Default Want to start but How?

DOW the pc game got me hooked on warhammer 40k. I now want to start the table top game, however I know little of it. HELP! What would be the best place to buy the pieces for the game? There is a game workshop near me but WAY too expensive, the best prices i've seen are on http://www.theworldofhobbies.com
Before i start buying, would this be the best place to buy it at? Also i want to start off with the Tau or the SM. Who is actually better?

anywere you look there gona be expensive. So if your gona get started prepare to use alot of money till you stop. I would buy my stuff from GW i alrdy do by it from the online store or the one near me.

An open Battlefield is nothing but a death trap-in war any visible target is a casualty no matter how well protected it may be.

I'm from NY in america, to answer someone's question. I rather not go to ebay or something and buy them for others cuz i don't know if they did a good job of painting them.

I would like to buy new models but now pay retail cuz GW seems to be a total rip off. the web site http://www.theworldofhobbies.com/Sea...?CategoryID=77 is about 20% off of GW. I just want to know if anyone bought stuff from them and whether if there would be a better place to buy 40k models

Before you start buying models like crazy youre going to want to decide witch army you want to play. since your intrested in Tau and SM go get there codexes and get together with a friend and play a few games on paper. i started out with nothing more then bits of paper for my first trupes with maps that where writen out with pencel, i went threw almosed 3 difrent races befor i found one i liked ... had i not used paper it would have cost me hundreds just to abanden the army later. when you find a race you like to use then develop a strategy ... you can check online for some good strategies but i went to the games workshop near me and just sat down and talked to the red shirts there. almosed all of them play WH 40k in some fassion and most are more then happy doing shop talk with people. once you got your strategy set up then get yourself a good 200 pt army set up and let it grow and develop from there i started with less then 100 pts of space marines and now ive converted them into nearly a 3000 pt chaos conversion army! just make shure you know what you want befor you get it, so you dont end up with a bunch of models you dont need.

Buy either a basic paint set (which comes with models) or better, the basic rule boxed set.

It comes with two small armies, scenary and rules. Costs about the same as a monoply set, but you'll need paints.

http://www.macragge.com/ for more details.

forget buying the codex's, just search limewire, document search, warhammer 40k, you may need to do a few search for more results but that will sort you out, then once you've decided which army you like get the codex if you want.

SM are a popular starting army cuz of their ease to paint (easy to paint but very very difficult to master). But the boxed set for maccarage would be the way to go because you can play game with it straight out of the box almost (rules armies scenery etc).
