Warhammer 40k

Do you guys think it's worth getting into 40k in Current Year? I've been vaguely interested in playing for over a decade now but my only actual tabletop experience playing it was a demo game of Kill Team 5 years ago.
My favorite subfactions are the Kroot and Death Korps and seems like the Kroot have gotten a decent amount of support this year (even if they still suck according to this thread recently?) and Death Korps are getting some new models next year too so I figure if I'm going to get into the game now is as good a time as any. I've already got a decent painting/modelling setup from when I used to paint/kitbash RPG minis so I won't have to invest in that at least.

Death Korps getting plastic models soon so you could have 2k points of Krieg in plastic no problem.

Plenty of people paint and collect only. Stats thrown around that on average someone who buys 40k will play 1 game a year or something.

You could 3d print cheaper, but if you intend to play at a store somewhere, just buy.

Sounds like you'll take the plunge sooner or later, later will just penalise you with price increases, delaying painting your army and delaying the enjoyment.

Despite what gay doomers will tell you on the online, you can still buy, build, and paint models and have fun doing it. Gw is currently more profitable than ever, same with Warhammer, and 90% of the models are pretty good looking. That might ruffle some of the oldfag's feathers, but ignore them and have fun with your little plastic soldiers. Just recently a lot of people also reccomended books, if you were interested in the lore aspect. I know specifically the book Krieg is pretty alright as an intro to DKoK. Unfortunatelt Tau proper doesnt even have novels, so youre SOL there.

Krieg and Deadmen Walking are both 2 good entries for DKoK.

And as for models you can just build out 2 boxes of the Kill Team for the full range or use a decent alternative 3rd party not DKoK that’s been floating around.

If you're a chud and don't want something wokeified, get into it. Be the change you wish to see in the world, and don't let the wokescolds or doomer grifters tell you otherwise.

The Kroot have been a lot more fleshed out in terms of models available but not really enough to run them in a 2K game. You could play them quite comfortably in a 500 to 1000 point though. As for DKoK you may as well wait a while until the full range comes out next year and play your favorite WW1 enthusiasts

Ah, perfect timing my friend, the most perfect, beautiful army is allegedly being shown off tomorrow.

Yeah but you gotta be good.

Im just accepting that the process is prime, airbrush base majority, base, wash, 1 highlight and call it a day is best for sanity.

They already experienced that with both Pathfinder games and raged about 'em.
 
This is probably going to be an dumb as hell question but fuck it, is there any """based""" non-grifting Warhammer content creator? I want to keep a list of them because it's only a matter of time before more and more Warhammer content creators old and new will shoehorn in troonery, unwanted politicking, and other unwanted nonsense. And since I'm asking this question let me ask another probably dumb as hell question, is there a list of people whose content you would recommend avoiding? Especially "well known" content creators. I have my suspicions of Mr.Bones since he associates with a few troons. I hope Baldermort isn't someone I should avoid...on purpose, I forgot about him for a while now and haven't seen his latest stuff, though he associates with Majorkill (raincheck) so probably.

I'd say yeah, if you can get models for cheap on Ebay or are willing to throw down some money on your future new plastic crack addition and find the "right" kind of autistic group you'll have a great time. If you're already experienced in painting and kitbashing you're already ahead of most 40k fans. The most recent Tau codex IIRC gave the Kroot a subfaction or some shit and you can run a Kroot army...I don't think it's good but you can. Kroot are more "supporting/specialized units" of the entire Tau empire so it's probably better to run a "mostly" Kroot than Tau. I could also be wrong and retarded so please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to be like the other guy on here who got BTFO'd a while back for pretending to know what he was talking about (in fact I haven't seen him since).

You fucking feral baboons are the reason the actual criticisms for the direction GW is taking are treated like jokes. Its got the same airs as the feds lumping flat earthers in with the people that called out MK Ultra, its so egregiously obvious.

Is that Tom McDonald?
Fucking K E K. I only ever heard of him from his Ben Shapiro video. Man I hate "woke" faggotry as much as the next person but Jesus...despite what I wrote on the top of this post you might need to get off the internet for a bit.

Ahhh, Owlcat. God why the fuck do they get the licenses to make Pathfinder CRPGs and Rogue Trader. Hope they don't make a Dark Heresy CRPG...fuck it I'll take it over Larian, especially their character builder.

Rag on the guys ya want, but they actually kept the TTRPG mechanics in the video game form, instead of dumbing it way down. Also, I don't think Dark Heresy is popular enough to adapt into a CRPG.

You're not wrong, and I am grateful for that. Well, parts of it, certain other parts I'm not too keen on. The rest of the game I am not however grateful for. Also was Rogue Trader any popular in the Warhammer community before the CRPG? If it wasn't at all, Dark Heresy would could get a bigger chance, hopefully with someone more competent.

I'd say ye, Rogue Trader def had bigger popularity when it came to the TTRPG crowd Warhammer fans. I think the reason for that you aren't restricted on making a PC like you are in Dark Heresy or DeathWatch for example. In Rogue Trader, you are allowed to play as a Tau, Eldari, Kroot, hell you can even play as an Ork if you wanna. Combined that the adventure itself can be over the top and pulpy or dark and serious mystery.
