While I myself oppose E40K and all it stands for, I think that the deciding
factor will most likely be what are the people you are likely to be playing
with playing?

If you decide to get into E40K - and you have the oportunity to buy the EPIC
2nd Ed box set, you might consider it just for the figures and terrain
(buildings).
