What army do YOU play?

[Leviathan]

This is for all those who play 40K in real life. As the title says, what army do you play?

Me, I'm still trying to decide on my first. It's either going to be Kroot Mercenaries or Minotaurs.


Fire away folks.

[Lord Maugan Ra]

'Nids,Chaos,starting Eldar

what are minotaurs in 40k??

[NightBringer]

been away too long, never really played 40k til now, inventing my own traitor guard/traitor marine army (inc both equal guard and marines, using lost and damed rules and iron warriors rules... basalisk AND hellhound AND lemon russ :evil:)

[Leviathan]

One of the Ill-Fated 21st Foundings. They're rules are in this years chapter approved.
One of THE most vicious SM armies loyal to the Imperium. Something very, very wrong with their gene-seed, their battle rage is much worse than any Space Marine.

I don't want to quote the rules exactly here, but for a small points cost, a little more for multi-wound units, your units get and extra attack in close combat, and those morale and pinning tests? They go right by those automatically. Unfortunatly, if something is in charging range, they must do so, even if they have no hopes of wounding it. An army of Berserkers.

[archon god]

dark eldar

[Cherubael]

I play Dark Angels Marines myself. Unfortunately, their armor seems to have been crafted from a styrofoam composite instead of ceramite... not cool when my friends play Tau and Iron Warriors...

[SPOON!]

SM for a year
Eldar for a year
Tau for 5 mins
ELDAR... Works nicely for me (GO Wraithlord)

[Hive]

Im giving my Tyranid swarm a re-birth ;)

[Master Chief]

I play Eldar.

It would be better if you had put a poll up, FYI. ;)

[Defcon]

Chaos World Eaters. I catch all sorts of stuff about how it's an easy army on the real GW forums, and how it requires no tactics or what-ever. Obviously tactics are not important when your whole army surges straight ahead, but army composition is sort of important when the only thing I have that shoots more than 24" is on heavy weapons which are the first things targetted ;).

Very fun army, and always gratifying when I Blood Frenzy and charge and inform my opponent that 35 Chain axes that make his 2 or 3 + armor save (usually playing Space Marines) a 4+ and 6 power-weapon attacks that get another hit if I roll a 6 (Mmm.. Axe of Khorne) are about to attack his squad.

[rknZ]

Atm slowly building up my Space Wolves army.

[Strybjorn]

I have posted this elsewhere, so I won't go into details. I play three armies, Spaces Wolves (primary), Dark Angels (secondary), Chaos/WorldEaters (fun). I wish to make all of them atleast 2500 points. BUt for my WorldEaters army, it might be more than that, seeing I am gonna shove as many 16-20 man Berserker squads as I can in it. Know what was funny. One time my friend and I played against each other, he took my chaos army, I took my space wolves. He got one berserker in amongst my 6 Long Fangs, and he took down 4 of them! I mean come on! My Wolf Guard Pack Leader had to take him down with his power sword. Sheesh, by the time this one little bastard was done, all I had left was a frickin plasma cannon...which fried itself next turn. Not one of my brighter games. :fight:

[Imperial marine]

none till i get the cash for some 1000 sons chaos space marines

[gladius]

I'm building a daemonhunters army :D

[Deathwing]

At the moment building a Dark Angel army. I hope to have the entire 3rd company one day. Additional to that, there will be numerous units of Ravenwing and Deathwing.

After that I'm thinking about a demonhunters army ( I like the style of the Grey Knights ). Or perhaps an Alienhunters army. Depends on their codex ( I've heared that there is one planned for 2005 ).

[Master Chief]

Yeah, there is a new rulebook and a new codex coming out. I think new Codex for SM, Eldar, Chaos, and Dark Eldar, but I don't know.

[Leviathan]

They're going to be combining Eldar and Dark Eldar, at least they're working on it.

