What army if you wanted to go troop choice heavy, would be most competitive right now??

Guard

Guard with Conscripts and Scions... Seems pretty stronk

CSM 5 men squad with one missile launcher.... use 10 of them.

Well, berserkers can be troops for World Eaters. They do pretty well. I hear orks aren't bad for footslogging hordes if you don't mind painting a lot of green.

U will prob want to stick with things that have the ability to deal damage at range rather than cqc. Assault is kinda rough RN

Orks, IG, nids, some specific csm lists like World Eaters and probably Emperror's Children.

deamons, just use horror spam for a lot of smiting

Conscript spam is good, but mostly as bubble-wrap and general area denial. They usually rely on other things to do the killing. And you can afford it since they're so cheap.
Orks are pretty good on their own, as they can deal serious damage and also take a beating.

Harlequins haven't been mentioned. They're not on the same level, but an army of mostly troupes can be pretty good.

AM with conscripts, scions and/or guardsmen, orks with 180 boyz plus buffing characters, nids with genestealers and eventually gaunts, chaos with tons of cheap bodies.

Other armies can rely on their troops but not in those numbers, I mean 3-5 units of kabalite warriors in venoms are still good, SW with 3x10 blood claws can be scary, harlequins troops are very deadly. But all these possible combinations are not really spam since you'll end with 20-30 bodies.

Thank you guys! Looking at Guard....because well optional mech and heavy's are real nice!

harlequins if you just want to focus entirely on troop choices.

Guard's troops are good, but they aren't winners by themselves, not even scions.

Noise Marines. Have over 100 noise marines in your army and two characters.
