You can make a crappy army with any codex.
You can make a decent army with any codex.
You can make a dominant juggernaut with only a couple of codexes that happen to top the metagame at the time.
Play the army that interests you. Learn it. Study your opponents. Improve your skills. Be happy with your results.

HAHA hell yea bro still trying to explain to the misses why i spent $300 on "action figures" just wait till she sees they arent even painted or put together haha I cant wait

Funny, and we can all relate to I am sure! I have been playing for a couple years now (just over 2) and only have 1 painted army.....that I am stripping and starting to paint again, after I paint up my orks.

Looking forward to your progress, take our time it will save you in the long run (me stripping my army to repaint is my lesson to myself). Post up pics in the painting ond modeling of your progress!

Welcome to the hobby. To reiterate, if you've got the $$ space wolves are the most competitive and the most forgiving to play. You'll also face them in half your tournament games so that will help you learn the army quickly.
