In Warhammer 40,000 which one is better?

Dawn Of War PC GAME

WARHAMMER 40,000 TABLE TOP:

WARHAMMER 40,000 TABLE TOP:

PRO'S:

- Well painted models look awesome
- You build up a realtionship with your mini-army, as you assemble them, glue them, paint them, and then you send them into battle

CONS:

- Get's boring for most people
- Not much blood
- You need other people to play with you
- REALLY EXSPENSIVE ( $50 for one squad! )

DAWN OF WAR PC:

PRO'S:
- Much More bloooddd!!
- Alot cheaper then tabletop
- Animations

[/b]CONS:[/b]

- You don't build up a realtionship with your troops you just buy them with a virtual currency and send them in battle to die.
- hmmm... still thinking...

So which one do you think is better!??!

While Dawn of War (I, not II) is a great game, if you have the money/time/effort I think tabletop is much more fun and interesting. I however don't have the money or time, so I stick to Dawn of War. My friend does let me paint some of his figurines for him though, and that's my favorite part anyways.

This thread needs to be in the video games section, I think. And I definitely prefer PC over table top.

I don't have room for a big table. I do, however, have room for a computer. So I guess I'd have to go with DoW. However, if I did have a big table, the tabletop game would win.

I have no moneh for tabeltop, I do have the games, and play DoWII often, but I don't know...PC is easier access for most people, and cheaper usually, but tabletop is most likely the best way to play it.

I prefer the books over them both in the end XP.
