Main army?

His Majesties Most Glorious Imperial Guard of course.

After that, however... Iron Within, Iron Without.


Though I've also got some Grey Knights from a couple years back, a small Sisters of Battle army, a Tau army, an Eldar army, and Tyranids.

IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.

The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.

I started with Orks 12 months ago and they are still my main and favourite army. They're fun to play and fun to paint. And it's fun coming up with looted vehicle ideas.

Second favourite would be Necrons, although I am waiting for the new Codex before I expand beyond my 1500pt force of mainly Warriors.

I also have some Space Wolves and regular Space Marines. I like the look of the Space Wolves and i'm only just starting the Space Marines.

Apologies for talking positively about games I enjoy.

They Are kinda of like them, but no they are Storm Crusaders, which are very close to the Black Templars.

I think it would be awesome to start an Angry Marine force, using thier *unique* `Codex`. Yeah they would probably be the greatest CC army.

My awesomeness factor is warring wé my logic as to whether or not it`s worth hundreds of dollars for a joke, but an awesome joke, that could be used as an actual army...

Wow, as of this post the majority (myself included) have Eldar as a main army!

Pretty weird, I don't see many of you Eldar posters often!

Eldar seems to consistently be the most played, despite the learning curve and datedness.

Also, forgot to state my army. Now Death Guard, mainl because I have almost 2000 points of them alone now (which grew from a single squad of PMs) and they totally wiped the floor with my friend's Imperial Guard.

Also, this is still a pretty small poll. Considering the number of options, and that we are only (currently) at around 100 people, its not surprising the poll is skewed. We will need quite a few votes (>300) in order for it to show truly.

Eldar all the way.

Though I played Space Wolves for 16 years until recently

"Khorne is a noble warrior who respects strength and bravery, who takes no joy in destroying the weak, and considers the helpless unworthy of his wrath. It is said that fate will spare any brave warrior who calls upon Khorne's name and pledges his soul to the blood god. It is also said that Khorne's daemons will hunt down and destroy any warrior who betrays his honour by killing a helpless innocent or murdering in cold blood..."

I play both Dark Eldar and Vanilla Marines commonly. I went with Vanilla marines only because they were my first army. heh.

10'000 years ago, Terra was under siege. The Sons of Rogal Dorn stood firm at the gate, never letting an inch slip away so long as we drew breath. We were killed in droves defending the Emperor and his Imperium, and we killed many in turn. We defended the Emperor and his Imperium, and this is what it means to be a Fist

I don't have a "main" army.

I own every army (minus Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Daemons) in the neighbourhood of 2.500 points and up.

But none of them are a "main" army. You see, I codex hop.

I don't necessarily jump to the latest codex, but I certainly jump after 4-6 games. I am kinda like a butterfly that way....I flutter about.

I revived my Tyranids when the codex came out. The same with Dark Eldar, but I didn't feel the need to play neither Space Wolves or Blood Angels, nor Grey Knights now that they are out.

I think I'll use my Orks for the next few games and I feel a Necron-urge creeping up on me.

I'm kind of surprised that Eldar are so popular.

My main army is currently SMs, in the past it has been orks (mostly shelved) followed by sisters (whom I gave to GF). Also have 1750 of daemons, DE, and GKs. Used to have a small guard force to supplement my DH and WH, but sold them to a friend who was starting guard.
