I play both, with several armies in each. I also play Mordhiem, and necromundea. Used to play epic and Gorkamorka, but no longer do.

Blood Bowl, 40k, Necromunda, Talisman, Battlefleet Gothic...lots of stuff. :D

Anything I say is totally opinion and (knowing my luck) probably completely wrong. Keep this in mind.

I starting playing WFB about 18 years ago ( :o ), but stopped when Warmaster arrived (what a game :D ).

Used to play Rogue Trader, but only got back into 40K when epic died a death ( :cry: ) and they got the rules/minis right (last edition).

I have a huge unpainted Space Marine army which I must do something about. Been meaning to get back into 40k.

Never really liked WFB that much though. Played a couple of games and just wasn't caught by it.

I play both, as well as Mordheim and Gorkamorka (sometimes). I gave a try to LOTR, but I prefer the RPG (although the miniatures look greatm, so we use them when playing the RPG. Merry really looks like my Hobbit warrior!).

I play warhammer almost every week, and epic maybe once a month. I fit bloodbowl in when i can, mostly at uni but it is my primary 'love' as far as wargamming is concerned

i have also played and/or purchased the boxed set for:
Necromunda
BFG
Warmaster
40k
Mordheim

i consider myself a little bit of a junkie when it comes to GW products, they all seem to fall by the wayside except for the three mentioned. I seem to have my own body weight in unpainted stuff.

I've played Warhammer - I don't own any armies but borrowed from friends who had loads. My opinion is that it is a reasonable game, but really lacks any development. You match up two armies and fight, but that's about it. It would be nice if there were a system where an army could develop (much like a BB team does and equally as a RPG character does).

Lets see....

1800-odd points for 40K Guard (not including wargear/ upgrades, etc),
1800-odd points for Fantasy Orcs & Gobs (not including magic and characters),
All the Orlock minis (except the new ones), and a Scavvy box for Necro,
3 (at least) Warbands for Mordheim,
My mate's Warhammer Quest stuff (the game and 3-4 extra Heroes),
One of every official (and 4-5 unofficial) BFG Chaos ships,
Space Crusade & HeroQuest (a couple from the past!).

I think I fit the "GW whore" bill pretty well :lol:

Lucky for me I've been buildin this over the last 10 years or so; I'd hate to try & buy it now :o

Started Warhammer when the eddition came out with the elves and goblins (and cardboard cut outs to stop the goblins getting whopped!). Started with orcs, diversed to CD's but then GW stopped producing them :pissed: Can't go back, can't go back............*sniff*
Never touched the stuff since.

There is also Man O War gathering dust in my attic along with the sea of blood expansion. That is, as they say, another story :oops:

Bet I can 'out-whore' you! :P
Hmmm....WHFR, Space Crusade(with Mission Dreadnought expansion), Heroquest (with 3 expansion packs), Advanced Space Crusade, all three editions of 40K to date (inc additional stuff like both Ork hardbacks, Dark Mil. and the Vehicle rules and Battle Manual and about 1500 points of Orcs; Dark Angels: a complete 100 marine tactical company, plus around 1000 pts of Deathwing and 1000pts of Ravenwing), Necromunda (with additional metal Goliaths and Cawdor boxes); Gorkamorka; complete Skaven, Norse, Dwarf fleets (and all monsters) for Manowar, Space Marine (old epic with both expansions) and Titan Legions with several large armies; Warhammer Quest; Dark Future; and last but not least Bomberz over Da Sulpha River. And now I'm getting that fortnightly LOTR thing as well.
Crap, never realised how much until I listed it all. :o Wish I'd bought shares when GW was floated years back. :(

I have 2 fantasy armies, one large the other VERY large. I also have a Necromunda gang that hasn't seen daylight in a few years...that (and BB of course) is pretty much all the GW I do. No 40k, no Gorkamorka, no Mordheim, no Warmaster, etc etc

I've become a collector of the old GW boardgames. IMO, they're still the games to beat, NOT this recent wave of German board game (which though play well, don't have the polish that GW put out). Anyway, onto the list:

Have:
BB (2nd & 3rd)
Mordheim - Undead WB (soon Averlanders)
Advanced HeroQuest (w/ expansion)
Heroquest (incomplete, as it has been butchered to compliment AHQ, as have two HQ expansions)
Fury of Dracula
Rogue Trooper
Warrior Kinghts
DungeonQuest (w/ both expansions - got all 3 MINT in shrink last year, my pride and joy!)

Had/Sold:
Warmaster (with a fully painted Empire army and an unpainted undead, this is prolly one of my fav GW games, but could find no opponents :( )
Man'o'War, Elf fleet, Monsters, and Sea of Blood (Kick me)
Necromunda, Outlanders, Orlocks
Tyranid Attack
Ultra Marines (don't even know why I included this)
WHFRP

Have played, but don't own:
40K (once, not impressed)
Blockmania (and expansion)
WHQ
Talisman (2nd &3rd)
Space Hulk

Looking to buy/get into:
Dark Future
BFG
(later, for collection - Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, Blood Royale, Warlock of Firetop Mountain, and Chaos Marauders)
