How many people out here who play warhammer? Judging by how many avatars, quite a few....

I've got a decent sized 40k Nurgle Chaos army, although I haven't played with it in years, so I'd probably (at least) have to go through whatever the newest revision of the rulebook is and see what I need to change to make it legal.

It always seemed like an expensive hobby to me.  I'll wait till I get a 3d printer and can make my own miniatures.   ;D

Errr... You may want to stay with the last book. I think a very certain person wrote that book.

I'm interested in the lore but not the game it self, waaaay too expensive.... 
I live in the south so I wouldn't  have many people to play it with anyway.

My experience with W40K is limited pretty much only to videogames, but what I've seen of it has left me rather unimpressed. I find the grimdark entirely too overblown, too campy and cheesy. My problem with it can be nicely summed up with this. Skulls and gothic arches on the casing of an artillery shell? I'm sorry, I just can't take that seriously.

I live in a town called BOONE in North Carolina. It's not ideal but I do get a few games in.

I play Dawn of War on occasion. In fact, it was my introduction to the universe.

40k was never meant to be taken seriously.  Somehow people do, but they're doing it wrong.  It's supposed to be ridiculously over the top

For the tabletop game this generally only happens if you're a Space Marine.

For further proof, take a look at the Death Korps of Kreig.

For they once set up an artillery battery in the mountains overlooking a hive city. They bombed it mercilessly day and night for ten years, five years after the hive transmitted an unconditional surrender message, and two years after all signs of life ceased.

Er...I like them, too. And Guardsmen. And 'nids. Not such a fan of the Orks, but they have their moments.
