I like a lot of different aspects of various races, but as for a favorite prolly Guard. Nothing says "good morning" like a salvo from an artillery regiment.
I loved the story about the orks that went to fight daemons though. I like the Wolf imagery, the Protestant Reformation imagery of the Dark Angels, ideals of the Salamanders.
Non-human I'd have to say Tau due to the Americana influences (new guy on the block, idealistic, high tech) though I do dislike the socialistic and mindwashing aspect of it.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in. |
