DoW2 beta reminded me of how much I loved the warhammer background haha http://www.dakkadakka.com is a pretty nice site in terms of competitive 40k (as well as having some sweet painting/modelling sections), it's like a waaaaay more political correct version of TL I guess. Oh and I'm currently painting up a bunch of Eldar, but I suffer terribly from indecisivness - going from Orks (since they come with the starter kit, and I have an old 2nd edition starter kit I bought ages ago, with, you guessed it, more orks..), to Eldar, to now wanting to pick up some Sisters of Battle once I'm done with the Eldar.. | ||

Of course, if you have a few friends who play and bathe regularly, it can be pretty fun. But we switched over to a game called Mordheim pretty quickly (made by the same people, but more of a small skirmish based game, with experience, treasure, leveling up, etc.). | ||

Fantasy has good fluff too, but HOLY CHRIST the 40k fluff is just unreal. However when it comes to ruels, fantasy pisses all over 40k. (i am slightly biased, i am a fantasy tournament player. However even basic comparison of the rule sets show that fantasy is far deeper.) | ||

But remember: Fantasy>40K and wood elves are gay. Have fun playing! Edit: On April 16 2009 07:45 kefkalives wrote: 40k has a retarded ruleset. If you want a deep, strategical boardgame go with fantasy. if you want a game with fucking amazing fluff (backstory) but shitty rules, go with 40k.

In addition, the current Fantasy balance seems fucking AWFUL - something like half the total armies at one of the recent big events were Demons, with the majority of the remaining half playing Vampire Counts or Dark Elves.. Of course, I don't have much personal experience to back this up and I prefer the 40k universe so I'm biased ~_~ EDIT: UK GT results for WHFB: UK GT Final players are drawn from the more succesful players of three separate UK GT events called heats. Special characters were allowed like usual. No composition scoring. Here's the top10 results of the 2009 final tournament: 1. Andy Isherwood - Daemons 2. Fabio Panicucci - Daemons 3. Fabian Quinn - Vampire Counts 4. Ella Bonucci - Daemons 5. Tom Mawdsley - Daemons 6. Phil Manwaring - Dark Elves 7. Eddie Eccles - Daemons 8. Neil Peckett - Daemons 9. Adam Hall - Dwarfs 10. Russ Veal - Warriors of Chaos See the following link if you're interested in the results: http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=54627 http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/231372.page 40k Results: For those not living in the UK, they held the 40K GT finals this weekend. If you are unfamiliar with the event, they have 3 Heats held in the fall and they take the top players to then go onto the finals held this weekend. It is a 6 game GT, at 1500 points, and they draw players from all over Europe. The top ten armies where: (Taken from The Warhammer forum) Eldar Chaos Chaos Eldar Orks Chaos Tyranids Orks Witchunter Orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/233402.page http://warhammerworld.typepad.com/files/wh40ktosgt-final-mkii-r6.pdf - full | ||

Nid and necrons are the only other respectable races ^ ^ everyone else is gay, THAT'S right i called Tau and their Rail gun gay. dark eldar used to be able to cross a table first turn and get melee strikes in XD everyone else is a gayer version of the afore mentioned, and orks in space has always been a huge wtf moment for me. | ||

For fantasy i played skaven...had around 2.5k...but sold that army years ago. I'm still thinking if i will get into fantasy or 40k...and suggestions? The "new" rule's melee system is just ridiculous and IMHO nerfs melee units far too much. There were some other minor issues I don't remember off the bat. If you haven't played 40K yet, you should give it a try, but chances are that you will indeed feel a lack of in-depth strategy.

[DISCLAIMER] When I refer to the races below, I'm mainly speaking from a competitive point of view. [/DISCLAIMER] I disagree. Necrons as they are seem like one big joke to me. They're the Protoss of WH40K. Every kid plays them and they take absolutely zero skill to master. Tyranids are nice, but they're pretty one dimensional, when it comes to a competitive level. I don't like Tau that much either, but they're not that easy to play, I have to admit. Hardest race IMO is Orks or standard Space Marines. Gayest races (in competitive play) are both Eldar races (especially Dark Eldar) since they can be abused like no other. Although Chaos Space Marines are really cool, I had the most fun (and success) playing a totally standard Ultramarine Space Marine army. It's a real challenge because every other race has got so much "fancy" stuff on their hands while you have nothing but the standard Space Marine units. This forces you to play as effectively as anyhow possible, if you want to win. | ||
