yo to you and welcome astral hawk i am hariyyahoo, otherwise known a background noise. in here, sanity is optional and stitch feeding is generally considered a bad thing (however if you're fast enough on your feet and like to live dangerously it can be a good way to relieve boredom).

[Killermoose]

Hi! I'm Killermoose. So Warhammer Radio brought you here, eh? Well, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself! No doubt some of the other members will turn up to scare you with their lack of sanity, so I'll just say welcome, and have fun!

[Cagarner]

YEY, the warhammer radio thingy worked!

Hi Astral_Hawk, and welcome to 40K Terra.

I'm the Adeptus Mechanicus. If you have any technical problems then just ask. This can be done by either sending me a personal message (PM), or by making a post on the Site Support & Feedback section of the site. Also check out The Adeptus Workshop if you want a signature or avatar created.
You can always post individual models, or entire armies and we will check them out.
This forum has many people with an insane amount of knowledge about all gaming systems, even Aeronautica Imperialis.

Check out the Battlefield 40K System we have created. this allows people to battle with each other, even if they live on different continents!

We will soon having a campaign running on the site. This comes complete with background information and images of the entire system and individual planets. We have called it; THE ACHERON CAMPAIGN, and it can be found at; www.40kterra.com/campaign

THE INQUISITOR is our very own Internet magazine. If you are a good writer, then why not write an article about something you enjoy.
We also have some contests running. There is the Conversion Competition, Painting Competition, Fluff & Fiction Competitioｎ, 40k Quiz Contest. Be sure to have a go at them!
You can also use the Gallery to post images of your models, armies and other stuff for everybody to see.

Then finally we also have THE LIBRARIUM project. The aim of this is to collect all the information about everything for all GW gaming systems.

Oh yea, we also have a forum

Just a few rules:

1. No listing of individual points cost of items or model profiles.
2. No Double posting or double threads.
3. Do not use txt speech, LEET, or any abbreviated language, just English.
4. Respect people’s opinions and be courteous to others.

I think you will find this site useful, and also have fun in the process.

40K Terra is growing quickly, and I hope that you will be a part of it.

See you around the forum....

hi welcome to the belly of the beast...vote baronspikey for custodian- sorry people it had to be done

[Stubber]

Ah now c'mon. The guy hardly even unpacked and your bullying him into recomending you for the Custodian job.
He probably doesn't even know what it is.

This isn't a democracy...Only Ikarus can decide.

[Baron Spikey]

power of the mob my friend, power of the mob. even the mightiest listen if enough people shout out

Welcome! Hope you enjoy the stay, the madness, as well as the luxury spa and pool!

Just kidding - no such facilities. But be sure to check out the battlefield! Nice match between some SM and CSM going on.

[Astral_Hawk]

Hi all.

I've been away at a convention and haven't been able to respond. Lets see if I can cover them all.

I will definitely have to check out the campaign. I love battles set in a larger picture, they are much more important felling. In fact I am trying to make my own map-based campaign right now. I will also try to get some of my conversions up in a month or so.

Yes Warhammer radio led me hear. I love their sense of humor, especially the interactions between the Commissar and Furface Dingledang. So when they mentioned this site I just had to check it out.

The Librarium sounds awesome. I am a huge fluff fanatic so having a single repository for it will be great. If you need old fluff, especially about the Emperor, try wikipedia.

Also, I have a few questions too. Does this site have a dead thread rule? A lot of sites are very strict about this, so I was wondering. And what is this Custodian thing? I am unfamiliar with this sites hierarchy.

Finally, don't worry Hairyyahoo/Killermoose I learned a long time ago that sanity is over-rated. And what is this Stitch creature you speak of?

[Cagarner]

Well we dont actually have anything about returning to a dead thread, as long as you have some new, original information to add to the conversation. If you just say stuff like; "Yea, I agree" and thats it, you might as well not bother.

The Custodians and Librarians, (and soon also Lexomachanics) are titles for jobs that people have volenteered for;

A Custodian checks army lists and organises voting threads for BattleField 40k battles. They may also decide what mission should be used in that battle.

A Librarian is somebody who creates articles that can be added into the Librarium. Other members can only suggest ideas for articles.

The lexomechanic is somebody who reads through articles for the INQUISITOR, and possibly Lirarium articles for gramma, spelling etc.

The campaign is suspended at the moment until the contests have been completed, but will be started soon.

welcome hawk!
question for ya. is there alot of people in your warhammer club? is it worth making in my own high school?


experiment 626 AKA: stitch. our resident WOAHman, meyhem causer, canadian, and general causer of doom. on good days.

but seriously she's cool. youre allowed to feed her, but it has to be in canadian bacon, geese, and maple products.

[Astral_Hawk]

Cool, thanks for the explanation Cagarner. I like the idea of fluffy names for positions, but shouldn't the administer be the golden throne?

To answer Dan296, yes it is always worth it, in my opinion, to start a high school club.

We started small with about ten people. It wasn't just a Warhammer club though, every game was allowed. This is a very important necessity to keep a school club going. In the beginning there were only about three people doing table-top gaming. Though we eventually corrupted/ converted four other people to table-top when I was there, that still wasn't enough people to have its own club. (There was a minimum of ten people for a club.) By allowing other games we were able to attract very different groups to the club. One year we had over thirty people join. Games like Apples to Apples can really draw in big crowds, as well as the ever devoted magic players.

Also by allowing other games we not only formed a community for all gamers, we also got to play lots of other fun games. I will never forget crushing my dean at Axis and Allies. With the Germans to boot! Now how many people can say that?

If you are thinking about forming a club I would suggest going for it. See who is interested, you just might be surprised.

bearver tails! you forgot about the beaver tails dan!!! (that'll cost you a few fingers at the very least!)
stitch loves beaver tails and has the dubious honour of once being foolish enough to eat 2/3rds of one single-handedly! (now that was true agony )

anyways, greetings young one. i am the (in)famous stitch and most of what dan said is true! (however he forgot to add i'm also cute and fluffy! )

cheers!
