Are people still playing Warhammer 40k? It seems that the majority of people that I know have all moved over to Warmachine and Hordes.

It's making it a pain to sell my Tau army.

IIRC correctly, there was a recent rules update and that always throws WH40K into a tail spin until they recover and find out what is the new uber race and which armies have been violated with the nerf hammer. Give it six months to a year to sort itself out. Personally, I burned out about a year and a half ago when my gaming group moved on to the next new shiny thing.

I haven't played in years, which is why I'm looking at getting rid of my army. I'm considering Warmachine, but I probably won't pick it up.

I quit playing 40k before 4th ed. came out. I had just won a huge tourney series and was burned out.I tried Warmachine but wasn't impressed and hated the setting... and the figs.

I think Warmachine stole some of 40K's thunder, but I still get calls to play. Every time I go to the store I see 40K players... more often than Warmachine.

I actually like the WM setting more than 40k. Just not a big wargamer.

40K is still considerably more popular around here than WM is...unfortunately.

If you're not a big wargamer, but still want to get your Wargame on, why not play something like Mordheim or Necromunda?

Firstly, I'm not familiar with either of those. Secondly, I don't think anyone around here plays them.

I got into 40K because all of my friends at the time were playing. They've all pretty much stopped, which is why I haven't played in forever. And so I'm lamenting the fact that everyone now playing WM makes getting rid of my 40K army harder.

I haven't decided if it's worth spending the money getting into WM yet. I probably won't, as I don't like to assemble and paint figs. Plus I have a lot of other things on my plate atm.

Mordheim and Necromunda are the skirmish level 40K/WFB games.

Both games have free downloads of the rules, and at least Mordie is easy to fill out a warband from either existing Warhammer armies or your FLGS's used fig case.




Necro is gangs, so not exactly 40K skirmish, but close enough. Same rules and guns, just all (for the most part) human.
