Well it seems my comms-link has recieved your message, lol, welcome to the dakkoids mate.
As a tip, just go with the force who grabs your attention, no matter how they play or their rules, just what ever picks your feel.

Would it be the backstory of the race, the appearance or the different styles of play that would make you go for an army, just read the backgrounds on the GW website, they'll also have tactica on how the army plays best and go through the galleries on here to check out the armies and im sure one will catch your attention, happy hunting.

 Somewhere close to 25'000pts

Welcome to Dakka!
Be sure to read the Forum Rules and check out the Gallery for inspiration!
And don’t hesitate to send a Private Message to myself or any of the other moderators whom you see logged on if you have any questions or problems.
The most important thing in choosing an army is to get one you really love the look & feel of. You can win games with any of them, but it's going to take work and practice. You can paint any of them, but again it's going to take work and practice. If you love the look and feel of the army, that'll give you motivation to invest the effort and keep at it.

Welcome to Dakka!
I say look at all the armies available via the GW website, then pick the one that grabs your interest the most. I did this with IG back at the start of 4th edition and have never regretted it.

Depends man. Are you playing just to be competitive? Read up on the way each on plays and the styles it lends itself to. Is it the look of the massed army on the tabletop that gets you? Check out the models available for each one. I'm big into background myself, so if this would influence your choice, theres a bunch of "fluff" out there, in the rulebook, novels, online.... Good luck man, and welcome! Been playing a few years, but just joined the forum myself today.

Welcome to Dakka! Basically, find an army that you think looks the coolest and stick with it!
Perhaps Necrons won't win any tournaments anytime soon, but they still look pretty awesome.
