Now remember I do not care if I ever win a game cause as I get older my play time is well..... monthly at best. So I collect for the point of collecting and the look of some models. BUT!! I do play a game here and there so I do need... kinda a playable army.

I like well khorne and ogres and have alot of both in fantasy and am trying to step away from that style. So no space marines or their counterparts.

Now I need a army suggestion the ones that look good are the imperal guard/Necron/Tyranid. Which one has the best... board presence? I think it is called like looks good just set up in the house and can make a board based around. I also do not want to say go and play my 1 game a month and find out hey look everyone plays them :(.

I like the idea of having quite a few troops with a few elite that can duel it out with the best and hang around. Also I like the idea of how necron worked in dark crusade the PC game slow and murderious no hurry but we will get to you. Do they still play like that? I have been out of 40k well since forever only collected like 20 minis in the last 10 years so.... not sure where to even start.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669210/8233446.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669210/8233446.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669210/8233490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669210/8233490.page GMT 40k equivalent of the 7th ed Vampire Counts "Dickenhof Guard" style army.

On the other hand, both Guard & Tyranids are currently among the bottom feeders in the game in terms of raw power, with Tyranids being the better of the two *IF* you play the 5x Flyrant list 'o doom.

Guard tend to be looked upon as being the second most fun/rewarding army in the game next to Orks. It's basically THE underdog army in both the background and game itself, as the individuals that make-up your force are just basic human dudes in a galaxy of insane horrors.
They look and feel very similar to The Empire in Fantasy. Individually their units suck. But when massed together and boosted by their officers & other specialists such as Commissars/Priests, they can become much scarier. (still not scary though compared to the 'Big 4' of Eldar/Vanilla Marines/Necrons/Tau)

Tyranids are troubled as being the assault army that can't get into assaults, AND, being a psyker heavy army that has the worst psykers of the psyker heavy armies.

Still, both 'Nids & Guard are rumored to be likely getting new codices in the new year, so now could easily be a great time to start on collecting them! (unlike Chaos currently, who are looking like they've been 100% forgotten - especially the poor Chaos Marines...)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669210/8233497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669210/8233497.page GMT
