Chaos marines all the way. I am a HUGE fan of great crusade era books. That is Where the heros Are. The "modern" marines can't compare to The legions

Yeah, I loved reading about the Primarchs and their exploits leading to their falls from grace for half of them, and I'm sad they haven't made official games or movies based off them (they'd be way better than the conventional Ultramarine focus they seem to be having).

My favourites are the Inquisition stories though, they aren't as full of depressing themes or seem like a futile fight against an inevitable evil(though the older Omnibus The Inquisition War has those themes to an extent). Eisenhorn and Ravenor are just thrilling mystery action-adventure dramas with their ups and downs, twists and turns, and an unforgettable cast of characters who are mostly human, not walking Gods(though I will say Dan Abnett sucks at writing satisfying conclusions to trilogies IMO, not because he doesn't resolve the focus of the stories, but because doesn't make the ending definitive. Maybe its just a writing style to leave the way open for future authors or works of his own to finish, but it just feels unsatisfying. But then, Ravenor says it himself: "Closure is overrated").

Dunno. I downloaded the Tau codex as a PDF, the standard rulebook as a PDF, one of the campaign books (Dark Heresy) in PDF and the Chaos codex. I'm assuming you can get what you're looking for aswell.

Forge world makes great crusade era figures. And dark heresy, that a fun thing to do

[Alpharius]

:0 double post.

Edit: Seems to double post a lot of things recently. Buggy site? :o

[caliban22]

Edited my last post peep game on That for comment.

[Alpharius]

I can't remember where, but I remember seeing this old model for a crisis suit and it looked so ugly and terrible it was unbelievable and that was supposedly forge world. I'll see if I can find a pic

Edit: Here's a screenshot of the model, https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/p960x960/1501578_847807028564492_3596176684703671191_o.jpg

Edit#2: God I hate that miniature.

There are PDFs of all codices, some codices are PDF only actually.

This is Vassal the base software:
http://www.vassalengine.org/

And here is where you get the Warhammer 40k module for vassal:

I also advise getting Battle Scribe it is great for making lists.

This is all completely unofficial and not connected to Game Workshop.

Also, if you guys like Dark Heresy and stuff, this forum has a tabletop section where you can run Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War.

I use http://orokos.com/ to manage rolls.

[Alpharius]

Thanks Omega! :)

[caliban22]

would we need anything for a dark heresy? cause i do not own any of the books as of yet. Also Alpharius you an alpha legionnaire?

[Alpharius]

Take a guess xD :3. And for Dark heresy, depends if you intend on doing it irl or on the computer. You can just download the rulebook and go on roll 20 to make the campaign.

I immediately knew you were Alpha Legion from your Avatar :)

[caliban22]

I am no to be honest. I am night lords. But Alpha legion book was my favorite.And I was wonderinf if some one was gonna run an dark heresy on here or something how that would work, cause i would love to get in on that.

[Alpharius]

Awww D: God damn Curze heretic... xD.

About Dark Heresy on this site, someone did that a while back. It was incredibly slow and boring since it took 1 week for everyone to post 1 post... But if you get a group and do it on Roll 20 that's much more fun :)

[caliban22]

dont know what that is, but I will take your word for it. oh i have to ask, what are your thoughts on eternal crusade?

[Alpharius]

Think it might be fun but needs more Tau. xD

[caliban22]

Bah to tau. they got my nightlords so i cool with it. plus I got a founders pack and relic weapons for chaos so..I stuck with it.

[Alpharius]

A'ight, well. I won't try to steal you away from the crap lords xD. Gtg for school now so bye for now!

[caliban22]

Blasphemy!!! good luck dude,
