Pouncey- I have to disagree. The inquisitions "evil in the name of good" theme is the main thing that draws me to the =I=

S'fine. We each have our own preferences. ^_^

Baneblades are nukes that go off in the first turn killing their comrades

Mine is a self-built theme, fluff and all.

If I was gonna pick an existent theme, I'd do Word Bearers or Iron Warriors. Iron Warriors just because they have badass cyber parts. But Word Bearers are awesome, imo.

If you're trying to pick an army, shop around for a big force, and experiment with other armies. Find people that play other armies and fight them, you'll learn TONS more than by reading anything. I traded one WHFB army for two 40k armies, and haven't looked back. And I love almost every army, just not any type of Eldar. Not my cup o tea,.

**Dunwich**

Vindicare is certainly the most effective, in terms of looks though I think the Eversor assassin is the epitome of badss. The one assassin I actually own is a Callidus assassin from back when they used to go with Space Marines.
edit: all assassins are pretty badass.

I'm the same, I love any army minus the nid's. They're just too alien for me

Vindicares are the ones that are like sternguard on speed right?

Creed died the explosion.

And Vindicares are the snipers from which is fired pure and raw awesomeness

Started with Tau after coming from DoW: Dark Crusade because of they were the king of shooting in their heyday.

Now I'm keeping myself busy with and Elysian AirCav until the Tau get updated. Gotta love fast, hard hitting shooting, whether imperial or xenos.

**TheAngrySquig**

I would recommend taking a look at Dark Eldar, fast hard-hitting shooting is kind of our thing

**acekevin8412**

True, but I'd like a little bit more durability in terms of infantry and vehicles.

**TheAngrySquig**

Haha, if theirs one thing we don't have, it's toughness or durability

**Movac**

Codex Armageddon was the first 40k book I ever owned before even getting any models, I absolutely had to play Black Templars after reading through it.

**TheAngrySquig**

There is an armageddon codex? Is that in an IA?

**Sparks_Havelock**

3rd edition supplement. It's to do with the 3rd War for Armageddon.

**Lord Chiasson**

I was going towards Blood Angels and Space Wolves, but then I read more World Eater fluff and it had me. Gladiator Brezekers running into battle and killing everything and there rage driving them on, thats win win win for me

**StoneRaizer**

When I started playing earlier this year I was attracted to four armies - Grey Knights, Space Wolves, Imperial Guard, Orks. Grey Knights because I thought the models looked cool, but when I discovered they liked using a lot of psychic attacks I quickly closed the book. Imperial Guard looked cool as well, but another guy in the group played them and I wanted to be unique. Same reason for Orks; there were a few Ork armies in my gaming group. I went with Space Wolves for the fluff, conversion opportunities and because nobody in the group had a Wolves army.

**TheAngrySquig**

Thats my main problem with Orkz as well, too many players. This is NOT to be taken as I would never do them, but I'm slightly hesitant to.

**NL_Cirrus**

I choose my army first on looks then on fluff. Although Dawn of War: Dark Crusade got me into Warhammer to begin with.

**azazel the cat**

Necrons...

...Unusual? Check.
...Impossible for find anyone else playing them? Check.
...Glowy green rods? HELL YES SIGN ME UP!

**Godric**

Was given an old Box of 3rd edition Orks last year abouts. Enjoyed the style of play.

What type of Orks? Speed Freeks, Kan Wall, Green Tide? Orks have a lot of playstyles

**DickBandit**

Tau

Giant robots with tons of shield drones.

**Godric**

Well It was sorta truck rush list

**Da Kommizzar**

Well I chose Imperial Guard (well the codex and a x20 kit) and only really read the codex for fluff fun. Then 3 years later (I get serious) and Purchase some Ork Boyz because 1) Orkz are hilarious 2) they have amazing conversion opprotunities 3) they are green and green is best 4) their fluf is killer to read 5) They are a great change of pace from my roguish sneaky style that I use in all other games...like DnD or Elder Scrolls or GURPS or Aftermath! or Thieves World or anything like that...

**Wardragoon**

I chose necrons due to their look and their ability to teleport around the battlefield.

**whrextheimpaler**

Daemons were my first army, I chose daemons because they were the only thing that wasn't being played between all of my friends looking through the codex i loved the fluff and chaotic hate i was like eff yes

my style of army lol, everyone told me how much they suck and blah blah blah needless to say my daemons have yet to lose

course i havent played the new DE or GK yet lol

**Hillbilly**

I didn't think at all. all i did was play the video game (DoW) then chose the army i felt comfortable with

**Tiarna Fuilteach**

Picked Daemonhunters based on the picture on the front of the old codex of an Inquisitor on a pile of skulls with a thunder hammer
