Hi thur,
SO, I was thinking of doing a second( or third if you count the necrons I haven't played with in months ) army, now, this army has to be different.

What do I mean by different? No MEQ across the board, different playstyle then slowly advance and shoot everything to s t, and awesome conversion ideas.

So I have decided on more or less 2 armies, Dark Eldar, or Orkz

Dark Eldar Pros: Different playstyle, awesome miniatures, newest rules, conversion possibilities, mostly good pricing, they're EVIL (I love evil, ever since infamous(Video Game))

Dark Eldar Cons: Not many units imho, a bunch of upgraded ones, I'm average at best so I would more then likely lose...ALOT(It's not about winning or losing, it's about losing so much you question why you still play), I'd be bandwagoning(I started BA like, 4 months before the codex came out, does that count?), Pretty bland generic HQs

And some other bitz and B.O.B.S. ORK TIME!

Ork Pros: LOTS OF LOST OF LOST OF L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-LOTS of conversion possibilities, good kit bashes ( I love conversions, dislike painting, and like playing ), awesome language, more known then DE in terms of strategies, tips, and army lists, favored Xenos race, cool models, Warbosses are good, and Orks are very fun so I would really care if I lose or even win as long as I kill lots of stuff

Ork Cons: Don't like the whole " Lemme show you my booty " look of the boys from behind, expensive but more or less it's gonna cost the same as DE, lots of models to paint, SLIGHTLY old codex ( last codex of 4th right? )

And other stuff as well



So sorry for what may be a Wall'o'Text but if you were to help me decide that would be awesome

So post what YOU guys like and dislike about both armies, that would be (don't say it) e-(don't say it)pic ( darn it, slipped out )

DE have the new codex, and although I haven't seen it yet, I think GW will make up for it by making it OP IMO.
I recommend GREY KNIGHTS!!!

I'd like to play a list with 3 landraiders as much as the next guy but I'd still prefer a non-3rd edition codex(They're 3rd...right?)

New codex coming out feb/march time.

Hmmm...... i think you basically aswered your own question. Orks are a very fun army. I played them and had a blast but what turned me off from them was the enourmous amount of models i had. I would eventually like to finish my armies and with them it seemed impossible.

Yeah, I hate how it's pretty much impossible to make an un-bias decision because ( at least mine) the brain can always find a way to favor something over the other, same thing works for racism, it just depends on how BIG that favor is .
