I think that background story is awesome as well as some charters ( you got to love Leman Russ or Yarric ).
As for downside, very few races. As well as discrimination of some races ( like xeno races and their codexes who are 3'rd or 4'th edition while the Imperial ones have 5th edition ).
As for other things - some rather stupid GW moves ( like Suqats being "eathen by Tyranids" and then that Hive FLeet just vanish? Or not giving the copyright to Blizzard but giving them certain rights to make a universe with similar settings ). And some people taking their fan base VERY seriously, like Beef for example: "Tau are the best, trololololololololololol...."
So what do you think?


For Emperor and Imperium!!!!
None shall stand against the Crusade of the Righteous!!!

The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is....basically himself?

We were wrong. It's not the 40k End Times. It's the Trademarkening.

I am at least moderately sure namedropping a poster to make fun of them in your opening post is against the rules, and I am absolutely certain that it is in bad taste.

Ok I am an Imperial fan, that's true... but I don't implement that Imperium will kill all. I am realistic about that.
But I am Eldar fan to, Tau to. Just not as bug as Imperial one...
