Poll: Your Warhammer 40K race?

[Merkavar]

Stop poking me (woops that warcraft orks)

Yeah they dont say that in DoW games.... They do however say "Who's dat talkin?!" when you select them

orks are just so much more enjoyable to play.

with the green tide, the waagh and no mention of heretics and gods every 2 seconds.

The necrons FTW because.....well they are simply


ASSUMING CONTROL



See what I did there?
Anyone get the reference?........anyone.......no???

Imperial Guard:
Their lasguns aren't meant to kill so much as distract the enemy with pretty lights while basilisk artillery light up your base from half the map away.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Well it's fairly obvious from my avatar

Eldar for me, all the time.

I love everything about them from how they play to their lore.

Behold the fiery destroyer of worlds!

You grot lover
Ork are made for fighting and winning
Stop poking me (woops that warcraft orks)

Winning you say? Just got a mental image of Charlie Sheen as an ork.

Necrons have the best fluff i think.

 

[Still Life]

Necrons.

Death awaits...

 

[Ixnay1111]

Imperial Guard is winning the poll? I didn't expect that, i hate the Imperial Guard

Space Marines are just the epitome of bad assery, but the Tau are my favourite

 

[FarleShadow]

Tau, because they're the only one with any sensible battlestrategy that doesn't involve mindlessly charging into battle and losing half your troops.

Orks are fun though, for a 4chan flavored battle.

Also, these are the videogame versions, screw tabletop nerdfests.

 

[Bolleman]

I haven't done much other that the Dawn of War games, but mostly I play the Chaos Space Marines, there's something oddly compelling about controlling an army of fanatic psychopaths.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

 

[ELD3RGoD]

Guys are coming up with some good points and I think you have helped with my reasoning behind being apart from the Tyranids. As for the Chaos, I have no idea. They feel much weaker than the Space Marines and I find that their leaders are weaker and their units feel much more expensive than the Space Marines. Hmmm.

Also, What is the story behind the Tau? I never looked up the Codex but someone said they were made in the lab by the Eldar and others have said they appeared from the warp. I'm confused?

 

[Arkynomicon]

Meh, no Dark Eldar option.

 

[ELD3RGoD]

Also, sorry for the double post but I didn't have enough spaces to include Dark Eldar, Sisters of Battle and so on, so, just say if you prefer them and vote for the closest race to them.

 

[Amazigh]

Chaos is the only true answer.

That said, I like all the races, but I love me some Word Bearers.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Marines :Blood Angels. Send Mephiston in. Bring him out. Rinse, repeat.

Don't like him for just one reason: no inv save, granted he has 5 wounds, but I still have mixed feelings about him. Go Sanguinor!

Space Marines, I love the Dark Angels. They are just awesome!

Tabletop: they suck! Ravenwing is so overpriced, Deathwing stormshields are worse than everyone else's, and Tac squads are, on average, 15pts more expensive than the vanilla equivalent. The only thing they have going for them is Sammael's personal LandSpeeder. Nah, normal marines get the same job done only with more models and more punch.

However, back story is very awesome indeed... huzzah, a return to feudalism, how English!

OT: For DoW1: Necrons, only they could shift their entire army in infiltrate mode with (albeit a slow moving) powerhouse of a vehicle, and theoretically exceed their unit cap to infinity. Orb of Resurrection FTW!

DoW2: Eldar, Warp Spyders, end of story.

Tabletop: Grey Knights! Terminators as standard troops?! Fuck yeah, and Nemesis force weapons galore, and Draigo is pure 'kickass' in a can.

Xenos-wise: Eldar, jetbike-Seer Council ruins anyone's shit.

 

[Hungry Donner]

No Inquisition?

Oh, we have ways of dealing with people like you.

 

[Griffolion]

Eldar FTW , i have a TT army of them too, they are a little better on there than on the game, on DOW2 they are horrendously underpowered compared to the other races. Then again i've never been good at RTS's.

 

[cplsharp]

In game, its imperial guard for me, i like to feel the odds of me winning a fight are fairly low and imperial guard always provide on this front.

but in tabletop i love tau, hai eldar squad.... DEVILFISH!

If I remember, the first edition rules made them pretty beefy! But, as you said The back story is awesome. Main reason I picked them.
