No, the Ethereal was telling Thule that his purge is pointless since Kronus is Tau territory. Didn't help him though, the Blood Ravens still burned the Tau capital on Kronus to the ground, and filled the Ethereal and his bodyguard full of bolter rounds, or in my case, storm bolter rounds. But thanks for the advice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880238.page GMT New to Warhammer Fantasy
I'd look at the GW site to see what ones you like the look of, then find some Youtube Battle Reports. Go to a gamestore and see if they'll let you have a few demo games..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880644.page GMT New to Warhammer Fantasy

Since I'm not ashamed to be an Imperium (Space Marine) fan, I want an equivalent from Warhammer Fantasy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880662.page GMT Re:New to Warhammer Fantasy
The Ambassador Chronicles:
The Sigmar series(Emperor):
Mark of Damnation:
and many more. Stick to books with the Empire in it if you want an Imperial feel.

There is no Space Marine like Fantasy army. The next closest thing is Empire which is like Guardsmen but the circles of Knights are like Space Marines, the Warrior Priest are like Chaplins. The Wizards act like Librarians. There are some eliteness in the Empire but no way near as close as their Warhammer 40k counterparts the Space Marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880839.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880839.page GMT New to Warhammer Fantasy

Looks like Imperial Guard-style it is then.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880847.page GMT New to Warhammer Fantasy The basic troops do have the garden feel to them too, with the knights being the elite there to lend a punch at the right place, at the right time ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3880850.page GMT Re:New to Warhammer Fantasy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3885694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3885694.page GMT New to Warhammer Fantasy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3888085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428089/3888085.page GMT New to Warhammer Fantasy SM's as a small, tough, elite force that can overcome the enemy through sheer firepower and martial prowess, Warriors of Chaos and Dwrfs also fit the bill.

Very good armour, high leadership, high WS, awesome magic (WoC) /shooting (Dwarfs)...they seem to fit the bill as far as I can see. Obviously, we have to get over the chaos/xeno thing...but they fit as well as Empire IMO.
