Simple enough question... what army should I start for 5th edition? its not just random, oh look, new rules, lets start a new army! basically, anyone who spends £100 or more on 40K stuff on the day of the big release gets a coach ticket and ticket into warhammer world for just £5 ![]() so question is, what army do i get? I want to do either Necrons, Tau, Daemonhunters, Witchhunters or Dark Eldar... I am unispired to do Tau as an army cos they have never appealed to me that much, though if done right they could be one of the sickest things in the new rules... so I'm leaving the decision up to you guys ![]() cheers |

i voted witch hunters but i think, if it works in 5th ed, you could just do an inquisition army taking your pick from the daemon hunters as well. the fluff could be that both bands from different ordos had been chasing the same band of heretics for different reasons and teamed up or something. other than that tau. if you play with a full troops choice you could be pumping out 144 str5 shots a turn (rapid fire of course, but 72 doesnt sound as impressive as 144). and then theres always a manta that most tau players wish they had. i know i do |

i voted necrons for a few reasons. 1. they have rock hard, adaptable troops, and 5th is supposed to b all about the troops 2. i love em 3. besides the troops, everythign else is hard too! they can get some good speed in there too 4. cuz Tau will suck in 5th (if you play mech, which is WAY better than static right now) our tanks will become big pillboxes because of str4 defensive weapons. the lowest weapon str on a tau tank is 5! most weapons on other tanks are str5 too! h.bolters? str5. those are on alot of tanks. really, str5 should have been max defensive wep str. sorry for rant... yes, i think necrons are the way to go. |
