Poll: Warhammer 40k

[Naheal]

I'm partial to the Eldar. Despite the entertainment from the Orks, raw killing power of the Chaos Marines, and the sheer awesomeness of the Tau, I can't get past the idea of being... well, space elves.

I'm interested in hearing what other people have in mind as their favorites

Im building a chaos army atm - Emps children

 

[TechNoFear]

I have a collection of over 1,000 fully painted models from all the races, so I just play what I feel like at the time.

A bike based army of space marines is my current favorite.

Tyranids player here, nothing says victory like breaking a man's spirit by just setting up your army.

Imperial Guard.

Considering every monster / horror / superhero movie shows the military being powerless (usually resulting in a few unlikely heroes saving the day), it's nice to see the horrors of the galaxy crushed under the bootheels of ordinary men and women.

Just like in star ship troopers

The lack of Inquisition in the poll saddens me. However, even if they were there it wouldn't matter: Tyranids = the sexy. I cannot wait until January, when their new 'dex comes out.

Where the hell are the TAU???

EDIT:
NVm you just added it

Wankhammer? Only decent race is the Tau. At least i can sort of sympathize with them. And with Imperial Guard (a bit). Everyone else is batshit bonkers,and wants only one thing - kill brutally murder everyone else.

And it could have been fun to watch if everyone weren't taking it so damn seriously.

Unfortunately, I couldn't add them if I could. Seems that I maxed the options just with the better known (Dawn of War) races plus Tyranids.

Orks is da best boyz of deze gitz, dem runty boyz get stomped good by tha orkz.

But seriously, Tau have nice models, and are fun to play, if you like a sort of mechanised force give them a shot, I personally think they have some of the nicest looking tanks and variety in the game - but they easily have the worst back story of the lot, seriously.

If you want just a 'cool' army, to collect and paint, I recommend something like Tyranids, nice back story, cool models, and fun to play. Of course if your a real hobbyist imperial guard is a good one, lots of tank models, INSANE variety of forces to choose, and they get a lot of bang for buck.

One race to avoid is necrons, I've heard from necron players that they can get really tiring to play, very little variety apparently.

.....better known races?! The Tyranids are arguably the race after Ultramarines the Space Marines in terms of their recognition. You, sir, have made me a Sad Panda.

 

[IshFish]

that was awesome Naheal!!!

 

[inflamessoilwork]

Chaos is always fun, BLOODTHIRSTER!!!!!

The MI had power armor that would put anything in 40k and most other settings to shame. It would be like if the Imperial Guard had Terminator Armor with jump packs, mini nukes, storm bolter on one hand and a plasma cannon on the other.
