Well depends on what you looking for. What do you care more about background, game play, if the models are plastic or metal? Do you care if you have a newer updated army or are you ok with older ones?

Wait.. ur sig already shows multiple armies, maybe you should just tell us which armies are left as not to confuse us.

Seeing as I dont know to much about the other armies (besides SM, Necrons and Orks) I cant make an informed suggestion for you.

Looks to me like your choices are Orks or Eldar.

Need details , the more you can tell us , the more accurate our suggestions will be.
A vague request gives a pointless answer.

Start by telling us why you dont like SM , Nid , Necron or Tau

In that case. Orks basicly run like this. Get close, get shootin, get choppin, but always chop if ur options are to shoot or chop, shoot and chop if both can be achieved. always chop first and if it looks like u'll be chopped, run away, then turn around and chop em.

Now lets wait for an Eldar player to post.

Wow that last post was both extremely hard to follow and extremely accurate as to how you use Orks. Though I play SM so you can hate me all you want I love playing them theirs plenty of diversity if you go the SM route. Just don't play Space Wolves I could almost choke on all the cheese from how cheesy they are.

No recommendations of Guard yet? Admittedly they can easily be even more numerous than Tyranids but they are certainly a character of an army. Depending on how you make them they can be remarkably strong in the defense.

Guard are quite good for defence imo. Also have other types of models like vahallens, Mordians and others plus the awesome FW Elysians and Death Korps of Kreig

Well, i would recommend guard but if you don't like painting nids...guard will drive you insane. Plus good lists of guard can get expensive....

I suppose i'd suggest Chaos Space Marines, or at the very least Chaos Demons.

Chaos space marines cause you still have the Smaller unit tactics / model count, easier to paint and react with in games, they are still better armoured then most armies and some are extremly hard to kill (plaguemarines) and they can still be very competative, so not a bad set up for them!

Chaos Demons, because they can be used in both Warhammer and 40k, they have some cool looking models, tactics with them can be challanging and fun, and most average players have a hard time figuring out just exactly how to deal with them. They can be extremely fluffy, to cheesy, to all around crazy, you can run Shooty or Assualty or a good mix, or you can run tough as nails or even Glass cannon, they can really fit just about any play style, which is a bit more then some armys can be said. and you can run small or large groups if you find you enjoy paiting them. Plus Bloodletters are broken! and Flamers of Tzeentch make people cry :O


Just two cents from someone who just threw out some ideas :(

It seems that you are changing your mind thick and thin about what list you wish to play, so really consider your choices before you go and buy any models.
