Hi.
I'm considering maybe trying out the White Scars in Warhammer. The idea of the fast biker type army appeals to me somewhat, but I'm very curious about how well White Scars performs. I know that the game is hard to get into due to expense, so I don't want to spend money on miniatures that are totally outclassed. I don't care very much if I win or lose as long as the game is fun, but I want it to be at least a real game.. and not get steamrolled because of my faction choice.
So what is good about the White Scars? I guess they can just move slightly further than other marines and that's it? Is that weak compared to the other marine factions?
If I were going to start playing, what kind of models should I be looking for? My budget isn't huge, so I can't get the $150 models from the games workshop website.
Is there a better choice for the marines other than White Scars?
