...Y'know, I see shit like this out of Ultramarine touchers all the time; and then people wonder why I refuse to fuck with the IP.
Every time I think "hm, this could be fun," I remember what Warhammer fans can be like and immediately go back to "nah."
Too much money to play with the worst dredges of reactionary racist dorks. I'd rather enjoy my free time.
Tabletop games last for hours, too. I can't imagine voluntarily spending the better part of an afternoon like this.
Building and painting the models seems kinda fun, and I'm sure the game is fun with the right people.
Anyone who's main army are Ultramarines is sus.
Tabletop wargames aren't just 40k. 40k is just the largest group. A lot of places will play historical games (like War of the Roses or Napoleonics), small indie games (Gaslands, Turnip28, Trench Crusade), established franchises with a cult following (Battletech, Warmachine, Frostgrave, Confrontation), or internet community projects (Wyrd Wars, Renegade Scout, One Page Rules).
So if you want to get into tabletop games, don't let 40k stop you. If you have friends who you play games with, you can always make forces for two players and play together like you would a boardgame or RPG.
