I sat out a few 40k games and started playing again in tournaments. For starters I noticed the drop in MarineArmies. I mean only one in the last tournament.
What I say was O'Shova Tau, Tau Marines with Inquisition, Regular Tau, Dark Eldar/ Eldar, plague marines ( zombies or marines and bikes burgled type), daemons, csm/ daemons, new nids, and dark angels.
To be honest I brought my daemons this time around. However I think I will retire my Tau for a bit since Tau seemed to be what half the people was playing still. I think I am the only Tau player to play devilfish and sniper drones though. Anyway I rather not do a Tau vs Tau, although I have done rather well in those battles.
The reason I bring this up is I want to play with an army that is not played by everyone. Ironically my Daemons and Tau used to be those armies. Anyway I have a few ideals. Oh I forgot about the Grey knight and necron armies there too.
Well thus is what I am looking at.
Guard
Sisters
Orks
Grey Knights
Blood Angels or Space Wolves
Surprisingly enough some armies are not played as much as you think they would be. However the armies that I can actually field and I rarely see on the field are.
Sisters
Guard
Blood Angels
Space Wolves
I always liked the Thunderwolf squad and a few other models from the army. My problem is I do have to pick up a few more models to field it properly. If I do field it, it probably will be allied with IG. Besides the custom characters I am hoping for an update to hopefully fix the army to where I like it as a whole instead of little.
Next is the sisters. I probably can do a sister/ inquisition or sister/ guard/ inquisition or sister / guard. I always wanted to run this force again. I used to run it a lot when it was legal back in 4th and early 5th. This project has been dropped a lot due to rule changes constantly changing the army line up. For example at one point you could run grey knights/ sisters/ guard. I have thought about doing sisters/ grey knights which should look awesome on the table.
All that being said. I think I might do sister/ guard with Inquisition, the old Mardi Gras Alliance list. The main question is do I run 2 Exorcist or have full access to IGs fast attack and heavy support slots. My main opposition will be Tau a d I have to deal with Riptide and broadside spam. I did thought about running mr. Drop 5 plasma shot tank, but due to taking a lot of glancing hits I am starting to second guess this decision. However I am debating running a tech priest and having my inquisition give prescience to the tank to prevent over heating.
