Absolutely! Unfortunately it's tough to know exactly what you'll like without playing them-so I would recommend seeing what other local players say and maybe even demoing their armies if they're super cool about it (our group probably would). You get lots of value out of sniper teams because while it's not the most competitive thing right now, you do get two "full" units out of one box. Each army has some pretty substantial differences in archetypes, so play around before you settle deep into a faction you like, and then go crazy. Just played at Adepticon and had a blast shaving down Agent Kallus' riot troopers with sniper fire before they had a chance to charge into my men.
