Orks.
And I'm guessing they'll come in second.
Simply because they are the most interesting in terms of modeling and painting.

You're probably better off waiting a bit. Rumours seem to point to Necrons getting redone late this year.

Well, that means the current codex won't be out for long, which means if the new one sucks and the rules are messed up, you can play the old one. Plus, you can have your minis assembled and painted and be familiar with the army before than.

Chaos Space Marines for me- in particular Plague Marines. I bought a Forge World army of them, and haven't regretted it yet!

"I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought, giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I am capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think, and they still love me. And I’ve concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is me." -Adam Savage

If I won lotto 649, first I'd have Matt Ward fired, then I'd buy myself an Imperator, then I'd buy a gakload, no,no TEN gakloads of reavers from forgeworld, and have someone paint them for me. Just so that I could walk into my FLGS and fill the ENTIRE table with titans. That'd be awesome.

My main army is Pre-Heresy world eaters
- they most certainly aren't vanilla marines
- they also aren't chaos marines (yet)
- I use the BA ruleset, but they most certainly aren't Blood Angels either.

Any chance of adding another option, perhaps 'Pre-Heresy/Great crusade era force' ? Or even just plain old 'other' ?

I don't really have a main army at the moment, i have 1500-2000 points of Marines, 2000+ points of Necrons, and 2000 points (mostly un-built ). Been using Necrons most recently, so voted them as my 'main' army...
