Just curious. I bought a tactical marine squad on eBay (far less than the ridiculous GW prices). All of what you need to play is kind of overwhelming.

No. The expense puts me off.

It's a shame because otherwise it looks really fun.

I wanna do tabletop RPGs at some point. I've done it over skype before but I think doing it with a group of friends would be a lot more fun.

Looking on eBay I found some amazing deals that made the hobby seem much more affordable. I got the $50 tactical marine squad for $22.

ehh

that's still money I wouldn't want to spend on a game that more likely than not I'd play once and then never play again. that said, I do want to get figures at some point just so I can paint my own legions.

yes

It was good fun playing with my brothers but they kept on jacking the prices up and up and up until I just couldn't stomach keeping up with it. Then they started flossing their cheeks with some of the lore and making ayylmao tier armies and rules and it just lost all appeal.

I still play it on occasion, hopefully they simplify the rules a tad soonish, they're getting a bit bloated. Also hoping the lore update for 8th will be actually good.

Going to make a Deathwatch army next I think.

How many Space Marine units would I need to be able to play games? As it stands I have the Tactical Squad that I bought but that's it.

About 1000pts should be enough

Best go down to your local gamestore and ask them about it, what you'll need, how often they play etc

played the base Warhammer at a friend's, him and his sons are HUGE army buffs and Modelling buffs and as such warhammer was a natual fit for them. they each have an entire army hand painted and built... they even made a giant table dedicated to the game with faux grass and hills built in.

It's just bad.
And it's stupid.

Elaborate. Personally, while a some of the lore is rather silly, I find the fictional universe as a whole to be pretty neat.

I'm also kind of tired of only having solitary hobbies. Sure, I enjoy collecting 1/6 scale Star Wars figures, but I wouldn't mind having a hobby that involved interacting with others but was still suited to my personal tastes.

I look forward to it. I suppose your faction will be Chaos, because they have soldiers called Noise Marines who make Vaporware.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Never played it myself, but I love the lore.

Well aren't you guys just a blast. I wouldn't be roleplaying anyway, just playing the tabletop game occasionally and painting models.

Never played it myself, but I love the lore.

Similar situation here. I like the lore, and while the fictional universe isn't my favorite (that would be Star Wars) I still like the 40k universe and would like to get into it so I have something else to occupy my time.

I don't want to be Star Warsed out and lose all excitement for the new material coming out, so I thought 40k might be a nice thing to slowly get into and serve as an additional hobby that I could also use to engage with others.

Verb, I wasn't serious. I was settling in after a game of D&D.

Going with Black Templars.

I like Teutonic Knights.

I like space.

Therefore, I love Teutonic Knights in space.

I have 2 friends who are heavily into it. Both Fantasy and 40k. Of course when they talk about it I kinda just go blank in the face, but yeah. I'm into the games and SOME of the lore.

Picked up a Venerable Dreadnought for really cheap, and a second hand Black Templars upgrade pack.

Not the tabletop, that looks superbly boring and uninteresting.

But the lore is pretty neat.

Used to when I was younger and when it was more affordable... It was a really great experience customizing your own army and painting them yourself, then battling against friends. Haven't in years because it takes a lot of time I don't have anymore and money I can't spare
