Hi guys, I'm new to war gaming and would like to start a WH40K army.
I'd like an army with some strategy to it rather than a straight forward point and kill army.
Any suggestion
(btw, I dont like SoB, Tau or Nids because my friend will be playing them)

Any army can be used as a point and kill army but it takes a good commander to use strategy. So any army can use strategy. In fact the tyranids are probably the most strategic army as they change tactics to fit their enemy.

I have the dark vengeance set, but I dont wanna play dark angels. I really enjoy blood angels, space wolves, and eldar, but am also considering chaos. I want to start out with 500 points but am on a tight budget.

Thanks, Jawesome

Well in that case, do what you think looks best ! And welcome! I myself love strategic armies versus horde armies. I feel like they have more flexibility.

On a tight budget= don't go for chaos

Space wolves are alright for pricing until you get to fast attack

eldar are good value for money
