At the moment i am torn between high elves and lizard men but i cant help but thinking that if i start one i will find out a different army would suit me better.

I want some thing that is good for starting fantasy but not something you see everyday.

I dunno man, I recommend getting into 2-3 so you can have some variety. For example I run 3, Dwarfs (Warmachines, Shooty, Anti Magic and Solid Close Combat), Beastmen (Magic and Close Combat Heavy) and Skaven (All Around Fun). My best recommendation is play or watch some games, maybe see if a friend will let you try an army out or use theirs to proxy. Also get the army that appeals to you based on the models and the background and culture. My first army was Ogres, I love them being a fat arse myself, but after playing some games I'd wake up screaming at night "48 PTS FOR WEAPON SKILL 3!!!!"
