I've looked at the game from afar, and considered joining in. Haven't actually got started, though. Considered Tyranids or Orkz.

The Necrons have some really cool abilities I like, but the models just don't interest me that much. /=

Well, the Necrons look okay to me, I just hear they're pricey and hard to do right against good players.

I have a bunch of Tau, but I'ver never seriously played.

I'll try to pick it up again once the new Codex comes out (whenever that will be).

I met some people in a small convention of 40K gamers when I was in Hawaii. They were pretty fascinating. I balked a little when I found that the sets went from $600 to $3,000, though. That's got to be testament to the seriousness of some of those players.

They're definitely expensive, but I haven't seen any prices that high. Granted though, to my understanding the miniatures used to be metal, whereas nowadays it's resin or plastic. That probably has something to do with it.

I recall trying to start a game of 40K with a few friends, but it was pretty much impromptu and didn't get anywhere. I do recall adoring all of the grimdarkness, and the worldbuilding was impressive, but I attribute a lot of that game's success to our GM. I must say, it's a great change from the typical D&D, though.

Several of my cousins used to play it, but unfortunately they weren't that serious. They basically got board of the game before I could join.

Honestly, I love the figures so much that I would probably be worth it just for the painting and customizing. I also wouldn't mind just buying up a codex; they're always a fun read. But alas, I don't know anyone to play it with me.
