I have chosen to collect a third army of Warhammer 40k. My choices are as follows Tyranids or Khorne Daemons. I am really having a hard time choosing, so I would would really like help! PLEASE REPLY!

I would suggest nids, since grey knights got so popular and they have nearly everything anti-daemon BUT choose the army you like the best not the one that is stronger or whatever else.

I'd wait till both those armies get new codexs.

Or spend the money on your existing armies.

Khorne deamons with CSM allies to help balance out the weaknesses.

More Feedback Please!

Yeah, if you are going to go deamons, you might want to plan for some Chaos Space Marines for some support. I'll tell you right now, Daemons are a REALLY difficult army to play, generally not recommended for the first army, though ofcourse, if you like em, go for it. In addition, daemons armies that focus only on one Chaos god, like Khorne, generally tend to be fairly weak and onedimentional.

For example, Khorne daemons only do melee, and while they are good at it, they wont go very far against some armies. You CAN do some really powerful Nurgle or Tzeneech armies if you add Chaos Space Marines in the mix and play some very specific choises, but you wont have a lot of options. If you really like the models, go for it, but I figure you should be warned.

Tyranids I think are a better option, they work decently as an army, and since you are not restricting yourself to 1/4 of the unit choices, like you do with Khorne daemons, you'll have a lot of options. Plus they generally are much easier to play than daemons. I would recommend them gameplay wise, if you like the models equally.

Nids. Don't have to deep strike deploy. Nuff said.

I think you should get Tyranids because they have a lot more variety.

If you're going mono Khorne, Tyranids will offer a lot more variety. You'll be spamming one choice per slot basically with a mono god daemon army, outside of HQ's, not counting allies. And even then, it's only one of each slot per 2000pts.

what does spamming mean?

Taking multiple of the same unit/loadout.
