Playing with an army not in danger of any sudden shifts in playstyle is a big plus when I'm still learning.....conversely, giant robots....

Go die in a hole. Anyway, Hi New Bod. Pick the army you like the look of because you are going to be looking at those models a lot. The rest of this group are super friendly and you should take them up on those intro games.

If we as a community don't support stores who will

Yeah, that same store I've ordered a number of things from in the past couple of weeks and whose owner knows me by name. I posted a number of miniatures (some still on the sprue) in the For Sale/Trade portion of this very board that I have sitting around that could help someone new to the game get started and then they'd go to Wanderer's for the cool stuff. Conveniently, crews are tearing up my street this month, so there's a big hole right in front of my building.

Clint, the reason Andy brings that up is because this very community has watched 2 game stores (both of which Andy worked at, and one of which Nick Baran as well) die due to lack of support from the community that used its space, tables, and terrain. Understandably, he wants to make sure that the new members of this group (since most of us have been playing together for the past 3-4 years) and especially the people who are 100% green to the game, start off on the right foot by supporting Wanderer's Refuge and Dice Dojo.
Obviously there's also nothing wrong with trying to trade for bits, get rid of some random models to people who can use them, but his point is more that if someone is starting a brand new army, they should try to get as much of it as possible from the store that so generously gives us time and space to play.
Andy means well, he's just British and hates "us backwards colonials" lol

I guess deciding between those two is between being "That Guy." Or being "THAT. F#*%&$. GUY."
At least that's how I read previous commenters about the Tau and this video....

Its just the Decurion in Necrons that is abusive. Like any army, spamming the excessively good things can make the game no fun for either player. If you decide to go Necrons don't be discouraged by all the hate the internet has thrown at them. If you get into the hobby you'll find out codexes aren't always made fairly, but most people don't play the game for its *super balanced ruleset*. The models are great, the lore is some of the best sci-fi, and the people you meet can be pretty rad.

Leaning fairly hard towards necrons, as they seem a bit more forgiving to a newbie. I want the game to be fun so I am not particularly concerned about finding some exploitable loophole, but I would like an army with some strategic flexibility

Necrons might be it; they have a ton of different ways you can approach army building. There's almost no bad unit in that entire book and they all have a lot of synergy and fluffiness. Tau, to me, seems the same thing over and over again, just on a different shaped base.
