How about renegades and heretics? You are not tried it yet.

Son let me tell you the Imperial Guard is looking for a man just like yourself. Why me you ask? Well my boy you seem like an individual that is not afraid to get his hands dirty and lose a few million men to capture the objective! Space Marines? They are sissies in power armor. Eldar? You sneeze and they split in half, and they only come in two flavors, stupid looking skittles or emo. Orks? Ha we will crush their numbers under the treads of our tanks! Tau? Please they can keep their Battle Suits, we get flashlights and flak armor! Tyranids? I thought I stepped on something let me scrape it off the bottom of my boot! The Mechanicum, a Catachan's abs are harder than the steel of there bionocs! Yes sir the Imperial Guard is right for you, sign up and face the enemies of the Emperor head on for his glory!

Eldar? They sneeze 24 S6 shots at you from 36"... They are not weak. Wraithknights will wreck u. They wreck my army all the time.

I feel like you missed the humor.

A loyalist marine force could pair well with your collection of chaos. You could have iconic marine vs chaos marine battles to teach people the game or play if they don't have an army yet, or with them.

And if you make it BA, they're low-tier enough that you can have fun tight games against CSM as long as you don't take helldrakes.

Sell your soul to Tzeentch. Welcome our Daemonic influence brother, embrace immortality and seize ultimate power over reality and unreality. Plus we'll be good mates to your CSM.

Why not support the Emperor and Sanguineous by joining the blood angels (P.S I do blood angels and they are fun)
PP.S blood angels have a painting guide

**Leth**

Chaos IG sounds like the natural next step to me heehehehehe

I can coincide with this notion!

**the_Armyman**

Welcome! You have made a great choice, Real Men join the Guard, Real Soldiers join the Airborne! Any idea what rule set you are planning to run it out of?

**Sidstyler**

Real men join the Guard...but winners join the Tau.

j/k

I did vote for Tau though, just because I always do in these kinda threads. Just because.

**ZergSmasher**

Join the Dark Angels. We've got robes over our power armor, our captains are called company masters, and we have the last jetbike in the Imperium! Help us find the Fallen and force them to repent! If you do, you will have access to the best bikers in the galaxy (yes, Ravenwing are better than White Scars).

**WonderAliceLand**

*puts serious face on*

Blood Angels.... TROLOLOLOL!

All kidding aside, it depends on your personal preference. I find that you can make almost any army competitive, but what really matters is the fun. Do you like smashing down in drop pods, swarming your enemy behind their lines? Get yourself some drop pods and smarines! Do you like Evangelion? Get your suits and play Tau. Do you like tanks? IG is for you! Do you like to lose? Then back to my first suggestion, Blood Angels!

**wuestenfux**

Building next? Frankly, I'd put everything on hold. What armies do you have so far?

**Brennonjw**

anything that allies well with CSM, if your not tired of chaos yet

beyond that, do orcs. everyone loves orcs

**-v10mega**

Well my army is going to be imperial guard, i will most likely go with the airborne, im going to have a couple of valkyries and then a vulture, i might bring some allies for the airborne aspect any ideas? oh and i might be making a list around this so be ready

**Grizzyzz**

keep in mind that GW does have those bargain starter boxes right now... they are $85 each.. off the top of my head.. IG, Tau, Wolves, Nids are all options. Boxes are pretty solid too.

**Dorastus**

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Orks is da biggest and da strongest! Also da Orks gots da best most shooty toys!
