after finishing my cadian army of 3000 points im interested in starting a new one. i have been plotting on either a catachan army, death korp of krieg, or vostroyan army. Im using the cadian codex with the last two and the jungle fighter codex available at the GW us sight with the catachan. i really just want something that will make any gamer stop and say DAMN!
btw money is not a problem. as i will be buying little by little over the months

I'd do Vostroyans, not many gamers use 'em minis.

TO be honest, if money is not an option, id for for the DKoK, since they are Forge world, time and effot will make them look awesome.
Full painted, armour supported and all that, all the gamers will stop and go "DAMN!"

Yeah, that is true, people were very impressed with my DKoK, although quite a few people collect them.

If you want something that'll make people really impressed, I mean 'stop, look at your army, then take a deep breath, drive home, steady themselves on the furniture and have a stiff brandy before driving back and saying 'damn'' type impressed, I'd plump for some of the old classics. I did a Praetorian Guard force, and using the crouching and standing firing models with the sergeant made a sort of firing line squad. I only had the money to do a patrol force size, but put it in the middle of a desert board with a few buildings, some sandbag redoubts and a Praetorian officer done up to look a bit like Michael Caine, complete with some respawning greenskins, make a fanastic army for an "Ork's Drift" battle which really does look amazing.

I play Death korps of Krieg! a few other people do too, thefanciestofpants for example. They are more common than you think.
Ork's drift, lol, I love it! Sounded like a fun game.

i think the metal models from GW and the resin models from FW are very close in price.Since you were thinking vostroyan vs. DKoC.The Vostroyan have great detail and pretty dynamic poses.With a few conversions you can get almost any heavy/special weapon you want.
the Praetorian army is a great idea too but if money truly is no object then try to get the old storm troopers from 2nd edition with the beretts.I know you can get them with heavy weapons becouse i have some with heavy bolters and auto cannons.
hope that helps

hehe mabus? you know whats the 411 on fanciofpants 2500point DKok mail order army? hows yours btw? anyways....back on topic, my suggestion would be the harakoni warhawks from the cadian codex, these guys just scream airborne division to me. Take your average storm trooper and convert it a little to have a grav pack,normal lasgun and a few extras,voila...add a few valkyre gunships for support and transports and maybe you have something. Although i would go with mabus and some people and do a Dkok army, good looking models, fantastic fluff background, good painting oppurtunities, good luck!

I know you don't want to hear it, but the, "damn," factor you are desiring is all in the presentation. But I understand - you just want to get away from the everday Cadians, so in that spirit, ANY of the options are good (Vost, DKoK, Catach, Elys, Mordian, Prae) it is all going to be in how they are presented on the battlefield......... The Four Factors: Theme, Conversions, Painting & Flocking.

I'm trying to build a cadian army with an entire conscript platoon kitted out like the Volks grenanadiers from Company of heroes: funny little Col. Schaeffer caps et all. Maybe buy some cadian upgrade parts from forgeworld...

Noone seems to like the Valhallan models =( I got an full infantry army of those (thouhg not painted... or glued) numbering about 130 models... That's not the usual imperial guard army you see. At least not I... =)
