Let's face it, GW game systems are good but far from exceptional, so if you play without models and therefore without the backstory (because plastic bases have no backstory), then find another game that doesn't involve buying models and painting them.
Fantasy Flights Games and Days of Wonder make fantastic boardgames. You also have complex wargames such as Squad Leader where you do play with cardboard pieces. And of course, videogames of all sorts.
