Despite the love I have for my Eldar and Nids, I think the award for favourite Xenos would have to be Orks.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
Orks always ride in single file to hide their strength and numbers.

The Orks are my favorite because they're just so ridiculously fun.

Though fluffwise, they're pretty flimsy and ridiculous. Orks are better off thought about, and described, as little as possible. They definitely work significantly better, the less you think about them, lol.

What about Dark Eldar? And Squats? Or hrud? Jokaero?

Are we supposed to vote all Eldar together? Or have Dark Eldar been purposely left off?

Generally, I find it helpful to always leave an 'other' option in polls, to cover any contingency you didn't think of.

I think Tyranids, even though my friend annoys me to no end with his MCs... Necrons are a very close second, though.

They're still Eldar, evil or otherwise. This thread is about races, not factions.

Edit: voted Eldar, I think both varieties are badass in their own ways, Tyranids would be 2nd for me. I might be the only person who finds Orks neither funny nor interesting.

I've went with Tau as well but Eldar are a really close second for me.

I like Tau for their fururistic feel and technology. They always have a gadget for every circumstance.

I like Craftworld Eldar for their character.

I play Necrons and Eldar, but by far my favorite Xenos from a fluff standpoint is Nids. They are a true force of nature, just like Godzilla! They are neither good nor evil, just hungry. Here is to the hope that GW never ruins them like Star Trek did the Borg!

Tyranids because they are truly alien to the galaxy, possessing qualities unlike any other race and driven by a purpose that spells only utter doom for the rest of us.

I know they weren't "xenos" but rather "abhumans", I always favored the squats. Dwarf bikers with beer guts and sunglasses ? LOVED them.
I also kinda thought the Slann were cool but they didn't exactly have an abundance of "space slann" models.
Of the ones listed, its a toss up between elder and orks.

I figured that, but I wanted the OP to clarify so I don't throw his numbers off.
