My first army was Salamanders. I loved the fluff--I have Kyme's Tome of Fire series because of them. As for the models. I don't know if "love" is the word. I have models from the 1980s to the more recent releases. It was the gameplay however that had my eye wandering. As much as I loved them, I didn't like playing with them as much.

A bit more informed about the game and what I wanted, i did some research. I narrowed it down to the IG (I really liked Mitchell's Ciaphas Cain series and seriously considered creating a Valhallan army), the SoB (then I crunched the numbers and was scared off by how much it would cost), and Orks (the sheer randomness really, really appealed to me). A friend of mine started me off by selling me his Orks (he was going to concentrate on Chaos).

I remember the first time I fielded them. I was completely unprepared and had to keep checking my codex, forgot rules from turn to turn, and I lost, but by Mork (or Gork), I had fun. More fun that I ever had playing my Sallies. That was about two years ago. I've been playing Orks since and it's been a fun and insane ride. With the recent rumors/leaks, I'm looking forward to seeing what 7th brings.
