Go DKOK all the way! It would look sick! I would give someone full points just for buying the stinkin' thing. yes it would be expensive, but if you just build one 1850 tournie list and stop at that you would be good to go.

Go DKoK. That way you can logically add Commander Chenkov. His tactic of throwing troops at the problem until there's no one left would fit in well with the DKoK tactic of throwing troops at the problem until there's no one left.

Yea, I know... the IF is a big one. Still though, go big or go Warmachine!

I started in 2E and really liked all five of the classic regiments but the Cadians were the one that appealed to me just a little more than the others. In the long run, that turned out to be a good thing since they have gotten the most love. If you are going to do a Guard army and want the really cool looking FW models, then Krieg or Tallarn are the way to go. Personally, I don't care for the aesthetic of either one because of the weapons. The Krieg lasguns remind me of BAR's and the FW Tallarn rifles remind me of the Tusken Raiders in Star Wars too much.

I don't care for the Elysians so much but that is because the grav chutes did not strike my fancy and some of the models looked a little off for some reason. Just personal taste. However, some of their weapons looked awesome to me. Before the new Codex came out, I was going to give my sergeants, officers, and radio operators all the bullpup lasguns. I used to always field my sergeants with lasguns but now I will have to use CCW and laspistol instead. My old metal Cadians are used as sergeants and corporals in my squads or as vets.

It really comes down to what era you like the most. The Krieg guys are WW1 style, Catachans have the Vietnam-era down, Tallarn and Valhallan do the WW2 look, Praetorians go for the 1800's Zulu War era uniform and so on. Krieg would look great on the table. Personally, I just don't like the WW1 feel from the rifles and big iron-wrapped wheels. Everyone does Cadians so I would say go any other army. One badthing about the Krieg would be if you wanted to do any converting. I have had some fragile resin from FW and it looks like there are some real concerns if you decide to do any converting. On the plus side, though, I can't think of any coverting you would have to do since they have a decent variety of models and plenty of options already.

[therealjohnny5]

yeah that was part of my thinking. there would probably be little converting needed as they already look pretty good. just some command conversions maybe. I think i'm going to go with Dukes suggestion and settle on a rough 2K pts as we tend to play 1500 or 2K pts here....so now i'll need help on the list...suggestions of a core 1000 pts?
