So.... I got around to sitting down and constructing potential army lists to build and now I'm here to ask advice of people who have spent more time playing the game (Well, ANY time would be more then me, but still!) for their opinions... I've got three army lists. One Exos, one Marauders and one Caps. PL 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Anyway. I'd like you people's opinions on which one you think would be the best to collect as a start, and more importantly: Why do you think that army would be better to begin with? Any advice about how the armies are actually assembled would be neat too.
