Choosing An Army

Imperial Guard

The Imperial Guard is you average army, just with beefy tanks and heavy artillery along with some cool special forces. these men are the defenders of the emperor's people, and often aid to the Space Marines. This arm's strong point is the leader ship and fire-power they possess.

Space Marines

The Space Marines are a super human army, made from men who are genetically changer to be faster, stronger, and tougher. These men are the Emperor's conquers, cleansing the universe of evil and beings not loyal to the emperor. This army's strength is their well rounder battle skill, leadership, and powerfulness.

Chaos Marines

Evil and treacherous, this army is much like space marines, only... well they are evil and HATE the Emperor. Their strengths are equal to the Space Marines, only they aren't as well organized or orderly as the Space Marines.

Eldar

This human-like race's home planets were destroyed long ago, so now they fight for territory and pure vengeance. this army is fast and agile, with many aspect warriors trained for specific tasks.

Dark Eldar

Dark Eldar are to the Eldar, as the Chaos Marines are to the Space Marines. they are evil and ruthless, thought they aren't as organized as the Eldar, they pack more of a punch.

Space Orks

Aggressive, beastly, and often stupid, the Space Orks are a deadly and difficult opponent. Attacking in large hoards these batter-bread creatures mob their enemies with their numbers and literally tear them a new a-hole. Ruthless and strong this army makes up for their lack of strategy and order, though that can also become their downfall.

Tyrenids

Quick as lightning and just as deadly, this alien race swarms across the battlefield like a plague. these monsters have the numbers and the ferocity to overcome their opponent. Tyrinids are strong in close combat and have their share of long range attacks too, but take out their leaders and they will become confused and unorganized.

Necron

you ever see the movie Terminator? Well these mechanical monsters are just that. Though slow, they are extremely strong and feel no pain. The best way to defeat one is keep shooting at it until it stops moving, then fire on it some more just to be sure.
