Plague Marines.

I'm gonna hafta go with Plague Marines or Ork Boyz. I love the toughness of the PMs, but you can get sooooooo many nasty troops for so few points with Boyz.

There is no end to my agreements with abaddon276. By Christmas I will have battle company of ph thousand sons. They are very expensive yes but there is no army that is truly effective though nothing completely fails. Tactical squad that outnumbers me by the point allowing amount, a few of my men die many of yours die, I have better range (sort of) due to slow and purposeful. No special characters can truly stand up to them (mainly in combat) as were just as good as tactical marines but fearless and 4++, then the aspiring sorcerer will instant kill you! I admit, lordtyphus has a point with boys, as a fledgling ork collector myself I no there hard but they are about the only troop in the game I truly fear, but none of my friends collect orks, (yet) yay! To conclude, who doesn't like brightly coloured Egyptian-style helmets. For Magnus!!

I won't be foolish enough to proclaim them the best troops choice, but I swear by my Genestealers. Cheap, fast, and deadly in assault.

They don't usually get shot, but whem they do, it makes me sad.

Space Wolves: Grey Hunters- for 215 points a 10 man squad with Wulfen, 2x meltas, and a banner in a Rhino is a steal.

Imperial Guard- Platoons are great for their cost. Mech vets are absurd. 4x special weapons on a cheap BS 4 model that can hide in an AV 12 inexpensive transport=a min maxer's wet dream.

CSM- Plague Marines are great. The durability to small arms fire is absurd. FNP is becoming less and less special though.

Orks- The humble and undercosted Boy changed the dynamic of the game. The reason that armies get troops cheaper started here. The amount of attacks and shots are out of control. 30 models for 200 points???

Dark Eldar- It's a bit early to judge, but all three troop choices seem nice. Wytches for a tarpit, Wracks for an all comers assault, Warriors for poisoned shooting.

Tyrannids- Lots of good choices here. Superguants are really good. One the charge they are hitting MEQ's on a 4+ and wounding on a re-rollable 4+. All for cheap.
