Just wondering, which is more fun: 40K or Fantasy Battle? I'm thinking of starting to play one of them.

fantasy battles.

40k! It is more futuristic, and you can get tanks! However, it depends on if you are more unit or Soldier oriented. In Warhammar Fantasy the Units are Blocks of bases with the gus on them, where as in 40k your guys just have to be within 2" of eachother so can spread out somewhat. Really it is up to you. i personally prefer 40k.

That is a REALLY hard question to answer. Like, insanely hard. I play and greatly enjoy both, and each has it's own perks... I really don';t know if I can legitimately answer that question.

I DO know the Space Marines should be annoying enough to scare ANYONE from playing 40K. Unfortunately, because of their ridiculously overpowered state, most people play them. And thus am I a sad, sad man.

Well, SMurfs are great to start as because as far as money goes, because they are expensive pointswise because of their good stats, so they are the best army to build up fast.

I ask you this because I loved Dawn of War, and am looking to start playing Warhammer 40k, but I know how to play Warhammer FB. I looked it up, and it seems like Space Marines would be the army for me. I did really like the Imperial Guard in DOW though, and they are another choice.

Well, Space marines are easier if you want a big army fast, because they are expensive pointwise. Guard? Don't start them. You need 20 men and a platoon command squad just to have 1 troops choice, and you have to have two in a battle. So don't start out as them.

My friend plays Imperials. I like the AT-ST thingies they have.

God dammit. Another player drawn towards Space Marines and Guard.

Something is horribly wrong with the world today...

Maybe something's just horribly unbalanced with the game.

Dump 40K for Epic, the smaller version that allows the use of bigger stuff. (Oddly) Like Titans, Superheavy Tank Formations and whole companies of tanks and men etc. The rules are far superior IMO. Find out more here.

They even have TAU...

TYRANIDS! And I don't like epic because there are no Nids, and I like 40k better, amd thats all I need.

Plus, the bigger the better.

And FYI, Greenkey, there are still Super-Heavy tanks and ridiculous Titans in normal 40K, so don't worry about them in Epic.

Um... are you sure of your facts?.. have a look at some of mine. Big models means less on table IMO but each to their own I guess.

That's something like 36,000 points of Tyranids.

Battle Report. Some small Tyranid 12,000 points vs IG and Space Marines.
