Which 40K race do you side with?

[Thelittleshogun]

Tyranids.Than Necrons.Than Tzeentchian Chaos Space Marines...Odd how I pick the most genocidal people....

 

[shadowsandwich]

tau band them up with the kroot and stick the tau on buildings and kroot on the ground and the tau kill them with ranged the krott savage them is close combat=win+there great vecils aswell

 

[Grey_Focks]

Tau. They just seem to be the most interesting of the factions, to me atleast. Not to mention they have the coolest hypocritical catchphrase of them all. "For the Greater Good!" they shout as they kill thousands of enemies.

Not to mention-

I can't fully decide who I like best. They all have interesting units, tactics, philosophies, histories, agendas, it's so hard to choose! Some of my favourites though would be;

Tau; For the advanced tech and their philosophies on how to wage purely ranged warfare. I love that idea.

Necrons; For essentially being unstoppable, Terminator-like death machines. I played them a lot in Dark Crusade.

Imperial Guard; For the tanks basically. Basilisks and Baneblades are amazingly powerful.

Orks; Because they're just fun and make me laugh. Who doesn't injoy a shotting DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA while firing a million bullets at the enemy horde?

Harlequins; Of all the Eldar, these guys are the best. Seriously, go read about them if you don't know them and then tell me they aren't badass.

Tyannids; I don't know much about them, other than they could potentialy be the biggest threat in all of the 40K verse, and I respect that fact. From a safe distance, of course...

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Even though Tzeentch is my preferred Chaos God; "Blood for the Blood God!" "Skulls for the Skull Throne!" and all that good stuff.

Tzeentch is the lord of change, the Blood God is Khorne.

 

[Yokai]

It's hard to pick just one. The Guard are a bunch of badasses, with special respect to Commisars Cain and Yarrick and the tactical genius of Usarkar E. Creed. The Space Wolves also kick massive amounts of ass.

And I like the Tau, because they're the only faction that even seems to know what it's doing anymore. Plus, they're sort of the nicest guys around. Sure, sterilization, concentration camps, and space communism may happen at times, but that's not that bad compared to what the other factions do to people. Besides, they're an overall morally competent race thrust into a universe of depravity, and they have to adapt somehow. Anyhow, they have giant robots and are pretty awesome. Also, Kroot FTW.

Too bad they an all their idealism are probably going to be eaten by 'nids.

Ive only played the Dawn of War games, but I'm all about the Tau. Ranged is my thing, I love there technology, the lack of access to the warp is very interesting in that universe, and they are probably the closest thing to a group of good guys that 40k has.

ORKZ!!
Strong, can make anything work and pure FUN!

Oh, can anyone numerically list the Horus Heresy series? I can't figure out which is the bloody second in the series.

1. Horus Rising
2. False Gods
3. Galaxy in Flames
4. Flight of the Eisenstein
5. Fulgrim
6. Descent of Angels
7. Legion
8. Battle for the Abyss
9. Mechanicum
10. Tales of Heresy
11. Fallen Angels
12. A Thousand Sons
13. Nemesis
14. The First Heretic
15. Prospero Burns

Did that from memory.
... There really is no hope for me. -.-

-EDIT-

Forgot to respond to the actual topic at hand...

Even though the Imperium has some pretty interesting factions, my allegiance is to Chaos, specifically the Death Guard legion of CSMs. These guys are the very embodiment of both inevitable decay and unbreakable resilience. Slow but nigh-unstoppable, and not confined to means of warfare armor can protect against.

I started with Tau. Loved them, but was seduced by Chaos (probably that damned Slaanesh!). I more of a Chaos Undivided supporter, but if I had to choose one particular legion of Chaos it would be the Iron Warriors. Always loved them, but the idea of making them look like Iron Warriors was daunting.

Ninja'd!!

 

[dalek sec]

So far in the Heresy series I've rather enjoyed "Fulgrim", maybe I have some joy in watching the legion trying it's best to be perfection fall so fall and hard into darkness strikes me as interesting.

Sucks that I have to wait until the Siege of the Emperor's Palace to get a Blood Angels novel. But I do like Sanguinius's small cameos so far. Especially Horus admitting that Sanguinius should've been chosen as Warmaster instead of him!

The guy Shoryuken's an Eldar Avatar of Khaine to death! Gotta respect that!

The last 3 on your list have not been written yet Sonicron.

Tzeentch is the lord of change, the Blood God is Khorne.

He said though and then referred to another chaos god.

Just saying

 

[slackbheep]

The enemies of the Emperor fear many things. They fear discovery, defeat, despair and death. Yet there is only one thing they fear above all others. They fear the wrath of the Space Marines.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

I think I'd either play as Space Wolves, since they're the single most badass faction within the Imperium or the Alpha Legion, as their backstory is pure awesome.

For The Emperor.

 

[not_the_dm]

Spoiler

I think this answers my question fairly well.

<3 Imperial Guard.

Agreed. sod the 15 hour life expectancy
Though I'm less of a tank boy myself. Harakoni Warhawks were awsome before the new codex.

Having read most of the Horus Heresy series I really like the marines now. Always thought they were too 2D before but that series humanises them really well.

And to anyone whos a TOTAL nerd. What was the name of the legion which turned traitor cos they believed the only way to end the civil war was to win a decicise victory and then let chaos collapse on itself? I cant for the life of me rememebr.

I think that may have been the Alpha Legion but I could be wrong

It was. Kinda messed up didn't they?

 

[R4ptur3]

i have my choice jsut based on dawn of war. Tau are the win. Their stealth and advanced weapons just make them seem awesome to me, as well as the fact that they combine their forces with other races. Space marines come close second though. Bring on the dreadnought!

 

[TurboFish2000]

Orkz hands down. They're not complicated in their motivation and to be honest with all the Imperium and Tau and Eldar bitching about spreading their divine purification the Orkz are much easier to get to grips with: Go kill everything, say "SMASH" and "BANG" a lot and above all have fun!!
