Oh i just lure them in with a few unsuspecting Guardsmen

Tau. Specifically for their naivety, misplaced optimism and generally good nature.

210% Agreed. Tanith first and only forever

Blood Angels. The flaw specifically. Death Company have to be one of my favorite units story wise. And I have a fondness for good old Captain Tycho. Guard second, and Orks as an enemy.

Chaos Space Marines.

They're like regular Space Marines, (Badasses in armor and don't afraid of anything) but there's so much more potential character depth. Whether they're renegades or fully fledged Chaos worshippers, there's tons of options fluffwise for them.

I really don't dislike any fluff, honestly. The setting itself is just amazing. Though, some of the Blood Angel and Space Wolf stuff has totally veered from what it originally was, but eh, them's the works.

No Sisters of Battle or Inquisition? Anyhow, Space Marines, Chapter 666, Grey Knights.

Chaos, because any kind of order is futile.

Luna Wolves\Sons of Horus\ Black Legion is my pick

Undivided
Betrayal
Brotherhood
The Imperial Truth
Abaddon's Daddy issues

No Sisters of Battle or Inquisition? Anyhow, Space Marines, Chapter 666, Grey Knights.

I thought about sisters of battle but I dont know anything about them, I actualy thought they were a space marine chapter

Inquisition just slipped my mind lol

Dark Angels! Robed monk dudes seeking to absolve a perceived taint on their honor with their history a reflection of one of my favorite times in history. Space Monks! Particularly Guardians of the Covenant as they spend as much time in study as they do in martial practice and combat.

Though I definitely want to read about theTanith's First and Only.

yes the Dark angels and Black Templars are my favorite SM chapters

Hmm...let me think...RAVEN GUARD!
IG run a close second because:
they are humans.
they have commissars (my favorite bit of IG fluff).
Gaunt is epic.
DKoK FTW.

+1000 to this.

WEZ Bez da sneakiest of da Marinezez!

Necrons, it is what little fluff we have that make us so intriguing.

I gotta say orks, because who doesn't love them? They personify everything 40k is! They fight, they are fun, and they just want to have an enemy to fight against, for competative amusement purposes. It helps that they are pretty funny (as far as grimdark can be anyway), and their 'rationale' sets the bar for psykic power. Orky ingenuity and kunnin and cleva gubbinz are the best explaination for all the ridiculous weapons wielded by every army anyways, but at least in theirs, ridiculous weapons make perfect sense as much as a librarian shooting lightning bolts out of his bum might to the more 'rational' psykic abilities of other races.

I don't remember the book, but there's a scene where a Guardsman who is out of ammo picks up a fallen ork's gun out of desparation, and it simply doesn't work, because he doesn't believe in it possibly being able to work like an ork would. I just love that so much.

I voted for Marines, because Grey Knights technically are Space Marines.

Praise the Emperor for his sacrifice,
as He endures so shall we.
We who are Hunters of Daemons,
shall strive in his name eternally.

We the Order of the Hammer,
shall delve into the Dark Shadows.
We shall seek out the Tainted,
we shall pursue the Vilest Evil.

It is we who stand guard,
our Eternal Watch shall not fail.
For we are the Ordo Malleus!

We Grey Knights are the Hammers,
we slay the Darkness without fear.
Founded in great mystery we were,
Chapter six hundred and sixty six.

Though on Titan we be hidden,
yet our eyes encompass the Galaxy.
No Devil shall elude our gaze,
no Daemon shall elude its Fate.

We shall be the Keepers Immortal,
all Secrets shall be our Knowledge.
We are the Guardians of Mankind!

Caution and secrecy are our code,
watchfulness and patience are our way.
Hidden from the Eyes of Chaos,
we strike without warning or dread.

Though we find ourselves in Shadows,
no Blackness will enter our Hearts.
No treachery will touch our souls,
no pride will sully our thoughts.

