I play IG because they are the only Army that isn't super buffed by nonsense.

They are just regular schmoes in a vast galaxy and can hold there own against the worst of them. I also liked the fact that they relied on Armor and have the largest array of vehicles.

It was also my first Army and I didn't want to be like the majority of people and play space Marines

Tyranids-I like the idea of commanding the hoard and watched Starship troopers loads as a kid

Dark Eldar-Because the models looked great and I wanted a new playstyle.

Tau-I wanted a sci-fi army as opposed to all the fantasy type armies and who doesn't like the idea of mechs.


Some day

Sisters of Battle-Unfortunately, I also watched too much Xena as a kid.

The only thing I like about the Starship Troopers movie is that you get to see what a Tyranid swarm would look like in full attack. The rest of the movie was kind of lackluster for me, but just watching the swarms enveloping that small outpost was worth the price of the DVD to watch it again and again and again.

I started with Chaos, but switched to Eldar fairly early on. The whole MEQ thing was fun at first, and can still be refreshing once in awhile, but the satisfaction of watching your army of specialists come together seamlessly to crush your foe really is beyond compare.

I also really enjoy the fluff of both armies. The plight of the Eldar is like poetic tragedy, while the sheer aggressive nature of Chaos is very appealing as well.

No Templar option!??????????

Imperial guard, or more specific death korps because i love their fluff and the imagery of trench warfare. i laso love artillery.

Necrons because well be honest with me who doesn't love robots.

Chaos - first army and my brother played SM.

Necrons - tough shooty army that aren't SM.

I play IG becouse..

Armed with nothing more that a mag-light, a t-shert and balls of steel, they are expected to face off against the horrors of the warp to faster than lighting Xenos, souless metal men to even those of their own kind.
They do what they do becouse they have to, never asking or getting any thanks from the countless worlds that can sleep safely that night becouse of them. They are the hammer, shield and sword of the IoM. With out the guard the whole of the IoM would fall.

"We first and last line of of the defence of man. Let none take that honnor from you."

That and I can make stuff like these

Shame i cant make select two options. I chose daemons.

Previously, i have finished my Space Marine army, getting the various squads i want for my point level and decided to move onto something else...

...Daemons. Not to popular, or competitive (besides fatecrusher) but thats why i chose them. How often do you see people think, "Dam, i've never played this army. How am i going to play this one?". I also like some of their models, namely Skulltaker and Bloodletters.

Although my daemons army is small, 3 fully painted models to date (frikkin exams sucking away my time), these are the bad boys i'll be collecting for the immediate future. My space marines are, to all intents and purposes, 'shelved'.

I played Imperial Guard

Why? Because I like the Guard, and I wanted a break from power armour

Previosly I played the following armies :
CSM
Ordo Hereticus
Space marines

Imperial Guard. Taking quantity over quality to a WHOLE new level....

Grey knights, because cheese is yummy, actually i havent played a game with them, just love the minis and i'm one of those people that cant play until they're all gussied up with paint, of course im rubbish at painting but thats a whole different kettle of fish

Tau, because shooting and killing stuff at range felt more natural than running up and knocking the gak out of your opponent

Don't worry, you Dark Angels and us Black Templars are too busy eradicating the enemies of the Emperor (blessed be His name) to bother being options in a silly poll like this.

Sorry. When I put this up I wasn't aware of all the chapters of sm. I'm brand new to 40k.... so sorry to all my crimson fists and black Templar and salamanders (etc)
