    GW's worldbuilding is pretty shit, and they only gets away with it because the average geek are honestly poorly read and just didn't know better.

        Horror stories of Warhammer neckbeards are the reason I've been hesitant to get into tabletop wargaming.

        That said, if I do get into tabletop wargaming, it'll be board wargaming rather than the WH40K "You must spend a shitload of money on miniatures and then hours painting them before you can start playing" variety.

            Different strokes for different folks, but making me paint the minis would feel to me like the company's offloading part of the work onto me by selling an unfinished product. If I wanted to paint, I'd take up painting. If I buy a wargame, it's because I want to play the damn game.

          Try Warhammer Total War maybe, that shit is dope and way cheaper than miniatures, and you don't have to interact with neckbeards

      The reboot is the coolest thing they've done IMO, just awesome High-Fantasy, the most neckbeardy of the neckbeards hate it of course.
