So everywhere I look people are talking about 2,000 point armies or numbers of the sort. I know that this means there are points assigned to each unit based on its value. However, I can not find this number anywhere. I bought the battle for skull pass and have read the rule book and I can't find such numbers. I feel that this may be a large part of the game that I don't know about. Can anyone tell me where to find these values?
Basically: what he said
If you want to get more into the hobby, you'll need an army book. That gives you the proper rules for army selection. If you are happy with dwarfs or orcs, start one of them. They are good armies and each have a little of everything. Even better: you already have an army of about 500 pts and a few characters.

Hobbies a source of pleasure
Some hobbies strike many people as trivial or boring, hobbyists have found something compelling and entertaining about them. Much early scientific research was, in effect, a hobby of the wealthy. A hobby may not be as it appears at a time when it has relatively few followers.Hobbies can include basket-weaving, curling, golf, bowling and model building.
Collecting
The hobby of collecting consists of acquiring specific items based on a particular interest of the collector. These collections of things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, and attractively displayed. Since collecting depends on the interests of the individual collector, it may deal with almost any subject. The depth and breadth of the collection may also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a specific subtopic within their area of general interest. There are also individuals, who take up collection of coins as their hobby; in both the cases the people try to hold on to the identities. Some collections are capable of being completed, at least to the extent of owning one sample of each possible item in the collection. Collectors who specifically try to assemble complete collections in this way are sometimes called "completer." Upon completing , they may stop collecting, expand the collection to include related items, or begin an entirely new collection. Many completelists are also referred to as date sets, and can be stored in a number of coin holders. The most popular of the coin holders for date sets are coin albums.The most popular fields in collecting have specialized commercial dealers that trade in the items being collected, as well as related accessories. Many of these dealers started as collectors themselves, then turned their hobby into a profession. Someone who has the financial means to collect stamps might not be able to collect sport cars, for example. One alternative to collecting physical objects is collecting experiences of a particular kind. Examples include collecting through observation or photography (especially popular for transportation, e.g. train spotting, bus, and systematically visiting continents, countries (and collecting stamps in their passports), states, national parks, countries etc.
Games
A game is a structured or semi-structured recreational activity, usually undertaken for enjoyment(although sometimes for physical or vocational training). A goal that the players try to reach and a set of rules concerning what the players can or cannot do create the challenge and structure in a game, and are thus central to its definition. Known to have been played as far back as games are generally distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration. Because a wide variety of activities are enjoyable, numerous types of games have developed. What creates an enjoyable game varies from one individual to the next. Age, understanding (of the game), intelligence level, and personality are factors that determine what games a person enjoys. Depending on these factors, people vary the number and complexity of objectives, rules, challenges, and participants to increase their enjoyment. Games generally involve mental and/or physical stimulation. Many games help develop practical skills and serve as exercise or perform an educational, stimulation, psychological role.
Games come in many different forms. Many children like to play outdoor games that involve physical activity such as cops and robbers and hide and go seek. Adults play games in more conventional setting, such as in the form of card games, board games, and in recent times,video games.
Outdoor recreation
Outdoor pursuits can be loosely considered to be the group of sports and activities which are dependent on the great outdoors, incorporating such things as hill walking, hiking, backpacking, canoeing, skiing, climbing, caving, and arguably broader groups such as water sports and snow sport. Outdoor sports most often include nature in the "sport".
While obviously enjoyed by many as a bit of fun, an adrenaline rush, or an escape from reality, outdoor sport is also frequently used as an extremely effective medium in education and team building. It is this ethos that has given rise to links with young people, such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and PGL, and large numbers of outdoor education centres being established, as the stress on the importance of a balanced and widespread education continues to grow. Depending on the persons' desired level of adrenaline, outdoors can be considered a type of hobby.
As interest increases, so has the rise of commercial outdoor pursuits, with outdoor kit stores opening up in large numbers and thriving, as well as outdoor pursuits journalism and magazines, both on paper and online.
The increased accessibility of outdoor pursuits resources has been the source of some negative publicity over the years also, with complaints of destroying the landscape. A widely-seen example is the destruction of hillsides as footpaths are eroded by excessive numbers of visitors.
Creative hobbies
Some hobbies result in an end product of sorts. Examples of this would be woodworking,photography, movie making, jewelry making, playing a musical instrument, software projects such as Photo shopping and home music or video production, making bracelets friendship bracelets,artistic projects (such as drawing, painting, etc.), creating models out of card or paper called paper craft up to higher end projects like building or restoring a car, such as a Jowett or building a computer from scratch. While these may just be for the enjoyment of the hobbyist, they sometimes have potential to be a small business.
