Online game to learn Warhammer FB or 40K?

[Tim 121RVC]

Are there any online (browser)games to learn playing WH FB or 40K, as it is played in the shops? I mean, let's say you want to play/learn WH but there's nobody or no shop nearby where you could practice. Is there any place you could do this online?
All I got from Google is the WH 40K game, but that's an RTS.

There have been several computer/video games over the years within the Warhammer franchise, from RTS to FPS. None of them really approach the way the tabletop game plays though.

I can't think of any online games, but YOU TUBE has a ton of 'intro' and how to videos on such topics.

This looks like a large gap in the market....I wonder why GW didn't think of this?

what's the point? if you have no one to learn from, you have no-one to play with!

It would mean someone could turn up as a beginner without looking like a complete and utter dipstick...

Yes you could slot into a game and have an idea how to play. Also you can use your new found knowledge to help recruit your friends into playing!

You could try Vassal. Some of the guys i my group use it for Warmachine and they like it for practicing new list builds. IIRC they have 40K but not WFB.

Yeah, but the result would be full of air bubbles, mold bits, and melt in the sun.
