LotD is technically a codex. I don’t think they have anything that prevents them from auto-looseing turn one, as they have to DS everything.

Probably CSM's followed closely by Orks and IG, with BA's and DE not far above (though they at least have access to a handful of "ok" powerful formations even if they don't match the newer books).

The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts. |

CSM. Actually, I suppose it depends on what your definition of "is" is. 
Certainly not Orks. Orks is neva defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin' so it don't count. If we runz for it we don't lose either, cos we can come back for annuver go, see?!

I wish I was smoking something, but they are officially a codex. I think it was actually in print, and not just an e-book at one point, but don’t quote me on that. But it was sold as a codex, not just a dataslate, or a supplement, or anything sane. The fact that they weren’t removed from the marine codex was a pleasant surprise. Blatant cash grab from GW, and one I’m still a little torqued off about. I can kinda see a Imperial Knights book, even if it is basically another mono-unit codex. But the whole idea of having a full codex for one unit makes me ill.
A quick search looks like people were talking about it circa March of ’14. So not that old.

I wouldn't count single unit or fringe books like LotD or Inquisition, etc... Even Harlies aren't really meant to be played as a stand alone book and are meant to be allied onto another army for support.
Going by the 'off the shelf' books you can get from the local GW store, Chaos Marines are easily the outright worst stand alone codex. Even the oft lamented Blood Angels will kick the living snot out of all but the most min/maxed net-listed CSM list.
No formations or alternate FOC, limited equipment options, overcosted across the board, an assault army that can't viably get itself into assaults... No one is worse off right now than the poor Chaos Marines, with the sole exception being anyone who tries to start a new Sisters army! (only because it's damn near impossible now to get your hands on half the models - their list itself is again, much better than anything CSM's can put down)

Without FW, it is easily CSM, which is how I made my vote. I don't count the LotD as a codex so much as a Dataslate.

With FW, I think CSM are better than BA for sure. Especially right now with the helldrake doing work on scatbikes and DA bikes. And bikes in general.

SoB may be rare, old, expensive models, outdated in design and have almost no list variation, but they actually perform okay with melta bumrushing.

Imperial Guard. Our armour is terrible and the only thing worse than it (IE, the only thing it works against) is the Lasgun - otherwise known as our main weapon.
Our units are overpriced, our latest codex was essentially one massive nerf from the old codex, our weapons are mostly useless.... Look, there are hundreds of threads on the subject, do I really need to go on?
