I'm new to 40k and I'm trying to build an army and I'm torn between the imperial guard and the nids what are the pros and cons of both?

GW loves to give shiny new things to Imperial Guard, especially because that army has a lot of autists who drop $800 for a plastic tank instead of building one out of cardboard.
So you should probably pick nids.
True but the nids have so many models you have to put on the tabe one has to wonder if the price weighs out in the end

I didn't know I needed that in my life so much.

Guard is really affordable if you proxy, and I've yet to see a place refusing someone with not!ww2 miniatures.

>imperial guard
great tanks, loads of infantry, reliable performance, solid unit interaction, endless Forgeworld stuff, tons of support, actually playable
>tyranids
lots of big griblies, fairly nice models, supposedly *very* popular with female players

Guard get badass points and variety.
Nids nids nids nids nids, nids nids nids.
nids nids n

oh.

Nids are the NPC faction and are pretty much unplayable.
Guard you can proxy with historicals.

Depends how much you like the Hive Tyrant with wings.
If you're answer is 'I'd literally take 3+ in every army I write and want more than 50% of my points invested into them' then you should play 'Nids.
Otherwise the Guard.

I did. I can only hope that considering Focus have published numerous GW games in the past that they and Eugensoft will make the connection.
I mean, what are Eugens even working on right now? Some more unit patches for Red Dragon?
Now, im usually a guard player, and sometimes i tried the nids of another's guy army.
they are really funny, but maybe its just me that only play's for fun
