I'm not sure about Orks.

I think guard is your best bet. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9065317.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9065317.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff?

There is the obious horde armies, Guard, Orks and Nids. But there is also the newish AdMech and Genestealer Cults. But then other armies might be able to do mostly infantry with support even better then those options!

Well, you can always do Tau as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9065343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9065343.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067159.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067159.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff?
If you want masses of low-grade infantry with some high-grade support then Genestealer Cults might be worth a look. Their main Codex is almost nothing but low-grade infantry that punches way above its weight, and you can ally in either Guard for tanks or Tyranids for Monsters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067170.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff? MC side, footdar would make for a nice fluff list built around an avatar, Tau can easily and effortless do this with their suits and firewarriors/kroot.

The first thing that jumps out at me when I read the title though is Guard. Basically I'd pick whatever centrepiece models you think look coolest and then build an army around them. Or conversely, build an army around whatever ground forces you want since you're going to be paint way more of them. Either way you can build an effective list if you just follow the basics of listbuilding while sticking to your theme.

I'd probably pick Daemons though, just 'cause I like their model range.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067174.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff?

This is the traditional way to build an army. Necrons are probably the best way to represent this at he moment. All their vehicles are big stuff and their infantry actually acts like infantry blocks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067178.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067181.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff? I play a mech tau list with suits drones and path finders mixed in.

Outside of being "good": basically every army can be built up as lots of infantry + support ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067613.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067613.page GMT Re:What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff?
Reason being that their basic infantry can literally handle any target. From Guardsmen to Imperial Knights, you can attack it with your Gauss Rifles. Units like Guard and... basically anything else... wind up wasting quite a few points on infantry that are ineffective against a large number of targets, unless you pay points to upgrade them with "guns" that may or may not be effective against your selected target.

I personally love the look of Necrons, and they're very easy to paint well. Truthfully, if I didn't already have a "shooty" Guard army, I'd have played them in a heartbeat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9067719.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff?

The majority of Skitarii units in a War Convocation are Infantry. The Kataphrons too, except they don't look or feel like Infantry on account of them being Mutoid Men with T5 and 2 Wounds. The rest is vehicles.

War Convocation != Skitarii, nor anything to be braying about. It's a crutch formation that has been overblown by neckbeards to be "the cheesiest thing" in 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068064.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068064.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff?

Skitarii are part of it - most of the infantry units are Skitarii. Hence what I said.

Settle down, Beavis. OP wanted armies with lots of infantry and some heavier elements. WarCon fits the bill. Nobody is "braying".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068072.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068089.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068089.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710451/9068110.page GMT What army would you chose for mostly infantry supported by some big stuff?
