So what exactly determines what photos get to appear on the homepage? I've been noticing the same 3 or so individual armies getting featured more or less daily -- these are really cool minis, don't get me wrong, but I like to use the front page as inspiration so it gets rather boring seeing the same type of thing every day.

Is it the same armies, or the exact same pictures? The thing that rotates the images gets stuck sometimes.

Not the same photos, nor do I think it's the same exact models, just the same armies.

Incidentally, none of the ones I'm thinking of are featured today. Dunno if that's someone trying to add some variety, or merely a coincidence.

It randomly picks from high rated images in the gallery, but will not show the same image twice in the same 12 month period. However, if there are lots of images of the same armies, and they are all highly rated, they will get shown which is why things like Nard's Tyranids get shown repeatedly. You'd be surprised just how many new visitors we get every month as well, so it is new to a large number of people each month.
