Considering that im human, probability dictates that I (and all of you as well for hat matter) would be a lowly Imperial Guardsman.;

Dark Eldar can be completely regenerated. If even a scrap of their flesh is recovered, they can be brought back to a haemonculus, who tortures victims in front of their sarcophagus, and they absorb the pain and suffering which regens them.

I'm bending my head to try and make sense of this. At what point of their apparent death does the Dark Eldar's soul finally get claimed by Slaanesh?

Only Eldar get claimed by Slaanesh, normally. DE specifically try to avoid this.
If that bit of flesh goes on for too long, or the regeneration goes too long the pansy is gonna die.
It just takes a while for the wimpiest Chaos God to get a hold of their souls.

Tzeentch sorcerer. i would basically have a legion of 1k sons to protect me and gather whatever resources necessary for whatever catches my fancy

Ork.

Ideally a Big Mek in a Speed Freeks cult.

Fast, red and obscenely loud!


Failing that DE razorwing jetfighter pilot or ork fighta pilot.

World Eaters Bezerker, Whoop whoop!

Eldar souls can be deathly persistent. If they have the will power some of their soul can remain with their remains for quite a long time, and with the right catalyst (Read path of the renegade) people can be regenerated from thousands of years ago. But the shorter the time between death and rebirth the easier it will be, and the more sure you will be that you are reviving exactly what you want to revive (Daemons can hitch a lift on the rebirthing train).

Synapse creatures enjoy basically eternal life too. Not that they're sophisticated enough to appreciate it.

Dang I should have read your post before I voted. Because you are totally right.

INTO THE FIRES OF BATTLE!!! UNTO THE ANVIL OF WAR! I would be a proud captain of the Salamanders, one day becoming Forgefather, to find the primarch's gifts!

Librarian of a loyal Marine chapter.

well even though you havent mentioned then id want to a be a necron flayed on lord. controlling vast crazed flesh hungry robots to just tear aprt the enemy while doing the same myself. causing fear and terror and watching the enemy squirm at the site of me and my flayed ones tearing there allies to shreds

For the Tau, and the Greater Good.

Of all the factions they are by far the universe best chance for peace.

Well, I would like to be a member of the Space Marines, ideally a chapter thats a bit more compassionate towards humanity so either salamanders or Space Wolves (wait, Space Wolves drink, SPACE WOLVES!). But since the question is what would you be, it would either be a servitor for lipping off, or some guardsmen cowering in a hole.

Thunderwolf cavalry definitely. Armed with a thunder hammer and storm shield. Back by a wave of comrades and fen wolves. Modern technology meets barbarian warfare. I'm in

Slaneesh, killing, raping, torturing in any arbitrary order!
Gwar! Scumdogs of the universe

Would have to be a member of the Elysian Drop Troops, dropping from the skies with trusty lasgun in hand to bring death to the enemies of the Imperium!

THE IMPERIAL GUARD!!! SO I CAN DIE A HORRIBLE BLOODY DEATH AND NEVER SEE MY CHILDREN AGAIN!!!

It's OK. They will end up at the Schola Progenium where they will die training to be Commissars.

Being an Imperial Fist Sternguard Veteran screaming to the surface in a Drop Pod Combi-melta in hand would amazing.

I'd like to volunteer to join the forces of the Necrons. Obviously since we're positing ideal scenarios, I'd like to be given the premium biotransference treatment so I can occupy a body from the high-end courts of the Necron dynasties. One where my mind and personality are perfectly preserved.

Flesh is a relic, a mere vessel. I'll hand over my flesh, as a new future awaits me. Many millions of years of traipsing around the galaxy seeing wondrous things, and laying eyes on the awesome power of the celestial orrery. I would literally wait thousands of years for the crypteks to make the calculations when deciding to snuff out a single star, just to witness the event when they swipe it from existence.

If I had my choice I would join the bolter bit...I mean Adepta Sororitas. What can I say, there is something about a gal in heavy armour who always has a light.

Most likely I'd be a member of Chaos Cultists. More specifically a Plague Zombie.

of chaos i would either go Malal or nurgle.
Also i like the idea of being a spess mahrine, probably go renegade after a few hours due to boredom.

Hell yeah.

While you guys want to be space marines. I want to be a lowly imperial guardman who took out a space marine with a lasgun.

I would fight for Tzeentch, because there is no greater cause than the spark that motivates me each day to keep living, to fight for my goals, to enjoy even times of struggle because of the hopes and aspirations I nurse deep within my being.

I would like to be a pilot of the Marauder Destroyer.
Overgrowth version of A-10 Thunderbolt, the tank nutcracker.
If not pilot, then stealthy spec.ops with biiiiiig sniper rifle (and my trusty pet, stealthy wolf).

Green iz best!

Well if you were born into the universe of WH40K, around 70% chance you would be a hard toiling, oppressed, brainwashed, emperor-fearing citizen of one of the hive planets.
15% chance, you would be an ork.
14% chance, you would become bio-degradable material for one of the tyranid hive fleets (so basically, tyranid).

And 1% chance you could be one of the above list. With a higher chance for IG cannon fodder than anything else.

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!

I'd want to fight on the front lines of the most technologically advanced species in the galaxy. Pulse rifle in hand gunning down the multitudes of ignorant races and species denying the greater good when it's obvious that its the one true path. I'd want to be a Shas'nel (Cadre Fireblade). The very best at the Fire Warrior's art of combat. Brutally efficient. I'd still get to be in the heart of the fighting; directing those under me and greatly respected for giving up the prestige of a combat suit. Die for the Tau'va or die for nothing
