This could be fun, these GK's.
I swore I would never play anything Space Marine.. but the old metal GK mini's were just too good to pass up.
I have to convince myself that GK's arent Space Marines.. They just look like space marines.. walk like space marines.. talk like...
dammit.

GK are sorta Space Marines, (correct me if I'm wrong) just without a specific company, and rather opt for purity, despite the ornate things on their armor to sybolize their heraldry. PLUS, none of them have ever fallen to Chaos...
They have Power Armor yes, they look like space marines, yes. But they would gladly shove a NFW up a space marines arse if they believed he was falling to Chaos...

Mattieu~~~~ It's not that eldar are bad, it's that they require a lot of intergration between units. Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

Grey Knights LOOK like space marines,
they have the Stats of Space Marines,
they are Space Marines in the fluff,
but they are not, i repeat NOT, a Space Marine army.
they have a completely different set of tactics, rules, and organization.

well if they are as good as SM, look like SM, and are SM, I think they're SM. SW have a different set of tactics, rules and organisation. They're SM.

I was considering them since I enjoy playing armies that use quality over quantity, but instead just am working on an iron hands biker/mechanized army instead and will wait to get all the ebay goodies when kids start selling their GK

It will be hard to separate the bandwagon people from the ones who collect them for nostalgia. Dont know about the others, but Grey Knights and DE were on my list of things I really wanted to collect, but their bad codexes and dated (in the case of DE) and expensive (in the case of Grey Knights) models made it just not worth the venture.

yep. The only thing that kept me off doing GK right from the start was a lack of funds. But then I had enough money to splash out on them during the summer holidays- I went into GW to buy the codex- and they'd taken them off the shelves and the new codex was on the way, so I waited.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll be sticking with GK when the codex comes out - I've got a pretty decently sized force including 3 LR, but depending on what the codex is like I might just go ahead and sell them. Mostly because I've been getting into Fantasy more and would like to focus more on that, but also because of the whole "LOL NEW ARMY TIME EVERYONE COLLECT." I'll still wait and see first, though.

It's complicated."

If anyone cries cheese when I put my GK on the table, I will soundly thrash them with a good, non cheesy list, OR they will beat me, and I will say "See, no cheese?"
I dread building another land raider tho ;( I hate building land raiders, but they are rather essential to what will be a terminator heavy list.
None the less, I am not flavour of the monthing, I have always wanted GK, but the prices and complete army of metal models and bad codex (underpowered) put me off.

I haven't.
Ipainted about 5 marines in BA, Smurf, IF, RG, Crimson fists.
I went raven guard.
Luckily for me, because of the high noob-to-gamer ratio (about 4:1  ) No-one really cries cheese, because they are so used to it.
We have about 6 12-year-old BA players and about 4 12-year-old SW players. They know nothing about the fluff and go mental on mary-sues and other cheesy units.
no-one bats an eyelid. (Apart from me and a couple of others)