Scale modeling/diagramas
Replicas of real things in a smaller scale go all the way back to prehistoric times, as small clay "dolls" and other children's toys have been found near known population areas. Greeks, Romans, and Persians took the form to a greater depth during their years of world domination, using scale replicas of enemy fortifications, coastal defense lines, and other geographic fixtures to plan battles.
At the turn of the Industrial Age through the 1920s, families could more often afford things such as electric trains, wind up toys (typically boats or cars) and the increasingly valuable tin toy soldiers.
Model engineering refers to building functioning machinery in metal, such as internal combustion motors and live steam models or locomotives. This is a demanding hobby, requiring a multitude of large and expensive tools, e.g. lathes and mills. This hobby originated in the UK in the late 19th century, later spread and flourished in the mid-20th century. Due to the expense and space required, it is becoming more rare.
Scale modeling as we know it today became popular shortly after World War II. Prior to 1946, children as well as adults were content in carving and shaping wooden replicas from block wood kits, often depicting enemy aircraft to help in identification in case of invasion.
With the advent of modern plastics, the amount of skill required to get the basic shape accurately shown for any given subject was lessened, making it easier for people of all ages to begin assembling replicas in varying scales. Superheros, aeroplanes, boats, cars, tanks, artillery, and even figures of soldiers became quite popular subjects to build, paint and display. Although almost any subject can be found in almost any scale, there are common scales for such miniatures which remain constant today.
Figures are probably the most variable of all subjects in terms of scale, and are often referred to as their metric equivalent... for example, a 1:32 scale figure soldier is more commonly described as "54mm". Likewise other popular sizes are 90mm, 120mm and almost every increment in between. An example of a Diorama hobby is Warhammer 40,000, from Games Workshop
In addition to plastic kits, resin has become a popular material for "short run" productions. The level of detail is often quite exquisite, and while more expensive than the typical plastic soldier, is much easier to work with and modify than White Metal or Pewter figures.
Scale modeling is no longer a high growth industry as it was during the 60's and 70's, but there are still thousands of retail shops selling kits, supplies, paints, and tools to support both the new and established hobbyist. There are certainly more companies producing more varieties of kits on various subjects than ever before, and the levels of detail has become unbelievably accurate with the advent of modern drafting and molding equipment, and digitized CAD software to drive accuracy to the 1000th of an inch.
With the increased costs of good kits moving upward, and entertainment competition for youth moving more towards computers and video gaming in the home, the average age of the avid hobbyist is now much older than ever before - with adults making up the vast majority of enthusiasts. At the same time, there are probably more people building now than ever, and there is a large selection of supportive magazines such as Fine Scale Modeller, Military Miniatures in Review (MMiR) and Tamiya Magazine to please almost every niche and taste of interest, from every imaginable era. There are also several modeling clubs in most cities, with the largest and best known International Plastic Modellers' Society (IPMS) supporting chapters and contests around the world.
Cooking
Cooking is an act of preparing food for eating. It encompasses a vast range of methods, tools and combinations of ingredients to improve the flavour or digestibility of food. It generally requires the selection, measurement and combining of ingredients in an ordered procedure in an effort to achieve the desired result. Constraints on success include the variability of ingredients, ambient conditions, tools and the skill of the individual cooking.
The diversity of cooking worldwide is a reflection of the myriad nutritional, aesthetic, agricultural, economic, cultural and religious considerations that impact upon it. Cooking requires applying heat to a food which usually, though not always, chemically transforms it, thus changing its flavor, texture, appearance, and nutritional properties. Cooking proper, as opposed to roasting, requires the boiling of water or oil in a receptacle, and was practised at least since the 10th millennium BC with the introduction of pottery. There is archaeological evidence of roasted foodstuffs, both animal and vegetable, in human (Homo erectus) campsites dating from the earliest known use of fire some 800,000 years ago.
Gardening
Residential gardening most often takes place in or about a residence, in a space referred to as the garden. Although a garden typically is located on the land near a residence, it may also be located in a roof, in an atrium, on a balcony, in a window box, or on a patio or vivarium.
A gardener
Gardening also takes place in non-residential green areas, such as parks, public or semi-public gardens (botanical gardens or zoological gardens), amusement and theme parks, along transportation corridors, and around tourist attractions and hotels. In these situations, a staff of gardeners or groundskeepers maintains the gardens.
