Hello Forum.
I have happily been playing games with Tyranids for the past four years. Slashing Space Marines, spreading gore and acid on Eldar, and listening to the chitinous masses scuttle across the table top has brought me a lot of happiness. But, lately, I have found myself with a lack of story and motive. No real driving purpose other than the simple desire to consume more for the bio-mass. Boredom was setting in. Then it struck me... I am lacking some type of narrative. I need a character to lead an army that I can imagine talking and inspiring, more than just imagining a Hive Tyrant spitting and gurgling.
Therefore I am reaching for insight into the General Forum. I'm looking to branch out away from the single mindedness of the Tyranid Creatures and by inspired by an army with heroic leaders and a great story. That being said, I am not totally interested in branching into the world of the Space Marines. They are a little too "For the Emperor" for my taste, but I was wondering... " Who out there absolutely loves the story of their army. Who can forge a narrative with their Warlord and feels a little more of an attachment to their troops than mere cannonfodder."??
I would love to hear some feedback on Armies and units that inspire the other Warhammer 40k players out there.
Thanks guys and girls
