Warhammer 40000

There is no set amount of 'men' required to play Warhammer, as it is a points and unit based system. Each character or unit of 'men' (Elves, dragons, Chaos Space Marines, Monsters... the list goes on) is worth a set amount of points. When you play a game or Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer Fantasy, you and your opponent will agree on a certain points limit for the battle.

You select units for your army, ensuring that the sum total of their points does not exceed the total agreed upon by the waring parties. The force you select also has to include certain elements, and these differ between then Warhammer systems.

To play a Warhammer 40,000 game, you have to have a HQ (Commander type character) and two units of troops.

For Warhammer Fantasy you must take a Lord, and two units of core.

15 Points in addition to the cost of the Captain

6"

"Fast attack" is a section in the codex usually including that race more mobile units.

However. There are some units that have special rules that allow them to charge 12" instead of the regular 6".

It is in the Apocalypse rule book. The points varies based on the armaments.

Front Armour

WS is the Weapon Skill of a particular miniature, ranging from 0 - 10, and it represents that miniatures ability to fight in close combat, a high skill means that that model fights better in combat.

WS is compared between to miniatures fighting, to decide on what roll (4+, 3+ etc) is required to hit in combat.

It depends, are you talking about a 40k army or just a Warhammer army? A codex costs $25, and you need it to play. You will need 2 Troops and an HQ for a basic force. You might be able to start a small space marine army with two 5 man squads and a captain. You could start a very small Daemonhunters army if you buy 2 boxes of Cadians and use them as Stormtroopers (a pretty simple conversion) that should run you $45ish (unless you make two 5 man squads then you only need one box and that cuts the price in half) alone then you'd need an Inquisitor or a Grey knights hero which runs $15ish. You could also do the same thing with a Witch hunters army except instead of the Hero it's a Sisters of Battle Heroine. Wtih $90 you could get started with almost an army, $70 is cutting it close. I don't know enough about the xenos armies or chaos to know the prices. Hope this helps!

He grants the command squad Feel No Pain, I believe you can find out what it does by looking at special rules. Think of feel no pain as a second armor save, its quite helpful and he can save some units.

The mob special rule allows a unit to ignore leadership tests as long as the squad strength remain above a set level.

Answer No, the +2 is the strength bonus it gives you.

When asked to do a toughness test you roll one die and compare it to the models toughness. You pass if you are equal to or less then your stat. a roll of a 6 always fails this test.

They're useful in the same way that ever other unit is useful; if you use them in the right situation. You should ask instead 'How can I use Deff Dredds to their greatest effect?'

Heavy support itself doesn't cost any points, you are allowed to put 3 units in it but how much you put in it is up to you on a game to game basis.

Literally Space Marines who turned evil.

In the 31st Millennium, the Primarch Horus was chosen by his father the immortal Emperor to be His Warmaster and continue His Great Crusade while the Emperor returned to Terra. Arrogance, conflict, and the powers of the warp twisted Horus's mind, turning him against his father. Having forsaken the Imperium, Horus managed to turn fully half of the 20 Space Marine legions against the Emperor. Civil war ravaged the galaxy for years until Horus was finally defeated. The surviving traitor marines, now known as Chaos Marines (for in forsaking the Imperium, they had pledged their allegiance to Chaos--the powers of the warp), retreated to the Eye of Terror, where they continue to plan and launch raids and campaigns against the Imperium of Mankind.

The only difference is the weapons load outs.

Not really, oil paints would not take to the models well (especially the metal cast ones) and would not allow for much detail. Additionally oil paints would likely cost alot more than the recommended citadel paint.

No you can't , the rules are completely different.

(standard procedure)

In order to become a space marine you have to be high above standard physique in all matters.

The young recruits will be trained and undergo psycho-conditioning and receive the basic implants of a space marine. Only a few succeed. Some dies. Then the recruits will take part of a scout squad where they undergo combat training and take part in different missions.

When a scout is deemed ready he'll receive the all of the 19 implants that turn his body into that of a space marine.

On Gamesworkshop, Mini War Gaming, Beasts of War. There are plenty of tips to make terrain. First thing you need to do is to get a board to begin construction of how large you want it to be. Static grass or stone tile look from terrain building for war gaming can be found all around the net. Also keep in mind, Warhammer 40k has GOTHIC scenery, so if you want the right feel, look at Aquila buildings at Games Workshop, or if you have the hand to sculpt it, look at modern day Gothic architecture for inspiration. Good Luck, and happy war gaming.

Alas not as of yet.

Space Marines and Guard don't turn on each other. Some Guard and Marines are declared heretics by the Inquisition. That means they no longer fight for the Emperor and are either renegades (which can still be called on in times of need) or have fallen to the Dark Gods of Chaos. You also must keep in mind that most Guardsmen have never seen a Space Marine (or an Asartes as they call them) they have heard of them, but if a Guardsman regiment that has heard rumors of the arch enemy being there with Chaos Space Marines and has never seen an Asartes before will fire on any thing that they think looks like a Heretic to them. If the Guard regiment fired on a loyal Space Marine strike force they would then be declared Hereticus and immediately killed.
