I started outside Warhammer, dabbled in 2e 40k occasionally and only got forced into it when all three of my primary games (BT, Clan War, Warzone) died pretty much simultaneously in the Pokemon Crash and all my friends started in on 3e. Then I left again in 5e when the one army I was really interested in (Sisters) went to absolute shit.

In addition to the other suggestions, Tribal works for the Flower Wars, and Blood and Plunder for fighting Spaniards.

Somehow it feels exactly like a board game despite all the rules being skirmish-oriented. I think a lot of that comes from stuff like models teleporting once the fear gauge is up and manipulating lights. The minis are quite nice despite the price, the mold release washed off easily and the sculpts are more detailed and better-posed than most 3D sculpted stuff.

>which systems would you recommend for nonplayer behaviors?
Brutality Skirmish has a really solid one.
