Poll: Which warhammer 40k race should i be?

[ihazawii]

People here seem to really enjoy the Tau

 

[UnSeEn60]

I notice you didn't mention Chaos Marines. I'm quite sad now

 

[Andantil]

Spess Mehrens!!!

or Tau, they're fine too.

 

[Starke]

Of the three, I'd say Tau are probably the most interesting to use, but on behalf of my Dark Eldar I must ask, ever considered "Renegade Tau"? Screw the greater good I fight for my self? Indulge in excess, forget the empire? No?

Oh well...

Well... it is only a mater of time until we see some kind of chaos tainted Tau... I'll admit, I never thought of it before.

see Im a person that wants to fight for the good of his people, i dont like the ideals that the chaos bring to the universe, its a personal choice but yeah

 

[Dyp100]

Daemonhunters.

There old and they fail, (or so I figure) but it's rumoured a new Inquisitor codex is coming out.

Also, no Space Marines?

the space marines are too boring for my liking, they are the generic human special tasks force, and they seem to hyped for battle for my tastes

 

[Daezd]

Orkz.



...


Uggghh, fine.

Since you hate fun so much I'll recommend Gaurd because who doesn't love throwing tons of dudes at the enemy?!

The bad guys, that's who!

 

[ihazawii]

hey, i never said i hated the orks, i actually think they are one of the better races. But then again their ideals dont settle with me

Yeah, they are a bit hyped. IDK about being generic, you need to get into the fluff of something that isn't Ultramarines, the poster boys. (Who are boring, epic win forever guys. The new fluff writer is a player, so he hyped them up in the fiction so much.)

Also, it'd be careful of the Tau. ;P LOTS AND LOTS of fluff point at them being made by the Necron. 8D I love the hints, can't wait for the new Necron codex. (Hope it isn't ruined, though.)

 

[ShakesZX]

Demonhunters. just for the namesake

 

[Rainboq]

Daemonhunters, WE NEED MORE!

 

[rees263]

Seeing how i dont really know much about the unit power and what not, Are the tau tanks comparable to the guards tanks?

It's not a very easy comparison to make actually. All the Tau vehicles are grav-tanks whereas the Guard are all on tracks. You do get a lot more variety with the guard tanks and the Leman Russ (guard heavy tank) is tougher than anything the Tau has. They are probably the 2 armies that can throw down the most firepower though, so the comparison comes with the Tau having on average stronger firepower at the cost of numbers.

Of course the Guard get the Baneblade so... yeah.

Spoiler: Baneblade

By the way, I voted guard.

 

[DefunctTheory]

For the Golden Throne! For the Emperor!

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

You realize that the Demonhunters are most likely getting redone within a year, or so I've heard, and they'll be getting a load of awesome new models, like plastic gray knights

Sorry to spoil the fun but:

Spoiler: Tau background spoiler from a Black Library book called Xenology

The tau ethereals are actually a sub-race of tau specifically engineered by the eldar to unify the tau race into an anti-chaos weapon. They use a pheromone control method to unify the tau that was taken from a species called the q'orl. Whilst this doesn't prevent the tau being necron constructs it does make it unlikely, the eldar being the one race left alive that remembers them from the first time around and given the eldar's knowledge of what pariahs are. (From codex: assassins and codex: necrons)

Damn, how could I have not heard of this?

I always though the Tau were Necron constructs, due to having no warp presence, and looking VERY similar to Necrons. Also, there unity stuff sounds very Necron-ish, IMO, and I've seen other evidence.

Hmmm, thanks for alerting me to this.

 

[ihazawii]

hmm, being a creation of another race is quite interesting, first time i heard about that
