I find it ironic that on the tabletop people will cry foul if you take a GK-only army, and overlook the fact tha they're playing a game against an army with around 20/30 models that aren't that much harder to kill than normal Space Marines.Hail Fire 998 said:
I've seen it happen more than once: "Oh, you play a Grey Knight army? CHEAT! HAX! Wait, I won..?"
damn... I have one hanging around my neck, but not implanted into my skin. Your devotion to the Emperor is unrivalled.Iwata said:tjarne said:

Tau, because despite being jerks, they're nowhere near the level of jerkiness displayed by most of the other races. At least as far as I can tell.
And Chaos is pretty neat. I especially like Nurgle because he actually takes care of his followers. Sure, his vision of "taking care" is infecting them with the most bizarre and hideous ailments in existence, infecting their very souls and twisting their bodies so extremely that little trace of their original species remains, but he only wants what's best for them.
Slaanesh is awesome in a really creepy way.
I don't much care for any Imperial forces. I get enough arrogant, "obey me because I say so" d-bags and their blind, unthinking followers in my daily life, and I'm just sort of prejudiced against humans in any setting.

I always prefered Tau, i liked the idea that a race that's only a fraction in age compared to humans (for those who don't know, humans have been around for a good part of 42,000 years and the tau have been around for only 6000) their technology is far superior to any other race. That and the ideology of being concerned with actions that benefit the greater good appeals to me.
On the other hand it may also have to do with the fact that in every movie/story/game where humans are portrayed alongside another race of aliens, they always come off as a bunch of self righteous, over zealous too religious for their own good xenophobes. Strikingly similar to real life mind you.

It's actually not. I'm saying that and I love tau too.Payne121 said:

Tau.
The only race that accepts other races into their empire, more so then the EGs Ogrins. Im talking entier planets of kroot and vaspid, as well even some humans and its even likely that some eldar planets support the greater good.
so yer, i started collecting them a weekago 2morrow. My first warhammer40k army

Hooray, someone else who's come up with theory #2! I do think that there's something out there that totally effed the Tyranids, and that the Hive Fleets are the remnants of their race.
But, for side, definitely the Space Marines. They get plenty of vitriol because of how popular they are, but I do enjoy they're whole "noble defenders of humanity" schtick. And the whole "it's suicide, but by the Emperor we shall win" thing is pretty cool too.
I read the codex some time way back, the story was from imperial files that stated that they had discovered an alien race in early development that they were going to "cleanse" but was postponed due to a 6000 year warp storm. when the tau emerged they came walking about with high tech weapons and whatnot. Also considering they have better rifles, jet packs that increase mobility rather than let you jump higher in the air, and plasma weapons that DON'T over heat. They've made advancements that the Imperium has yet to master.Legendsmith said:

But, sides-wise, I have to go with the Space Marines. Despite the flak people throw at them for being popular, I do like the "valiant defenders of humanity" and the "it's a suicide mission, but by the Emperor we shall succeed" things they've got going.
Wow I never thought about that...Undead Dragon King said:
I mean it wouldn't be the first time the C'Tan manipulated a race.
Void Dragon and all..
How could the Outsider be the Hive Mind?
