I know there's going to be someone who says its your preference but what if a new player doesn't care what army they are playing with and just want to know the most effective way/ ways of playing 40k. This post is supposed to get people talking about the ways to play "the birds and the bees" of 40k and is expected to get heated that's alright. I and many other new and veteran wargamers want to know what the best way to win is. Is it holding back and if it is what units are good for letting people to come to them or is it run forward and mosh in the middle and what units are good for that. With your posts list which armies and specific units are good at what and tell why.

This isn't going to be just another army list building post but how and what is to be done with each unit and how the best way to counter it is or turn it against them is. What is the most effective units i the game for countering flyers or how can a horde army fight against another horde army without just throwing in everything or maybe that is the most effective way so that special units can maneuver behind them and cause serious damage.

The best way to play Warhammer 40k is with a pretty girl.

Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.

I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.

EDIT: This thread is ridiculous.

Sig'd this so hard.

On topic: The best way to play is by following the rules I find. No really. You feel way better if you win having been honest as opposed to smudging the dice here and there.
