Don't let the rules as they are stop you; these things come in cycles, and you likely don't know what playstyle you prefer yet. I bet in the new codex they get some alien allies as well, for more painting fun. Seriously, just go for something you love the lore, minis and feel of. Everything else is secondary.
You're probably right! I am going to wait on the new T'au codex and see, but that new railgun sure does look intense!
I picked up some Sisters today and will head down that rabbit hole for now. Had some store credit at my
LGS and figured why not! Also had a box of 'practice' Sisters in my closet. To me, they will satisfy the Space Marine painting I enjoy but also give me something new (and way less spiky than Death Guard!) The religious imagery was a big plus and after getting some better heads off Etsy I was pretty much sold.
Here we go!
BTW.. Really enjoyed reading all of these responses - Feel free to keep 'em coming, super interesting!
Sisters are such an amazing faction! Not only are the models amazing, they are a blast to play against, and incredibly strong. They are definitely my next army.
My first faction (
40k, I already had a Brettonia army for Fantasy at this time) was easy. I Started Black Templars in 3rd edition with the starter box. I then started Orks. Then I built a Tyranid army. Then I built a smurf army with all the extra models I had from Boxed sets (if it doesn'tfit my Templars army, it gets a blue coat of paint). Then I did the same with Necrons, as I had two Indomitus boxes.
For Xmas, my wife bought me a sizable army of Admech that im currently building.
So what im trying to say is, it doesn't matter what you start with, you'll always be planning your next army. I think I have 23 armies across 6 games (though many are boxed up and put away) yhat I've collected over the last 28 years.
We don't call it plastic crack for nothing.
