Superior Links When I was just starting out in 40k, I searched around online to find out more about it. There are quite a few websites devoted to 40k, but most of them don’t have useful information. Either they only have some pictures and a bunch of attitude along the lines of, “My (insert army name here) can take on any other army in the world and win without breaking a sweat,” or they were last updated 3 years ago and just had a half-finished army list. For a while I was happy finding sites like those and looking at pictures of everybody’s models (the same models, painted in the same way, with no conversions or anything) and the eye-catching graphics that took forever to load. That didn’t last very long, however. I have found a few sites over time that really have a lot of actual good content, not just graphics and attitude, and I’d like to share them with you. In return, if you have found sites that have useful information, please pass them along. The links below are not links to just any sites, these are the sites that I have found to be really useful, time and again in the battle to become better at and more knowledgeable about 40k. This is an ongoing article, and I will add to it as other highly useful pages come up. I do intend to keep this links list very exclusive, however, so don’t be disappointed if your site doesn’t go up here right away. Once you’ve got a lot of good content, it will show up here. Read on to find the real secrets of the universe! The Fighting Tigers of Veda. This site is one that I found early on and the discussions about tactics and why he chose certain things for his army have really helped me, both in the very beginning and to this day. This site includes a truly different take on “vanilla” marines as well as useful tactics and tons of information about every aspect of the 40k hobby. Incidentally, this site is what inspired me to create my very own website, as well. Warp Shadow. This is a Tyranid forum and website that was created from the Tyranids Yahoo group. There are quite a few amazing individuals here and loads of talent. It features a great gallery and loads of cool fluff, plus lots of intelligent discussion about the bugs we know and love. This is the forum I frequent the most, you can find me as Elttaes. Adeptus Astartes: Emerald Tigers. This excellent site is dedicated to a successor chapter of the Fighting Tigers of Veda and has great fiction and discussions of all parts of the hobby. The Egroups Imperial Guard 1st The Millennium Gate. This website has a lot of good content, but is also the host of the Millennium Gate Forum, where a number of very experienced players go for discussions about various parts of the hobby. There is an excellent section devoted to discussing rules questions and how different people interpret the rules. There is also a good section on modeling with some excellent painters and modelers that are willing to share their secrets. There are many other sections as well, devoted to individual armies and 40k in general. This is a great place to find information or just talk to people who share a common interest. I post here as Dracon El T’taes, so look me up and say hi! The Blood Drinkers.
