Hey guys i was just wondering what is the current date in 40k and when is it going to be the 42nd millenium!

There is no current date in 40k. Everything is spread out, as are the events. But for most recent, there have been events that are 1 year from the beginning of the new millenium. I hope that helps a bit.

Thanks man it helps!

i still reckon they should bring out a few more armies, lyk sum poverty stricken race that rose up and became one of the biggest threats of the universe. or an army devoted to the anniahlation of tyranids or necrons, maybe a cross between two armies would be good :lol: just some ideas

They should bring out an army of heretics. Not chaos but others. Like a powerful cult that doesn't believe in the emperor or anything like that. That rose up to form a huge massvie army and they collects millions from all the other planets :ph43r:
What do you people think a new army should be?

I like the idea of a poverty stricken army that literally takes over most planets, lol. I would like an army in 40K abit like Skaven in WF as some of their units aint that bad. They wander around Imperial Castles doing no-good. I also think that they should add more units to armies such as Necrons and Sisters of Battle as they have hardly much chooseable units compared to Imperial.

Hmm lets see hereitcs they call them traitor guard and feral poverty striken people theyre what 40k likes to call catachans/mutants.


I Think making a new race would crowd the universe to much. Although if something is to happen i should think it would nvolve the Tau as all theyre doing is growing so fast its going to consume everything. Either that or a threat to the tyranids.

i rekon they should make like a side army, like kroot, they are working wit tau, they should make one like that except they work for wateva race wants them.

Nice idea Oblivious. I sometimes think that they are biased to a couple of armies i 40K as they have much more units!!!!!! Think of the Sisters Of Battle, look at how poxy there army selection is. :lol:

yeah thats true they are very biased with some armies, :lol: they need to be biased with every army, but i suspose they are just trying to make it seem realistic

What? All Armies can beat all Armies, it depends on the tactics. And here's an Army Convertion Table from Fantasy to 40K


Empire/Brettonians: Space Marines/Imperial Guard/Witch Hunters/Daemon Hunters
Lizardmen: Tau (OK, it's a bit sketchy)
Skaven: Tyranids (hordes)
Orcs: Orks
Dark Elves: Dark Eldar
High Elves/Wood Elves: Eldar
Chaos: Chaos
Vampire Counts/Tomb Kings: Necrons

I know i've missed out a few armies but I can't be bothered to look them up right now.

no, not all armies can beat all armies, that would just be stupid. i mean, even out some of the stistics, if one army has a postive, then they should even it out with giving another army a positive that matches that, but not too much, otherwise like you said darmort, armies can beat all armies,

Well its true any army can beat any army.

Yep. It doesn't depend on the army, it depends on the person playing the army. Bad tactics can lose a battle many times over.

yeah, thats very true. no wonder i lose alot, i have bad tactics :lol: i need help with tactics :D

Well then, make a thread and ask the fellow members about tactics for your army. I think this thread is dead as far as on topic wise.

yeh i think i might just do that then, :lol: yeah true it is a bit dead now

warhammer 40k has more of a ring to it than warhammer 41k or 42k
I'm on topic :)

yeh thats probably why they called it 'warhammer 40k', but they will probably make another century of warhammer, but that should be ages away

well in the time line its about to turn into 41k! thats why they brang out dawn of war!

well i think that they should bring out a warhammer 80k and just bring them out like that...like i said it will be ages away

but a warhammer 41k sounds cool. Will they bring out new armies or just upgrade stats for the present armies?

Some one wrote some rules for a new army and asked me to put them in the House Rules on my site. Other than that, I think that bringing back the Squats or making a real race from the Hrud or Demiurg would be a great step forwards.

Salty :)

Well...it would be cool if they just advance the timeline without having to change the title. If they did change the title, it would pretty much change the entire game.

yeah but they would still probably find some way to jib us over in prices, they probably will only just advance the timeline, give each army one upgrade, and then jack up the prices

Making it into a new game gives GW the excuse to up the prices once again and totally change the rules and force us to fork out for a new rulebook and a whole heap of new models.
I doubt they would change it as lone wolf said it has a little more ring to it.
I think that new armies dont exactly fit anymore. There just isnt enough room.
Upgrading armies just complicates things. That means they have to re-educate us, which will end up costing us

I say that this campaign (galactic storm) should end the millenium and whoe ever wins should start the new millenium on a crusade, just to even things up a bit.

i heard they are making a new ork codex yeah

but why are they just making an ork codex, and no other codexes. there are other armies out there, for example. ill use my nids codex, it has nothing in it, it has the stats and then a few rules, painting tips and thats it,

other codexes have tactics in it and so on

There's also rumors of new SM chapter codexes but I doubt that will be anytime soon.

they should bring out new codexes for every army soon,

They were spose to being codex's out ages ago. It just hasn't happened yet.

well when...if they brin out new codexes, i hope they put more stuff in them, i.e. tactics more stats etc

I don't think they will have tatics but they should have heaps of cool stuff.

well thats crap. the necron codex has tactics, army formations etc. but the nids codex doesnt have anything.

they should put tactics in every one

Eldar codex doesn't have tatics either.

well i don't know about any other codexs, but i know that necrons have tactics and battle formations in them

I posted this same thread on And Chambers' new site, and I got some decent replies, from him and people there;

It would appear that GW is going to have campaigns and such in other regions of the galaxy; for example, the Eye of Terra and Third War for Armageddon were both supposed to have occured very close to each other, if not at the same time.

The main consensus there appears to be that wars are occuring at the same time across the length and breadth of the galaxy, so thats where they'll go next.
