Necrons. I thought robots were awesome, I loved them in Dark Crusade and since my bro said they were kinda old and bad I wanted to beat him with them anyway.

Space wolves because they are vikings in space that resemble my favorite animal

IG, really fun, tons of options. And when I get tired of losing or somebody gets annoying, I can bring a WAAC list to remind them what the score was.

Ultramarines for life!

Oh, and my IG beagles, they're my true love!

Imperial Guard. Why? I absolutely suck at rolling so having a large volume of shots is nice. Also, I love the models and range of competitive play lists.

Not enough orks! I play orks because of the relatability to orks and the sheer humorous nature of a waaagh! I'm big and mean n I has lotz of teef so I'm a nob

I run them forward, head on, and pummel the gak out of anyone in my damn way. That's how you do it. None of this sitting in the back with Long Fangs nonsense!

Agreed! I Hate siting in a corner, soiling myself so I charge!

Vanilla (Red Scorpions) What can I say? I fell for the poster boyz

Tyranids.

I used to play Salamanders in 3rd/4th edition, then went on a 4 year hiatus from wargaming. I always liked Tyranids, but there was aways some gap in the range with models I didn't like (2nd edition Hormagaunts were hideous, 3rd edition monstrous creatures were hideous, I left before they released them for 4th edition).

When I was considering getting back into 40k, I went to the GW website to see if they finally did a good range of Tyranids. Holy feth. They'd fixed all of the dud models from 3rd edition, including fantastic plastic kits for stuff I thought I'd never see in plastic (Carnifexes, Gargoyles, Raveners).

I didn't even care about the codex. I'd been told there were issues before I even bought my first models. But I've always been an aesthetics person instead of a competitive person. I need to like what I'm building and painting, and finally GW had an entire range that I liked completely. I can make a working list out of anything, but I can't make myself like painting models I don't like.

What do I vote? Army I play the most? Army I own the most of? Army I am currently playing? Army I am currently building up? Army I want to play next?

Maybe choosing more than one option would have been good for this poll.

ORKS... thats my main army ,its the army i started with all them years ago, and i've just added to them

Chaos Space marines,Space Marines,Tyranids/necrons ,blood angels,grey knights are my other armys but I love to convert stuff for my orks... and chaos... and them I've started to make a grey knights ork army.. just check out my Orks stuff

Space Wolves = Slap n' Tickle

I fell in love with the dark eldar fluff when my brother showed me 40k. Then i saw thier new codex and models and I was in love. Then i started to play them and I love how they play.Plus I now am srewing up everyones target priotory since each game a certain unit does something none of us expected (example was lilith seperated from her wychs and walked 6 inches away.She then ran through cover 6 inches to a squad of necron warriors.She charged them wiped them before thier attack.She then went on to soak up a unholy amount of shooting.)


Plus I love being my groups big bad wolf.

Tau for mobility and firepower, as well as the smug sense of superiority for using a crappy codex

Chaos. - I refuse to abide by the dividing of the codex and just say Chaos is what I collect.

Of course, in rules I have to abide by the divide of the codex (unless my opponent agrees to two force organizations from 2 different armies - that's how I get a bloodthirster skipping through battle with his best friend, my Chaos Lord.)

My armies are Chaos Marines, Daemons, Sisters of Chaos, Chaos Orks and Traitor guard. - And as soon as the renegades come out - I'mma want me some mothefucking cultists. - Th-Though... ...my traitor guard cover that really, don't they? - Dunno! - Depends what the codex'll hold.

Ay. Where're my Beastmen at? Anyone know?

GW seems strut by strut to be dismembering diversity and ability to convert some really crazy stuff. - Even some of the most loopiest looking races face some real restrictions.

- So I'm just gonna turn everyone evil. - But even my chaos are weird. - My Slaanesh have a "Toys" theme. Like something you'd see in James Pond: RoboCod.

PAYCE!

- Doc.

Chaos Space Marines because Red Corsairs are cool. Being a Space Pirate has never been so darn awesome. I used to play Space Wolves but I find them to be bland compared to Chaos.

I play Daemons mainly. Partly because a nicely painted Daemon army looks very striking and partly for the somewhat unpredictable playstyle. I always go for daring deep strike moves to surprise people which thankfully work more often than not.

Grey Knights, i started playing them when it was the old codex. I loved the mystery around them and the Inquisition, the elite and underestimated power they walk with (i had 2 purifiers sweeping advance Farsight and his 7 man goon team of suits)

Allways stuck to the nids myself. I enjoy the fact that they aren't from the 40k galaxy.

Essentially I like their lore and their models. They are just so different from everything else.

I play Space Marines and Tau. Space Marines are the army with the most support, since almost everyone else plays them. I like them because I never have to fear being left back in the dust in the great Codex renewal race. I like Tau, on the other hand, because I like their equipment. I also enjoy many of their units. Finally, I like the Tau because they have an Orwellian sense of evil about them that amuses me. I think this poll might have given you more accurate results, by the way, if it was a multi-option poll. (I clicked Space Marines even though I play two armies, since they are my first and larger force.)

tau cause railguns.

but seriously tho i like the clean look of tau, smooth tanks and battlesuits. very futury (yeah i make up words)

Ummm no black templar?

Primarily Imperial Guard right now. I love the tanks, the fluff, tanks, play styles (mechanized gun line), tanks and tanks.

Did I mention the tanks?

I play orks. Always have. the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH just appealed to me.

Heresy!!! Wait but I'm chaos so to most I'm heretical... Ah screw it BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

So yeah I'm chaos marines mostly because I like playing the bad guys in a story and I find the BL books favourite the loyalists too much. Also I have 4 gods, you have only one so I win.

HAH! The All-Father is way more powerful than your puny heretic gods!

Blood Angels. I started in 2ed, but have never been able to paint my own minis*, so when I saw that they were completely red I thought to myself "Here's the army I'm going to play!"

* I have a horrendous nervous tremor in both hands, and I'm too much of a perfectionist to ever accept the results of my own paint work.

I play Tau now mostly.

I picked them up when they first came out because they were shiny and new and we hadnt had a new army in awhile.


I continue to play with them now because if I win or for that matter DRAW... It means im a better player =]

Even with a loss I dont feel bad because chances are it wasnt my fault it was Mat Wards =]

I play Chaos marines because I love the fluff.

Just recently started a eldar army too for a different play style and I live their figures

I picked up aobr and now I'm going to paint those... then ill play daemons all the way

Imperial Guard. When I was first looking to play 40K it was a toss up between IG, SoB and Daemons. IG seemed to be the safest bet for a starting player since they have so many options and are fairly popular (and therefore well supported).

Once the postman drops off my little gift I'll be playing Daemons as well, though.
