Johnathan, you're saying you haven't won a 5th game... does that mean you've only played 5 games? If that's true then neither switching armies nor systems will help you. When I started I had quite literally over 100 straight losses, most of them massacres, until I finally started winning.
All I can say is the only way to start winning is to play a LOT. I wouldn't be surprised if you lost many many more games before you start winning. It's discouraging and frustrating at times, but eventually you get good. Once you start consistently pulling in wins you'll understand exactly where I'm coming from.

I get where your coming from, I've only played a few games of 5th its true, but I've played well over 300 in 4th. I'm not one to keep stats but I've say over all I won more then I lost with Tau and SM, and lost more then I won with Eldar. In 4th, My Tau set up was brutal against Chaos. I literally never lost to them in around a hundred games. I think my closest was a 500pt difference in a 1500 game. But then to go from 4th to 5th and get slaughtered that horribly. I get it was a tournament and the level was more then I was used too but still. I don't kow if you saw my post over on TO about it or not but the key time for me was actually vs. orks.
on the left side of my board I had 2x12 firewarriors with pulse rifles, and 3 crisis suits with plasma rifles and missile pods. Its something like 60 shots at close range. He sweeps up some ork nobz in a truk with a boss. I blow the truk up from afar with my commanders missile pod. He careens right in front of all that stuff. About 10" from everything. I, in the words of some movie Roman, unleashed hell. I ended up killing 1 ork and wounding 2. Out of 60 shots!! From there it was simple for him to dismantle me.
The Ork game before that, I killed a grand total of 12 orks I think. Out of 70 or so. The Chaos Marines I did a lot better against but it still was a massacre. And I've played probably 15-20 games vs. sisters of battle with my super novice wife. She cleaned my clock all but once. In 4th I was force to play down to give her a shot.
So mostly I'm fed up with 5th rules. Plus my son really wanted Lizards, and the wife has a thing for horses. So for Christmas we got the Battalions for Brettonia, VC and Lizardmen. I've only got in about 1/2 game so far, and even with the pausing ever 5 minutes to check a rule I had a ton of fun!
Now all I need to do is lay my hand on some vampires and about 90 more zombies and i'll be good to go for about 2k. Right now I'm substituting a black knight champion for a vamp...
