strategy battle game and WH 40k thread!

It is indeed 😄 I get all the stuff like my badge and hotel room paid for....that's going to be an interesting weekend. Especially as I've volunteered to pull an all-nighter one night and will be in charge of the department that night 😂

Never played the Tabletop games for Warhammer, but the RTS game Dawn of War, which is based on the 40k version is absolutely superb, great action and great fun.

WD, you still need to get that, NOW!

Yessir!

Hey BF how long are the campaigns in Dawn of War? Are they really short or average?

Would you be geting any Freebes? 😄

Other than the stuff I'll be getting free, dunno 😛 But as I won't be shelling out $40 for my badge and...ummm....$400 for a hotel room (as I'll be there Thursday to Sunday even though the con doesn't start until Friday), I'll actually have money to spend in the dealer's room, assuming I get time to go there 😱

In Dawn of War they're pretty short, only one campaign and it's pretty shitty. The campaign isn't the reason to get it, it's for the skirmish/multiplayer.

However, the expansion, Winter Assault, has a greatly improved campaign mode that allows you to play all the races except the Space Marines (because their campaign is in the original game). Also adds a new race and a bunch of new maps. If you get Dawn of war you should get the expansion too.

Dealers pack some sweet rare items. You're lucky you might get your hands on some rare collectibles before they open the show. And there is time to buy stuff. When I go to conventions I always get goosebumps when I'm on line waiting for the room to open. I just get giddy thinking of things I might find. 😄

I've been to loads of conventions so far, and I love the dealer's room, you can get so much cool stuff for so cheap there 😄 this year I plan on picking up some artbooks, they sell them as cheap as $20...I have one I bought online when I was 15 that cost about $50.

I can't wait 😄

Artbooks are always a good purchase. Regular books you can them in any store. Have fun! 😎

For a minute there, I thought I had stepped into the Mods Lounge.

My 5th period teacher was making fun of "Anime 'freaks'". It was funny.

Also, my friend collects Tau, Imperial Guard and Space Marines, mainly focusing on the Tau. Has a large array ammassed.
