2 of my friends got me into 40k, one tried to get me to play space marines the other orks or chaos. They were both talking about how cool and badass their choices were. But nope, the moment I saw a bog standard guardsman, and was told they were just regular humans and were pretty weak (as in guardsmen) I fell in love with them. I’d just spent an hour or so looking at huge demons, alien horrors, space elves and cyborg super soldiers all the while being told how super fast, massively tough, or magically powered they were. And to then see a man, just a man with no fancy weapons or armour, no powers or special abilities. But that he would go to battle and face these horrors made them more badass and heroic than all the other armies combined.

This. Way back in 2003 when I was first introduced to 40K, I wanted to collect and play Dark Eldar, because I liked the way they looked. I had also just seen Hellraiser 1 and 2, and I liked that the Dark Eldar were pseudo-Cenobite slavers. I was told by the person introducing me to the hobby that my best bet as a new player was to get Space Marines and learn the rules/general strategies with them. Foolishly, I took his advice. So there I was with freshly emptied pockets, painting and playing an army that I didn't like, and I quickly moved away from the actual gaming part of the hobby. I've recently decided to give it another shot, and this time I'm following my instincts; I'm going to play Dark Eldar because I like the way they look, damn it.

I picked tau in 5th edition because I loved the fire warrior book, then when u started playing I was the only player at my local store who played tau for a good year. Then 6th ed comes around and tau get an update and become mega cheese and I was actually annoyed that suddenly everybody was just playing tau or adding tau to space marines because they are good, then complain at me for playing a cheesy army. Even today people moan about my army choice when we decide to have a game and I'm like "no, this was my first army" and I gleefully point out the old 5th edition battle suits and broadsides and tell them I don't play tau because I wanna win, I play tau because I want to be that little fire warrior fighting for the greater good, I wanna be a Shas' La Kais

I love the Tau for their law, and in theory, it's a great way to try and make the 'Greater Good' actually work. I have loved Tau for maybe 10 years. I have more Tau models right now than any other army. They are one of the heights of 40k in my mind, in terms of the sci-fi nature and design. I got into the lore a bit over the last few years. I love learning about their systems and worlds. It's kind of Star Wars-y in a way, which is great.

I felt the same way about my Dark Eldar. I started in 3rd edition with the boxed set that came with Marines and Dark Eldar. My boyfriend took the marines. So I stuck to DE and built up on it. Learned how to isolate enemies and maneuver fast to overwhelm them. How to assassinate characters easily (just as DE should). I painted them superbly because I'm a very good painter and even though I would lose a lot of games, I did achieve painted army awards. My army had it's ups and downs. Then the new codex FINALLY came out and got some new models. The new book was OP as hell and I was so used to fighting all of the Marine/Necron armies that I was pretty much table-clearing them. They thought I played DE exclusively for the cheese. Luckily nobody else really played DE at the time so I had that going for me. I finally won my first tournament with the new army. Quit soon after that because the new books started to become far more overpowered than my meager evil-elf self could compete. Luckily Necrons got screwed over because I hate them.

My answer is always what looks cool to you. Because about 90% of games like 40k, AoS, warmachine, whatever, (barring xwing) is the hobby. If you want to play an army merely because it is the most competitive or powerful, the hobby is going to become a mindnumbing experience. If the army aesthetically pleases you, then you become passionate about the 90% part of the game, even if you may suck in the 10% part. My brother plays orks, and they are not very good compared to most armies. But since he loves the look, feel, fluff, and even playstyle of orks, he sticks with them, because he knows he spends more time making his army look cool on the table rather than act cool in combat. He could collect Eldar to actually win games, but their aesthetic doesnt interest him, so he doesnt plan on collecting them.

I think lore should always be the basis for a warhmmer army. I don't see the point in getting an army that you aren't interested in other than their stats. I play the Empire because I'm a big fan of 1700-1800 human history and the Empire are based on a personal fave of mine, being the HRE. So they fit the historical side. Then I like their old world lore (and their gods) so that adds another one. Finally Playstyle came in (as the empire are very adaptable so it's a choice that can be made within the faction). I wanted to make an army that focuses on two large blocks of infantry with a huge amount of healing power (IE lifeblood wizard spam with a war altar and Volkmar) so they are pretty much unkillable unless surrounded. They get enemies caught up in fights whilst Demigryphs mop up, cannons go shooty shooty and Priests/witch hunters go round and beat up on hero units. Hopefully it works well (entering my first tournament in september)

I'm a new subscriber, and new to Warhammer 40k, and this video did a lot to help me explain why I'm attracted to the first army that I am; Skitarii/Adeptus Mechanicus. It's a combination of both what I like the look of gameplay-wise but also their fiction and flavour, the thing that makes them who they are and not something else, really appeals to me. Their models look like a nice mix of simple and complicated to paint, and that appeals to me as I intend to get into miniatures and model building as a wider, general hobby too. Having that slight complexity to lean into seems good to me. It also helps, as a newcomer, that they don't seem to have a gigantic model variety. There's less options for things to buy and that helps me concentrate. Keep up the great content, I'm really enjoying it .

Well with recent updates to chaos space marines, they have actually become a high tier army now, especially when you utilize the new Traitor Legions formations that turn them into a force to be reckoned with. Personally, I've had a lot of success from playing these new formations, and unlike other high tier armies, it isn't a point and click style army like other high tier armies are. If you are having trouble playing CSM, referring to the new traitor legions book is a great way to get back in the mix of things!

