So its that time again. I started out the hobby in 40k but converted to fantasy very quickly as it seemed more tactical and more of a thinking game then how i viewed 40k at the time as i roll more dice than you i win. So with that said i play CSM but im looking for a new army to start. Something not too hordy as i play night gobbos for fantasy although i do love the greenskins. So with that said could all of you great dakkaites out there give me some ideas about why i should play said other armies? Thanks and much apprieciated.

Also littlenibbler Orks aren't about armour saves.
Orks are about having too many models on the table, and wasting the other guy's time with your movement phase.
Orks are about having the toughest units on the table.
Orks are about not caring about how many bodies are left in a long winding trail until the squad is down to less than a third its starting strength.
Orks are about rolling more dice then you can count without the aid of a calculator or a pen and paper.
Orks are about having totally fething insane characters tearing gak down like Doc Grotsnik, Ghazghkull or Snikrot.
Orks are about being too fething awesome to die...

Orks are one of if not the most fun to play. Cool rules that are comical for you and your opponent. They are also loud, obnoxious and mean, everything your not supposed to be in society. If you play mechanized or kult of speed its not too hordy, but your still going to outnumber most opponents.

Orks are unavoidably in the quantity side of the spectrum.
That said if you're really not interested in doing hordes, don't try to run elitist Orks, other than the Biker Nobz it's not viable, and even with Biker Nobz everyone's heard the news, so don't expect them to be the auto-win they used to be.

I play CSM and Necrons since you already have the former I'll go ahead and say necrons. They aren't very competitive but they aren't a horde army.

15 Lootas eat anything except for AV13, which is doable, but not the best use of them. AV14 is pretty much the best way to beat them.

We can't really tell you what to start up. We have our own interests in 40k. Go through the armies at the GW website and then ask more specific questions later.
If you have gobbos in WHFB and chaos in 40k then you might want to try something different to those. If you're after a smaller type army then Eldar or Imp Guard with lots of tanks maybe?
Edit: Just a thought. I would move to Warmachine or some other game not part of GW if I already had a WHFB and 40k army. Thats just me though.
