Poll: Whats your fav Race in WH:40K

[GonzoGamer]

Orks: they remind me of the kind of guys you see on Junkyard Wars, Top Gear, and Survivorman.

 

[Nouw]

Space Marines. Their armour is adamantium!!! For those who don't know who it is,it is very strong. If you get say a metal sword trying to break adamantium its like trying to break concrete with a stick.
Also Space Marines are super-patriots. They are soooo powerful but expensive.

1.SpaceMarine
2.Tyranids
3.Orks
4.Tau
5.Eldar

Another reason why orks are my top fav race is because of their quotes.

"Orks orks orks orks orks orks"
"WAAAGH DA ORKS! WAAAGH!"
"WERE DA FIGHIN JUICE?!"
"Tis is gunna hurt...Alot!"

 

[LockHeart]

Imperial Guard, just for being the average poor sod on the frontline fighting against all sorts of horrible... things...

And they have massive armoured uber-tanks of death.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Imperial gaurdsmen

"Because there just like meeeeee" at least that's some peoples opinions

personally i just like TANKS!

Yes they have Awesome tanks!
And they look Russian in some ways, which is cool.

 

[InsanityWave]

i absaloutly love necron their awsome XD next to chaos dunno why i love em, not too great on orks though =/

[FURY_007]

Gotta go with my army i play in the TT game, Imperial Guardsmen, Why? because strength in numbers, gotta break 'em down in a war of attrition, oh, and pie plates of death from basilisks ad leman russes

Tau.
They are what got me started.

Same. The Tau just have an aura of coolness around them, and Space Marines, while cool, are dramatically overused and GW seems a bit biased towards every race that isn't Space Marines. So I pick Tau because they manage not to be Imperial in any way, and because I love firing into melee. Second would be IG, though. I like math a lot, so they're the logical choice, because you're just working with numbers.

Tau are awesome. Even though they suck at close combat, they make up in sheer firepower. I remeber in SS I had 5(The max for the air units for tau) Baracudas(SP?)and destroy a baneblade pretty fast. Im not 100% sure, but I think they computer had like 2 more(playing against 3 IG on Hard) I might have killed all 3 before their soliders brought me down. But it was awesome, though we lost that game.

Try DC, I've said it before, but I liked it ten times better than SS.

I say the Space marines. In DoW they're the most adaptable army, so no matter what situation you put them in they'll have a way out of it. They have the ultimate uber-killer squad (assault terminators), and they're the only army that can drop a whole battle force smack dab into your base without them needing a building in it.

In later games they aren't the only ones, however. Eldar can send their army right into your base with one building, that can be invisible, that only costs 100 req. Tau can have an army in your base before you knew you were playing against them (Devilfish, Stealthsuits, and Fire Warriors behind or in the Devilfish.). Lastly, Orks have an army wherever they go, so that's another exception.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

WAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!! *ahem* Yeah, I like Orks.

 

[Posh-Tim]

Chaos because they are blood and guts, classic bad guys to a fault and over probably the greatest variety possible in the 40K universe.

 

[ThatJoelGuy]

I'd have to say the chaos space marines for me. they are cold and calculateing and i have always enjoyed Melee combat in rts's anyway. Plus possessed squads rule

 

[Sinisterspider]

love eldar, so sleek and shiny!

 

[jaccy]

i've tried 'nids, tau, necron, space marines and a bit of chaos. but the overall fave is the imperial guard! so much fun on the table when you set out like a line of 200 men plus a gajillion tanks with naff-off massive guns and have a squad o stormtroopers armed to the teeth and all sorts. marines are like almighty, but just the mass of models on your side of the table when you use the guard is always a bit of a giggle

 

[Internet Kraken]

Where's the love for more Dakka?

 

[Puppetmaster24]

You people are all wrong the real best race is in fact SQUATS, and if you don't know what they are google cannot help you. you all shall suffer death by ignorance at my hand HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!.
and people who think dawn of war is a good game should really re-evaluate what they think a good game is, dawn of war eats shit sanwiches when compared to the tabletop game.

P.S and if you think we are sad you should actualy meet some of the people who collect. a few have girlfriends (shock, horror), and some are even married to very good looking people.(that means they had to go out and actually meet girls which is more than some of you can manage)

 

[Schnippshly]

Nerrrrcons?
Tau look really cool. Well, their armor looks cool, they look stupid without the helmets. I hate hover tanks but I like the Tau so their hover tanks are OK with me.
The Imperial Guard is awesome, too, probably because they're humans but they're not wearing stupid-looking, oversized armor.

Ok first asshole, DoW is a good game. I ask to not start anything, so if you didn't like DoW you didn't have to open your mouth saying it sucks ass. Its what you think, and this is a Whats your fav DoW thread, not what do you think is better TT or DoW. 3rd, Who said people who collect TT pieces are sad? why start something when no one said anything about it? So please..next time keep your mouth shut when no one said anything about the TT or about the players.

My favourite race was the 3rd edition Tau, when they were still idealistic and seemed to be the one race who presented a bright future for the universe. Now they've given in to the temptations of brainwashing and worship the almighty space pope they just seem so much less appealing and unique.

My favourite armies for aesthetic and backstory are the Iron Warriors and the Death Korps, both from their Imperial Armour days; both orientated around siege warfare and extensive use of bionics to survive inhospitable environments. Why don't they make cybernetic horses anymore?

I voted Tyranids, mostly because they're my main army but also because they present a great opportunity to swarm enemies Starship Troopers style. They're the only army that is truly alien and therefore allow a great degree of scope for conversion and generally the creation of new organisms. Their styling as a horde army twinned with the fact that my common opposition is a guard army lets me style my army, in a manner of speaking, on the foreign nations invaded by the British in the colonial era. My current hive fleet, Cetshwayo, actually imitates Zulu tactics to surprising effect.
