Subject: Why Warhammer 40k is better than Warhammer Fantasy Battles
I thought this thread would actually be about 40k vs WFB. Someone should do another of those threads because lots of the problems people used to have with WFB seem to have been fixed in the new edition of WFB.
2. Yeah. It sucks when someone has 6+ armies for a game system and can't be bothered to play it anymore because it's become the last refuge of the community dregs.

Six plus? Give us a full count, after all, you've only used the fingers on one hand.
Eldar - 2K
Death Guard CSM - 3K
Black Legion CSM - 2K
Daemons - I can do a stand alone army at 2K for each power.
Orks - 2K
Emporer's Children CSM - 2K
There's 6. If you count my Khorne World Eater and Demon Engine Apocalypse formations - Maelstrom of Gore(currently rebuilding this with Forgeworld World Eaters), Brass Scorpion (made from Defilers), Slaughterfiend Bloodpack, Cauldron of Blood (using the Plaguereaper rules with a cute Khorne for Nurgle switch) and Tower of Skulls (in Progress) then we've made it to my second (of 3) hand.

Sparky is trying to be cute and turn an inbreeding joke around on me. Not trying very hard and failing miserably, but trying.

So the first person to react to the OP's title (provocative as it is) and igniting another childish 40k Vs Fantasy argument, is actually doing so on the basis that one game is full of children?

Since you're asking a rhetorical question. I'll give you the rhetorical answer you've already settled on.
"Yes - One game. No More, no less."

erm, yeh.
The point was you were dismissing the game on the basis that it's popular with children while partaking and starting a childish argument yourself.
