I was in a Hobby Shop back in 1999 - where i first learned of "Warhammer" - there were people of all ages playing the miniatures game. First thing that came to my mind was "Warcraft". So I struck up conversation with some of the players - intersted in the game, and mentioned how it reminded me of Warcraft.

They didn't know what I was talking about. I was like "computer game(s)...?". Again, no one had a clue. "Do you even own a computer?!?!". No was the answer I got.

I know this is a small sample - but at the time (this was looooooong after Warcraft had become a major hit, years even), Warhammer fans HAD NO FREAKING CLUE. lol
I've played w40k tabletop in the past, do you know how fricking expensive that is?! It's no surprise they didn't own a computer.
