I'm playing Infinity. At first it was quite a change, but now I'm loving it and playing veraciously.
I've got one army, a second started and some addons to my first army on the way and looking towards a 3rd. But they are all small so far with little options.
I've gotten 2 other 40k'ers into infinity, and much interest at my LGS. If the store carried it I bet there'd be at least 4 other regular players.

Haven't purchased a GW product since my exodus. Bought about 3 PP armies though.

I have not bought any GW stuff for about 2 months now. I feel bad for my FLGS, but with school, I no longer can afford to make a new army with out selling my guard or tau, which I do not want to do.

I've been true to my word and stopped building my DE, a coven list would require me to get a second mortgage at this point. I might at most flesh out my tau if they ever bother to give me a codex that will make my one mostly paintied army actually function halfway decently again.
I do by the occasional citadel foundation paint, as they are quite good, and I've yet to track down a replacement.
I've purchased about two and a half armies worth of PP since they hacked me off and haven't had so much fun painting mini's...welll ever really.
Seriously, the PP mini's I've painted (for the cryx faction) look great even given my mediocre painting talents, and I don't have to paint 2 dozen of the same damn thing unless I go out of my way to run infantry heavy.

Since May, I've picked up more Crews and minions for my Malifaux forces, Pulp City and Chronoscope models to use for SuperSystem, the rulebooks (and an incoming Haqqislam army) for Infinity, the rules for Strange Aeons, Pulp City and the Rules With No Name, in addition to resin bases, scenery bits and other models that catch my eye.
And though the urge to complete my Stormvermin unit is still high (only have 23 of the last metal stormvermin), so far I have resisted... and will continue to do so.
Currently looking at trying out Puppet Wars, and seeing if Dystopian Wars is worth further investment.

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

Want to get a bit more done before posting pics.
But have to push on soon as I want them ready for a Vampires v Hunters campaign at half-term (ie near Halloween)

Very well. I shall be satisfied with this, but only grudgingly. I'm going to hold you to that vague implication of posting pics though.

Does ' 40k FTW!'= Warhammer 40,000, For Time Wasted?
Seriously , if you have tried other games systems , and you think 40k is the game for you, fair enough.

Firestorm Armada all the way _ GW prices are just getting silly. Some great models - just picked up WD and the new Orge Firebreather looks great - but £23 for one models - ridiculous, For £10 more i can get a new Firestorm fleet - know where my moneys going

@ Lanrak- FTW means my fething opinion.
Hey what book should i start with first for firestorm armada fluff?
I cant wait for the warmahoard movie gonna be groovy.
Infinity does look kinda cool , if it was around when i was a child in the 80's then i would hold it in high regards too.
I like Gw because of all the extras as well as the game : my two cents.

MonPoc movie, not Warmahordes. WM/H is just getting a video game for the moment.
Also, I'm really unsure why anyone would value the pile of crap that was Ultramarines at all...

I must say, I do like Black Library books, FFG, etc. In fact, I appreciate it even more now because I can purchase reasonably priced novels, board games, card games, etc., to immerse myself in the Warhammer/Warhammer 40,000 universe instead of selling organs to fund armies for their games or waiting ten years for a new codex.
