You were asked – TMP link

Why Should a Player of Historicals Try 40K?

And in the final round of voting:

11% said "all of these reasons"
9% said "you might like it, give it a try"
6% said "plenty of opponents"

It would appear that 55% saw NO reason.

Get back to me when you want reasons for 40K players to try historicals.

Get back to me when you want reasons for 40K players to try historicals.

I think that's already in the poll queue somewhere…

Oh, good. I get to be snarky and rude in the comments there too! 😄👍

Should we divide the labor, John? You can be snarky while I'm rude? Or the other way around would be fine too.

Some of us play Historicals, Not-Historicals, and even 40K (well Rogue Trader and 2nd ed in the past, and Space Hulk anytime). I'm a Player of Miniatures Games.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After you, Alphonse.
No no no no. After you Gaston!

Space Hulk was fun. So was Blood Bowl. But nobody wanted to play with me! 😢

You may as well ask why don't you try Cricket, its as far from 40K as Historic wargaing is! There is no common ground at least as fire as I can see.
