Well, so in the past few months, I've started to decline in playing video games and have shifted more to the tabletop gaming route. Picking up DnD, Magic the Gathering (again), and now after all this time I've decided I'd also like to get into Warhammer 40k. I've always wanted to play it or fantasy, but at the store I go to more people play 40k, so go figure. Anywho, I've read about a few of the armies, watched battle reports, read the rules, and I'm pretty ready, I guess. But the only thing I'm having trouble with is picking an army. Now, I have two armies that I most likely will end up going with. I first read and looked at the Tau and loved them from that moment. Flying tanks, robot HQs, huge-ass range on loving everything with almost all of them being able to penetrate armor? Shweet. But then I looked at Space Wolves. They've got some cool as hell lore, are brutal in close combat, and can also be pretty mean at close range. And they have loving wolves, tanks, and drop pods. WOLVES. But I'm having such a hard time picking an army.
So, people, want to help me pick an army? I'm open to some other suggestions, but don't loving tell me vanilla Space Marines. I'm a newbie but I know that stuff won't work.
edit: Also, I'm sure I read this somewhere in the rulebook, too lazy to look for it, but can you have units from other armies in your army? Like, orks with marines (why you'd do that I don't know.) Just wondering. If so, putting some loving Daemons with Space Wolves for lolz.
