Hi from Russia! Warhammer 40k player and gamer reporting :)

[PuPs_RK]

Hey folks! I'm Shawn, i'm almost 32, a gamer for past 25+ years or so. Living in Moscow, Russia for past 20 years. Yes, i speak Russian. I do voice acting, narration, stream and produce videos at Gaijin Entertainment (War Thunder, Crossout and others). My second job is Youtube/streaming (for now i make content in Russian only) mostly about Warhammer 40k and games in general, across all platforms for 80k subscribers and counting. Recently i voiced Word Bearers in the upcoming VR game Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth.

An avid fan of Warhammer 40k tabletop, been playing that since late 4th edition, i currently have a large force of Imperial Guard, Ultramarines, Imperial Knights, a smaller force of Grey Knights, plus i'm making a new army of Freeguilders for AOS. Also a casual player of MTG Modern.

Well, now onto video games: currently playing and streaming (exclusively in Russian, at least for now) with PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, PS2, PSTV, Switch, Wii U, Wii, Dreamcast and even Ouya. Some of my favorite games are: MGS, Fallout, Jagged Alliance 2, Resident Evil, Grandia, Chromehounds, Advent Rising, C&C, Grim Fandango, Vandal Hearts, Deus Ex, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian.

Used to play paintball and airsoft.

Well, what's up?

Черепа для трона черепов!
(Skulls for the skull throne !)

Приветствую тебя, брат
(I greet you, brother)

[Tom]

You're the third Russian besides me and one other guy here
Judging by the introduction threads

[PuPs_RK]

Well, that's a start Lets hope we can get more people from wherever on here!

I'm loyal to the Emperor That Word Bearer VO was a special mission

[Tom]

My force is currently in a planning stage (i'm broke af), but i am LF to buy da orkz and mb some stuff like Adeptus mechanicus or Astra militarum.
I had a squad of tzeentch marines with a DIY Lord-mage long ago before, don't have access to them right now.
PuPs_RK

Maybe i'll do Dark Mechanicus x Astra Militarum traitors/cultists or something, but i just like da orkz

[PuPs_RK]

If that's your first force, then i suggest you start small. Buy a box, build a squad. Get another, repeat. Don't try and collect several armies at a time, you won't finish either of them.

[Tom]

Yeah, this is exactly how i see it , thx for the advice.
I am more of a collector/bookworm than a tabletop player tho

I played jagged alliance 2! That game was awesome!

Oh man, those were the days. Have you seen the abomination they market as a remake? Jagged Alliance: Rage! Man, when people can't even put a decent trailer together, you know the game is in trouble.

[Drimdrim]

Welcome welcome!
40k is king!

[PuPs_RK]

Do you play or read books?

[Drimdrim]

I have collected fantasy and 40k for years, but never played however recently been trying to get into 8th edition tho. And currently going through HH audiobooks (On Legion atm)

[PuPs_RK]

8th edition is super easy, although cutting the game from 100-some pages of core rules to just 10, naturally, made certain game aspects take a hit. But the game is so much faster now, just throw in some home rules and you're fine.

Never again have been all Gender-Differences vanished so effectively. I was addicted to this one. Deidranna got what she deserved.

Still can't shake the emotional experience of freeing a guy from her prison, whose son she killed in a puplic display.

[PuPs_RK]

Remember the t-shirt factory filled with kids and its manager?

[Kraneloran]

@PuPs_RK

Yes, I do. I shot the women who was supervising them, even though I was able to convince her to give me the key and leave.

Remember Eliot with a hole in his head still being all like "Yes Ma'am"? xD

[PuPs_RK]

"Elliot you idiot! You can't even die properly!"

[Tom]

Forgot to mention:

Those shelves are gorgeous! Great collection!

[PuPs_RK]

Thanks, man! That collection took me almost 10 years to get.

[Lemartes]

Nice to see more 40K representation

How fun was the Word Bearers voice acting? That sounds like an amazing experience.

[PuPs_RK]

Acting out evil characters is always fun

[BattleBruvaFriskyBadger]

Will it be as hammy and cool like it was in DoW 1?

[PuPs_RK]

You can check it out for yourself, the game's available in early access on steam

[BattleBruvaFriskyBadger]

Warhammer 40k VR game??? Holy shit I wanna see that

[HisEvilness]

40k has some great lore to bad my Russian isn't very good to check out some of your content.
But that said the Russian i do know is Cyka blyat!
!

[PuPs_RK]

Oh, right. Trust me - Suka blyad' is a kinda bad way of breaking the ice with Russians, since most Russians who's been on the internet longer than a year, will be fatigued by this meme.

Better off to say: Privet! Kak dela? (Hi! How are you doing?)

[HisEvilness]

Yeh I kinda started that one, Russian Armed Forces where cracking up about the latest iteration couple of months ago "Poland here we come!"

[PuPs_RK]

I'm afraid i don't know what you're talking about. Can you please explain?

[Methpoodle]

Greetings. Memes for the meme god.

[Ingeld]

Hey. Tabletop Warhammer is something I always wanted to get into, but it's so expensive and I sadly don't have time to paint my own figurines. Sadly games workshops in my area are 100% 'woke'. It's hard to find a group of people who aren't obsessed with petty politics to play with.

[PuPs_RK]

Hi! Well, you can buy pre-owned and painted armies pretty cheap on Ebay. What area is that? Perhaps you can find potential players on here!