But even if i like to win ( like everybody in general) i wont play things like Eldar cause i really dont like hit and run tatic or even being a Tau and camping my ass on a cliff to shoot everything on sight ( Nothing toward peoples who like playing eldars and Tau tho ) Just find sad the players who only care about winning and wont hesitate to take OP faction of the moment, or atleast dont even try to fight with their original army. When you see tournaments where they give the player with a "weak faction" more units over the limit point for balancing the match that just crazy and strang rules are made by GW And yes the embarassed/awkward feeling is also here when you are the OP army of the moment ( like for me when the helldrakes came out and destroyed everything on their path )

I tried tyrannids, and liked them, but switched to Guard because at the time I was still living with younger siblings who couldn't leave them alone. Broken. Gaunts. Everywhere. That said, I'm just as happy with the look of the Guard!

hate responding a year later, but getting into warhammer is kinda easy. assuming you have NOTHING at home relating to this hobby, like good brushes, modelling paints, razors, etc etc, it will cost about 200, give ro take to fully get in. but if you know where to look and/or have some of teh things you need already, it will cose udner 200. i recommend getting some vallejo or reaper paints that match the color scheme you want, and buying start collecting for Tyranids. P.S. starcraft ripped off alot from warhammer. the zerg are essentially copy paste and renamed tyranids. tyranids have existed for decades.

Death = lots of magic and can have extreme unit size, very high force # control, slow and almost no saves but easily replaceable, reliant on numbers - Daemons = lots of magic and minion push, very mid ground/glass cannons, reliant on magic shields and faster minions - Elves = high ability/command choices but can have a glass cannon mentality, mid speed, but can be tanky and glass like reliant on artillery and flying units to see combat first - Chaos = melee power, magic , slow/mid speed but very tanky, reliant on extra saves and Calvary - Orcs = extreme melee power and tanky but can be very slow and reliant on faster weaker minions to reach combat first - i play death and with no cannons minion numbers and magic will be your only friend in the wake of other army strengths the other army's listed are the ones i've played against with my buds and i don't win a lot with death due to the high management - my view might be skewed a bit from playing them too for the last few years :)

First wargame that I played was original Warzone and I had small Capitol army for it. Back in day when WHFB 5th ed was changing to 6th ed I had build High Elves but I didn't really like those after all so I ended up going with Vampire Counts that I sticked with until WHFB was replaced by AoS. When I started 40k back in 1999 with 3rd ed I build Blood Angels and when I got back to it with 5th ed I went with them again and then with 7th ed I picked Dark Angels because I like they fluff so much. In WMH Mk II when I started I went with Khador because of they heavily armored heavy warjacks (of course being red also helps) and later I learned that they have some of best infantry in game in form of Winter Guard. In Infinity I went with Nomads just because I like they color scheme (black and red) as well as fact they were one of two factions in Operation: Icestorm box.

I chose guard mainly because I liked the fluff of 'em, liked the shooty aspect, and likes the variety of tactics you can do. From infantry rush, to mechanised, wall of russes to artillery barrages that cover the field, guard get a lotta options. Not all of them work out of course, mechanised is never as fast as Eldar, shooty never as good as Tau, but you can do a lotta things, some unexpected; Like one list I ran, basic 2 vet squads with flamers, company command with officer of the fleet, aegis line with comms relay; and then two full platoons of stormtroopers with meltaguns, all deepstriking. 70 AP3 basic with lots of ap1 s8 scattered around, all landing and ignoring difficult/dangerous thanks to move through cover... it worked very, very well, and caught my opponent completely by surprise.

Before entering age of sigmar. I like the idea of playing death, since I love playing as a evil necromancer if given the option. But the death modles to my surprise were not speaking to me, I found them boring. So I started to do some research on the factions lore of the game. And chaos started to grow on me. This even carry on to 40k chaos look so badass! The lore of a faction can really change the way you look at them

I started with Orks simply because I loved their feel. I loved how their "clap your hands if you believe" thing felt and everything. they were just too hilarious and fun so they were my first army. my first minis being Komandos that I blindfolded ('cause if they can't see you then you can't see them right?) and I still adore them to this day. That being said, one thing I've noticed through some of my play is that Sisters of Battle are actually pretty crazy in terms of power right now, though I fully expect this to change as GW releases new models and the new codex for them which I'm super excited for

I picked Dark Eldar as my first army because it looked the coolest. Now I'm spoiled for models since the entire line was redesigned all at once so it looks brilliant, but the rules are heavily stacked against them. If anything, playing as Dark Eldar has taught me to be a much more competent player as I'm always having to compensate for a lack of power on the tabletop. On the other hand, it gets frustrating losing all the time against armies I just can't hold a candle to. Really my biggest gripe with the army is losing so hard/fast I don't get to enjoy my models on the table.

Dark Eldar are very unforgiving to play and one you definitely have to build and play well to succeed. Have you checked out some tactics for them? 1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Dark_Eldar(7E)

I've read all kinds of stuff about them from people who don't understand where the meta is headed for them. 1d4chan is usually good but no one except for a *very* rare few people know how to play Dark Eldar properly anymore. They're the posterchild of a square peg in a round hole army. People keep using them as glass cannons for example, but they're out cannon'd by so many other races at this point that's not the way to go.

See I wouldn't necessarily agree with even that. They are what you build them to be. They can be a blitz army, sure, but I've also built Dark Eldar lists that have survived 6 turns of Tau shooting just holding objectives. They're not as flexible as other armies but they definitely have options for people willing to go the extra mile to try and make them work.

I wanted to play Space marines but didn't want to choose the most common chapter (sumrfs, space wolves), so i went with Salamanders, because i liked their lore. After that i bought some mechanicus units because i thought they look really cool, fun to paint and would be a good ally. I'm not really concerned with the relative power of armies, and space marines are supposedly pretty good in the 7th ed. so that was fine
