    Default Looking for a new army, Thats a bit diferent..

    So, My primary army is Tau, i'v been playing them since I started 40k back in 5'th edition and since then I have played Necrons (Mostly warrior spam) and some Space Wolves. But I'v mostly been shooting in all three armies, Stand back, Shoot enemy till they die, repeat. Now I'm looking for a army that plays diferently then my Tau and I'd like some sugestions.

    Orks are the most fun army I've ever played. They can be a shooty army, true, but they are fast, sneaky, choppy and open for all of the converting you can think of.

    Orks are one idea - or you could also start Nids... their current 'dex is not the best GW ever produced for competitive play, but it sure has some fun stuff, and a new one is on the horizon...

    I toss my hat to the Orkz as well, their codex is diverse, with multiple builds possible. That said though, it is an older book (it was released at the end of 4th ed.) and a couple of units will come across as useless (Flash gitz...) However, with the rest of the book, Orkx can give you a varied force to work with, and some shenanigans that will leave more questions then answers.

    Other option is to go different but complementary. Eldar are a mobile close range army, but can ally with Tau so you can start with just enough for an allied detachment.

    If you want a serious challenge, try Dark Eldar.

    Their book is solid, but the army is inherently fragile, and works best when it's picking its fights. That calls for calculated aggression, as when you get mired in combat or boxed in, you pay heavily. They can be shooty and hitty to boot!

    And the model range is frankly jaw dropping.
