In DoW, probably the marines. Anywhere else, either the Tau, or the Orks on account of their hilarity.

The Necron's. They are simply death incarnate. Regenerating, robotic undead that once nearly wiped out all life in the galaxy. If they manage to seize a planet, not even microscopic organisms would survive the genocide.

Although I admit the unit variety they have is much less than, say, what Chaos or the Orks posses, what they do have is impressive to say the least.

Also, their tech is badass. FTL travel without the need of the Warp, lasers that strip an organisms skin atom by atom, near indestructible moving pyramids. What isn't there to like?

Plus, any race whose mere presence on worlds make the Tyranid hive fleets actively avoid them is something more than just your average Greenskin or Heretic.

The Imperial Guard.

Space Marines Charge into combat wielding machine guns that shoot rockets, Prance around in impenetrable armour and fall from the skies in metal drop pods of doom.

The Imperial Guard on the other hand have basic run of the mill rifles, Wear Flak armour which in the WH40K world is next to useless and use mere parachutes. THEN they are ordered to face the Imperiums most horrifying enemies with insurmountable odds. They do this and Win.

Then those sissy Space Mahreens!!!1!!1!1one!!! show up and steal all the glory.

So I ask you, who is the braver?
I agree, plus all the tanks and sheer numbers is awesome. Whats up with those little dwarf guys with the sniper rifles, I've only ever seen one used.
Hush now.... They dont exist.. Do you want GW's endless streams of Rules Lawyers/Lawyers/Nazis Coming after you?!?!

Eldar, because they are the most skilled of all races, their Exarches have BS5, and 4 shots on S4

I love IG for one main reason. Apart from the few commanders like Gaunt the typical IG tactic is. "If I just throw my entire force at the enemy, not caring for tactics or the well being of my troops, will they kill all of the enemy before I run out of troops?" Hell if he goes in with a army 10 million strong and comes out with 5 troops (no matter their condition) and a lopped off tank turret then its still considered a win. Bastard will probably be given a medal for his masterful tactics.
Quoted from Dawon of War "When In doubt Throw more men at it."

Quoted from a fellow Imperial Guard Commander who threw three platoons (Apocalypse he had six.) at Abbadon merely to slow him down "Throw enough shit at the fan, Some of its going to stick"

I think I'd stand a fair chance.
Squats, Well they are these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squats_(Warhammer_40,000)

I think your thinking of Ratling snipers no? Yeah you can use them in an Imperial Guard Army but Squats were an entire army of Dwarfs.

I just love the "we may be puny but we can shoot the crap out of you from mid to long range and then back ourselves up with mechanised suits" thing that the Tau have going on. Tau for the win.

I recently turned to Chaos, and by the gods, it's wondrous. It's everything cool about the imperium but even more dark and twisted. My favourite model in the game, though, is the Penitent Engine, and that's Witch Hunters. The Witch and Daemon hunters need more love.

B.T.W. I hate daemons. It's rare to see one modeled that actually looks terrifying or even dangerous. The Forgeworld ones are better.

Another one that hasn't been mentioned much is the Ordo Malleus. They're so tough that when they come in, the Space Marine just get out of the way
