Warhammer 40K players are in a somewhat worse position than Fantasy players - there are a number of games that allow me to dust off, say, a Tomb Kings army, and play.

True to a point, but there are other applicable rulesets. No Limits, Warpath and WarEngine all handle 40k miniatures and sci-fantasy playstyle quite well. The other benefit that 40k players have is that nearly everyone seems to have a 40k army in the closet, so if you're friends want to try an alternate sci-fi game, you just have to get the rules. Lastly WHFB requires a Ton of figures, so the investment is quite high.

All that said, I agree that the subject matter makes it easy to port WHFB miniatures in to any number of generic fantasy games, and you're a bit more likely to find one that has ready made stats reflecting the units in your WHFB army.

Seriously, we just went over this ad nauseum.

People have been complaining about the prices of GW on the internet since there was IRC. Let's take a break from this topic, please.
