But the first mini game I was ever introduced to were GW's stuff, and I've always admired their minis...I've just been intimidated by the hurdle of getting armies going, as it doesn't seem as straightforward as 'pick up a starter army box' and play. But I've seen other players doing 40k at the shop, and I know there's some interest in getting Fantasy going, as well. (Not to mention that should I have to move following getting my degree, it would be nice to have another game on hand that seems to be played everywhere, rather than just in pockets. )

So I'm curious about recommendations-which game is better for someone who's only had experience with skirmish games, and possible suggestions on how to start armies based on the ones I'm interested in. WHFB-wise, I've always loved the Lizardmen. 40k, I rather like the look of Grey Knights, Sisters of Battle and Tyranids, although I've heard from other players that Tyranids have been nerfed fairly hard. (On the plus side, lots of them seem easy to come by on Ebay.) Any suggestions would be much welcomed. I've already got a good supply of paints/brushes/primer/glue, at any rate, so that's one thing down.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315553.page GMT Newbie considering getting into GW's stuff 40k is the most popular game, so opponents are easier to find. Its also easier to play, and less tedious to paint.

That being said WHFB is more mentally stimulating, its akin to chess in some ways.


40k = beer and peanuts
WHFB = wine and cheese

so what kind of a guy are you?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315585.page GMT Re:Newbie considering getting into GW's stuff Easier to play and more popular both sound like points in 40k's favor. I honestly enjoy painting, though, so I'm not bothered by needing to do it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315649.page GMT Newbie considering getting into GW's stuff

They're also each individuals. So you can give each of them their own heraldry.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3315880.page GMT Newbie considering getting into GW's stuff

Welcome to Dakka!
As Clthomps said, 40k is probably the most popular of the GW games, so would probably be easier to find a game. Once you've decided on a game just choose whatever army you like the look and feel of most, read some of the background and look at some pics to get a feel for them. It's a lot harder to keep enthusiastic about an army if you only like it because its powerful at the moment. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3316505.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3316505.page GMT Re:Newbie considering getting into GW's stuff

What troop sets would be recommended-one box of daemonhunters and one box of terminators, two of one type or the other, or something completely different? I've poked at the army list forums a little, but most of the lists seem to be made for higher point armies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3321997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3321997.page GMT Newbie considering getting into GW's stuff http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3322823.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396745/3322823.page GMT Re:Newbie considering getting into GW's stuff 40K
