I've recently started playing 40k with a friend, and chose the icnonic emo space elves as a starting army. However, I've been contemplating switching to Grey Knights. Now, don't get me wrong, DE are a fantastic army: I definitely enjoy the challenge inherent with them, but I feel that playing an army of close combat focused, power-armored juggernauts would feel a bit more me. Then again, starting a new army only a month after beginning your first one is a bit... stupid, to say the least, but then again: either way, I'll invest a good amount of money into either group, so I might as well switch now. Do you believe it's worth it? Also, are Grey Knights a more or less fun army to play?

First off, I'm playing with a small army. A crappily painted squad of 10 kabs, another of 10 wyches, 3 reavers, and 2 raiders. First off, I'm unhappy with the color scheme that I chose (which I'm redoing almost as we speak), I'm playing with a fairly small army, and we're only finishing learning the ropes of the game. Once we've played more games, I re-paint the army to a scheme that I think looks good, and I pick us some more minis, I figure I'll start getting more of that "dark eldar reward good strategy" vibe and I'll enjoy the army as a whole more. (Let's face it, our games are very stretched out as we have to look up numerous rules, and I don't enjoy playing DE too much yet as I don't fully understand how they work).

Even though Dark Eldar ARE a great army: they've got good tactical depth and fluff, I feel that the GK are more suited for me. Do you think that changing armies now would be a good decision?

I figure that either way, I'll invest about the same amount of money into either army. But here come the main questions: Can you create a playable GK army for a low price? Despite the fact that you're using very few figures, do you experience a good amount of tactical depth? And can you still play interesting, strategic games with said low amount figures? About how much money would a 1,000 point army cost? Are they fun to play? Are they overplayed? Advice, tips, help, all will be appreciated, thanks!

If you think they "would feel a bit more me" proxy them for a few games and see if you like the playstyle of the GK's and base your decision on that.

You aren't utterly committed yet.. that's to come

Your DE army is small enough that it isn't a crippling problem to switch armies.

Try a few games with the GK If youm like them better then switch and sell on your DE, or keep them and run 2 armies...

Nothing wrong with having more then 1 army either. I have 5 myself. I can change my flavor when ever I feel the need for a change. Just enjoy the game no matter what.
