40K on the tabletop: The combat philosophy thread

[TimeWizard]

Well met playgrounders, I am looking to start playing tabletop 40K, and I would love some help picking an army. Here's what I'd like: a short paragraph describing how each force should fight and some simple pro/cons. I know all the fluff from other Warhammer Media, but my practical knowledge is nonexistant. Assume newest edition.

40k isn't really a roleplaying game (though it's a big part of the fun). Try here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=303801).

We've already got a 40k tabletop thread over in the Gaming (Other) forum, as it's a wargame rather than an RPG.
