40k or fantasy

[genestealer1414]

wondering what i should play more...

[carnogaunt]

Which one is "better" is a matter of opinion. They're similar enough where it's really up to personal preference and there is no clear "better" system judging by the rules (at least for Warhammer and 40k; some people will argue that LotR is better/worse than the other two).

[Psychichobo]

Depends on why you play. Do you play for the look of the models, the fluff, or the tactics and play style? I personally love the look and fluff of fantasy more than most of 40k, but the rules kind bug me too much. And LOTR I didn't like because the fluff wasn't as adaptable as fantasy or 40k and the models in my opinion look.... dull. Though that demon from the Arnor section is mighty fine looking, should steal him and convert him...

Both are good, but since this poll doesn't include the "I like them both equally much" option, I had to answer one: 40K, because that's the only game in which I have an army at the moment

[CylonDorado]

Yeah, I love 40k for the fluff, models, and fun of it. I kind of like the fluff and models for fantasy, and I did just start doing the role play game, which is also fun. Some of my freinds are trying to get me into fantacy, but right now I'm thinking of a second 40k army.

I can't vote, cos I like them all, although The Lord of the Rings isn't nearly as playable as the other two, simply because most people don't turn up to GW with their LOTR collections.

ell, what you should play most is just a matter of what You like the most.
LotR is more of a beginner-game because the rules are quite easy, playing Fantasy is more complicated with rank-bonus, flanking and stuff, and 40k is just plain good.

[flyingspoon]

I prefer fantasy on a fluff basis and i prefer the models but then again i prefer fantasy to sci-fi so while your shooting people with a lascannon and missle launcher i'm turning people into piles of salt

[Biowraith]

Not LOTR gods no. 40k is really for people who like blowing stuff up. Fantacy is much more about tactics, so it all depends on what you like. But is 40k for me.

[niddy]

fantasy, sword
40k, chainsaw

fantasy, bow and arrow
40k, machine gun, las gun whatever

fantasy, catapult
40k, massive guns and cannons of destruction

fantasy, 1+ amour save (wtf!?)
40k, 2+ amour save (ahhhh somthing within reason)

tough choice......

[The Custodian]

Yes 40k is the more BOOM.. I like BOOM

Fanatasy you actually have to use more tactical thoguht for all aspects from movement to how your going to assault someone...

As for the 1+ amour save.... Theres an explanation
IN fantasy even if you get a 1 you still fail the save, thing is in this game you dont get to use your base armour save sometimes. Strenth modifies your armor save depends on what is hitting what so the 1+ means that it wont hurt so much if you get a 2+armor modifier on it...

Fantasy allows for less than 1 armor saves because the strength of the attack modifies your save unlike in 40k. A roll of a 1 fails anyways so its not that big of a deal against a str 3 attack in fantasy a 1+ is the same as a 2+ in 40 k.


I prefer the fluff and tactics of fantasy. I like playing 40k and my friends play it so I do but it seems less tactical IMO, more dice offs. Then again I haven't played too much of this edition of 40k.

I think most of us here on the Tyranid hive may be a bit biased...
