The short list, shortened.

Alrighty, I had a nice list of eleven (or so) potentials that I was looking at, and Ive managed to gut it down to three. Gonna talk through them, maybe give myself reason to pick one over the others.

Black Legion Chaos Marines - These guys are in the lead right now, for the main reasons that I have a ton of them, and they are mostly painted. Any money I throw at them is going to go into the more fun to paint models, and tanks.

Imperial Guard - Ive also got a significant amount of Cadians, though only a few of them are even in the color scheme I want. There is also a lot of stuff Ill need to pick up, like tanks and psykers and more troops.

Empire - I actually dont own any Empire models right now, but Ive been toying with an idea for a Reikland/Altdorf themed force for a good while now. One of the biggest reasons they are on the list however, is that I am going to Midieval Times this weekend with the wife and inlaws, and I know thats going to inspire me to do something with horses...

Right now, the Cadians are taking up the desktop real estate, but Im thinking of swapping them out with the Black Legion when I get home.

I'm throwing in my support behind the Black Legion, but then I may be biased, since that's going to be my second Chaos army. :) Also, having a good amount of them done frees up time and resources to have fun with the rest of them, as you pointed out.

The Empire seems like the Dark Horse (no pun intended) because you've sworn off Warhammer this year.

Whereas I'm suddenly up to five Warhammer armies when I tried to cut back to TWO. (sighs)
