Poll: Your Warhammer 40K race?

[ChupathingyX]

Why isn't the Inquisition in the poll???

HERESY!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't the Inquisition part of the Imperial Guard...?

No, not really. They serve the Imperium but in a more secretive way. They're kinda like a secret police, trying to constantly keep people from converting to Chaos and when things get out of control they bring in some extra firepower.

The Imperial Guard are the main military force of the Imperium.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

Imperial Guard. Where "Keep throwing more men at it till either we run out or they do." is not only a valid strategy but actually their plan A. And that sort of thinking will get you promoted instead of shot.

Guardsmen are awesome. They pretty much exist just to bleed for the Imperium.

"Statistically, you will almost certainly die when assaulting a well-maintained fortress with a competent commander. You must strive to make your death useful."

"Who told you to die? Keep fighting!"~ Commissar Otto Xavier

"We've run into scorpions the size of battle tanks, three men died from Eyerot last week. I've sweat enough to fill a lake, my boots got sucked into a sink-swamp and the trees are so thick in places, you can't squeeze between them. Emperor help me, I love this place! It's just like home!"

Oh yes, 80% of my army are the original models! The others are either conversions for Necromunda or some of the newer models. Though the last time I bought a new set of models was 1999! haha

... *speechless*

Fucking-A! Play... play now, and watch all other gamers just stop and bask in the awesomeness of your model collection!

LOL, I might be going into a slight WH40K-nerd state overdrive here...

 

[KiKiweaky]

Blood angels in the tabletop for me, I generally go space marines in dow2 aswell. I love terminators and assault cannons mmmm...

Haha I may have to take a stroll up to the local GW and have a few games. The staff their are always going on about how their Necron army is amazing. I think it would be a good way to re-introduce my army by battering them. Haha.

The only downside is the amount of time it'll take me to unpack it all! xD

 

[FenrirsWilly]

Had to vote Space Marines as Grey Knights aren't listed, but then again I'm a tabletop player, not DoW2. Second choice would be Eldar.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

No chance, there, mate! But still, pick up the new Space Marines codex and use the DA, it'll work (almost) just as well as you were used to. Do a little research, though, things have changed a lot, my friend!

Having said that, if your models are 1st/2nd Ed, then everyone will fawn over you for retro-ness. Good luck!

[lordlillen]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

Surely that's an advantage, you can take them out one model at a time with a smile that says 'this is mine, this is mine as well, this isn't yours, hands off, how much does this army kick your arse'... then really wipe the floor with them.

Anyway, Necrons (tabletop-wise) aren't that good any more. Get your game in before their codex gets a rewrite. Their army roster isn't well suited to the modern battle scenarios, so it'll be a good opponent to ease yourself back into the hobby.

OT (OT, here?!): Someone tell me the appeal of Orks in DoW1 as I found them so unwieldy. Oh, and did anyone actually enjoy playing as Dark Eldar, because I thought they were so weak all round.

 

[Karma168]

I'd have to pick either the space marines or the guard. I like making up a entirely new chapter/regiment with a full back story (i spend as much time in the army painter as the fighting); as the Imperium has the most literary material about the worlds, the people, etc. it's easier to create something decent.

 

[baddude1337]

Used to play a bit of tabletop with my Ultrmarines, but not much, more interested in Dawn of War.

My Favorited are a tie between the Necrons and the Tau. Both are awesome, have interesting back stories and great looking units.

Grey Knights a close second simply because of GK Termies.

 

[molester jester]

Tau: For the greater good. gotta love those space commies.

 

[Wondermint13]

Tryanids
om nom nom nom nom nom!!

Also they have Carnifexs.

 

[Lord Doomhammer]

This, do you need more reason?

Space Marines, through and through. I love the Warhammer 40k universe. The only books I really read nowadays are pieces from the Black Library. I also adore the Dawn of War I & II series. I've never played the tabletop game, mostly because it's too expensive of a hobby, but also because I don't really have anyone locally to play with.

Regardless, I love Warhammer 40K's space marines. They're the original space marine badass. My favorite chapter is the Space Wolves. Riding giant wolves and wielding frost axes: hard to beat. My second favorite race is Tyranid. They have a kickass aesthetic and they swarm. Whats not to love about a swarm of deadly aliens?

 

[Shikan1]

I am not yet in the games yet; but am in the process of joining. After researching the armies I find the Tau to be my best bet.

<- Guess?

Though I haven't played tabletop since 3rd edition, and never greatly got into the DoW games much either, was always more of a Final Liberation fan if I'm totally honest. Something about sending in Titans to WTFBBQ everything just makes it so much more fun
