Why no option for specific chapters with codex's E.G. Blood Angels?

**Jumpin Jesus**

My army is a small 1000 point Blood Angels army.

I bassically chose that army before I even knew what they looked like. I havent regretted that decision.

**deathholydeath**

Chaos marines, Chaos Daemons, and Traitor Guard.
So chaos, chaos, and more chaos!

Alot of our cool models are online only dude. Also the store managers seem to direct players to the space marines and the assualt on black reach box set (more ultrasmurfs)

I want YOU to worship Nurgle!

**DemetriDominov**

BT and IG.. had to write in BT because yes they are SM, but they're still BT's...

More death guard!

**Ribon Fox**

Benn colecting and playing the IG for almost,...hang on that can't be right, (counts on fingers)...18 years!? Thats like over half my life! Oh well, back to painting

**ICleadpeople**

5th ed 40k and 8th ed Warhammer pushed me to drop all armies

5 space marine armies ( about $3500 in commissioned painting
2 Tau
3 Eldar
2 Tyranid
2 cultist Chaos marine
Orks
All went to ebay and Bartertown.

**Bloodsurfer**

Blood Angels are my one and only army. LOL.

**Farseer Mael Dannan**

I also play BT. How did BT and DA not make it onto this list?! They are legit codexs!!

**Caminoman**

Tau and BT. Whose idea was it to include Kroot Mercs, Genestealer Cults, Squats, Lost and the Damned, and Adeptus Mechanicus on the list but not BT?! None of those 5 are core armies nor do they even have codices yet you chose to put them up instead of real, viable groups such as BT and DA (even though they are still the same "race" as SM).

**Necron123**

I only collect necrons and plan on nothing else

**Decio**

lol, I'm a bit of a butterfly here.

I voted for: IG (main, 3 contigents), SM (main, 2 contigents), Dark Eldar (interest, update it every half year or so), Eldar (weird thoughts on this, got Warlocks for my birthday so I got the battleforce. never finished assembling), Necrons (cool, new phase) and Tyranids (have wanted these for 2 years, never got around to them) Oh, and CSM (sorta main, haven't finished assembling)

Bleh.

Oh, and none of these contigents are above 2500 points. Only if they are mixed, or allied

**TheFarseer**

Eldar, all the way for me, loved them from the star. I can't wait for a new codex

**BrotherVord**

The bulk of my army is a big force of Black Templar Space Marines (That I play as C:SM because the Black Templars are so gimped)

I also own a large detachment of Word Bearer Chaos Space Marines (a ton of foot soldiers, but no vehicles except for the Hellbrute)

I've also got what amounts to a full necron army minus the appropriate number of troops, I have everything else though

Then I have miscellaneous Imperial Guard, Tyranid, and Orks that I purchased because they looked cool and I needed them for my Deathwatch RP that I run

**WaaaaghLord**

Chaos Daemons, CSM, Orks, a bit of a 'stealer cult.
Starting on an Exodite Eldar army soon though.

**alanmckenzie**

Not a bad spread. Not as marine heavy as I'd thought it might be. Yes, I'm space marines.

**cox.dan2**

Ork, Eldar, SM, IG, and Chaos for collecting

But Orks for most games in terms of playing

**SneakyMek**

I'm currently working on collecting Orks, Chaos (Alpha legion). Space marines (Mantis warriors&Lamenters). It's a lot of diffrent races and armies i know but it prevents me from going bored with just painting one army/race all the time.

**Valhalla130**

I started with IG, I'll end with IG, but I'm also working on an Imperial Fists bike army and a tyrannid army. I also have a few Chaos space marine models and want to expand that one day into a full Tzeentch-lovin' warband.

**Fervor**

Only Space Marines for the moment but I would consider picking up Sisters of Battle in the future, provided GW releases some plastic models for them.

**angel of ecstasy**

I don't play 40k, but I do collect some Imperial Guard metals and I plan on collecting some Grey Knights henchmen as well. But I'm a Finecast virgin, and I'm not sure if I'm quite ready yet.

**Valhalla130**

I wouldn't mind an update to the original Guard models. I think that would be pretty neat.

**PredaKhaine**

Eldar, Wolves, Chaos, Daemons.

Eldar & wolves since 2nd ed, Chaos and daemons since 4th.

Need a bigger cupboard since 5th.

**Trondheim**

I have added a few more armeis, Elda and restarted my Blood Pact

**Calgar's messenger**

Blood Angels

**blood guard26**

I started with ultramarines, but changed to blood angels (10,000 ponts) relatively quickly, I have also got orks (5,000) chaos marines, (3,500) and am starting on tyranids.
