Getting into 40k

>>51809098

1d4chan isn't necessarily the best resource for 40k stuff, but the links to individual army pages have some useful tips and tricks. As for how each army plays, you may want to head over to the 40k general (>>51805158) - there's usually a fairly good spread of armies on there so people can speak from experience.

Thanks to Dark Vengeance and Ebay, Dark Angels are probably the cheapest army to collect right now. Marines are also fun and fairly easy to play and paint, so if you like their fluff that's a great place to start.

The fact that you like the designs is the most important part. Most armies can flex a little bit how they play, fast or slow, armored or non, shooting or melee, but how the models look will be where you spend the most time and effort, and why we play this game with miniatures.

Dark Angels have a lot of green, black, bone, and robes. Their main appeal is bikes and plasma guns, or you can play all terminators but those aren't too good at the moment.

Blood Angels are average with no real strong specialties, however, they specialize in tank-melting close range melta weaponry and tons of bloodthirsty close combat attacks using basic weaponry. They have a lot of red, gold, and black in their schemes.

Space Wolves don't have any successor chapters, so if you play them, you are playing THE Space Wolves, or the lost 13th or something like that, meaning a lot of greys or blue greys, and a lot of viking beards, bare heads, wolves, wolf skins, wolf tail decorations, and viking runes. Their strength is quick and strong close combat with a lot of wolves, werewolves, and wolf riders with powerful weaponry. They have unique ice axes, ice claws, and ice ray guns.

Don't. It's full of virgin nerds and the rest are Trump worshiping fascists.

What about the ones who are both?

It's too late. 40k just got sigmar'd. Everything is going tits up from here on out.

Don't forget the retired neckbeard who still has his favorite army in a box in the attic that is now unplayable. He's married, and much more moderate.

I've been out of 40k for a while. Is that true? It seemed to strive from a distance.

>>51811199
He's exaggerating.

I can't look at that image anymore without chuckling.
