And if so... Which one?

**Makumba**

Well I hope I will still be able to play with my AM and that ally and divination doesn't get nerfed too much , because those two things are keeping me afloat right now .

**troa**

Whatever they're doing isn't even out yet, and you're asking if people are already deciding they are going to start new armies based on rumors with no foundation yet? I think it's a bit silly to be worrying about it until it comes out.

**Zewrath**

How would you even start an army for 7th? There's literally nothing confirmed for any changes to the rules, so how would you even adjust for that?

**Azreal13**

My two armies are collection of various units, so while what I choose regularly might change, I'm pretty edition proof at this point.

The only thing that would change this would be a new faction with awesome fluff and gorgeous models, and that ain't happening.

**phantommaster**

I wanted to make a fun but reasonably competitive tournament army, so now I won't be doing until I know what has changed.

**Jaceevoke**

I was going to start a tyranid army when I heard about the new codex, but once I got it. . . I never bought any models. Maybe if 7th edition helps out assault I might consider starting them

**throwoff**

I have always wanted a DE army, I think I will start it soonish as even under 6th ed rules of them and my marines being desperate allies I would never plan to have them close enough to force the roll, the DE would be off down the table in melee while my IF tactics marines blow things up.

**welshhoppo**

Nope, I am quite happy with my 7k points of CSM and CD. I'm focusing on other things now, like WHFB and Warmachine.

**BrianDavion**

I'd been wantin g to go with a guard army for awhile but held off till the new codex came out so "i guess so?"

**ThunderFury 2575**

Hoping i don't have to remodel my entire army just so that i can kill something is my concern. There is a reason i don't find it too much fun playing CC orks against competitive people

**Puscifer**

Sorry if it's a bit early, but this was just a question to if you were going to start a new army.

It wasn't meant to be a "we haven't seen the rules, so how do we know" question.

**CrashCanuck**

I've been waiting to do Orks when their new codex comes out anyway so technically I will be starting a new army with 7th

**insaniak**

This is like asking people if they're going to be watching a new TV show next year.

Until we get some actual details on what's going on, how does anyone answer the question?

**jonolikespie**

There are a few armies I would like to start but 7th ed would really have to impress me to draw me back to it.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Haqqislam.

**tremere47**

Actually the level of rule abuse potential of sixth killed any enjoyment I had in 40k.

Seventh is going to be the make or break edition for me. If things stay pretty much the status quo, I feel my entire collection will soon be up on eBay.

**conker249**

Not really because of 7th edition coming soon, but I have just started a ravenwing army

**jason1977**

Nope. No money to start a new 40k army reguardless of what 7th or whatever they call it brings.

**Sincity**

No , but will most likely bring current armies up to date. 2 diff marine armies (8000 & 2000) , guard (15000) , nids (2500) , dark eldar (2800) , ork (3000) , 2x chaos marines (2000 , 1800) , chaos deamons (1500).

**Ascalam**

Actually I'm more likely to finish the ones I have and then stop, unless 7th really wows me. 6th didn't, but then DE and Orks are my main armies

Warmahordes is appealing to me more lately, and infinity looks cool too.

**Johnnytorrance**

Are you guys going to complain when this "so called" 7th edition comes out and it's the same rules as the 6th edition rule book along with escalation and stronghold assault added in?

**Ascalam**

No, because I already own those and won't need to rebuy them.

I'm hoping the rules improve to fix a few glaring issues with 6th, but if all that changes is that escalation and stronghold assault are in the BRB then that's ok too.

**Jimsolo**

Good lord no. I have five armies needing various amounts of paint, assembling, and repair. The last thing I need is to start another! (Although with any luck, my TGG models for my IG army will be here around then. Or at least have shipped...)

**Crimson Devil**

I'm not even certain I'll buy the BA codex anymore, and I've been waiting for it. I'm thinking more and more that I might just keep one army and sell the other. 40k is not a good game. It seems to me when I have fun it is in spite of the game, not because of it.

**Greenizbest**

Recently bought a Space Wolves Battleforce for a little change in scenery from my Orks. I'll probably go back to focusing on Orks after their update this summer(hopefully).

**MWHistorian**

Yes. Let me start an all new army for a reprint of the same rules with some expansions thrown in.
Seems legit.

If it turns out to be something more than that then no. new rules won't make me suddenly like an army more or less than I do now. I play the armies that appeal to me, not the ones that have the best rules or whatever.

**Paradigm**

I tend to start armies with new codices rather than editions, so no. Also, with Inquisition, Heresy IF and Space Wolves Wolves all paint-in-progress and two thirds of an Ultramarine battle company to collect still, I have no time for a new army.
