so im having a dilema atm!
im desperate to decide which army i should do next!
ive just finished my 3000 point ogre army painted and based! all sorted and i enjoy playing with it...
im taking a break from 40k but ive got 2 armies for that Deamons of Nurgle and Ravengaurd/Blood angels!

so i need to choose which one to do.
i love theme so here we go..

Brettonia-the theme is an undead fey like green knight army, the idea comes from the GK and is all abot fallen Knights coming to the aid in the forests of Loren, like the green knight but on a big scale! (NO PEASENTS)

Lizardmen- FULLY POWERED HUMAN BASHING SAURUS SWARMING DINO RIPPING saurus army...temple gaurd, saurus, and cold one knights! itll be mega deadly and dino esq! no skinks, no magig just fighty goodness!

Empire-Full Metal Jacket... all based around a gold wizard who traps 200 free people and 15 knights to be at his command as a living breathing army of slave soldiers! (not a statestman army, except one unit of greatsword and knight)

Orcs and goblins-really not sure of possible orc themes so any ideas would be wonderfull please guys!!!!

I have to say, I have never seen brets do anything spectacular (I know some dude got 2nd place in a huge tournament at one point with them) and relying completely on knights I don't believe will work out well for you, especially with the better cooler war machines. Cool theme idea though.

And empire without state troops sounds like i would love to play it with my khorne army. your numbers mean nothing to me, muahahaha! but seriously, unless theres a gimmick that you didnt mention then it may fall short of expectations. Plus nobody will look at your army and really guess what the theme is unless you tell them.

I HATE the lizardmen army, its a good hate but i hate them all the same. Of all your idea i think a full saurus army would be good, great even so long as you can protect it from Magic somehow, the new magic resistance gives ward saves against spells. With no spell casters of your own your opponent will get a few spells off every turn, but if you have enough models it shouldn't matter too much.

I would go with the lizard men, wait, no i wouldn't, but if i were YOU I'd go with the lizard men.

Fair enough, i also like skaven and i already have an ogre army so it would be a big switch, but im having a problem decideing, Eshin, Pestilence or Moulder, i like converting and moulder would be awsome for that but with game play too, what do you think?

You left out the best clan of them all. scryer. I cant remember how to spell it, lol

Do lizardmen ,and especially do this....

Do not paint any of their weapon or armor in metal.
Paint them like its made out of slabs of stone / marble etc etc

My screen name would suggest on what you WILL select.

I have always liked the Black Orc armies for Orcs. Something like:

A warboss is a good tactical leader so he only gets the best of the best for his army or something liek that. Goblin-less armies are still good seeing as how they have lobbas, boar boys, boys, and black orcs at their disposal. Don't really lose to much except spider-riders and fanatics.

For the idea of theme for and Orcs and Goblins army you could use my favorite; a giant 300 model mob of night goblins with about 34 characters and 4 doom divers. Ive played them for about 10 games and only lost one to WoC. (only cuz he got the last spell in the lore of death off) But anyways its a really fun list and with the horde rules and new war machine rules its really effective. And them/fluffwise it works well.