They're moving to the idea that Eldar are on thw whole a dying race, and that it is made up of all sorts of Craftworlds, some good in a sense, some more evil, and the whole range in between. In other words, armies that include both Eldar and Dark Eldar units now.

[ImpLin]

Im starting a Witch hunter army, my gf is starting necron and my best friend is going chaos ^_^

[FeloniousPunk]

At the moment building a Dark Angel army. I hope to have the entire 3rd company one day. Additional to that, there will be numerous units of Ravenwing and Deathwing.



Ah, what a coincidence. :)

I've got a Dark Angels Army, 3rd Company, right now I've built about half of the company total (3 tactical squads, assault squad, devastator squad, etc.), plus 3 Ravenwing land speeders.

I don't have plans to build further though after I finish my Whirlwind and Command Rhino.

I'm currently building a Cadian IG army (180th Cadian Regiment), and I am considering adding some Armageddon Steel Legions (love the World War I look of those guys).

[SilentAssin]

I used to collect imperial guard i got about 25000 point army (alot of figures)

[Hive]

25,000? ;) lol

[CobraCommander]

i played eldar for the longest time, then i stopped because i havent had time.
im starting a thousand sons army and a crimson fist army and once they are done or i have a decent amount of points im going to play again. im also going to get rid of some eldar that i never use. i got about 4000 points and i only play games of 500-2000 points usually.

[NightBringer]

I used to collect imperial guard i got about 25000 point army (alot of figures)


that wouldn't be the one i saw on ebay for 600 pounds? is so thats huuuuge, if not, i'm guessing that would be huuuge

EDIT: ok, the ebay army was 15000 points... and thats huuuge :P

[Random Person]

uhhhhhh. is that like 2 or 3000 guys???

[NDAProphet]

I'm a necron man, myself.

Thinking of starting up with Tau or Eldar for my next army. Then again, I've never really played space marines..

[Farseer]

Ulthwe Eldar and only the Eldar. I dar enot start an mon keigh army :P

[Russian Ninja]

Biel Tan Eldar, Black Legion. Thinking of moving into fantasy.

[orkdom]

Very fun army, and always gratifying when I Blood Frenzy and charge and inform my opponent that 35 Chain axes that make his 2 or 3 + armor save (usually playing Space Marines) a 4+ and 6 power-weapon attacks that get another hit if I roll a 6 (Mmm.. Axe of Khorne) are about to attack his squad.

lol, naive little chaos blokes... try beating 104 attacks w/ choppaz that make YUOR 2+/3+(i also usually play space marines) save a 4+... and 9 power weapon(Mmm..burnaz lol) attacks, and 5 power klaw/fist attacks...ALL AT DOUBLE INITIATIVE IF I CHARGE!!!!!!!!
now then, the look i see on my opponents face when i start asking everyone else in the room if i could "please borrow all of their dice for a sec", THATS funny.
i got myself about 15,000pts of orks.
WWWAAAAAAGGHHH!!!! :)

[Van]

Havent played since the demise of second edition WH40k, so my army values are in 2nd ed. points.


3rd Company UltraMarines- 7000 points

Black Legion/Sons of Horus Chaos Marines- 2500 points

Blood Axe klan Orks- 2500 points

[Rami]

also playing with the 2nd edition with my long time opponents... so never encounter Necrons, witch/demon hunter nor Tau

I play SM or eldar (both 2000 pts army) and I always play vanilla chapter/craftworld lists...(it's the rule in our club) but may change...

There was a long time since we played, but thanks to DoW, there's a rebirth of our club...let's wait for 4th edition to collect a demon hunter army (models are so nice)...

