It is hard not to notice the Fantasy stuff at my local GW store, especially given that it seems to be more popular than 40k around here. The problem is, I haven't ever built up enough interest in WFB to actually splurge and start collecting, learning the system, etc.. 8th ed. looks like it might be a good opportunity, especially if the box set is what it is rumored to be.
My question: what are the real defining differences between the two systems and how they play?
I picked up the latest White Dwarf and read the battle report on Empire vs Orcs. The impression I got (maybe just because of these armies) is that much of the game is spent in massive, all-out brawls, or setting armies up to get into those brawls. From a 40k perspective, that would be like making the game centered on the assault phase, with movement and shooting just being the icing.
Give it to me, folks. What's the diff, and would a 40k player be happy with WFB?