Reading
Reading, such as reading books, magazines, comics, or newspapers, along with browsing the internet is a common hobby and one that can trace its origins back many hundreds of years. A love of literature later in life may be sparked by an interest in reading children's literature as a child. One of the great benefits of reading as a hobby is that it can be taken up and put down whenever a free moment presents itself. When reading paperback books, it is easy to take the reading material on holiday or on public transport with very little inconvenience. One great advantage is that it allows the human mind to create its own view of the world portrayed in the book.

Benefits of a Warhammer Online Wiki
A Warhammer Online wiki is a great source to collaborate information on the popular MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Every visitor can share their wealth of knowledge making it a centralized location of information.
Wikis are great sites to collaborate information, even for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. There is a ton of information in the world of Warhammer Online; over 20 different scenarios, four thousand quests, thousands of items, NPCs and much more. A War wiki is a great place to centralize that information and build a great informative community to help other players. The wiki relies heavily on the Warhammer Online community to develop its growth and accuracy of information.
Every person who visits a Warhammer Online wiki has access to edit, delete and contribute information to improve the content. It is a forever growing entity that continues to be developed by the owners and visitors. Every edit is logged in case of abuse or the previous edit was better and can be reverted. You can see as each page develops and the entire history of how it evolved. Volunteers and staff are required to monitor all the information inputted from the community to assure it meets guidelines and are of quality and not just spam.
If you’re unable to find the information you’re looking for at the time you visit, you can always check back at a later time or if you found what you’re looking you can always share it on the wiki. There is a discussion page on each content page which acts as a forum. You can request for updates, information, add comments or just chat away. You can find direct help from other members as you would on a forum.
We all know how popular Wikipedia is. They are the world’s largest encyclopedia. Their information is great but there are certain topics which are not covered in depth. With a game like Warhammer Online, their world is huge and forever changing. Patches are released approximately twice a month with new content and changes to the current environment. Without the help of a large community it does become difficult for a wiki to have the most updated information unless they have a large amount of volunteer writers or staffs who contributes to that information as well.
Wikis have their own built in search engine for you to find the information you need but like most things in life, it is never perfect. Broadening your search term or using different spelling variations may help with what you’re looking for. For example, instead of searching for “beginning quests for Chosen” you can instead search for “quests” and see what links become available to you. Wiki engine uses a rather different engine and many people may have trouble finding the information they’re looking for even if it is available. An alternative is using the most popular search engine Google as a medium. You can search the specific site followed by the information you’re looking for. An example would be “site:domain beginning quests for Sorcerer”.
Down to the core, wikis are a great place to find and exchange information. With a great team behind the wiki would be a good start but with a large community helping it can be the best source of information for Warhammer Online. If you find something useful in a wiki then give a little back to the community who gave you that information. Become a “good internet citizen” and share your wealth of knowledge. You will be recognized in the community and will receive great respect and help when needed.

I have turned down all the settings and am getting another gig of RAM in a few days, hopefully this will help...
IIRC the system minimum requirements are 1G of RAM to run the game with XP Professional. Usually the games minimum requirements will run the game but not run it well. Something you may try to narrow the problem down is, lower all the system settings, turn off all the bells and whistles and try a lower populated server to see if it runs any better. I am betting by adding 1G of RAM you see most of the problem fixed. One thing to remember is that the game is new and there are going to be lag and bug issues because of this, should get better with time.
I have a newer, higher end computer and I don’t typically have lag issues. For the most part I run error free but every now and again I have lag issues and I have been kicked a couple times, I attribute this to the servers being new. Best of luck.

I've recently been considering getting in to Warhammer 40k. How much would it cost me total to have a decent army, book, etc?
Any good ways of saving some money on these things?
Well, to start with, you're well-advised to go with the Assault on Black Reach boxed set. For £48.95 you get two armies, plus the rulebook, dice, measuring sticks, templates and everything you need to know to start playing straight away. The miniatures alone, bought separately, would cost over £100, so it really is the bargain of the century, wargaming-wise.
To move beyond the constraints of the AoBR boxed set, you'll need to decide on an army (obviously, the cheapest option will be Orks or Space Marines, as these are the armies already included in the boxed set!) and buy the relevant codex. The marine codex is £18, the ork one, £15 (but prices are going up in September, apparently).
After that, how much you want to spend is really up to you and the size of the army you want to buy. You can save a lot of money by browsing ebay or by going to any one of the excellent online retailers, such as http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk and http://www.giftsforgeeks.org.uk, where GW prices are discounted by more than 10% and often free postage is available.
With careful buying you can get an army of 1000-1500 point for less than £150, but you need to add paints and modelling materials into that, too. Let's say that you can get in and play to tournament standards with a good-sized army for less than £200. But if you can stop at £200 then you're a better man than me.