[donut-IG]

IG Catachan Army
10 catachan Green Devils
20 chatachan veterans
2 sentinels
3 deathworld snipers
1 leman Russ Battle tank
1 leman Russ Exterminator
2 Lascannon teams
Colonel "Iron hand" Straken

[emperorex]

i play orks and necrons.
the orks are great because they do many silly thing and they have the power of the waaaag by theyr side :flamer:

[innervision]

I play mainly Black Templars space marines. Purely because im used to play testing fast armies and i like to have an advantage of mobility.
I am looking to make another white scars army (one that i know how to use) and a traitor guard army with the blood pact :D

[Leviathan]

Arg, what the heck was I thinking, I forgot to mention my Fantasy armies. (This thread is open for Fantasy too)


Orcs & Goblins - around 2000 - 2500

Dwarf Slayers - about 2000

[Jono]

I have a 4500pt Ultramarine Army at the moment. I also have a nice selection of Deathwatch marines, but they arn't an army unfortunatly.

EDIT: Innervision, I'm a little confused by your Sig. It says you support the All Blacks, but you live in Australia. For a minute I thought I'd found another NZer on this forum, there arn't many of us...

[Lord Maugan Ra]

In fantasy I play Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings :D

[Random Person]

I do not at the moment but am gonna get an epic space marine army.

I probly wait for july so te newer models come out.

[archon god]

I AM THE ONLY PERSON WITH DARK ELDAR!!!! i rule you all

[Trooper Elijis]

I'm a Sons of Sanguinuis player. In other words I'm a Blood Angels player that is trying to build up his small army of seventeen models to a fifteen hundred point army.

[Lord Kraine]

I've got four army
-Bloodish orkish 1500 pts specialized in assaults (what? oh yes orkz only do that :) ) (old edition, they look too bad now)
-Blood angel 1000 pts (assaaauullt)
-Tyrannides (damn they are not in DoW game :( ). 1000 pts
-Annnd my favourites

Grey knights army (100% pure soldier of the empire) No inquisitor, no imperial guard soldiers, ONLY grey knights.

Grey Knights are the best army of all, unstopable :). i got 2500 Pts

Hope to made them powerfull in DoW, may be they will add one character of them....

[Scarab Leader]

My Necron army kicks much posterior on the field of combat.

All praise to C'Tan for the Ressurection Orb.

[Legate Maximus]

I play Raven Guard, have about 3200 points, working on a complete Chapter, with Thunderhawk eventually. :argh:

Also working on a Daemonhunter army, using both Grey Knights and Imperial Guard.

Scorched Earth Galleries (http://40k.mdy.me.uk/gallery/album19)

Anyone else from Canada??

[eversor]

Tau firepower all the way. i wanna see how much your armies are left by the time they reach my lines. its an effective if a tad boring strategy but it works and works well

[mpjesse363]

you may be shooty eversor but if i deep strike two squads of termies and only take my pred annhialator the number of black templars and there neophytes on your line would be overwhelming and kroot i eat kroot alive lol


muuuuuuaaaahh ha ha ha

[Imperial marine]

kroot burgers with tau fries mmmmmmmmmmm

[Chaos Lord]

i play 4 armys
1) iron warriors
2) Ultra marines (not as much any more...)
3) IG cadians (my biggest army)
4) tau/kroot

[Trooper Elijis]

Then again there is the beauty called orbital strike. Thank the Emperor for the little planes that make the roasty roast. That or you can always use a good ol' Whirlwind to bomb the hell out of them while your men slowly make their way up.

[Ghost Maker]

Well my main armies are those of
1.Eldar exine craftworld
2. SM'S Ghost Makers chapter

and i have some imperial guard,chaos and tau

Also my armies for warhammer are
1.The Undead of Tomb King yatestap
2. The Chaos raiding force of Bayzor Yatesa

for warhamer armies i used my actual name Yates :bandit:

[Gaurdian]

I too play Eldar
Biel-Tan Swordwind-about 17,000pts.
as the name implies, it's mostly gaurdians:D

Also, i have necron, so far it's but a meagre 2,500pts. :(

[CobraCommander]

Anyone else from Canada??
toronto here

[Imperial marine]

i have none but i get nids and SMs for painting

[Ghost_40K]

It Eldar all the way here... For five uears so far.

