IG are also quite attention-getting, and may help you attract more players to the game.

Also remember for people not used to the fluff etc the IG are conceptually easy to understand. The IG have tanks, infantry and artillery which are all common concepts in modern military thinking. If you had Eldar you'd have to constantly explain what a "warhost" and "troop" are, as well as mucking around explaining how skimmers are different to other vehicles.
Basically people can relate to IG easier, same applies to Imperial Navy in Gothic IMHO. A newbie can vaguely guess what a tank is good at just because it's a tank, and so on.

Yes, the IG has lots of Grunts, FA and AFVs. They are generally easist to use and can survive a little "bungling" ...

Although some have said Marines are not a good starting army, That is the army I started with and it was not bad. I would avoid Eldar and Chaos as a newbie starting out because of all the additional things to remember etc.

Thanks all for your replys. I have decided to do an IG armored force. Partially because it is an easy army to use and is very forgiving but also because one of my friends is a WWII history buff and the IG would fit that theme. Also a large bludgeon is more his style anyways.
Anyways here is the IG army that I was contemplating:
Tank Co
Storm Troops with Valkaryie
Infantry Co w/ Firesupport
Infantry Co w/ Ogryns
Super Heavy Tank Co w/ 3 LR Demolishers
2x Artillery Batteries
Hydra Battery
Total: 3000

Tank heavy? That's putting it mildly, grin.
I suspect if I ever came up against that force I'd need a change of underwear! Actually since I'm starting a marine army that sounds quite unpleasant...

IG is also good because you can cross-utilize formations into Lost and Damned armies...as Traitor Guard! More bang for the buck!
my 2cents,
