Is Warhammer 40k right for me?

After years of playing MMO games and no real life interactions. I decided to try something different. After researching Warhamer 40K its exactly what im looking for. But the problem is how much is it going to cost. Evan a decent army is pricey. I don’t want to make a large purchase and find out its not for me. Is there like a hand-me-down armies i can buy at discount?
sacrafice the size of my army for higher firepower. I could build an army around a Baneblade

Greetings,
Warhammer 40k is a good game but is not perfect. The price being a huge negative factor. I would buy the 5th edition starter set and see what you think. It is a good deal in my opinion. You get some Space Marines and Orks. Also, a mini version of the rulebook (it has all the rules they just removed all the backstory from it)

I purchase most of my army from ebay. You can sometimes find a good deal. Do you know what army you want to play? If so you may want to page through that armies codex (army rule book) and see what you think.

Start out small. You dont need to have a grand army to start off with. Start off with 500 points. An HQ and two troop choices. Then after you get the hand of that start adding thinks little bit at a time.

Also see if you an find a group that plays. They most likely wont mind running a demo game for you using their models.
