Warhammer 40k, do any of you play?
I was wondering how many people here play WH40k and if so what army you use and how long? Also any strategy you use or anything in general you're proud of you did in the game. Along with any tips of pointers.
I've been playing for 3-5 months now and I use an Ork army.
I don't have a strategy yet other then using my main army to confront them in the middle and with them usually leaving special units behind a bit I attack from behind using Snirkrot and have them fight a two sided battle.
Using that tatic once during a 2v2 battle where I was VS a Space Marine and Tau army and teamed up with a Space Marine army I obliterated the Space Marine army I was VS with just Snirk Rot. My Boyz didn't even get to fighting them yet.
I was also wondering if there were any tips veterans could give a new player? As I've done a total of about 8 matches all just to the death with no objectives.

It depends. I orignally started to buy the models as just to have random stuff to paint because I was bored, Then one of my other friends had some Space Marines from fourth edition apparently so I bought the Assault on black reach and gave the Space Marines to my fiance then just one by one all my friends fell to playing WH40k.
However if you don't have friends easily willing to commit I wouldn't say it's worth it unless you're area's got some freeplay tourneys and such. Also, ebay is amazing for WH40k. I found some $100 pieces going for $20.
Also, DoW1 or 2? And if one which expansions? As I can't run 2, so I play the hell out of 1 when I'm in an RTS mood.
Tryanids are a great army to have, especially in the current edition. Mostly because their weapon skills (I believe, I was just talking about this with my friends late last night) stack for some reason. It makes them crazy strong.
Both, but I don't own them yet. My friend has them, and I've been meaning to pick them up. Almost grabbed them when they were on sale on Steam, but ended up not getting them.
It fell apart quickly, though. We both want to get back into it, the prices have shot up since 2001, though.
We both play plenty of Dawn of War still. I'm trying to get him off of the RPGs for a few minutes so we can play it on LAN. And he's trying to steal my computer (it's the only one that runs DoWII in the house).
There was a major rules overhaul at some point when I played, and I liked it because it made the game play more quickly, so you could actually get in a couple of games instead of spending 5 hours on one because of the complicated Psyker rules, everyone drawing cards and blah blah blah. No doubt some of the community was screaming about how the end was nigh.
Cards? And Psykers seemed very easy to understand to me.
Both, they are quite different, the original has base building unlike it's sequel which is entirely squad management. The second is quite like Diablo in a lot of ways (loot, leveling, etc). I think that the 2nd expansion to DoW was supposed to be the best, though I haven't played the 3rd. All of DoW is great though.
And third DoW?
third expansion, Soulstorm.
Ah. I kind of like Soul Storm but everytime I play against Necrons with comps on standard seem to revive 80% of their armies all the time, but not count towards their current army spawn so I've like 4 waves of Necrons in my base at once keep respawning.
