Well as the hobby shop I order from doesn't have very much Warhammer and 40k models in,I thought of dabbling in Iron kingdoms.I was just wondering if anyone else plays it and is it like a full scale wargame or more,like Talisman or D&D.

From the wikipedia: The Iron Kingdoms is a campaign setting for the d20 fantasy RPG system and set in the same fictional world as the WARMACHINE miniatures wargame.
Warmachine and Hordes are closer to 40k/fantasy, where you'll have between 15-50 models on one side for an average game. It sounds like the Iron Kingdoms books are more along the lines of sourcebooks for D&D though.
Yes, the Iron Kingdoms is a D20 Roleplay/D&D 3.5 setting.

Yup. IK is the RPG side of Warmachine. It's a bit like WHFB/WHFRP in that they both sow the same 'world' but from a different enough point of view that it can feel very different.
If you're looking for a game to try the best bet might be to jsut hang out and see what other local gamers play.
Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.
Play the games that make you happy.
