New AoS player here. Haven't even made a purchase yet but the GW website is extremely annoying with the way the armies are split up. I play 40k and have on and off since 3rd edition. That being said that I am a purist in that i don't like a bunch of different races etc making up my army.
Which armies in the AoS setting can legitamately stand in their own? I'm not a competitive player but I do want an army that can be played with some success even if some tactical genius is required.
Pretty much any of the individual factions are playable, some more so, some less so. I'd advise you to do what I'd tell anyone starting out to just pick a faction you like the fluff/aesthetic/playstyle of and play a few games with it
CHAOS
- Blades of Khorne
- Disciples of Tzeentch
- Skaven Pestilens (though they might get thrown together with the rest of the Nurgle stuff in January)
