I have Daemon Hunters, I just choose the units I could best work with, and combined them together so they worked for maximum effect, and that I could use them easily without consulting rules and Codex's every 2 minutes.

I call it a "My Army"

My armies always tend to end up being mass infantry, with fast(er) units in support... There's just something nice about having a huge weight of fire to plaster your enemy with.

Anything fast. I have a preference for shooting over assault, but some fast moving assaulters are still fun.

Tau- Hybrid, recently moving to completely mechanized, but I like my kroot to much.
Guard- Lots of vehicles and infiltratorss. Every unit has either a chimera or can infiltrate.

I like numbers. Even in marine or chaos armies I don't feel comfortable unless I have a good number of boots on the ground. Guess it's my orky side showing through. My Tau are a bit of an exception to this being mechanized and all, but the reason I originally started a tau army was for a change of pace

so what your saying is that oven cleaner can remove paint from plastic models? and after that, you take a toothbrush to your plastic model, and the paint just comes off?

Not quite, started them a year before that game came out.

I wanted to win assaults, it seemed luxurious.
