What non-GW game to choose?

Good advise guys, I do like the look of the WarMachine models, might have to give that a go

I would throw in votes for Malifaux & Dystopian Wars.

If you are really keen on historical, I can recommend WAB. The rules would be really easy to pick up as your already familiar with much of the basics from the GW games and there are a wealth of supplements
so gaming more or less any setting should be possible.

Forgot to add-with WAB it would be perfectly possible to use your collection in Black Powder/Hail Caesar as well, which is always nice!

I got into Battletech a year ago, and I'm absolutely loving it. The game is quite different from Warhammer and its ilk, focusing on battles between a handful of units on each side.
And it is also one of the most "complete" games I've ever played. There are rules for ground warfare (mechs, tanks, infantry, other vehicles), air combat, sea combat & space combat, and some rules on how they interact with each other. You can even combine it with the RPG that takes place in the same setting, and allow characters from your RPG campaign to participate in larger battles, piloting their own crafts.
Compared to warhammer, it is rather rules-heavy and detailed, which might be an issue for some people. The cost of entry is low though, with the 25th anniversary starter box giving you plenty of models.

I just bought my first Flames of War platoon (British 6th Airborne, the Red Devils) and am very much looking forward to getting into it!

Due to ordering a birthday present for my sister over Amazon I gave in and ordered Tomorrow's War. Should be good though.
