Hears The Tetris Theme During Nightmares

Agreed and agreed. A 40k MMO would sorta crazy to make. It would get pretty popular if it was though, but I doubt many gamers would like wasting a lot of space on such a massive game.

    Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

    The only way I could see it working was if it was done in Galaxies, with a pricing structure that lowers the cost for an additional galaxy, provided you get a digital copy (It'd be too hard to do a hard copy for less based on owning another galaxy, without buying them in groups, which is possible (Say, the cluster of galaxies around the Eye of Terror) but would still take an awful lot of planning and other fun stuff). At least that way you can pick and chose the galaxies you want, reducing the space consumed on the HDD. It'd have to be done based on the growth of the community, though. There's no point having several dozen galaxies with only a few players per galaxy, as I'm sure you're aware.

      So you mean once you buy a CD with one galaxy, you buy another with one more galaxy? Like an extension?

        Essentially, yes. But it'd have to be offered cheaper digitally if you've already bought one or two (I don't know, say £5) or completely free like Eve expansions.

                I can understand why - They can be unstoppable if played with enough thought.

                I've just always had a thing for Khorne Beserkers, it's either that or a Space Wolf.

                    Sadly I never got very far with Tau, my usual tactics of overwhelming numbers didn't last long on the table top, and well, DoW has unit caps online, so it doesn't work so well there, either :(

                      I like Warhammer, but I'm not too obsessed. Unlike a guy I know.

                        Sweet Jesus, those things are insanely huge!

                        I used to be obsessed like that, but I just ran out of time for painting and constructing, because I could never just build a standard squad. Had to personalise them in some way >.>

                          I still play Warhammer, but school and life in general takes up too much time.

                          And what's weird is, he got the Manta for his birthday.

                          Cost 'bout 80 pounds or something, if I remember right.

                            I've not kept up on the prices of the stuff, last time I played was with the rulebook previous to the current one.

                            I always wanted, and still do, a Thunderhawk Gunship. Those things were badass.

                            Preferably in the Grey Knights decoration.

                                    Pfft, out with the airbrush and the fine needle, with copious use of low-glue masking tape, obviously reverting to a brush for finer detailing and weathering effects.
