I really don't get the point of this hatewank of a thread.
It doesn't take much effort to find photos of 40k tables that can land anywhere on the spectrum from "presentable" to "very pretty".

The harsh truth is that very few wargames actually put a focus on /yourdudes/ part of things.
Less still are flexible enough to include a wide array of aesthetics.
And as such 40k/AoS/FB/Munda/Mordheim are still one of the best options available and even then Munda/Mordheim are semi-lacking in terms of full on monsters to play as.
