A full Dark Eldar Kabal. More importantly, I'd commission a custom game board to represent the decadent-as-hell palace of the Archon. I'm talking inlaid tiles of real jade, solid gold statues to block LOS, a silver cage that contains an actual bird of paradise...

Cast my units in hallmarked solid gold and platinum. Because then its always valuable and weighs so much they never wopbble :-) hmm though moving a gold baneblade may need a strong table!

Of course painted but all you need to strip paint n its bankable, at last a hobby, and a investment in one, and the impiral Aquileia would look well gold as only gold can be.

Infinite Funds you say?

Sisters of Battle. If I am to start an army with unlimited money, I would start the most expensive one.

Note that titans and knights now count as choices for a sister army

Sadly, I would probably die of old age before completing it xD

I'd do a fully mounted Elysian Drop Troop army.
All squads mounted in Valkyries, Vultures for air support, and buggies with the transports.

It might not be the most powerful army, but it's good looking.

If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

Well I have the army I would have chosen, but I would choose Sisters of Battle. It really has been a great army for me, Lots of tourney wins.

But if it was to be a NEW army, I'd choose orks, just because I have played my friends orks and enjoyed it whiler it lasted. they're damn fun if you LIKE hordes.

Nonsense. The Battle Company box is perfect for filling out your ranks of aspect warriors with a large contingent from the Screaming Baldies shrine.

An entire necron army. But not just any Necrons oh no. Top end professional painting is a must, of course, and the army would be big enough to play at least be enough to play massive apocalypse battles. Probably include as many FW units as we can jam in there too, though i'm not all that familiar with what necrons have there.

Now convert each and every model with LEDs.

I'm too lazy to link examples from youtube (not to mention I can't from my terrible mobile device) but you can easily find what I mean there. That would be beyond badass, and hilarious too. Power went out? No problem! You can still see eeeeeeeeverything.

Assuming I also had the time to do and space to store it, I'd build my Ork force to a similar level as what Titan Legion Ork forces were like on the table - the equivalent of at least 4 Clans (each being a fully stocked FOC), a Mega Gargant, Gargant Big Mob, Mekboy Gargant, Stompa Mobs and all of the various kinds of attendant tank/gunwagon squadrons, superheavies & other extras that'd go with it.

But that'd probably involve doing nothing else for the rest of my life, so it's pipedream city.
