If you think about it, only one faction in the whole of 40K is even close to "Good" and that would be the Tau Empire. And maybe, just maybe, the Eldar.

Think about it-

Followers of the Emperor (Humans) Are sole content on destroying anything alien, heretic or machine; What I'm saying is, essentially, the Emperor is right-winged.

Next are the Necrons who, quite obviously, are evil. Set out to destroy all life, anyone who calls them good needs help. And if you ask me, they are most likely to come out on top.

The Orks live for war and killing, and are bred for the fight.

Tyranids are, by instinct, ferocious. Some may argue they are not evil, but... no. They have supposedly consumed galaxies, and the universe is better off without them.

Chaos is hell-bent on blowing up, burning, ripping and shooting everything. The living embodiment of evil, down to the last stinking Nurgling.

Dark Eldar are the pirates of space, with a sprinkle of witchery and a slight hint of chaos. You simply can't call them friendly.


As for the Eldar, they fight to save their dying race, only to save the craftworld.

And the Tau, they only fight to bring peace. But in the 41st millennium, guns speak louder than words.

What do you people think?

IMo youre a victim of Tau propaganda.

Remember, there is only war and eternal war as per the Background. No place for peace....

Counter theory:

"the only good is a galaxy bereft of evil xenos scum"

Or from an Eldar viewpoint - "the only good universe is a universe bereft of these base creatures"

Eldar are both defensive, yet genocidal.

S_P

all xenos deserve death, be it by holy chainsword or blessed bolter rounds.

by sympathizing with them, you have proven to be no better, and are a traitor to your race. Expect a purgation squad at your house within the hour.

Foul heretic! Those damned xenos has clearly gotten to you

I wouldn't exactly call the tau good in a good v evil sense. They sterilize populations that join the greater good that they don't want reproducing. Last time I heard that was pretty much genocide. If anything they are the ones most open to diplomacy. As long as it doesn't interrupt the spread of Tau influence.
