I've played Dawn of War 1 and 2 to death and I love the Space Marines in them, for backstory the Imperium are awesome(but I havent read to much else besides theirs), and as for the tabletop wargame I have no idea, I just started getting into that so I'm looking around for a bit first.
1: The Imperial guard for their sheer determination, awesome uniforms and tanks.
2: The Orks. They're such a simple race. They just want to kill, they're happy when they murder things, mindless slaughter fills their minds with utter glee. How can you not love such madness?

Quantity is a quality of it's own:Toaster Hunter said:
Got to be the Eldar really. The first model i got was a jetbike. Aside from loving their armour style and the thought of striking scorpions getting up in your grill I just love their back story. Meh I'm a sucker for Tragedy.
Just wish they'd up their game and claim their rightful place as Kings of the UNIVERSE!

For the All Father! that is Space Wolves... but maybe not in a MMO as when you just start, the headstrong rule of the blood claws would make you charge screaming into the closest guy who looked at you funny...
But still, running around on a thunderwolf or zapping people with sentient lightning, pretty cool...

Holy crap I just read the backstory for them with this playing(last 3 min or so)Triangulon said:

and all I have to say is that was sad as hell.
What if it's a mix of 1 and 2, these are the scouting parties looking for somewhere to run to?Iwata said:And then of course there are the two theories, each worse than the last:Fenra said:Back when I started the tabletop game it was space wolves all the way, loved thier look and the fact that they opperated almost indipendantly from the rest of the imperium, functioning as packs in a very tribal way, just loved thier backstory.
Ever since DoW2 tho I've been drawn to the tyranids mainly because the idea of them fascinates me, consuming worlds for some unknown purpose, adding the dna and resources to thier own constantly evolving, they might not be as in depth history or personality wise as the rest of the 40k universe but like I said, just fascinating to me. not to mention 40 foot aliens with blade sharp claws kick ass
Theory 1- The three Hive Fleets that wrecked everyone's shit so far and have only been beaten back at great cost are just little tiny tendrils of a much-greater force to follow and nomnom everyone, or;
Theory 2- The sudden emergence of the Tyranids en masse means that, like wild animals in a forest fire, they are actually running away from something...
Take your pick. We're all fucked either way.
OK... I'm gonna just go ahead and call you on this bullshit... so here we go:-Undead Dragon King said:
1. the tyranids have a little pattern emerging, they're doing they're damnedest to AVOID any worlds with a necron tomb sat on it.
2. The Outsider hates ALL organic life, he was the only c'tan to desire the annihilation of ALL life rather than just SENTIENT life.
3. and more importantly: the Outsider is awake and active, he was probably the 1st to awaken to be honest, he wiped an eldar fleet out, single handed, leaving a single survivor. That appears in either the Eldar or Necron codex mate.
For me, it has to be the Space Soviets (t'au) or possibly the Chaos Space Marines.
Oh, and to all those wanting Deathwatch or a new Imperial Codex, that isn't space marine, Codex: Inquisition is on its way as soon as they can be bothered to publish it, though it may be 3 separate smaller codexes or one fucking huge one is unclear at the minute.
Space Marines!
or maybe the Tyranids.
These are the coolest concepts of WH40k, which is prolly why Blizzard based the terrans and the zerg on them.
The orks and Chaos are way too much fantasy and not sci-fi enough for my liking and I don't like 50/50 crossovers.
The concept of ork technology running on waagh belief is just too off. Demons are lame.

Bullshit, you say? I will simply refer you to post 265 on this thread. I won't bother to copy it all down here.NyteRaven said:
well theres a simple way to derail that the C'tan cannot interact with the warp and the tyranids are controlled by a large hive mind that causes a shadow in the warp due to its size not its absence. and the c'tan dont care about killing everything they just want some cattle to herdUndead Dragon King said:
Right now i'm split between the Imperial Guard, The Tau Empire and the Space Marines.
But I find them all awesome

I like Tyranids. So Alien-like (Literally, the Black, long-headed things with the extra mouth). <3
For the Greater Good! The Tau will let you acknowledge your wrongdoings and let you join them. After years of re-education, you might just be a productive member of the society. And, tech is where any army is at--range, stealth, and ambush are all great ways to play a game.
That was going to be point number 4, but I had a severe attack of 'oh shit, I can't be arsed to type any more'Spacewolf said:
I'm back now and I'm gonna say this to your little theory Undead Dragon King, it makes interesting but VERY flawed reading.
An extra problem with it :-
The tyranids are from another GALAXY, they'll only end up nomming they're way through every other galaxy in the 40k universe over time.
Oh, and not to forget the question of why the hell would the Outsider even bother? Alone of all the Star Gods, he doesn't care for the use of minions. He won't stop them from carrying out his will, he just won't actually make use of them.
...
...
...
And another thing, the 'nids are harvesting biomass, not soul-energy, it's soul-energy that the C'Tan are after, and biomass that the Hive Mind is peckish for.
So as I said, pretty and flowery bullshit, but it doesn't quite hide the fact that, I'm almost sorry to say, it's still bullshit at heart.
Thought that job was under the Followers of Slaanesh.Kelethor said:
EDIT: Thought I'd put up this link. Doesn't matter which faction you think is the greatest, this guy's Noise Marine squad is probably one of the most BAMF things in existence.
