Thinking of starting new army and need help.
The release of the new edition has me inspired to start a new army. I want to start a new army but want one that not everyone is playing. I don't want to be the 10th player playing for example Space marines.
I need your help to decide. I would like an army that most players in our group don't use in tournaments so when I play there is some variety. I plan on going more often to the tournaments so I need something different.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Nobody plays Demon Hunters with Guard Allies. Ive got a bunch. We could work out a deal for them. Perhaps some minor painting services.

Re: Thinking of starting new army and need help.
Demon HUnters are rarely played, so that would be a good choice prob, but if u dotn want space marines, then maybe they are not for you.
Demon army is so new that i dont think anyone has it yet, but will prob gain popularity as people start getting the models.
Witch Hunters are another rare army, you can go with Radicals instead of sisters and field storm troopers, assasins and what not.

Re: Thinking of starting new army and need help.
Are there many people playing Tyranids, Necrons, or Tau?
I havent been down there lately so I don't know the army composition these days of the people down there.
Max or Stephan can you give me a list of what is being played and by how many people?
Thanks

Re: Thinking of starting new army and need help.
The one's I don't see alot of are mostly what's been mentioned already.
Witchhunters
Demonhunters
Demons - because they're so new
Dark Eldar - because they're so old.
There are certain types of Marine chapters that you don't see that often that I believe still have rules for them...
White Scars
Flesh Tearers
Salamanders.
Iron Hands
Imperial Fists.
Raven Guard.
But .. I don't know if you are allowed to use those old rules for them.

The space marines are supposed to be getting a new 'dex and we all know how GW feels about their pride and joy. They will be the benchmark 5th edition army if you want to go that route.

Re: Thinking of starting new army and need help.
After much debate, I think I am going to go with the Grey Knights. I hear they are hard to play with and I feel like a challenge.
Wish me luck.

Re: Thinking of starting new army and need help.
I am going to take Bill's advice and suppliment them with some IG for some fire power. I also plan to use some Stormtroopers for cheap firepower and scoring units.
Of course, the main force will be the Grey Knights Termis and a crap load ( mean more than 10) Grey Knights. SO i figure having 16 models for 1500 pts.
I will be hard at work researching the warp for the next few days to see what others say about the army so I have a beeter idea of what I have gotten myself into.
Death to the False Emperor, oh wait; I am a good guy now.

Re: Thinking of starting new army and need help.
Yea I read them, they are sick. I am also looking forward to fielding an Assassin. Which one I have not decided yet.
I think I am going to have fun making this army. There are so many combinations.
I do know that the main force will consist of Grey Knights with maybe an Inquisitor and storm troopers. I also plan to support them with some IG. And with the 5E rules I am going to finally take out the Land Raider for a test drive.

How come everyone is online? Does no one work anymore these days? No wonder all our jobs are going to some third world country.
