Nids came way before the zerg. nids made there first appearance in the late 70's, and the zerg were supposed to be the nids because star craft was going to be a 40k game until GW pulled out of the deal.thomasvano said:
Which 40K race do you side with?

Either the orks or the Chaos Marines, Iron Warriors specifically
favorite imperial marine chapter would probably be the Ultramarines
and i realize this sounds like i only ever read the Ultramarines omnibus
but what can you do, fascinating backstory

No of these Theorys will mean anything when our beloved god emperor is reserrected (Leman Russ find the cure in the warp) or reborn (star child theory). Then our beloved emperor shall start a great cruade and all that oppose him shall be cleansed. Nothing living or dead can and with his great hammer and sword even the C'tan shall meet their end.
The emperor protects.
Why is there so much tau love on this thread? they are not grim enough, they are not dark enough. they have very little personality, if you look at other races they are just more fun. The imperial guards weakest quote is still better than the tau's best.
DA ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKS! WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!
Play em in tabletop, always underestimated, never eradicated.

Eldar, of the Ulthwe craftworld. What can't you love about an army of farseers and warlocks? In the tabletop game, once you take the two compulsory troops choices you can have a seer council of up to 5 farseers (6 if you also have Eldrad Ulthran) and as many warlocks as you want. my 1500 point army has about 200 points of troops and all the rest in the ungodly massive HQ unit.
Oh and also, being mostly seers, the Ulthwe can very accuratly predict the future.
But all that will not stop the Tyranids, Necrons, and Chaos Daemons killing all the other races due to either immortality or seemingly endless hords of badass monsters

As said by many, the Imperial Guard. No other race can drop that number of units, make it look epic, and still be equal and fair in a fight with the others. They almost seem like the average Joes going up against superhuman enemies. Makes me proud to send their massive tanks against my enemies.
How in the name of Kaela Mensha Khaine do you get six Farseers when there are two HQ slots?avatar_vii said:
OT: I'm an Eldar player. They're an interesting army to field.
Never played the tabletop stuff but I have kept an eye on the lore and I have the entire Dawn of War RTS for my PC (not DoW2 though since I despise it).
From this experience I personally relish playing as the Sisters of Battle. Their sheer fanatical and religious loyalty is enthralling plus there is nothing quite like purging the blasphemous heathens with holy flames in the mornin'.
My runner-ups are the Imperium and the Orks. The former just cause they're rather gritty and simple. They also feel accurate to how humanity might progress. As for the Orks well...they're Orks. Nothing quite as entertaining as orderin' a bunch of soccer hooligans around with scrapped together weapons & vehicles.

A pulse round to the face of a Guardsman, and he's dead.
A few more, you'll have killed an Ork.
The Eldar are fragile nigh-extinct bitches, and killing one of them doesn't take much effort. Pulse round to the face, done and done with the Eldar.
Hurl a plasma grenade and shoot a few more pulse rounds into the face of a Space Marine, bam, he's done for as well.
And to add to all of this, the above races are all evil as fuck.
For the Greater Good, I say! For T'au!

Chaos all the way. Everyone else just has this whole aura of "perfection" that I don't like. Space Marines are the most valorous people across the galaxy, the Tyranids all led by a greater mind for their insidious plans, and don't even get me started on the Necrons. In complete contrast, Chaos Marines are just a bunch of twitching maniacs who do whatever the hell they want as long as it involves violence. In other words, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!
Chaos. If the 40k MMO isn't some sort of quasi squad based MMO-hybrid like Tribes or Bad Company 2 meets Borderlands I'm gonna be upset. If they go pure MMO the odds of being able to play as Chaos is probably slim, but in a squad based shooter-MMO you could do all the races except Ork and Tyranid. (Because neither attack in small numbers, they'd have to remain enemy only factions)
