www.vassal40k.com/As long as you have the rule book and codex, you can play 40k online for free, they feature almost all armies, with more on the way. I think they are missing space wolves though, but you can proxy. Everything is provided, boards, units, tape, templates, even kill/wound markers. Ralph and I had a 500 point game last night, it only took 1 hour to play because it was so easy to control. You can also have spectators and stuff, play from home, give it a go!

Just had another game, 1500 Bolter bitches versus Orks. First turn, my Shokk Attack Gun rolls a double one and evaporates! Could have done better with my stormboyz, but yeah, it's a good system and you others should install it. We use VOIP to talk as if face to face. Skype or Ventrillo basically. Everything else can be done over the boardgame. If anyone would like to have a game, there may be an opportunity Sunday Night, just install the game and let us know. Video of how to set it up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OBOTo94aUUSkip ahead if it's a bit dry and you just want to see the interface, but watch the rest if you actually want to play, will teach you how to play the program.

Can it run in a window and allow users to use, say, MSN to communicate?
Sound is down on my machine, at least for a while, so VOIP is not an option for me right now. :/

By default it runs in a window, and yeah you can use chat for talk, there is a chat box and all dice rolls and displayed between players, it's just slower.
There are even stickers you can place on the screen that say "TARGETING" and "FIRING" so you can label what you're doing rather than type out "My shoota boyz shoot your marines". You can create multiple templates and cover the whole screen in flame and explosion if you have the weapons to do it!
Individual models can be customised, I can give my warboss a shoota skorcha and powerklaw, and if the other player zooms in far enough he can see that clearly as I roll 6's against his bitches and maul his ass.
