I had a passing interest in the tabletop game when i was about 14, i dont know any new races introduced since about 2002 but i used to play as Dark Eldar, almost everyone else i knew were either space marines or some hair splitting branch of the space marines like blood marines, space wolves etc etc, same costumes and everything just different colours
Dark Eldar seemed to have the most character about them

I've always loved the Chaos in 40K and collected them for a long while in college. I like the look of the armies they have. Never really got chance to dig deep into the back story through the novels though.
Now I just don't have time for the wargame any more as I'm always very busy at work and with family, which is a shame as I enjoyed the tactics of the game. Now I get my fix from the dawn of War games and still Chaos reign supreme in my most loved race but the latest game, Dawn of War 2 has given me a secret love for the Tyranids too.

what was their reason again?Triangulon said:
I remember all of the others just not them....
oh BTW i would side with the Necrons or the Tau simply because i collect an army of both of them.
Either the Necrons, because they are almost unstoppable, or the Tau, because their philosophy is the only one that is even close to being "good", also the Kroot rock your socks and then eat your brains.
Interestingly I almost never play either race in DoW 1, usually opting to play as the Imperial Guards, mostly because of the Baneblade.

That would be the Alpha Legion. Their reasoning was that by its own nature, a victorious Chaos in the Horus Heresy would destroy itself out of its own appetite for destruction, thus erasing it from the galaxy and allowing the races to live together in peace and harmony.captainfluoxetine said:
Just don't tell the Tyranids that.
Or the Necrons.
Or the Orks.
Basicaly, they sulked because while they did the besieging, other chapters, specifically the Imperial Fists, would do the actual conquering and flag-planting.etherlance said:
Besides being an ork player since 40k started, I appreciate their outlook, at least for the darkness of the far future.
Let's face it, everyone in that universe is screwed, but the orks wouldn't have it any other way. They don't fight for resources, territory, or their souls. They just fight because it's fun.

Peturabo got pissed because him and his boys get getting the worst missions going-seiges and garrison duty.
Also being a bit Paranoid Schizophrenic probably didn't help matters.
For me Angron and Magnus have the best reasons. magnus was screwed over by his Daddy for trying to understand his powers and Angron was forced to abandon his brothers in arms.
Aanyway to answer the question-Chaos. Or ORKSORKSORKSORKSORKS...

I second these statements. Tau and Imperial Guard are two remotely sympathetic sides here, plus Tau are somewhat nice (as nice as they can be in 40k, anyway). Or maybe Orks, i like vandalism. It depends on whether being... y'know... human disqualifies me from siding with Orks.Kilaknux said:
But you know what? This setting sucks for living in. Whoever you choose, you lose. When closest thing the setting has to good guys are weaboo space communists, i do not really want to side with anyone in it.
So fook thaht. I reject those sides. Instead, i choose something different... I choose the impossible... I choose...

See? Most of the times, there exists a favorable option. Now go, my beloved cutesy badasses!

Good god where do I start? I've played every race at one point or another except for Dark Eldar currently I'm playing an army I read about in the fluff.
An army which no one ever wants to explore, the human wing of the Tau Empire, the settlers from the worlds the Tau have conquered and the soldiers left behind after the Damocles gulf crusade. Basically it boils down to men (tau) with lots of mecks.
so... for the greater good... and all that. (At least until Ordo Xeno finally comes out... come on GW! Less love for the Space Marines and create/update the armies that actually need it!)

But its the same for the Dark Eldar and I've not heard anything about giving them an update... Also why is it that the Space Wolves have the most powerful psycher in the game? I thought that honor belonged to the Eldar by right!Iwata said:
