Warhammer is the big one out there. I dabbled in it years ago but didn't get into then. What other cool table top games are there? Which ones have the coolest figurines? Actually anything with figures in it I'd like to know about.

What cool sites are there devoted to this stuff?
Anything would be cool. Thanks!

Well, as my thread made obvious, Hero Clix is a hell of a lot of fun.

I've also heard some friends of mine say very good things about Mordheim, also from Games Workshop. It's more of a skirmish game than a huge battle game like Warhammer.

Only table tops I ever remember playing are Car Wars and Ogre. What a blast those two were. I think I still have my Ogre around here somewhere...

Some friends of mine had a model-making company and made large-scale OGRE figures for conventions. The smaller tanks were about eight inches long, with the OGREs themselves over two feet long. It was neat seeing these things spread out all over the floor.

These same guys also had a Star Wars capital ship combat system they took to cons, featuring a six-foot long Star Destroyer and everything scaled down from there. I helped them run the game on several occassions, and it was a blast.

Well, I still have my "Will give reach-arounds for Magic:The Gathering cards."

Seriously though, I used to love model building and as I mentioned in another thread, I played a star wars board game that had figurines with it. It just seemed to make things come alive! So I remembered my gaming days and warhammer and I suddenly wanted to get back into it. That site you linked to rocks. I'll be checking it out for a while. Danks again.

I grew up playing Car Wars and Ogre and stuff, but what uses to take most of my time was a tabletop (actually pool-table top) game that we created for the Wheeled Warriors toys. It was a take off of CW but not as complex and very quick and simple to set up. Initial vehicle set-up involved piling all the accessories into the middle of the table, each person taking turns picking parts out and sticking them on their chassis. Very fun game. I still have the grocery bag of accessories sitting in my bedroom.

We also hoarked the Car Wars maps and created a Transformers Table-top RPG along the same lines. It was fun creating a 50' Decepticon with two linked fusion cannons (he had to be huge to handle the recoil factor on the fusion cannon)