We shall be Pure amongst Impurity,
we shall be Innocence amongst Guilt.
We are the Imperium’s Hidden Saviours!

We are spread across the Heavens,
our watch is untiring and ceaseless.
The Emperor shall guard our Souls,
as we Guard those of others.

Our will shall be our weapons,
our faith shall be our armour.
Our minds will be secure fortresses,
no Temptation will weaken our resolve.

Though unnumbered lurking perils await us,
our blades will ever be ready.
For we are the Emperor’s Vengeance!

Masters of all weapons are we,
no defence exists against our wrath.
With the Nemesis shall we fight,
with an Aegis to shield us.

In bloodshed shall we save Mankind,
Death shall be our Everlasting Creed.
War Unending shall be our Fate,
in battle shall we be steeped.

We shall be unstinting in Hatred,
we shall hunger for Holy War.
For we are Swords of Justice!

When all flee in hideous disarray,
strong and sound shall we stand.
Cowardice is wholly unknown to us,
our courage comes from the Emperor.

Unbowed and unshaken against all foes,
we shall claim victory with blood.
Steady and surely we hunt them,
those who dare oppose our wrath.

Death stalks us in many forms,
the grotesque and the utterly inhuman.
We are the Bringers of Hope!

Bloody battles unending constantly await us,
redemption the reward for our vigilance.
When Possession rears its unspeakable head,
ours is the blade that descends.

When Empyrean Horrors invade our realm,
our Exorcisms shall hurl them back.
There is no Chaos spawned horror,
which can resist our indomitable anger.

With undaunted courage we shall prevail,
no arcane magicks shall overcome us.
We are the Bearers of Victory!

No corruption shall blemish our Galaxy,
no Immaterial Fiend shall be spared.
No Malevolent Spirit will oppose us,
no Creation of Sin shall survive.

No Unholy Deed shall go Unpunished,
all Blasphemous Acts shall be Atoned.
No Spawn of Misrule shall avoid us,
all are banished to the Void.

Nothing shall evade our Cleansing Fire,
not Daemon or Spawn or Renegade.
For we are Mankind’s Divine Blade!

Heavenly Blessings are laid upon us,
the Warp is ours to Tame.
Though Sorceries shall be against us,
no Witchcraft will bring our Doom.

Though Spell or Incantation blocks us,
the Emperor shall see us Victorious.
No Hex can overcome our determination,
our resolve is strong as steel.

Sigils and wards shall watch over us,
prayers shall serve as our Guide.
For we are the Emperor’s Chosen!

There is much darkness awaiting us,
yet the Emperor lights our path.
Falsehood surrounds us at every turn,
yet no Traitor shall confound us.

No despicable trickery will thwart us,
no Damnation shall bring us low.
There is no peace for us,
for an eternity we will strive.

Though mere mortals in His service,
everlasting shall be our True Duty.
Et Imperator Invocato Diabolis Daemonica Exorcism!

Sisters of Battle. They show what a human can do with good equipment, good training and good morale. The Space Marines might be better, but they're also psycho-indoctrinated, physically altered supersoldiers, not really human any more.

Plus, it's nice to read stories with female protagonists.

Plus, hot babes in lingerie armor is just hot Haha, jk... sorta

I'm not much of a reader, myself, but my favorite fluff is the Orks. The imperium as a whole is also pretty good, but for a single race, nothing is so refined as the ork fluff. It know what it wants, and it always gets it, without a lot of extra garbage put on.

Plus, I love the whole psychic thing.

I hadda say Space Marines but more specificlly i like the Soul Drinkers Chapter, i just like the rebelious state their in and how they got there. The Imperium screwed them over like a real corrupt goverment would screw over anyone, But they still fight for a rightous cause. I also like the Legion of the Damned Fluff aswell, Warp Genetically Alter Super Soilders FTW!

Since I have posted this, I have began to move towards Imperial Gyard alot. Especially the Death Korps.
