I've more or less decided on Space Marines, using a chapter I have created
(last night, at around 2:00)
The thing is, I love the look of Eldar and Space Marine tanks. What should I do?

Ahh, this brings up a rule question. I don't have Epic 40k yet, but I'm
wondering if there are ally rules?

My Chapter is Codex right now, but is veering off the path. There is a WD
article I'm going to re-read about creating Chapters for Epic 40k. I think
I'll give that a shot. I have name and paint scheme. Obsidian Guard (Yes, I
used the name list from the WD article) Black body armour, with all red
shoulder pads (Maybe with black edges, like blood angels) I can't wait, I've
wrangled $26 since yesterday, as well as having another $40 coming in. That
brings me up to, uhm, $66. (Which was almost what I paid for Warhammer 40k,
is it just me, or are GW prices getting a bit insane?) Barring and spending
binges or unexpected cash falls, I should have Epic 40K in 5 weeks. Time to
get a job!

Anyway, please continue this thread, I would really like to hear all about
peoples armies. C'mon Chaos, corrupt another young innocent. And Orks,
another Waaaaagh! is alway good. And I must say, the squats are coming up a
little short here. (Shoot me)
