I am considering of collecting Warhammer or 40k tabletop game, just asking what army are the easiest to paint?
and which one is played more?
Lord_Darkclaw is technically correct that the Necrons are easiest to paint. However, they are also quite difficult to construct.
In the round, the army that is easiest to construct and paint, and which is also by far and away the most popular to play is Space Marines. Because they come in the Assault on Black Reach boxed set, as well as in a popular clip-together expansion box, they are quick and cheap to acquire and assemble. Because most of them are encased entirely in thick armour they are also easy to paint in a single, bold colour (the ones without helmets benefit from a little separate attention, but that’s by-the-by).
Easy painting and effective painting, of course, aren’t always the same thing. But marines are an example in which they can be. From a single base colour (let’s say Ultramarines Blue just for the heck of it), they can be quickly and easily shaded with an application of Army Painter Quick Shade Strong Tone (http://www.thearmypainter.com/product_presentation.php?page=1&ProductgroupId=1). A drybrush of Enchanted Blue will then bring out the highlights effectively, giving you a very quick, very effective-looking army.
Adding chapter markings, company insignia and other details, of course, takes longer. But just from these three, simple steps you have an army that will look at home on any tabletop, leaving you plenty of time to add the bling when you feel inclined.
