Im starting off with Marcher Worlds. The big old chonky Raptor really made it an easy decision. That and the couple games I've played, the mechanic and dusk wolf are super fun. The infantry are flexible, they got aggressive weavers!
Khador in space with gun! Kind of.

ISA all the way. Like the aesthetics and play style, and best of all they look easy to paint.

That's something I had some trouble with. I like some design elements of the Iron Star Alliance, and I think they have the best looking heavy. But I don't really like their light, and their infantry aren't grabbing me. Meanwhile I do like some elements of the Marcher Worlds; I prefer their infantry to the Alliance and both their jacks are fine (although I might have to do something about those elbows).
So for now I've settled on the solid Marcher Worlds over the more hit-or-miss Alliance.
My decision was based purely on visual appeal. In the future, when I become more familiar with the fluff and playstyles, I may discover that I've made a horrible mistake...

I'm still waiting on the purported 4th faction, at the moment. Of the current three, I'm leaning towards the rangeresque Marchers, but one of the "Wild" Characters has me considering ISA.

Im very much in "wait and see" mode with Warcaster. If I do pick it up in future, of the factions we have seen so far The Aeternus Continuum is the one that is turning my head the most. Id like to paint them in a "grimdark" style with oil washes etc and make them look really "evil".

Marcher Worlds.
Why?
I think the Dusk Wolf looks great, and I have been enthralled by the following two thoughts since day 1:
1) I can magnetize all the weapons and swap them out each game!
2) I can use SO MANY faster painting techniques that would look completely wrong on Khador models but will look super sexy on high-tech sci-fi models!

Like what painting methods? Specifically, an ink tint over a shiny metal base coat. It’s super simple and is great for sci-fi models like robots!

the only model that's caught my interest at all is the Aeternum light 'jack, everything else doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. I'm also waiting to see if they pull out anything exciting, but as long as we don't get some kind of space meat suit faction I doubt I'll join the bonanza.

Aeternus Continuum for me. Because sometimes you have a craving that only human organs can satisfy.

Marchers and Iron Star Alliance for me! It makes sense to have two armies for the start to make demos. I find the somewhat good guys most appealing. It is a little like Cygnar vs a well written Khador. Just Humans with differend political interests in conflict. The more I see the models the more I actually like them a lot! Continuum is not so interesting to me, I also did not collect cryx or everyblight for that reason. But it's good that they are there, because people do like that sort of stuff