[BlindProphet]

God bless the fact they're toneing down the eldar in 4th eddition. Not that it matters, all should bow before the inqusitional might of the Witch Hunters or burn.

As for people wondering about the new eldar/dark eldar codex from what i've gathered from talking to GW employee's and reading it is going to be 1 codex. And its going to be a system like the IG doctorines.

(Oh if you didn't realize from the above, I play the Witch Hunters, have a nice exterminus)

[JumpPackBoy!]

Space Wolves- 3 years- 2,500 points ^
World Eaters- 2 years- 1,900 points v
Alaitoc Eldar- 1 year- 1,250 points v

All figures rounded up or down depending on which is closer. ^= up v= down

[FranKY]

I play Space marines and imperal guard, long life for the imperor, long life for the imperium.

[Southpark]

i've got about a 3000pt Black Templar (SM) army and working on a vanilla Ork army

[Lord Maugan Ra]

World Eaters- 2 years- 1,900 points
I'm starting a world eaters army :beer:

[Enazel]

Its more like what army don't i play. In the last 14 years I played pretty much every army around. Nowadays its Eldar, Marines, Alpha Legion, and just starting with a Tau force. But I have own, Orks (in both normal and kult of speed), Tyranids (sold them to someone who loved the older models more than the newer ones, and i wasn't using them), Guard (150 metal figures weigh a lot), Worldeaters, and I sure some others that I have forgetted.

[Sledge]

Chaos... could probably do 7-8,000 depending on options, usually fielded as true classic 2,000pt Khorne army (Berzerkers, Berzerker Champions, Blood Slaughterers, and for Daemon backup Bloodletters and a 'Thirster), 2,000pt Nurgle army, and 2,000pt weak mommy hugging "Chaos United" army. I ask you, what were they smokin' when they came up with "Chaos United"?

Tyranids... no retarded winged Tyrants or Tyrant Guard nonsense in this 3,500 point of termagant horde. Some other std. goodness in there as well, but you need the 60-90 termigants in front of the 20-40 'stealers.

Space Wolves... around 2,500pts worth. My second favorite backstory wise after Khornites.

"Generic" Space Marines (Roman/Grey-Bronze themed)... another 2,500pts

Eldar... another 2,500pts.

IG... A weak 2,000pts, mostly Necromunda gangs as guardsmen.

Sisters... maybe 500pts... will be building into a Witch Hunters force.

Orks... mix of Gorkamorka and classic orks.... 3,000pts worth.

No Dark Eldar (haven't came across a good trade to get me some yet).

Hmm... oh yeah, 2,000pts of pre-codex Necrons (raiders).

So many armies... not sure if I overlooked any. Oh heck, yeah, Tau, probably 2,000pts+ of those as well, but doubt they'll ever be assembled. They're a pack of johnny-come-lately Eldar wannabe's that GW had to release to make up for making a muck of the Eldar's cheese :) :) :) (j/k for those that don't get the joke!)

As for fantassssy.....yesss
The Skaven shall rule you all!!

I really need to convert up my Space Skaven army.

[kais 54]

guard

[Tegadil]

I play Dark Eldar.

As far as Eldar/DE/Harlies going into one codex, I wouldn't buy into it. It has been mentioned as a possiblity (although I can't seem to find the quote), but it was also said (in the same line) that it is a very unlikely one. Eldar will come out (possibly with Harlies) third or fourth in line, DE will come towards the end of the updates.

And as far as 'I heard it from a GW employee/GW Store Manager', remember to take it with a few pounds of salt. GW employees (especially store managers) are notorious for being bad sources of information. I mean, I've heard plenty of unbelievable (and usually untrue) rumours, and more often than not, it starts with 'my store manager told me about this...'.

