So, I have three armies already. A Tau army waiting for a new codex, A small Necron army thats not fully painted yet, and a arround 2000 point Space Wolf army, Thats also not fully painted.. But I'v been eyeing the Chaos Daemons for some time now, Specifically Slaanesh and Tzeench but I cant deside what to do.. Start a Chaos Daemon army (Dont know if I could ally it to any of my current armies either, Dont have the rule book. My gaming group shares one big rule book) or if I should just stick to my armies and try to finish painting them (I am horribly bad at painting and my sister used to paint for me, But she dosent have time anylonger..)

Rumors are saying that CD are due very soon, possibly in March or April. I would wait, if I were you.

Go for it!

One good thing about Daemons - they're easy to paint.
For example, you can get solid looking Pink Horrors with just a basecoat and a wash and then a few little details like the odd feather or bracelet. Daemonettes are a slight trickier, but light skin tones with black bodysuits always looks ace!

IIRC, Daemons are desperate allies for Tau, Orks & Dark Eldar, while being Battle Bros w/CSM's & allies of convienence with IG.

And yes, there are alot of solid rumors regarding Daemons getting a new codex + army book soon, (Hastings says pre-orders come up end of Feb actually!), so a good way to go for now would be;
a) Buy a box of Horrors and a box of Daemonettes since you like Tzeentch & Slaanesh. That's a pair of Troops choices to build on once the new books drop, plus you've got some gribblies to work on for the next 4-5 weeks or so.

b) Buy a Herald for an HQ. You can go for the Tzeentch Herald on Disc, or even the Blue Scribes of Tzeentch, (who are harlarious btw), or even look at some other Fantasy minis like the new Vilitch model coming out for Warriors of Chaos who'd make a great looking Tzherald as well! (there's also some easy conversion opertunity with either of the newer plastic Chaos Warrior Sorcerers, one being a 'generic' one and one being Tzeentchian)
Heralds honestly can be almost anything!
For Slaanesh, an absolutely perfect Herald on foot would be the classic Dechala the Denied One again from the Warriors of Chaos range. (former elf-turned-snake princess, yes please! ) Meanwhile, the old booby-snake Slaanesh Lord from the WoC range is a great basis for converting a mounted Slaanesh Herald - perfect for leading a unit of Fiends into battle!

Hope this helps,
Cheers!

Paint what you have and wait for the new deamons codex mate, it'd be a waste to drop money on a codex thats due to be obsolete in such a short time frame.

Oh, If I start Daemons I wouldent need to buy the current codex.. Got it like 7 or 8 months ago when I started pondering on starting them.. XD

I just dont know if I should start them at all or if I should just stick to what I have and try to finish it.. I'm realy bad at painting and dont realy like painting much, I just like playing and ocasionally assembling.. XD

I'd stick with what you have for a while. If the rumors are true and Daemons are coming in 2 months (Warriors of Chaos in Feb then both fantasy and 40k Daemons in March) you might be looking at a bunch of new kits and power levels greatly adjusted. You'd probably be better off to wait to see if we see any signs of Daemons before investing.

As for your unpainted necrons, there are a few very quick ways of rapidly painting a Necron Army. Just go black base-coat, followed by your favourite shade of silver as your main, and then pick out the details with some other colour. Easy as cake, and damn fast too.
