My comic book shop has WarHammer 40K stuff now. I'm tempted to get into it.
Don't listen to all of these fools, 40k is incredible and if you have opponents you should get into it.
I have an Ork Army, a Space Marine Army, and a Tau Army (which is on loan from a friend who got a Megaforce and then couldn't be bothered to paint and assemble everything). I have stared into the abyss, and the abyss has stared into me.
Buy from TheWarStore if you must. At least they'll discount the near-criminal price GW extorts from people who crave its army men. But honestly, I'd recommend Infinity, Malifaux, Heavy Gear Blitz, or Warmachine instead. All cheaper, all more balanced, all from companies who love their players.
Yo, don't buy from retailers. Buy from guys who have massive collections and aren't interested in it any more. They sell at crazy cheap prices. I don't play, but my dad does, and what you call an army he calls a platoon.

This is the best way to go. When some poor fool has a kid and can no longer afford his Space Marine kick, you offer him just enough money to keep his family fed for a week.
Or, if you like the fluff of 40k just do what I do: Play all the computer games, read the fluff, and play different miniatures games. There's a metric crap tonne out there, all of which are great. Personally, I'm waiting for the Dust Tactics tabletop rules to come out, and I'm slowly painting a Firestorm: Armada fleet.

It's a great goddamn game despite its flaws. I'm sure that there are "better" war games out there, but it's hard for anything to match 40k in terms of sheer enjoyability and personality. Really, that's the biggest attraction - the game feels like it has a soul.
Granted, it's a soul full of wretched, horrible hatred for you and your wallet. But hey, it's something.
Unfortunately after reading up on it, I feel like I'd want to play a Tau force mostly, but only because they make the most goddamn sense. Either that or play a space marine force like the Reasonable Marines.

sense.
If you're making sense, you're playing the game wrong.
If I had to play 40k I would try to insist on playing whatever is the biggest trollface faction/army I can. Up to and including mixing sets against the rules.

I always used to play Imperial Guard, and would wage trench warfare against my opponents. It was a surprisingly effective strategy!
EDIT: Except when they spend 2,000 points on a single teleporting Eldar unit. I don't remember what it was, but it destroyed me. That's when I decided to never play against the Eldar.
The rumor mill is turning. Rumors of all a massive Moebius re-release before summer are popping up.
Take all my money, Humanoids. Just take all of it.
EDIT: Just checked. Madwoman of the Sacred Heart is being reprinted in paperback, along with limited-edition first runs of some other stuff, all before the end of February. My dream of a complete Moebius catalog moves toward fruition.

I agree.
The Necron are robot zombies that are a bitch to kill.
Necron are the faction of people who just want to troll other players.

Also worth noting, this is the 5000th random comment in this thread.

Watching people pose in front of Tetsujin-28 for photos is great btw.
