Game-wise I don't know, never played as either (other than a mini intro match or two).
Personally I like the Dark Eldar - nice, spikey and evil! The Marines are a bit too much of the "they're everywhere" army that a huge proportion of people begin with. With their high armour value you can possibly get away with a little more recklessness than the Eldar, but then again if you lose one it'll be more points lost.

All depends on your personal tactical preferences really. A marine army can be jack of all trades, whereas dark eldar are more of a rapid attack army, specialising in speed and close combat ability.

I personally prefer marines (Space Wolves!! :clap: ) but i do agree that they can be quite annoying as they seem to appear everywhere, compared with dark eldar, which are something of a rarity (think i've only ever fought 1 guy with dark eldar).

Easy on the !'s there fella :D

I play space marines for 40k, I have to say I never really liked the dark eldar, they all just seemed a bit spindly and thin rather than hard and spiky. The new Ultramarines are pretty funky as well.

Yeah, the new Marines are definately getting better, while I don't remember seeing anything new for the Dark Eldar. The stat line of the Marines definately makes them more of a beginners army (or a veterans army, if you look at it from making up your own chapter and ignore the gaming)

Cool, have you got any background or pics for them? And if you're involved in DoW, do you have a chapter badge, banner and team colour that might be suitable for submission? :)

dark eldar have the worst codex available.. they are weak and poorly armed and armoured.. their combat specialists cannot best standard marines in combat.. and their fire support cannot take the toll needed by the eldar..

Cool, great :) I can add them to the main Hive World Terra website if you want - a little article/gallery about them. Just need to make sure that the site is running the latest version of my content management system first! don't think I've been updating the code behind the main site much.

That would be nice,but the Story line surround my Chapter might get some Bad Reactions since I am using one of the Spaces in the Legion charts that shows the traitors and ones that stayed loyal

To my mind, if it's in those lists, then the person who came up with the chapter wanted it distributing and made public. You can come up with all sorts of reasons why yours is the same Chapter, but different - different period in its history with a different chapter master, different companies with difference character, all sorts :)
