First off, this really needs to be on the General 40K forum.  Rules and Questions is for questions about the rules.

This probably isn't the answer you want, but it's the best one there is in my opinion:  The army doesn't matter, it's the person who playes it.  40K really is a pretty well balanced game system and every army has a reasonably good chance of success.

Watch games, read battle reports, talk to folks who play, and try to get an idea of what each army has to offer.  Take some time to sit in the store and read through the codeces (they won't mind if they know you are picking out one to buy).

For what it's worth Eldar are a collection of specialists.  Each unit has a fuction in the army, and they are one of the best in the game at it.  However, if you try to have a unit work out side of it's specialty you're asking for trouble (and a loss).  This is a big part of why Eldar are seen as a "Veteran's army", because the player needs to have a good idea of how the game works to understand the toll of each unit.  I don't think this is neccessarily true, but it does require a new Eldar player to do some extra preperation before they start playing.

Argueably the easiest army to play is Vanilla Space Marines.  No special chapter rules, must Space Marines straight out of the standard codex army list.  This is where the majority of new players start, but there's reason anyone has to follow the herd.
Over specialization builds in weakness.

Even though its off topic, the best army is the one you feel most comfortable with! On the left side, theres a link to battle reports. Theese are summarys of games, so read through them and find some armys you like, then run a few searches on the armys you like to find out more about them. Since you a beginner, i would advise Space Marines (NOT SPACE MARINE BLOOD ANGLES, i notice the epople who play them are made fun of ALOT)

A) Space Marines are tough as nails! (I quote that from the SM codex)

B) There Games Workshops most favored army meaning there constantly getting new things.

C) They are in my opinion, one of the toughest armys to beat unless you have some great tactics to take em down with!

If you wana paint some really colorfulk guys, try eldar as they have some AWEsome color scemes. Well, hope this helps. Peace

Naw. Follow the dark side and turn to the powers of chaos if your thinking marines. They offer so much more converting, are just as pampered as the marines, get deamons, and did I mention their evil?

No don't follow that pathetic weakling. The false Emperor will fall, and all who support him will fall with him. We have many rules almost exactally like the Marines, but have more chouices also, so you can start out a Chaos army much like a marine one, then expand to a more diverse and exiting force than marines will ever offer when your ready. Plus, if you serve Slannesh, you get infinate pleasure...

I don't agree that Chaos has way more choices. I think their choices are just different so you've got all different choices. For the guy that's just starting: don't listen to people who tell you which army to play. Only listen to opinions of armies. That way you can decide for yourself which you like and you should like them longer and stay interested. Also, if the people telling you what to buy are friends, they are likely trying to get you to buy something they know how to beat.  :P