[JStallion]

I'm new to the warhammer 40k universe and all (not new to rts games though and really lookin forward to DoW), played chaos gate the old comp game way back when and looked around gamesworkshop's web site a lot(mainly because i think the figures look cool and all). But I always thought of getting an army, the biggest reason i havent is because of the lack of others around me that play it.

I have a Q though, is it possible to have a fallen angels chaos army? I mean theres cypher and his fallen angels and all, so a converted dark angel army w/ some chaos stuff on it etc. maybe some demons and all to show just how far theyve fallen. I always thought the idea was pretty cool, if its not even possible though let me know, please dont flame me because as i said, im new to warhammer 40k and was just curious.

[Leviathan]

A Fallen Angel Chaos army is sortof the reason Cypher and the Fallen Angels exist. ;) So yeah.

[NjalStormcall]

Fallen Angels typically regret the they have gone faithless, so most of them would probably avoid the temptations of Chaos or Chaos creatures like Daemons.

I play the Wolves and the Thousand Sons!

[tankcommander]

I play,

Eldar ( my own craftworld) Just thousands of points, enough for two full organisation detachments. Including a phoenix bomber and a scratch built scorpion super heavy grav tank (before forgeworld brought a model out)

Tyranids (own hive), lots of mutants and conversion work, only need 2 carnifexs and all slots filled for a detachment.

Eldar (saim hann) still making this one, have a converted HQ unit on jetbikes, and a converted Nuadhu.

Orks, a few thousand points, lots of wartrukks, many converted orks of various types (many taken from gorkamorka and space crusade)

Double Post

oh and I'd like to mention that I've been playing W40k since it came out in the 80's and it seems as though the recent edition was good when it started but things have just got ridiculous....I remember a time when playing Eldar meant Space Wombles and their Chaotic cousins got scared. And the shootiest army suddenly became the Tau...pah...well in my gaming group it is.

Me bitter? NEVER

[Brigoon]

My army is Ultramarines :)

I know their Vanilla, but being simple is nice in it's owen way. Plus I am very excited about the new Space Marine Codex it is rumored to have some extra good stuff for the ultras in it.

[JStallion]

Has anyone ever seen a Fallen Angel army? How would you go about converting that if you were to make one of your own, take dark angels and add on chaos stuff or try to convert chaos marines into a more fallen angel type of look, or something else? sorry for all the Qs but i'm really thinking about making one, even if it would probably suck since i'd just be getting into the game and trying stuff like that.

--EDIT--

Oh and Njal, where did you find that Cypher and the other fallen regret no longer having a faith? Not calling you a liar but just curious where I can get more info on them.
Does the chaos marine codex include details about making a Fallen Angel army?

[chocolate]

Primarily Lost and the Damned, might by starting Orks. In Epic: Armaggedon I play orks.

[Shifty]

I've played a bunch of armies over the past seven years or so I've been in the hobby. From what I can remember...

Black Templars, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Night Lords, Fabius Bile, Orks, Kroot, IG(all of them). Eldar, Nids, and Necrons.

Hmm...Maybe I should have just said I've played them all...

[Exetus]

26k pts of Space Marines (been collecting since 1990) and including my Armorcast Thunderhawk and Forgeworld Warhound Titan

3k Ulthwe

3k Tau

2.5K Alpha Legion

2.5K Daemonhunters

1.5k IG

[Thalasion]

Where do you keep all those models?

[Exetus]

Why not? It's one hell of an investment. The reason I have the other armies is that it's easy to get bored with one force and they let me have other options to play. Also, my friends who have no armies can use mine, or can augment their current forces with my models and not having an army is never an excuse to not play around me.

Also, some of my models aren't even in the GW archives anymore. I have old inquisitors in termie armor, the original IG models, some original Mk VII beakies. Plus, every year we (my friends and I) play a massive 10k pts per player battle or more if you have it. I simply take up the space of two players and the game takes just about all weekend.

