Hi I'm a dedicated Dark Eldar player, just can't wait for the new codex.
I also have Tau, Space Marine and a Space Ork armys. I started playing 40K with Tau (Ouch!) and picked DE as my army of choice, the Marines and orks is just for distraction.

Crimson Fists. Always like the RT cover art and the back story its fun being near extinction!
Blood Angels, Sisters, Thousand Sons, Black Legion, Grey Knights, Iyanden, Guard, and Daemons.
I have been playing Blood Angels since Codex: Angels of Death. I have been playing Sisters since they got their codex in second edition. For these reasons, these armies are my one true love.
I tend to play BA similarly to a more codex chapter, I don't really load up on Veteran assault squads, assault squads, or furiosos. I tend to play a more mobile firepower army, backed by the obligatory Death Company.

My fav are Dark Angels
With all the fluff and back story there amazing
Ive been playing them sence way back in the first addation of space hulk (Death Wing exspantion) ive always loved the indian/Knight feel to the army.

I got my start with the lone paint demo marine. I painted hime red. Now days I have nearly 2.5 companies of Blood angels marines. The 2nd and 3rd and about 35 scouts of the 10th, toss in a bunch of vets and various other and you have my giant force. I also have a small collection of impirial guard, I love the Inquisition so I built a small personal army to acompany my Inquisitors. I have a good sized catachan force but rarely use them, They were built for jungle fighting and were my early painting work one day I will have to clean them up,... one day. Toss in a bunch of Tyranids to be the villains in a jungle fight and that covers almost it all these days.
My main army are Tyranids and I have about five thousand points of 'Nids.
I also have about 4000 points of Imperial Guard not counting four Super Heavies. A lot of these points are in the form of 12 Leman Russ tanks.
A small army of Ultramarines that I'm slowly building up and some Grey Knight support for my IG.
IG and Night Lords:
Night Lords because i like their style, and as my first army, was easy to play back then.
IG because i like the normal man vs big alien Monster theme...
I play Iron Warriors because of the Storm of Iron book which is a great read and I like playing Obliterators and the Iron Warriors are the only legion fluff wise that makes it ok to play 9! I also have around 500 points of Lamenters who I find fun to play with for thier background and because the badab minidex has inspired me to collect them.

When I first started playing back in 2nd Edition, I loved the armor of Space Marines. Starting off with SMs is very surprising to many of you, I'm sure! To be more specific, I love the color green, so I tend to gravitate towards those factions. Thus, I looking into the Dark Angels first and really enjoyed their background, so that was my faction of choice. The robes, the dark secrets, and the specialist Deathwing and Ravenwing really drew me to them.
Alas, it was not to last. It wasn't so much that I grew tired of them, but more than EVERYBODY in the area was a Space Marine player. So I decided to drop my Dark Angels and branch out. In the end, I could not get away from how much I liked the 3+ armor saves, so I moved to Chaos. At the time, I was very much undivided, and created my own small Chaos "Legion" who wore very dark purple armor with silver trim. If I remember correctly, I called them something lame like "Shadow Warriors" or some such. However, the lure of things green eventually shifted my gaze to Grandfather Nurgle. At first they were just some tough guys I'd include with my normal CSMs, but it did not take long for me to fall completely. Soon I was loyal only to Papa Nurgle and shifted my army to pure Death Guard just before 3rd Edition hit. Since then, I have been a Death Guard player. All Nurgle, all the time.
More recently, to have some contrast to painting puss and goo, I picked up the Tau. I enjoyed the anime-ish look and cleaner models to paint. I still enjoy them as my smaller side army.
After many years away from the hobby when i got back into it two years ago i started a daemonhunter army, partly because i loved the model, partly because i loved the fluff, but mainly because i wanted an army with a low model count as i didn't want to get bogged down with to much painting after so long not doing any.
Once that army reached two thousand points or so i stated getting bored of silver so started a tau army. This was because i loved the futuristic look of them and i wanted an army which while not a horde had a higher model count.
This is now at 1750 (the level we play in my local store) and now i am starting to build a world eater army. This is so i can have a pure close combat army to balance the other two which are far more shootier.
What next i wonder?
