I have been with space marines for a while, and I want some variety. Here are some armies I might want.
- Death Guard/ Alpha Legion
-Tyranids, when they come out
-Tau, with a stealth theme
-Necrons with a Green color scheme
My one rule is with the exception of the chaos armies, NO 3+ SAVES!!! Comment on what you think I should start.

Tyranids, though it's spelled "Jormungandr."

Technically Necron have a 3+ save also, but don't let anyone fool you. They are nothing like marines in the way they play and feel. Problem is, 5th edition was not kind to them.

I'd go with Tau if I were you. I'm considering starting my own Tau Crisis Suit army. Stealthy Tau sounds cool though. What is that, Pathfinders and Stealth Suits? Awesome. I love pathfinder snipers. Can't wait to model mine in ghillie suits and camo.

Alpha Legion, because I don't find that there are many Chaos players out there.

The OC-D

Tyranids you should choose

I said Necrons. I konw they got hurt in the 5th (and maybe a new codex will bring the much needed life back in them) But I still think they can be a pretty good/fun army. My nephew plays them and he LOVES the crons. I think its because he likes annoying people with the WBB rule ( and that with the res orb really isnt THAT difficult to understand. PEople just like to bitch about it)

Death Guard,Because nurgle is the shizznit

I said the nids just cause we need more bugs and they are getting a new codex soon so thats pretty win.

I said Alpha Legion out of bias for their background (they're my favourite Chaos Legion), but stealthy Tau is a good second to consider

Wait, does Jormungandr have specific colors? If not, than they will have pink flesh and yellow carapaces. For tau, the will be lack and have alot of stealth suits since I love the models. If I choose Deathguard I will use the forge world bodies and vehicle doors. I have no idea how I would make Alpha Legion look different than normal CSM. Necrons would be dark silver with green details. Now that I have broadend the options, get back to voting. Great comments too.

I would say deathguard if you have the money to do it forgeworld style. My buddy is doing the same thing and waiting til tax season and buying all the upgrades and doors plus dreads. If not then the second would be crons.