[Lord_Maccarage]

I used to play ultramarines. i was beaten almost every game (i hate biel tann) but i just like all the background of ultras. I stopped for quite a while, i was too busy with other things but now i want to start again. I thought about an imperial guard army from ultramar using valhallans and basing them the same is my marines, but now im interested in an inquisitorial army. i cant really pick wether to be deamon or witch hunters, but im quite tempted by the new battle sisters. by the way, is there any info on an ordo xenos codex (alienhunters)? a deathwatch army would be fun!

[Exetus]

Deathwatch rules are in the Chapter Approved II, I think.

[Fat Bhoy Tim]

Deathwatch rules are in the Chapter Approved II, I think.

Not sure what the number is but it's CA 2003, so it must be 2.

[Lord_Maccarage]

I know rules for deathwatch killteams, I've got that copy of white dwarf. I was just thinking of all the extra deathwatch units possible in an ordo xenos codex. The nice things about using inquisition would be that I could probably use my existing army to provide extra units before I finish painting and buy ing specific units, and i could potentially start a new army using IG once i had enough in my inquisitors retinue.
I've never seen daemon hunters used outside of White dwarf, does anybody have them?

[Exetus]

I have both Daemonhunters and Witchhunters. What would you like to know?

[Lord_Maccarage]

I was just wondering how they play and how difficult they are to collect and use. I'm a reasonably experienced player, but a lot of that experience is my nice blue marines being on the wrong end of starcannnons, reaper launchers and rending claws. I was thinking that a inquisitor army has potential for both the elite troops I've used and the cheaper mass units I've always wanted to gve a try.

[Exetus]

The good think about Daemonhunters or Witch Hunters is that they are easy to start with, simply by allying them to your current army. The DH Inquisitor is a formidable foe with a lot of potential. His retinue is more based around fire support than a WH Inquisitor, but they allow for some great abilities. WH Inquisitors seem to be a bit more oriented for up-close fighting with the Crusader and healer members of the retinue.

Currently I eschew the use of Grey Knights which makes my army a little hard to play but I like the challenge. Instead, I use daemonhosts and allied IG to provide some good fire support (Leman Russ Battle Tank).

What you'll have to get used to is that a pure DH force is pretty small. If you don't use GKs, then you're using Inquisitorial storm troopers as your troops which are good for shooting. Then you have to rely upon your HQs and Elites for most of your close in stuff. But with death-cult assassins, an Eversor and daemonhosts, you can do a good job in close.

If you use allied units, such as Space Marines, you can have a core DH/WH force with powerful troops to help out, which is what I support if you like to use daemonhosts, etc.

And of course you can use Grey Knights. They are expensive but, by and large, they are worth it. I like to use my GK Brother-Captain and his command squad in a Land Raider Prometheus with two squads of GKs in power armor and then another couple as deep striking fast attack with a dreadnought or two tossed into the mix. A GK force is hard to hit from a distance and with their initiative based +2S Nemesis Force Weapons, no slouches in CC either.

It's a powerful but small force. Well balanced and a challenge to use, but worth it, I think. GK's biggest drawback is that aside from the Dread or tanks, they have no true ranged fire support. You can take psycannons or incinerators in your squads but no other heavy weapons.

[Lyphen]

I used to play as the Thousand Sons. Had a few converted squads of them, a squad of Possessed Marines, Tzeentch, 2 sorcerors, a converted Chaos Lord, Agahnim, Dreadnought, the whole deal. But, the painting grew annoying, so I just played with a half-colored, half-plastic grey army with my friends. After a while, it died down, but I'm still very interested in the whole 40K mythos.

[ZarX]

I currently play Tau but im gonna make a Imp. Guard Armored Company. :)

[Ramrod]

my two current armies:

-2500pt Vior'la tau army

-1700pt IG drop troop army


one that i sold:

-5000pt steel legion armoured company

[Lord_Maccarage]

Any opinions on witchhunters? the new models look quite cool, especially the pentient engine and arco-flagellants. Are SoB worh getting?

