The polls a bit GW focused, is that intentional? If not you need to include many more options!

There's no Warmachine, which seems a bit biased, but it doesn't affect my answer which remains not on the list.

Necromunda, baby. If we're counting BFG, I reckon we should be counting that.

Probably Warmachine, despite not having played it in a while. Although I really liked the old Chainmail ruleset.

VOR was probably the best set of rules for a wargame ever published.

My favourite wargame is actually advanced squad leader. It's an amazingly complex tactical game which is balanced. The game is based around play, not about selling models.

My favourite MINIATURES wargame is 40k.

OK, I think I'm gonna get mocked for this, but my absolutely favorite was Mechwarrior Clix. Too bad Wizkids went out of business. Way more fun and lots cheaper then 40k turned out to be.

Hmm, this is a bit like 'what's your favorite movie' or 'what's your favorite album' in that it's very difficult to pick one! So, I will choose a top 3:

- Blood Bowl
- Necromunda
- Space Hulk (1st and 3rd edition)

Not to question your choice (but I am anyway) but in what way is Bloodbowl a wargame? It's a sports game or a board game or a miniatures game, and an excellent one at that. But it's not a wargame

We need more poll options!
-Necromunda
-Epic: Armageddon
-Warmaster
-Flames of War
-Warmachine
-Hordes
-Spartan Games
-Malifaux
-Infinity

The options given are unfairly GW biased.

You play an Eldar fleet don't you?

I personally prefer the game that all of the kids fight about on the internet.

Heavy Gear Blitz! is my favorite. 40k used to be fun, but my real life is frustrating enough. I want my escapism settings to have a little sense of hope.

No one favorite. My "favorite" depends solely on how I feel and what I feel like playing at that time.

for 25/28mm scale...Shockforce/warengine. Its less detailed than 40k, but plays faster. Biggest feature, creation rules. You can use any mini from any manufacturer, and give it the stats and abilities you want.

Space battles...Im all about Full Thrust.

Whats my game?

Ah, but is Bloodbowl a sport or a war? I'm sure plenty of Dwarf and Orc teams would argue for the latter...

(But yes, I should have read the OP more carefully haha... )

In that case
- Necromunda
- BFG
- Flames of War

warmachine for me. It isnt a perfect game but the scale, speed, and tactical options really fir what I'm looking for in a game.
I love some of GW's models and IP but as far as games go they are not even on my radar. If I feel a need for some gaming in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium I'm much more likely to pick up one of fantasy flight's spin off games.
If GW ever buckled down and made a good rules system my wallet would burst into flames in protest.

40k 5th ed as it is the superior game to fantasy. Don't like warmahordes as it's too combo dependent and like playing magic:the gathering.
