The Imperium, more specifically, the Ultramarines, one of the few actual good guys in the grimdark future of WH40K. (Not including Space Wolves and Salamanders)

Elfdar. Unlike most of the other races, they actually care about their own soldiers and people, instead of simply purging them off the face of the universe for looking at them slightly wrong. (I'm looking at you, Emprah.) They're almost just as planned as Tzeentch, and they might stand a genuine chance at winning the war if everything works out with Y'nnead.

The Imperium is covered in way too much red tape, and unless the Emperor wakes up, they're generally screwed. Da Boyz could definitely win if Gork and Mork called up a full scale WAAAAGH, but they're also completely screwed if Nidz start incorporating their genes. Chaos will kill you faster than a speeding bullet if you don't benefit your god in some way, and the Dark Elfdar are so low in number that they're really only safe in the Webway. Also, I am not fighting alongside another player named Faptau.

Although, if Imperial Guard aren't strictly NPCs in the MMO, I might go Death Korps of Kreig just because they're fucking awesome.

No-one stands a chance of winning the war, because of Grimdark.

Anyway, when were you under the impression that Elfdar were anything other than a complete set of bastards. They literally raped a hole in the fabric of reality (the Dark Elfdar are the ones who didn't stop the party which did this), and they only care about themselves in as far as it allows them to prolong their doomed species of complete assholes a few more years.

This thread is now under superstition of heresy, for not advertizing enough Inquisitorial troops.

It's got to be the space marines! But not just any marines, I'm talking during the Horus Heresy where brother turned on brother and legion fought legion. This was when the legions were at their peak all having hundreds of thousands of brothers in their legion and battles were of colossal proportions. Got to say my favorite legion is the Luna Wolves (albeit they are now a traitorous legion after Horus' fall :p) because of the Mournival and because of the members of it. Strongly suggest reading the Horus Heresy books, as they will describe everything in massive detail.

Oh no, they're as big of assholes as the rest of the galaxy, but they at least tend to look out for each other. That's more than most of the other races can say. Humans kill themselves all the time, and usually by the millions. Granted, the Astronomican is kind of required for Warp travel, but they purge way too many of their own people.

Also, no one stands a chance at winning the war, because then Games Workshop would have to come up with something else.

or maybe instead of imp guard bane blade the karashin special forces, they are cool too!

but as i already have an blood tearer army space marines (focused on melee or short range combat) ill go with the space marines. specialy assault marines and terminators

the imperial guard make the most interesting reading for sure, ghosts series is probably the best in the black library. and space marines are balls out cool I played them table-top and DoW (always felt like cheating tbh, esp with the grey knights).
but if I had to side with a faction it would be as part of the Ordo Malleus inquistor

Inquisitor Lord Hephaestos Grudd, addressing Colonel Molian of the 223rd Gudrunrite Rifles
"Look upon this hammer I hold before me, for it is far more than a weapon. It is a symbol of the Imperial justice that smites the diabolic enemies of the Imperium wherever they are found, just as I. Though it has banished even a mighty Greater Daemon to the hell from which it was spawned, it remains true and pure, just as I. Furthermore, it is a symbol of my order and my office, of the authority granted to me by the divine will of the Emperor. By that authority, I am commanding you and your entire regiment to obey me without question or hesitation. Advance, or it will not be daemonic blood that stains my hammer this day."

Codex: Daemonhunters (3rd Edition), p. 22
Sandy mitchells Ciaphus Cain series are pretty good too

Still better than most other factions. At least the Tau give conform as an option.

Tyranids. Was soo glad they got included into the game universe. I just love the way they pour in and swarm all under one single hive mind. You run out of bullets before they die (not really), but yes. As a huge Alien fan (just ordered my Burstday shirt from SplitReason), the tyranids come very close to looking like them. Favourite paint scheme for them was the Kraken. The space marines dont come far behind.
