40k has different groups of toys you can play together, to get the proper rules and numbers you must buy a 80 dollar book for a specific "army".

They are on the 6th(?) edition which means they have put out a 6 full sets of 80 dollar books you must buy. They want to release the 7th round of 80 dollar books two years after they released the 6th round.

also maybe you need to spend another 1000 dollars on toys? idk.

you just have to buy the rulebooks

not everyone even bothers tbh its just the colossal shitlords who play "official tournaments" and get really mad if you dont have a perfectly painted army using official paints nad poo poo

best way to play 40k is to get free poo poo from people who quit, have fun making awesome terrain, and download the rule books. if you must paint your models just do a single solid color to tell the pieces apart, added bonus if you play at actual GW stores so you can make people extremely mad

40k is one of those things where you can take it less seriously and its a lot of fun and cheap, but if you want to take it "seriously" youre spending a LOT of money on stuff, a LOT of time getting it together, and hell a lot of time just making sure youre spending enough time and money to keep up with the exact revisions and rules you have to follow to not get DQ'd from tournaments or screamed at by a 32 year old who still lives with his parents so he can put rent money into the game

40k is bad tho, so i can take a better game not seriously and have a better time

warmachine definitely has some cooler models and seems to be a tighter game but it's all steampunk or w/e and tends to attract those types

its sister game hordes has better and cooler models because they have monsters instead of steampunk
