First of all, welcome to the addiction. I can say 100% that getting into an infinity army based upon purely looks has no drawbacks at all. In essence all the armies can do everything well (sectorials is another story), and the difference on how well they can do it is really based on YOUR playstyle rather then anything in the army.

As an example I play Nomads and I personally like a hybrid of remotes and HMG/basic camo or Remote heavy. I have 2 friends that play Nomads that one loves camo sniper and Sin Eater sniper heavy and another that likes TO: Camo and piles of hackers. Completely different playstyles and yet ever single one is completely viable and competitve.

The number of a type of Unit you can take is limited by it's AVA (availability). So example I can take 2 Intruders in a basic Nomad list but I can take 4 Securitate. You can take as many as you have availability of anything available to your faction.

So if for example you though the new Hexa Sniper looked badarse...
