Hi everyone,

I'm a returning player (last played since 3d edition, yes really).
Many years ago when I was a lot younger, I played dark eldar.
I picked them purely on looks.
Now many years later, i'm considering getting back in the hobby,. And picking up a new army.
However, im having a hard time picking an army and a lot may have changed from when I played.

So I figured i'd just ask you guys.

The main playstyle im looking for is bulky shooting. I love shooting everything to bits from range, but I also like not having too many models/casualties doing it.
What would you guys recommend for bulky firepower? I dont care too much about army variation. So even if for example a melee army has some insanely good shooty units, thats still an option. Eg in 3d edition I remember orcs could actually field some hefty firepower.
Edit: I should add I like psykers and was considering eldar/am/tau mainly.
Tia!

Welcome back to the hobby. It's been awhile since I've played . Tau seems to have one of the best gun lines. My son has Imperial Guard and they seem to have solid firepower. Good luck with making your choice and enjoy.

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

Alaitoc eldar. They have an army wide -1 from enemy shooting. So put them in cover and they are hard to hit. Like insanely hard And eldar have amazing firepower with fireprisms and linked fire stratagems and psychic powers that weaken enemy saves. They also have dark reapers which are the most powerful heavy support infantry in the game. Look into them more. It gets insane
