I am a huge Newb and I was wondering, what would be the best army to start with? I was looking at the Dark Eldar/Eldar, but a friend of mine who has been playing the game for many years said that the Dark Eldar/Eldar are to easily destroyed, he has been telling me to run Space Marines, but I have a grudge against most poster-children...

Any help would be greatly welcomed!

the thing about starting with dark eldar or normal eldar is that they can be a teensy bit complicated for starters. my advice is going to your local games workshop and asking for a demo battle when you've got the hang of it just look at some models and decide if you like them or not. remeber you don't have to like an army because they'll help you win but you can collect them just because you think they look cool. but my conclusion learn how to play or even pick up a rule book

You could help us telling what do you except from your army.
Close combat , High mobility , Ranged firepower , Stationary firepower , Elite troops , Horde army ?
Tell us your favorite playstyle and experienced players can give you hints about army which will be most FUN for you to play.

My favorite playing styles are shooting from far away and coming in close for the kill if I can reach them.
