Imperial Guard. They're the men, thats all. Just men and rifles and tanks. It's kindof uplifting to see their pure human spirit put standard men and rifles and tanks up there with super-advanced aliens and necron warriors etc.
Oh, and Baneblade
+yay me, I figured out how to tag something as a spoiler, all by myself XD

Imperial Guard!
Who cannot squeal with joy when faced with quotes like:
"No spreading out, no fancy stuff, just smash through. Let's see how those degenerate sophisticates handle a healthy dose of pure unreasoning violence."
"Give me a gun, a google-eyed alien to shoot it at, and I?ll die a happy man."
"Hold Fast!"
"They're killing us!"
"So kill them back!"
"Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours."

Chaos.
"Your Slavery to the False Emporer ends today!"
'Course, there are Space Marine quotes aplenty. Almost enough to bring my traitorous butt back over.
Almost.
"Death or healing, I care not which you seek."
It sounds a bit more heretical than it acutally is.
Soon though...Soon...I shall start my Daemons army. Nurgle/Tzeentch sounds like a lot of fun.

The Imperial Guard have always been my favourite army. I like the sheer firepower they can output, and the idea of normal humans facing off against huge alien terrors and eldrich abominations with nothing but rifles, flak vests and sheer grit and determination.

Meh... Videogame-Warhammer doesn't work for me. I like modeling and painting my miniatures, then playing the tactical game face-to-face with people for a much better social experience^^. And teh only MMO i really liked ever is Fallen Earth oO. I don't enjoy RTS a lot...
And ANYTHING ELSE THAN SPACE MARINES! I'M SICK OF THEM!

It was the fact that they were used time and again as cannon fodder to take down the toughest enemy strongholds with no acknowledgement of their efforts and sacrifices while the Imperial Fists swaggered around with clean shiny armour and perfumed hair with everyone singing their praises and admiring their fake tans and designer handbags....etherlance said:
Bitter? Me?
I've always liked the Tau as they are the the least flawed of all the races.
My favourite has to be chaos though. Who needs Baneblades when you have demonic creatures of the warp?

Great book. One of my favourites of the black library. I keep hoping for a Horus Herasy Iron Warriors book.dalek sec said:
They didn't just want glory! Also recognition for the lives lost slumming it in the trenches while the Fists sat and polished their horrible yellow armourIwata said:Hm... what reason would that be, other than "No fair, the Imperial Fists get all the glory while we get none, boo-hoo"!Triangulon said:
The only guys with a valid reason to turn to Chaos are the Alpha Legion (destroy Chaos from within) and maybe the Thousand Sons (warn the Emperor of the Heresy while accidentaly destroying his way into the Eldar webway).
The seige of the emperor's palace proved who was better at siege warfare anyway.I agree about the Alpha Legion and Thousand Sons. Have you read Legion? Kick ass.

They were my first 40k army and ive always had a soft spot for them.
Really I think all the races are interesting, that being said if I ever get back into the tabletop game I might well end up going Tau.
Space wolves lol but mainly the eye of terror ones i loved there armour where it was pieced together from chaos and there own. But i did like the nurgle hords.
