Hey, I know I just posted that other thing but if you guys could choose what would you go for SW or AC?
I'm going to a hobby camp in July/June and I need to decide what army I'm gona choose.
By the way I have some converted space wolves, assault and combat squad.
I'm trying to avoid stupid comments.

Thnkx!

Oh yeah rlly wntd add in greyknights.

Normally I would recommend to not have two marine armies. Maybe try Xenos? But if you must, I would go with Space Wolves. They have some cool stuff, and not to mention have some cool models.

And by the way, this is Dakka, where stupid comments are targeted, hunted down, and destroyed by the Modquisition. Don't need to worry about 'em here.

My knee jerk reaction is Astral Claws, but you'll need to purchase the Badab War Imperial Armory books to get the information in them.

A Space Wolves codex would be cheaper. I'm assuming you're in school and in mid teens?

But, if you're parents will shell out the dough for the IA books, they would be fun to play. Also, how Forge-world friendly is your local game store? If you'd be forced to play Astral Claws as codex marines, be sure to factor that into the equation.

The big question is what do you feel like buying, clipping, and painstakingly assembling, shaving, gluing, painting, and highlighting?

If your only concern is winning, just pick the winningest power build.

If your concern is having options, go with the astral claws and use them as counts-as whatever you wants as new and different books come out. Astral Claws counts-as Grey Knights; totally doable.

Just play what you think you'll have the most fun with, however you define fun.

What on earth is hobby camp?

I agree with sourclams.

Make your army Wysiwyg for as many codexes as you want!

First of all, a hobby camp is where you go to ww for a week and you get abattleforce and case it is extremley fun
Second of all would any one agree in me turning treybon into a AC (my spelling maybe not right) he just looks like one.

I have no idea what you just said.

Is this "hobby camp" common in England? Never heard of such a thing in the states. Our camp is more like the movie Meatballs.

Could somebody do a chav or posh guy army where the figures held microphones and walking sticks and whore caps and top hats.

You go to warwalker for a week? Type complete words please, it isn't that hard and you shouldn't assume we know what you're talking about.
But it definitely sounds like fun, and I'd do the Astral Claws myself. Maybe use the wolf codex for them, but I don't like my models looking like everyone else's.

My first response is:

Please type in proper English. Your post made my eyes bleed.
(It's not just a request, board rules require it...). Usage of text or chat shorthand/abbreviations is frowned upon and makes your post even harder to read than is necessary.

In answer:

Go Black Templars.

Grey Knights will be changing in April anyway (and there is no battleforce for them).
Space wolves are played by too many wieners as it is.
Astral claws are just another poser chaos spikey marine army and unless you have a really laid back group, unlikely to be played against much (as many people either loathe the models (or quality of such) or the rules (also of dubious quality).

Go Wolves

Space wolves, so cool but broken..

Never heard of them either but can we please say Britain or the UK?
