I also came in to SM/TL from wargaming. I do NOT play any of the other
GW games. As a side note, I have bought all of them however, mainly for
the figures. Back when WHFB had orks and elves, that was the cheapest
way, on a per figure basis, to get a s**t load of orcs, which I needed
for my AD&D game. I may get the current set of WHFB, again to get the
figures, but, as a set of fantasy or medieval rules, they really lack.
WH40K, on the other hand, sucks. I have it, more because I could (plus
all the codexs) [I must be crazed at times]. The only GW game that I
feel that I could get into playing is Warhamer Quest, which is more like
solo D&D than any thing else. I like E40K because it dosn't feel like
any other GW game, despite the "fluffy linkage" that it has with
WarChedder 40K
