^ Truth. If you decide against that though, play 40k, go with Tyranids, they're the most versatile.

Versatile? All they do is 'Spikey Death'. *Run run run run* *stab* *dies*

They have some ranged units, but that's not the emphasis.

Yeah, but you can modify them out the wazoo. Acid Blood, wings, spikes.

Spiky Burny Death, Spiky Hellish Being Death, Spiky Spiky Death.

Imperial Guard: Run him over, burn him, shoot him, or blow him to tiny bits?

Eh, they don't look as cool. If I had an army, they'd all have cardboard boxes that looked like jet-packs, and be covered in chrome. No guns, just big swords.

We'd lose every battle, but we'd look cool. Thus my justification for using Tyrannids.

[SkunkPunk]

anyone who uses tyranids and tries to make a ranged army is a moron, tyranids are pure melee, a hard army to use but brutal with experience

OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOMGOMGOMOGMOGMOMGOOGMOGOMGOMGOMOG OMG

40k imperial for the win

[Pilgrim]

I play Guard and Feral Orks

First off

Wait on 40k for about 3 weeks for forth Edition to come out, make sure they don't bone it horribly.

Also to start out I'd highly recomend playing Marines. They are the easiest to start up and actually get good with. Guard and Tau are a bit harder.

As to Fantasy

If you want to spend deap money check out Britonians or a Slayer Army. I play Slayers and they are an absolute blast to play!
Empire is also kewl... but with the current emphases on Chaos they are always good (check out the Bestmen... hella fun) Also very soon they'l release Ogre Nation. That's the army I'm waiting for!

I played WarHammer 40000 a bit when my brother and I walked into a Games Workshop without knowing what it was. The guys showed us the basic rules and let us play around against each other on the tables they had set up.

We played for a few months afterwards and had 1000 point armies but one warning, making the scenary is a bitch! and painting takes hard to get good at. Practice on the plastic ones until you're skilled enough for the metal.

Definently go for the imperial, their mortar teams are awesome!

I had someone paint my army for me. I sucked and didnt have the time. Costed like a hundred for em to paint it all. Cheap price considering I had a huge army.

Necrons for 40k. Spray paint metal and paint a green base, and you're done!

Warhammer 40k is great. Be Space Marines though.

[firecrackerNC]

Space Marines are cool but there a bit easy to be.

pick the thing taht can kick the most ass overall, AKA the on that gets very overpowered if your good, and have a big army of em
