(Games Workshop=GW) Well I wondered is here any old warhammer/warhammer 40k/LoTR figures collectors , fans or gamers (also Computer/console games) This board game was made long ago before computer gaming and stuff like that and still it keeps running I got to raise hat for Games Workshop for that! they made one great miniature roleplaying game that has groundbreaking miniatures and awesome backgrounds of art and stories. I wondered starting to get into to them once again because I saw fabulous looking models of new High Elves Im a big fan of warhammer story it is just so great . I also Like the 2 dawn of war pc games that are totally sweet. I admire Alot of Brittish for this and this is main source where I first learned english ,met new friends and had a blast time ( I mean even the GW staff are great they are so funny and helpfull , I love always visiting a GW store anywhere) they also have in my opinions one of best figures paint team and a totally awesome art group that make fabulous art come to life.. Im pretty sure if any1 ever visit GB you cannot miss their stores here is their site if you havent heard about them uk.games-workshop.com/frontpage.aspx

Chaos Night Lords FTW! They are the ultimate Chaos army, by their story line they have made leaders of planets die out of fear alone. It is not unusual for them to just "appear" out of the shadows during a public assembly and ask for the leader to surrender, which they do without hesitation (when surrounded by a small group of 9 foot tall men in power armor without any warning, not knowing how many more there are, and the reputation that precedes the markings on their shoulder pads they don't have much of a choice). Of course, to make sure there is no question, before disappearing into another shadow, they kill and publicly desecrate the body of the leader who just surrendered. Stories have rumored that if they happen across a village that has no worth, they will slaughter the town in such a way that anybody that happens across the town in the future will die in fright at the horrible scene left behind. Besides, the idea that 9 foot tall men can just step into the shadows and disappear seemingly at will is just friggin' cool. And the fact that Conrad Curze (the Primarch of the chapter) was/is from a sunless planet, and before the Heresy he was the reason that planet was devoid of crime. And no one can verify his death, there was an assassin sent to kill him and on the way out of the palace the assassin was killed and there is no trace of Conrad's body.

Was it this game where they introduced The Plague into the game? It was only suppsoed to infect the non real playing characters but went wrong and infected paid members. Medical institutes then bought all the data as every study they had about illnesses and viruses had always been missing the element of human reaction, so had been a bit pants. But because this game did have human reaction (from the online players), it gave them the vital missing components .... or was it something else entirely?

This is a table top turn based strategy war game, played with miniature models representing different units. Dice (only d6)are used to determine randomized results like 'to hit', 'to wound', and 'to save'.
However, there is a computer version of 40k called Dawn of War, and I think they are coming out with a fantasy version sometime soon (not sure, so don't hold me to it).
