Some factions will lean heavily towards ranged firepower while others focus on melee combat. Once you’ve made a decision, pick up the faction’s codex (book of rules) to learn all about their history, their units, and their strategies. When buying and painting your army it’s also worth thinking about how it’s going to look and play on the table. There’s three main groups that the factions are classified in: Imperium (Space Marines and those fighting for the God Emperor in some capacity), Chaos (daemons in space), and Xenos (aliens and orcs). You’re going to spend a lot of time with these miniatures, so best pick a faction you like the look of. The heavily armoured Adeptus Mechanicus are basically big robots and impressive simply as glass cabinet show pieces. There’s 24 factions on offer, so if you want to play something less stereotypically human than a Space Marine it might be worth investing in a horde of Tyranids or units of Space Orcs, who prove in space there’s definitely strength in numbers.
