Tyranids.

In a game with tons of humanoid aliens, 'Nids offer something completely off-kilter.

Some people play to win, some people play for fun. Me? I play to kill toy soldiers.

Ignoring all rules & going purely on background. Dark Eldar, they just seem like the 40k universes ultimate "Whatever! I do what I want!" army.

I'd put Inquisition for a blanket term for Witch Hunters and Deamonhunters. Firstly because they're about to be a conjoined codex. Secondly cause they work in very similiar ways, arguable though I'd say so.

Also, SoB isn't an army. Yes, you can field a Witch Hunters army with no SoB. GASP I KNOW!

Nids are trying to grow and spread death, not survive. If they wanted to SURVIVE, they could eat themselves and simply stay on one planet.

Imperial Guard all the way. Mass Infantry, crap load of tanks and ruthless commanders leading it all. Also guardsmen are real heroes, takes guts to do what they do with know enhanced armor like the space marines.

How can you not include orks in the poll?! They are definitely the coolest army.

Guard of course. They are the embodiment of humanity struggaling to survive. They are not the bravest or strongest, yet they are us! How can you like anyone else when the Guard are the only 'pure' humans with no augmentation and aren't tring to destroy everything we know and love.

But all in all, I still will have a special place in my heart (and wallet) for Tau.

The best thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's far too late to stop reading it.

Actually, not so much. That wasn't a true invasion. A true invasion they'd be harvesting the area and such. In that, they simply wanted the Orb back. We both know how well that went for the Word Bearers.

They still harvested many of the guardsmen and what not. Though Burias had the best line in the whole book.

Spoiler:
When the Necron ship is comming down to the planet but before it breaches the atmosphere. Burias looks up at the swirling clouds and goes "Uh is this us?"

Even though i actually play Eldar and have a small amount of DA, i kinda reckon Chaos is the coolest anyway. They're huge, angry and spiky, making them awesome.

Agreed, though I personally disliked the ending. Burias was a favorite of mine. TT.TT
