I wanted to play WH Fantasy because I always preferred medieval fantasy to sci-fi. But all my friends wanted to play or were playing 40K.
I wanted to play as Eldar or Chaos, but my friends had a bunch of regular Space Marines they got w/ paint sets or something and gave to me for cheap.
Well, I had infantry, but to actually have a competitive/functional army, I needed tanks. And heavy weapons units. And assault troops. And terminators.
And that's the story of how I ended up spending like $500 on an army I was only mildly interested in, in a game I was only mildly interested in.
Still got said Space Marine army in storage, haven't touch it since I was a teenager, lol

Yeah I can see stuff like that happening a lot.

One big problem 40k has is there isn't a clear cut "This army plays like this" and so I don't think I know many people who still play they army they started with.

I started with Tau because I am a whore for robots, but they kinda fell off with me.
