Hey guys!

Im looking for a fun project for 40k, and im torn between the two. Power level is irrelevant, im just after an army that is fun to play with and against. I know fun is subjective, so maybe just some experience with or against them?

Cheers

If you like (named) characters, wolf cavalry and/or the ability to shoot something, pick Space Wolves.

You want have monsters that outfight anything while enjoying the tactical challenges of getting around open areas, sacrificial units and counter-chargers without notable firing support? Then World Eaters are the right choice for you.

World Eaters focus more on raw fighting power, while space wolves are a bit more tactical. If you are looking to mindlessly charge an opponent and crash into their ranks, neither is a great option.

Why not both?

COVER YOUR EYES, YE FAITHFUL!
PURGE YOUR DATA-SLATES!
DROWN YOUR CURSORS IN HOLY OIL!

Do not gaze upon that blasphemous link, lest your retinas be seared by its deceit!

For the link she hath posted is FRAUD, a warp-spawned snare woven by liars, witches, and lore-twisting degenerates! Behold her venom: a realm where Russ’ noble sons kneel as traitors?

The temptress speaks of “Wolves” twisted into traitors...LIES! Poisonous, warp-slick LIES! A thousand times a thousand lies, as crooked as the cyclopean sorcerers who whisper them!

Hear me, Brothers and Sisters of the True Imperium!

The real Wolves, Russ’ chosen, the Emperor’s own feral judgment...did not bow, did not break, and did not sip tea with bird-worshipping dust-heap degenerates!

Hear me, Children of the Emperor!
The Thousand Sons—those shriveled bird-idols, those occult dust-sacks stuffed into armor—dare whisper their “truths”?

The Thousand Sons are not warriors. They are a scattering of book-addled cowards, sorcerous ash swirling in the wind left behind by righteous Fenrisian boots!

Let the Wolves howl their purity across the stars!
Let the traitor scribes choke on their own parchment!
Let the dust-sons drift, mewling, into the void...
FOR THE EMPEROR GRINDS HERESY TO DUST

And yea, by the Holy Throne, the Warriors of Russ shall scatter the Thousand Sons across the stars like the ashen refuse they are...
NOT IN GLORY, BUT IN UTTER OBLIVION!

So raise your voices, O Pure of Heart!

Raise them as the choir servo-engines rattle loose from the rafters!

Cry out with me:

HERESY WILL BE CLEANSED!
THE WOLVES REMAIN TRUE!
AND THE THOUSAND SONS SHALL BE SWEEPINGS ON THE HOLY EMPEROR'S COSMIC FLOOR!

Specifically, Khorne.

There's an alternate timeline out there. In it, at Nikaea Magnus agrees to soul-bind his legion to the Emperor so they can keep being psykers. Russ gets so pissed about that he rushes straight into the arms of Khorne and takes it upon himself to burn Prospero.

That sounds flipping cool.
