My friends and I play team games all the time, and it usually ends up being "good guys" (read--less evil looking stereotypically) vs "bad guys" (read--obvious villain types.) Moral debates about the various factions aside, seeing as I have two Chaos armies I'm generally on the same side of this no matter what I'm playing, while all my other friends with two armies have one "good" and one "evil," and I'm starting to see why.
After much consideration, I've narrowed my next army down to either Eldar or Tau. Nobody in my group of friends has Tau, but from what I've read and what people have told me it sounds like there might be a very good reason for that...
I posted a 2500 pt list in the Tau forum for what I'd want to use, just to make sure I had some sort of idea of how I would do that. Doing the same for Eldar took a bit more time, and even then I probably botched it horribly. Basically I've decided to just make it whichever army I'm more satisfied with when you lovely Heretics are done picking my lists apart and making them not suck so much.
Here's the full list of what my friends play, in order of how often I play with them from most to least, in case that matters for what I should use:
1. Eldar, Tyranids
2. Space Wolves, Tyranids
3. Orks
4. Necrons
5. Space Marines, Orks
6. Imperial Guard
7. Orks
So, now that I've thoroughly wasted your time, here's the list I was looking at.
