I have a friend who, while isn't new to table-top gaming(he is huge into Magic the Gathering) recently decided that he would problably like to get into Warhammer 40k. Before he makes his decision on what army he buys, he wanted to know which armies match which amount of expertise.
What I mean is this, which armies belong in which difficulty category. Here is what I am thinking, I have kinda based this off of my experience(been playing 40k for 4 years now) and which armies are forgiving if you make mistakes, can do most things relatively well and don't have an obvious weaknesses etc.
Good for people new to games(Beginner)
-Space Marines
-Blood Angels
Good for people who have some experience with table-top games(Intermediate)
-Space Wolves
-Imperial Guard
-Tyranids
-Necrons
-Chaos Demons
-Chaos Space Marines
-Orks
-Grey Knights
Good for people with 40k experience(Expert)
-Eldar
-Dark Eldar
-Tau
This is, so far what I am going to tell him. What does everyone think? Is an army not where it belongs?
