I was looking into that with some fellow 40k fans. It doesn't look too bad, with the character tier system (for handling power levels) and the mechanics (similar to Shadowrun 4th and onward, with the roll x number of d6s with 4+ being successes), though I pointed out in amusement that the corebook references the Necrons as an opponent over and over but has no Necron enemies statted out. Oops.
You mean the 9th edition Warhammer Fantasy? I hear its decent if you have other players in your area that play it too.
Local club near me tends to have one black guy and like three First Nations players. I think four of our "white" players are actually Hispanic. Maybe if these people actually went to their local shop they'll see just how diverse it actually is.
More to the point, wargaming is a hobby that requires an outlay of resources; time, money, tools, and workspace. Even if you buy your army fully assembled and painted off eBay. It's no fun to introduce someone to a hobby they can't actually enjoy. I'd sooner get a black kid hooked on D&D and other pencil and paper RPGs; it's cheaper.