[Exetus]

I think so. Right now I only have two squads of Sisters and I converted my Witch hunter inquisitor from bitz and other models. I'll be using Arco-flagellants extensively, I think. I may even try a comdined DH/WH force.

[PureChaos]

Chaos, thousand sons.

[BloodThirster]

My army is going to be the Chaos Space marines.
I hope they have my mega Force packet next weak, so that I can really start building my army.

[Dark Watcher]

Haven't played in a year or so, but have separate hosts of space wolves and dark angels. used to love seeing a tyranid players face when i pulled out the long fangs, blood claws and grey hunters. Marine fire power followed by actual ability to fight up close... magic. Throw in the wolfguard and an eversor assassin and you've got mass of teeth and claws nicely package in power armour. :twisted:

[Aajz Solari]

well started playing with space marines , lol and now still playing with space marines :)

yeah raven guard forever

(and with the new codex , there is going to be a rg force commander model released and special rules for him )

cheers

Working on some Ork Speed Freeks.

[Rath Cycle]

I am starting with Eldar. Got the Eldar Codex, but did not got enough money for the rulebook, and I should not get one now cause I heard that there would be a new one soon. So I am studying the Codex, without knowing any rules.

Maybe someone out there that likes to help me with some basic rules?

Greetz,

[sdozer]

Dark Eldar is the way to go dudes.Well at least for me.I creamed my brothers Dark Angels.I think the only challenge will be Orkz and Eldar.
I only have a small skirmishing squad with ten Warriors, one Archon guarded by a six Incubi retinue, and one Talos.

I hate Space Marine Players there is too many of them.


Go with Imperial Gaurd, or Kroot Mercs.

Who the hell are minotaurs

[Di$array]

Tau all the way baby, yeah !!!! :D

[yetanotherplayer]

looks like I picked a great 2 posts to follow up on, BUT:

I play Space Marines. Before I am tarred and/or feathered, let me just say that I actually looked at everything first, and personally liked Space Marines best. That's all I will say. I actually liked Tyranids a bit too, but my greatest rival plays them...

I currently have 1,500 pts., and am going to expand with an attack bike, land speeder squadron, a couple transports, a Predator and Terminators. After I can field an army that can be mixed and matched enough to handle most enemies, I was thinking of collecting some either Imperial Guard, Tyranids or Tau. I tend to prefer a bit more shooty armies though, so probably IG or Tau. Now, which one... I think I'll look at the Codex, special rules, weapons, etc. available for them. I think I'll also ask some veteran players at the local club. And if you don't mind, I'll ask you. What are the pros/cons of each?

[Di$array]

ok one word(apart from those words and thes words)

TAU :D

[Thalasion]

No, go guards there so cool with there hoards of basic troopers with big nasty tanks behind them.

[yetanotherplayer]

I expected that :-D

I must admit, I AM leaning towards Imperial Guard. The thoughts of a half dozen Leman Russ' and a ton of infantry bristling with heavy weaponry is certainly appealing...

Unless the Tau have other inducements besides being orange and in power armor?

[Di$array]

crisis battle suit can wipe out a squad of ig and have a 3+ armor save :D

[Dante]

If you worry that gurads aren't tough (which they need to be...there just so many of them) there are the options to play deamon/witch hunter forces. So now you have your shiny grey knight termies that teleport in fron of some "tau crisis suits" and guess what? they are in crisis! str. 6 power weapon! mwahaha... GO IMPERIALS!

[Cashew]

Chaos. Death to False Emperor!

Okay, here we go!

Dark Eldar, Tau, Orks, Imperial Guard, Witch Hunters, Space Wolves and two Black Templar armies. By the gods I despise Chaos, or more accurately Chaos players, but I'm tempted to start a Lost and the Damned army consisting mainly of traitors and using the allies rules to integrate Chaos Space Marine allies. What can I say? The models offer some good modelling options!
