I have a good head start to some armies and builds:

My current armies that I have at least 2000 points in
Space Wolves
Grey Knights
Dark Angels
Space Marines
Eldar
Necrons
Tyranids
Chaos Space Marines and Daemons
Tau

I am looking to either expand or start something new, preferably something not with an evil alignment. I like straight forward armies that are easy to use. Fast and hit hard, are durable and elite. The less complicated the better, basically I don't like messing with phsychic powers that much and I don't like combining too many things to create a powerful combo, but I will ( increased Necrons repair for example is something not too complicated ). I also like to use the same unit over and over, I'll use devastator centurions a lot, like two or three big units of them. I like the wulfen stuff a lot. The dreadknight is one of my all time favorites... I have lots of bikes in dark Angels and space marines... My Eldar force contains lots of wraithguard and a wraithknight. Tyranids I have lots of genestealers and most everything else.

I like low model counts. It's easier to travel with and pack up. I don't care really about objectives, I just want to send out my models to shoot and or crush things in hand to hand. The Legio Custodes look awesome! But don't know a lot about them. I'm coming back after a two year hiatus. So something fast on the board, easy and simple to use, easy to build and paint, elite, tough, and hits hard. Strategy be damned. Thanks in advance.

As much as it pains me to even suggest, the destcription of the army you want fits a Space Wolf army of TWC, Wulfen, etc. They are expensive hard hitting units with high durability, not much to remember when playing them than point them at the unit you want to kill.

Whether a faction is evil is very much up for debate as the 40k background is very much not all black and white, good and evil.

Also you might want to move this to Tactics or general, not background.

Yep, you are describing Space Marines. Space Wolves is one option, but maybe look at other chapters, or even consider chaos space marines - goes against your good aligned preference, but gives you more options when painting.

Also perhaps consider a space marine crusade force.

Also take a look at the Skitari, they might interest you enough and be different enough from Space Marines
