I need some help !]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162295.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162320.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162328.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162345.page GMT
1) what you like the look of (because if you play with an "ugly" army you'll end up hating it)
2) what you like the fluff of (because anti-societal emos choose Chaos )
3) what you like the play style of (ie if you feel you want to get close and personal, do not choose Tau)
4) What you have the money to effectively collect (ie, short on cash? DO NOT do Tyranids)

A good place to start looking is the store shelf or the Dakka Gallery, becuase you might just see one or two things that interest you, and thus spark a chain reaction.

Whatever it is, go with your gut feel, so that you won't regret it later. 40k armies are for very long if not for ever.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162350.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162350.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162353.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162439.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162439.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3162443.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163319.page GMT
Eg. I love outspeeding my opponent with fast vehicles so I went with Eldar, my brother likes commanding a huge hoard and outnumbering his opponent so he chose Tyranids.

Also don't get Necrons until they get updated, you'll loose most games xD]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163337.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163337.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163344.page GMT Lol Also do you want to play for fun or competitive? I love nid models and their fluff but I hated their rules and the fact that there are a lot of units that don't have models(a bit of a perfectionist and can't do conversions lol)

If you have friends that play see if they'll let you borrow their army. I also read through a few if the dexs to see what I liked before I picked my last army.

When you do find an army you like, whether you have money to blow or not, check eBay, the swap shop, and even bartertown for people selling armies. You can usually find a decent sized army for a fraction of retail. You may have to strip the paint, and do some rebuilding but you'll save a lot of money that you can then use to add into the army or even trade/sell the models you don't want.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163374.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3163422.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3167695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3167695.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3168119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3168119.page GMT 40k universe. Plus you can buy any model from any army and make it an ork vehicle with a bit of elbow grease!

It all depends on your situation, but another factor you should probably take into account is your meta, ie the game played at your FLGS. Go for an alternative army, don't just copy the rest of your gaming group. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3168624.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3168624.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3174663.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388121/3174663.page GMT
