Here are some options I gave him,

(1) Buy another codex but play with SW characters
- He wants animals (fenrisian wolves... Any FW options for other CC army?)

(2) Buy GK
- he likes very few troops (and still animal problem)

Any suggestions??? I am at a loss for what to say! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000487.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000487.page GMT Re:...Problems with army picking...

SW for the painting hes not going to get it anywhere else, and with how much your paying for 40k as a hobby he might as well play what he is into.

as for other SM variants that are decent at close combat

Carcharodons / Space Sharks, are put out by forge world they have awesome fluff and function similar to SW with their mechanics

Blood Angels, they are due for a new codex at some point and are a CC oriented space marine faction

Black Templars, but alot of people feel shafted by them being rolled into C:SM, my local BT player uses them with the Carcharodons rules

With Thunderwolf Cav / Fenris Wolves there isnt much else from other armies that are similar game wise (minus daemon khorne mounts / dogs) - I'd say let he play what he's into. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000523.page GMT Re:...Problems with army picking...

Thanks so much! I dont see those on FW, Could I get a Link?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000530.page GMT ...Problems with army picking...

Only Space Shark stuff I found on FW, but it's something. Lexicanum or Wikia will have more if he's interested in converting standard SM's.

Also, Minotaurs are a decent way to go in terms of nasty melee if I remember correctly and I know they've got a few things on FW as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000546.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7000546.page GMT ...Problems with army picking... Help! CSM.

He wants space marines that are choppy that have interesting things to paint? That's the entire codex. Plus, he gets to play the badasses. Have him do a google image search for khorne stuff. They're probably more what he's looking for anyways - hairy, axe-murdering space marines.

Or blood angels, if he wants to play loyalists and likes close combat. If you can sell him on the vampire thing.

Otherwise, yeah, SW.

Oh I would encourage him to play wolves. first impressions no regrets. (lizardmen for me as no one played them. still hate them).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7005291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7005291.page GMT ...Problems with army picking...

He could even do traitor Space Wolves and use bits from both CSM and SW ranges.

Perhaps hold off until the new codex is out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7005422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/603989/7005422.page GMT ...Problems with army picking...
