That is a very interesting queastion i will have to get back to you on that

necrons all the way because they just don't stay dead. Not to mention they seem to be the most insanely versatile army outthere

Loyalists of Isstvan they have nothing to lose and everything to gain and they don't worship the emperor as a god but as a leader and they protect the Imerium of man, while upholding the old way. But the biggest reason is .... THEY KICK ASS.

Dark angels,so i can be a emo in 40k

Eldar for three main reasons: blending people's organs with Harlequins, zooming, and Bladestorm. plus theyre just cool.

Because you know how everyone loves bending organs.

I choose to lead Chaos Marines into battle because I love the idea of 9ft tall,super strong,ultra tough super humans who fell from
grace of doing good and protecting the Imperium,to becoming loyal servants of the Dark Gods of Chaos,hellbent on the utter destruction of the Imperium,this really appeals to me.

GLORY TO THE TRUE CHAOS GODS!!!!

DEATH TO THE CARRION CORPSE EMPEROR!!

Necrons. I fell in love with them on the last level of Dawn of War: Winter Assault. Seeing that Monolith teleport in, churn out two squads of Warriors, then begin wrecking my Seer Council, was glorious.

I did a bit more research on them, and discovered that they were the ONLY army in the game that Gets. Back. Up. My heart was won, as I like anything that takes care of itself.

I finally picked up the Necron 3rd edition codex, and was delighted to find their truly idiosyncratic range of models. Just about every non-MC or scarab is based off one original skeleton frame, with radical modifications and fusions, and each unit is designed to fulfill a unique role, using truly bizarre means that would only make sense to a race that hated all life but existed millennia ago.

Who but the Necrontyr would've decided that the best means to deliver a terror-squad (Flayed Ones) was to teleport them underground and arm them with claws for digging their way to the surface? What other race could come up with the notion of fusing the frame of an empowered warrior to a jetbike, then arming it with a cannon that can penetrate not one, but two armored faces of a Land Raider Crusader? Don't even get me started on the wargear of a Necron Lord ("We need to slow down our enemies in close combat. How about a wristwatch-sized device that alters time for non-Necrons?")

Imperial Guard!

1.They are human
2.They Hold the Humanity together
3.They are the underdogs





--Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours.

--To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand in line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best: we die standing.

— General Sturnn, Commander Cadian 412th +++

--Who told you to die? Keep fighting!

my army i chose are tyranids because i like the idea of
a. seeing my opponent line up his army of spacemarines tactically (covering fir etc.) and then me seeting up brood after brood. the opponents will always die a little each time for every brood you put down

b. because i love the film alien, and how each tyranid model is pretty damn big.(put a termie next to a guardwsemn and suddenly, the bog standard gaunt looks scary)

Necrons. It's like leading a race of self resurrecting space zombies with guns able to sink a Titan. Plus, they have gods on their side, gods you can SEE. Awesome.

Space Marines- Purge the Unclean

Dark Eldar- Taking slaves. Love opponents characters being taken to Commoragh.

Daemons- No one in our gaming group has them.

I play the imperial guard because there is not an opponent I have played that as soon as I open my bag doesn't say "Damn that's alot of tanks"

We are the hammer of the emperor and under his watchful eye we shall conquer all who oppose the Imperium of Man.
