Why did you choose your Army?

Was it down to the fluff and background? Maybe you like their overall colour scheme or battlefield presence? There are so many reasons to choose an army I can't list them here. Instead, i'll let you know why I picked mine...

I took Chaos as the majority of my favoured choices had already been taken by my buddies. Shit huh?

So why did you choose your current Army?

Thats insane. Where do you store them?

gris
250 guard
as in 250 guardsmen :eek:

thats insane

i have around 70/80 and i find that impossible to store. i would love a guard army that big though......
well im a guy who likes large armys

yea, i chose space marines coz i love their patriotism and how they look. When i played DOW i only ever played SM and DOW made me fall in love with them.
thats like a chick flick on fats mode that post was but all the same nice one

Are they ALL painted though? :wink:
I've got around 120 of the little blighters painted up, complete nightmare but well worth the effort.
My main army though has to be the notorious Beard Angels I ended up wanting a smaller army due to the guard horde driving me crazy painting wise and getting slapped around In combat far too often started to piss me of a bit so In came the BA's.
I've dabbled with Tau and Eldar but mainly due to the fact that my BA's play all of the three 'phases' I never seem to grow tired of playing them although certain opponents do! :wink:
Also Sanguiniess rules over all primarchs hands down so there! :p

:shock:
Nice one, do you ever play any tournaments with the horde? Always trying to find a nice tourney army for the good old Cadian7th If you have any Ideas?
i must be honest ive done it once and i never finished a game thats the trobal with it

I did try a 'horde' list with about 140 guardsmen at 1500pts but It's trying to find terrain for them and their heavies without getting completely massacred In combat that seems to cause the problem.
I know drop troops lists work quite well but I'm still trying to work out a bit of mixed list with light Infantry and drop troops, might go post It up.....
light and drop i doint advise it one way or the other done mix unless its 200 or more

I am usually inspired by color schemes or army configuration. I chose my Eldar, Tyranids, and Chaos for these reasons. I chose my Deathwing because I wanted to really showcase my painting and converting abilities. There is going to be so much detail to them it's not even funny. :)
I'm a sucker for what I read and translating that to the army I assemble: Blood Ravens for Astartes, Tanith and Last Chancers for IG, T'au Sept for the Tau Empire. I just wrapped up a Deathwatch Kill Team and Ordo Malleus Grey Knights force. My wife is doing Sisters of Battle, and Ulthwe Eldar.

Thining about starting up a Blood Pact force.

If I read the book...odds are I'll be assembling some troops to play on the table for it.

Those are really nice looking.
atm my legion of the damned have been started solely as something original. plus i like terminators :D
The GK termie models are just too pretty, and now i have pertty GKPA models... its just all so pretty. thats my reasoning.
