Space Marines ftw, preferably Iron Snakes, Ultramarines or Grey Knights. I have never tabletopped before, 40k or otherwise, but the books are just so damned good. I can't wait for the movie and the third-person game!

But no, I agree; Tau ftw. Especially the Kroot, what with their close quarters bonus and all that.
Well, in my case, I was 12 years old when I started playing, and I still have my Blood Angels. Most of my army belongs in a museum nowadays, and it's pretty cool to see my old minis on the table.Bato said:I have to say, none other than:
The orkz!
I never got why people like the space marines, so bland, so unoriginal, so overused, and so.. boring they're so boring.

You realize that being the best close-combat troops in a Tau army doesn't mean much, right? The Kroot are super-human in close-combat... by Tau standards. By everyone else's, they're still pretty sucky.HitsWithStyxx said:
Yes yes yes I know that they'd be terminated and whatnot, but imagine if they weren't...Iwata said:Aloran said:If one of those bad boys got the Obliterator Virus.Phoenixlight said:Daemon Hunters, I play them in table-top and just love them
Holy shit.
Besides, the obliterator virus makes them go batshit insane, so whether they'd just jettison themselves out or not. I suppose the others would sense the corruption though... Hmm...
Chaos, its not that i like them its just that you get captured by them or even fight it is genrally Hell, sure they may be human but they are Demonic and they actully laugh when they die so yeah i side with the race that can mutate,die laughing,have Gods that send your soul thorugh darkness forever and get turned into Demons if they are lucky.
I find it ironic that on the tabletop people will cry foul if you take a GK-only army, and overlook the fact tha they're playing a game against an army with around 20/30 models that aren't that much harder to kill than normal Space Marines.Hail Fire 998 said:
I've seen it happen more than once: "Oh, you play a Grey Knight army? CHEAT! HAX! Wait, I won..?"
damn... I have one hanging around my neck, but not implanted into my skin. Your devotion to the Emperor is unrivalled.Iwata said:tjarne said:

Tau, because despite being jerks, they're nowhere near the level of jerkiness displayed by most of the other races. At least as far as I can tell.
And Chaos is pretty neat. I especially like Nurgle because he actually takes care of his followers. Sure, his vision of "taking care" is infecting them with the most bizarre and hideous ailments in existence, infecting their very souls and twisting their bodies so extremely that little trace of their original species remains, but he only wants what's best for them.
Slaanesh is awesome in a really creepy way.
I don't much care for any Imperial forces. I get enough arrogant, "obey me because I say so" d-bags and their blind, unthinking followers in my daily life, and I'm just sort of prejudiced against humans in any setting.

I always prefered Tau, i liked the idea that a race that's only a fraction in age compared to humans (for those who don't know, humans have been around for a good part of 42,000 years and the tau have been around for only 6000) their technology is far superior to any other race. That and the ideology of being concerned with actions that benefit the greater good appeals to me.
On the other hand it may also have to do with the fact that in every movie/story/game where humans are portrayed alongside another race of aliens, they always come off as a bunch of self righteous, over zealous too religious for their own good xenophobes. Strikingly similar to real life mind you.
