Just to be clear I wasn't knocking 40k, as I say I play the game, it's still fun and has some lovely models and the rules are pretty good.  I just don't find it as tactically challenging as I do fantasy where the movement system (combined with my m3 army) means I have to think a lot more about how I move units.  The one similarity between the two is that deployment is the key phase.

ANyways on WD, bought one issue in the last 10 years, it was the one with the spacehulk review in i and the fantasy game between the two bens, it was ok but wouldn't buy it regularly.  The best thing in there tends to be the painting articles now they've gone properly in depth with them.

I buy DW from time to time and always seem to find something in it I like. I never really seem to get on with the painting articles (I try them and the result never seems to be the same as in the pretty pictures) but the modeling articles are really quite good. They were running a little campaign thing in there last time I bought one and it set my mind going for a time. If you're traveling it's a reasonable price for an hour or two's day dreaming type read.

I would like to see a few more how to run a campaign and a few WD presents rules would make it almost a necessary buy.

Interestingly that's pretty much how I feel about WFB, some luvverly models and fluff, but hamstrung by a clunky set of rules (of which the movement phase is the worst part). 

Plus we gots the tanks.
