I love 8th edition. Adimitadly Im a HE player, but i have been for a long time. TBH the starter set kinda ruins 8th because it creates so many band waggon newbs, and has like hardly anything, the 40k starter set has plenty for marines and orks to expand their armies, the fantasy has loads for skaven and like 10 models in comparison for HE, i mean u only need so many reavers and sm, i mean reavers are crap. And SM are kinda eclipsed by WL and PG with the 8th magic and shooting.

And for all you magic haters... learn how magic dependant armies felt when in 6th and 7th combat and shooty heavy armies pounded magic armies like HE into dust.
