So, back in the SM2 days there were about 12 playable factions, counting each of the Marine legions that had their own rules. The amount of choice available to a prospective NetEpic general is a little wider. If you leave out a couple of the fan lists that dont really hang together properly or are just too silly (Ogre, Alpha Complex, alternate Exodite list, Smurfs) then by my quick count you have.....wait for it.......48 possible armies. And that's not even counting the different Craft Worlds or Squat Clans as seperate factions. So your choice is pretty broad indeed.
So, I have come to the realisation that building one of each army is impractical, and not really a clever idea for a number of reasons. However, I have worked out that if I finish painting what I have already, I am only 1 short of having AT LEAST one army from each of the main army books, plus having a couple of the minor, unofficial books covered as well (Genestealer Cult, Hordes of Evil). I wouldn't mind doing a Chaos Squat army, and there are some spectacular Elysian proxies....but putting the minors aside...should I go Tau?
Well, the obvious answer is yes, of course you should.
Exodites go to war.
