Yeah, I'd say Wood Elves, with Tomb Kings at a close second.

Welcome!

The army you like the most is the best.

In my case that would mean half of the races lol.

Indeed, the prettiest army. By far the coolest.

Oh, and welcome!

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity lasts forever.

Considering also your duty as a warrior you should not waver. Because there is nothing more auspicious for a warrior than a righteous war.

I'm just starting a High Elf army, purely for the look of the models. My next choice is torn between Tomb Kings and Wood Elves.

4360 points largest playable list without Apoc and growing ~6600 points painted
High Elves - 510 points unpainted

I agree ^

I dont really understand this constant quest for finding the best army. Just play what you like, and find things you enjoy. If it looks cool, then its cool to you.

In the dark recesses of your mind...

Never played the game, but I'd have to give my vote to the Dwarfs. They're stout, like to get drunk, and swing a mean axe, like myself.

DWARVES!
And welcome.
Every fantasy army has its strengths and weaknesses. That being said, the local champ plays some mean lizzardmen.
You can min/max any army for the best odds but the dice and your own moves will decide the game.

I like Lizardmen. And think that we should unite to destroy the filth and fowl disease that call them self Skaven... Thus the plan of the Old Ones.

But when it comes to Fantasy, there is a good list for every team.

Fluff-wise, its hard to deny that chaos (all teams with chaos in their names) are the most fun. I mean c'mon... Interesting demon gods that effect your troops in weird ways... They are the team the people can be really proud to be. Just look at comments on this topic alone.

Model-wise, it's really opinionated. Personally I think all the teams look great save Bretonnia (statues on heads and weird faces). And that's just me.
