| Re: Macharian_Crusade's Introduction Well, for one thing I don't have enough money for the models, two I live in a smaller area, so there aren't many other people that would play it with me, and three I'm just not really into models that much, can't really explain why. I love most of the novels, particularly Dan Abnett's stuff, and I like the DoW games, although they aren't really that deep compared to some RTS games out there. Above all I think I love reading the lore, like the stuff you find on lexicanum, fluff type stuff.

RTS game IHMO aren't to deep... tactics are pretty basic... However, as for modelling/painting... you never would have guessed that I of all people would get into it... yet here I am. But yes, the lore, above all, is my favorite part of the game.

Blog Entries: 6 | Re: Macharian_Crusade's Introduction the books, in themselves are brilliant good. Dan abneet is a good writer too. im currently reading the isenhorn triliogy, and i have to say it a fresh take on inquistors for me. as for the books in general, other than a few i dont think i can point out at something and yell 'its crap!' anyway, welcome to terra, and welcome to the madness!

| Re: Macharian_Crusade's Introduction Fluff addict eh? You'll find a nice little corner for yourself here. We have a growing Librarium of background and a very active fan fiction section. You'll find tonnes of Abnett fans here too. Leave your sanity behind and don't feed any little blue ravenous aliens. Have fun...

| Re: Macharian_Crusade's Introduction Thanks all. Got a couple questions though. One, how does one become part of the things you see below poster's names, like Adeptus Custodes, etc.? Is it merit based, or something else? Second, how does the chat thing work? Because I tried to go into the chat app and it wouldn't accept my username and/or password for this site.

| Re: Macharian_Crusade's Introduction Those badges like Adeptus Arbities are staff positions or for members who donate money to run the site. Here's a quick key. Emperor- Administrator Primarch- Co-admin Adeptus Mechanicus- tech team Adeptus Arbities- Moderators High Lord- more powerful form of mod Adeptus Custodes- they run games in the battlefield 40k Librarian- they collect and compile background for the Librarium That's all I can think of right now. Try registering on the chat again with a slightly different username. My name has "753" added to it

| Re: Macharian_Crusade's Introduction theyre generally merit based. i understand what you mean with why you dont like to play. i guess im lucky that i live like, 20 minutes away from glen burnie, the U.S. GW Headquarters!! not to mention baltimore is the best US games day. have you read the Horus Herasy novels? its a must! Dan Abnett or Graham McNeill are my favorite 40k authors. |

| Re: Macharian_Crusade's Introduction Thanks again for all the warm welcome. I have not yet read the Horus Heresy novels, but I have read everything else you asked about. The reason why I haven't read the Horus Heresy novels is actually a conscious choice of mine, because, well, I just don't generally like prequels. The reason for that is that I know how they inevitably end, in this case with the fall of Horus and the traitor legions into the depths of heresy. So, I suppose one could say that I dislike that the books depict an Imperium falling into strife and civil war, rather than an Imperium in the ascendant.
