Hmmm. If I could re evaluate things, I would probably focus on one faction, namely Chaos. Right now I have a Space Marine bike army, and an ork trukk boy army Shelved indefinitely. I don't realistically see any further support for marine Biker builds, and I'm not exactly into footslogging horde Orkz, which is the only way to run them.

But as far as a new army, I would love some horde daemons or Tzzangors.

I would most likely choose blood angels again, they are my favorite space marine chapter and I have so much fun playing them. Though there is a decent chance id pick a xenos army like genestealer cults, dark eldar, or orks.

Nids or dark eldar.

If im really going hard i would have spent all of my money on sisters if battle instead of orks/guard and random tzeentch stuff i like to paint.

Of probably stay eoyh chaos but do a all biker Nutgle army
Or a all infantry nutglr renegades army

Orks. I'm playing them in Lotr, too and always hesitated to get into them for 40K due to high costs and the loads of minis one has to paint. If I had to start all over, I'd probably choose them, though. Simply because my Nurgle army ended up as big as an Ork army would have probably

I'd start the same with Wolves and Eldar but not start so many other things. I somewhat regret getting Dark Angels, Harlequins and the Yncarne.

In that case, I would stick to nice miniatures, good sculpted, so that would mean i would not bought anything else from GW, nor play their games.

I'd start the same armies and in the same order.

Truth is they're my favorite ones. I'd certainly like to add more armies, but if I had to restart the hobby I'll definitely pick up the same ones and also 90+% of the same units I've bought so far.

I'd just skip the drop pods, the only 3 models I own that I never liked and added to my collection only for gaming purpose, now completely useless.

Well, I'm an addicted Eldar player. So my answer is nothing but Eldar.

While not destroyed I recently shelved my Sisters (the only functional army I own at the moment) and eventually settled on Ad Mech. Goal is to do a Forge Moon Deimos army using Graia rules (aggressive Ad Mech is definitely an odd choice I admit, but I think it's a reasonably fun one).

A few things got me into them: the 1950s b-movie design (lots of glowy bits to show technology, the Kastelan robot design, the obvious regular guns with glowy bits glued on), and the fanaticism. I don't know what it is, but I love me some fanatics.

Oh, and I'm probably going to start every game with something like "That's a nice STC you have there. Mind if I borrow it?"

If I had to start over tomorrow withe the current options available it would be Cog Boys for me.

I'd first have to decide between Chaos (Traitor) Marines or Loyalist Marines.

For Chaos, it would be between Black Legion (easy paint scheme and I could easily make cultists out of Guardsmen) and Thousand Sons (one of the best backstories).

For Loyalist Marines, I'd be deciding between Ultramarines (Forgeworld bits) and White Scars (fast stuff and easy paint scheme)

I just started back around 6 months ago. I picked GK. If I had the ability to declare a mulligan I'd probably have gone with Necrons or Tau.

My ENTIRE collection? I think I'd walk away. The only reason I have kept ALL of my armies is to play them when I want to. Starting over with GW is just not something I'd consider reasonable at current price value and time requirement.

Right now, I'm buying Kingdom Death, which I consider to be a vastly better use of my hobby budget. The models are much better. The Monsters are HUUUGE! The people look like real people. And I don't ever need to buy duplicates to spam. Plus, it's co-op, so I don't have to deal with TFG. Winning!

My Order was...

Chaos
Dark Eldar
Space Marines Mk1
Imperial Guard [Still Main]
Space Marines Mk2
Dark Eldar [Part 2]
Orks
Space Marines / Blood Angels Mk3 [Secondary Army]

While I love my IG, if I didn't have them I'd restart with Tau, and get back into Chaos Marines after that. I still love the look of the Chaos Terminators [got me into 40k in the first place].

Good question! I've been playing a lot of Bolt Action recently, so I'd probably pickup up Imperial Guard. I've always wanted to play Death Korps, and I'd be able to apply a lot of things I've learned from BA over to painting DKoK.

I've always had an affinity for Eldar so they'd be high up my list. However if I was in the mood to pick something other than Eldar I'd probably pick up AdMech - I really like the current model range.

Sad to say but I wouldnt, if i had to go back to the start of my hobby career, I simply would choose another game to try out, maybe some sort of crazy complicated historical game!!

I think I'd go for Imperial Guard. Orks always get shafted in their rules. Sisters will always get shafted for models. The non-primaris range of Space Marines feel obsolete and diminished in stature and the Primaris side doesn't have the variety of parts and armour styles that made Space Marines appealing. Chaos seem to be in a good place right now but the other shoe is going to drop on them for scale creep.

Tyranids. When I started Warhammer it was always between starting Chaos, Orks, or Tyranids and after trying all 3 Tyranids have been the most fun I've had in the hobby.

lol, i don't need to imagine this, lived it. Went from a pair of armies (10000 points each no forge world) nid and eldar armies respectively. 5000 point dark eldar army, and a humble 3000 points of world eaters. Lost all of that in a natural disaster.

Now running/painting, 3000 points of harlequin and 3000 points of tau. Once those projects are done i will be looking at daemons or orks.

Definitely Marines....specifically Imperial Fists.

White Scars and Crimson Fists are cool too.

I am a fan of some of the Black Templar and Space Wolves stuff too.

since ive been playing orks........id have to go with wolves or salamanders

I started with Blood Angels, bought guard (Catachans), and have started Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orks, Chaos Marines (twice), Daemons, Necrons, Mechanicus, and Custodes.

I still have Blood Angels, Catachans, Orks, and Mechanicus.

If I had to start over I would have started with orks and expanded with, and kept, dark eldar.

All my failed projected I sold to friends to get them into the hobby for cheap!

I'm in the beginning stages of selling everything but orks and Custodes, and I'm going to convert up some 'Space Gauls' for a guard army using mammoth type creatures as leman russ' with gun howdahs on their backs. Its going to take a while, so the infantry will first hit the field as orkish auxillaries, as gauls are choppy, and orks are choppy.

It should be a fun project!

I'd start a plastic sister's of battle army.

I think id swap my vanilla marines for tyranids or necrons
id swap my GK for custodes

Nutella which has been left out to fester for far too long.
