Hi, I'm an eldar player by trade... A year into playing and I'm starting to consider a new army to collect.
Currently considering skitarri/adeptus mechanicus/imperial knight army or a chaos army. Love the look of chaos and their freaky mutilated models but also love the new ad mech stuff gw have released.
Was looking to get some advice on how each play, looking for a different experience and tactical setup when compared to eldar. Any thoughts much appreciated!!!

Kinda obvious the answer here is Dark Mechanicum. Play the AdMech army, but spend some extra money and time in converting them to look corrupted by Chaos.

That's a really great idea.
I'm sure someone could do a creative mashup of these two:
Hell, you could probably just use the Warpsmith, really.

Agreed. Especially with the most recent releases, you can easily do an army primarily built around daemon engines, and there are some very pretty daemon engine models.
Khorne Daemonkin can field a lot of daemon engines, and also suffer a lot less from random-table-syndrome than normal chaos marines.
Plus chaos knight models are awesome.

Ad mech...the new models are awesome. Chaos models are bad and need an update.

How could I do this? Use the skitarri and ad mech codex but just corrupt the hell out of the models and call them dark mechanicus? Automatically Appended Next Post:
Am leaning towards ad mech simply because their models look so different, plus the thought of an imperial knight also gets me a touch excited!
