Chillpill Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I love this forum and I love AoS. I never dabbled in 40k at all other than reading the Eisenhorn novels, but is there a forum/community like TGA but for 40k out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all the hobby, gaming, events, building-up of people and community driven fandoms without all the drama and negativity. - Cedric Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Yep. One look at DakkaDakka made me realize how fortunate we are. If nothing else, the sheer amount of pseudo-l33tspeak over there (way too cool abbreviations and the like) is maddening. You need to have a special lexicon just to understand half the posts.

Killax Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Bolter and Chainsword still is a semi relaxed place, though the forums of 40K are also much older and older communities usually get some sort of elitism vibe aswell... I just blew off dust from my old account on B&C also. It's a more relaxed forum in my opinion. Just keep in mind that because of the depth, customisation and general history of 40K the typical intend is just so slightly more competitive. Back in the day the forum name was quite faction driven but that has all come to past. As in DakkaDakka started out as a Ork related forum, Warseer for Eldra and B&C for Marines. If you want to start out with Imperial Guard however it might well be that they too still have a forum lingering out there with tons of IG discussions.

Carnelian Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Maybe someone would start a new forum for 40k...looks around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillpill Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Well this forum is perfect in every way in my opinion, nice people, nice content and it looks the dogs' as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came out of the collapse of the Portent forums. Warseer replaced Portent which by then was already a huge multi-game forum and arrived as the full suite of sub-forums and various game systems discussion.

Mars_Ranger Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Dakka Dakka is a nightmare. It's kind of a shame there isn't a decent 40K community site. But TGA is so great, and always full of positivity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel its because of Age of Sigmar's openness and casual style that this site has become what it is, and why it's so successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Though openess usually goes with age of the community. Its kind of sad but a bit of a logical thing too. You get community influences and some voices are clearer as others. Though for starters I would love a 40K/alternate games subforum on TGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I really like this forum, it's friendly, generally positive, interesting, very knowledgeable and has a lot of homebrew projects on it. I don't exclusively play AOS and it would be nice to discuss/read/share other games with this community. I have't played 40k in a while and since the release of 8th edition I have started reading 40k forums again, I can say I have not missed them one bit.

I have't played 40k in a while and since the release of 8th edition I have started reading 40k forums again, I can say I have not missed them one bit. Id even settle for a allround 'other games'. Because I completely agree with you. The best thing of AoS is that it has created a reset for the community. Not so much to flush out all the competitive players or something but because I feel that we as a community are aware of what can change and do not really oppose to any changes or suggestions. One of the WFB/40K issues I had is that general discussions about the game are left aside as there is a large part of the community that either does not care or think it's "perfect" because it excists for 20+ years. To me the creative process AoS players go through is MUCH MORE healty for the game. With this I mean that things like the AoS Warscroll builder, AoS Skirmish and AoS Shadespire by 40K comparison arn't seen as "side games" but very much also a cool part of this hobby. Being new isn't so bad at all because it means the creative process is very much unrestricted and not blindsided by what people expect. I really hope to see AoS' community explore all different manners of play. While our forums sometimes even speak about the coolness of a possible AoS and 40K blend I'm quite certain that the 40K communities would respond very differently to that... In any case, go forth TGA community! Spread the creativity and cool discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcina Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 @Ben you started the TGA community, you just started a 40K podcast and a 40K army, so, when do you start a 40K "TGA"? ? just would love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Daark Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Might be worth looking at http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/ for heresy era gaming- lovely bunch of people and a nice relaxed fun first sort of vibe. any forum which advocates "if in doubt, choose the fluff option" is cool with me.

Dropped forums except for the Black Library section of Bolter & Chainsword, and even took a minor break from this forum for a bit. TGA is still hands down the best forum on all fronts I've ever been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadGlad Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I wish TGA had a Blood Bowl forum. Just because I like this site so much and I don't like any of the other forums that is out there, be it a BB or a AoS forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
