I am thinking of adding a new...well kinda a third army. I gots about 2000 points in Tau...reallly..REALLY crappy Tau army as 1.Tau arnt very great if you see how well they generally do stacked up against others and 2.I just do not have a good TAu army.

I also have about...1200-1500 in Orks which I am working on to make much better soon.

So I want an army that will be powerful, Fun to paint, Easy to use..not a Finesse army like Tau and Elder. Something that would be easy to build both fun and powerful army lists and...not cost me a billion dollars to make a good 2500 point list.

Which of these two do you think is a better choice and WHY do you think so?

Space wolves for two reasons.

1. Imperial guard is expensive to build, lots of troops and tanks to buy that cost little points.

2. Space wolves like all marines are easy and forgiving to play with their T4 and 3+ saves, not nearly as much finesse required as playing Tau.

Agree with the first but disgree on the 2nd, !st they have little in the way of range, almost no invuln saves for a cc army, very expensive hqs, and there are no models of some great stuff like the thunderwolf cav so that would require conversion or don't use one of their best options. They're a great army but they don't play like a surf army. They play more like csm. Yes SW are cheaper(maybe) but IG are very powerful all around not just cc. IG can be made cheaper buy doing some online shopping.

Thanks for in advice. I think I will try space wolves after I buy a little more into my Tau and Orks. Maybe I will use Imperial Guard Tanks and the Valks as a modeling thing, You know just have fun and put the model together and maybe in a couple of years I can have a few good vehicles and have my other armies completed. My Tau is almost done....sorta. I still need a couple more vehicles and to complete my Kroot Army..I just need like 2-4 more Hounds and the Three Krootox to complete the full troop in an event that I may ever want to use them. Some more Vehicles and a couple other small things. Orks will take me the longest to complete since I still need 1 more mega nob. A Snikrot, I want stuff like Flash Gits and Badruk and snikrot and commandos and well...pretty much at least 2 full troops of everything Orky!
