IoM shouldnt win, because their system is so wrong. But if they win, Chaos survives too.

True winners will be: Necrons, Orks and Tyranids.


And Chaos system is better?

Both should and would win: Necrons.
Should win because life would ESSENTIALLY go on as we know it (in the grimdark future). Necrons will harvest a huge section of the population, then go back to sleep. The cycle will begin again, with each race changing with every cycle. So orks may become smart, because the Necrons wiped out all of them except the wierdboys/painboys/mekboys and they would fear death, because the Nightbringer would come.
Orks are the only race who don't fear death because the Nightbringer ran out of time to go say hello, and then eat their souls.

They cannot taint everything.
You have to have a presence in the Warp or atleast emotions and the Tyranids and Necrons lack both.

Indeed. Necrons are deathless and so fear nothing from Nurgle. They cannot shed blood and so fear nothing from Khorne. They are constant and unchanging, so Tzeentch cannot corrupt them. And they feel no pleasure, no triumph, so Slaanesh cannot devour their souls, if they had any.

Could people please stop calling the Tau communist, that is still proposterous.

Our "brilliant" IoM is not doing well it is said in the rulesbook timeline that the throne is irreparebly damaged with the Emperor posibly dying real soon.

Chaos will die/everly decrease in power as the other forces wither away as, The Eldar are prophesized to kill their god, They need to feed upon the weaknesses and emotions of lesser races to keep their strenght, it will go wrong somewhere.

The Orks simply WILL not unite and will be the biggest nuisance/threat in the galaxy, (depends on actual numbers)

Nids are also speculation the fact that every race to date has fought them back doesn't help and all the apocalypsing doesn't help establish a good picture but their victory looks grimy, no one lives the hive fleet dies out and live starts anew is what i guess.

I don't know enough about the Necrons to give a verdict as they will also get a fluff-wash soon.

Eldar are simply dying out and only forstalling the inevitable, at the cost of others, for the Dark Eldar The same thing, only more sadist.

but since it is Should win in stead of will win, i'd go for the Tau, in my point of view there the only ones who will not bring about an apocypse on victory Or be the apocalypse for that matter.

They'll still create a whole lot more war than The Imperium. It at least is involved in defensive actions the vast amount of the time. The Tau on the other hand just want to subjugate everyone, with force if necessary, and some people don't take too kindly to being subjugated, thus they fight back, and thus there is war. Should they? Maybe, for the preservation of life. However, they will essentially crush diversity just as much as The Imperium has.

Very true however the Imperium has a reaqction to Xenos that encompasses something like this: oh look Xenos let's not say hi but immediately exterminate!!!
It's very true that the Tau can be somewhat overzaelous, but think the Tau have had centuries of negotiations with the Imperium (who also shot first) and about half the victories of the Tau were claimed because of careful negotiations plus the Tau aren't like, Oh you don't accept Ehtereals now die.(actually only inquisitors and Space marines do that about the Emprah) it's more complicated.

The Tau "shot" first by trying to subjugate Imperial worlds on the edge of space in a vain attempt to slowly take the entire Imperium. The Tau are more like -
"Join us please!"
"No thanks, my race has it's own asspirations and we'd like to pursue them at our leisure."
"Come on, it's great, here have this fancy Pulse Rifle"
"No really, it's fine, now please move on"
"Look buddy you're really starting to p*ss me off. Join us now"
"Hey pal don't start getting angry with us, we don't want to join your "Greater Good", the only people that it's "Good" for are you Tau"
"Oh yeah? If that's the way it's gonna be mate prepare to face our Ion Cannons"
"Well come on them chum, give it your best shot"
"All right we will. Prepare for subjugation, enemy of The Faith"

The eldar shouldn't win. They won last time and all it did was make them stupid then dead, so ya the eldar need to stay in time out till they realize how stupid they are.

Can the IoM actually win? I mean what would that look like? They already control most of the map. They kind of already won, this is it. It's just not a very nice prize.

The tau may seem niceish now, but we know all that good will and hand holding will fall out the window when they try to figure out how to run that crazy chair thing.

I vote for orks. Everyone may end up a brutal totalitarian nightmare, but at leas the orks have fun well doing it.



.....Oh ya, everyone else is evil and shouldn't win.
