A beginners guide to gameplay part A /1/ q/ who's counting

If by some freak circumstance you stumbled this blog. Get out. I enjoy guests, but I like people who actually care about the game.

The Warhammer 40k world has a variety of races to be played, and half the battle is finding which works for you.
I recommend choosing a race that looks good for you.
There are 2 different off the table types of armies. The kind that are cheap to buy, but don't have a lot of units on the table
And the kind that are more costly, and have a lot more units on the table.

When I say units, I mean wads of people / monsters.

There are 9 general races that can be played, Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Tau, Eldar, Orks, Dark Eldar, Tyranids, Imperial Guard, and Daemons.

Space Marines
Space Marines are the most popular choice when buying because they have a lot of cool looking stuff. they are always painted to have a lot of overpowered people. The reality when choosing this army is that there are few units and they take a lot of work to perfect. Overall, they are overpowered humans.

Chaos Space Marines
They are the evil versions of Space Marines. They are less popular. They also have access to a lot of the Daemons and enjoy their benefits.
