Why? Is an animal eating to survive and continuing it's species (like all natural creatures) evil? Just because the food is bigger and has a "conscious" doesn't make it evil.


I'd say Dark Eldar.


They go beyond just surviving. They are conquering and assimilating into their Hive Fleets.


It is the right of all organisms to spread. We assimilate the natural world when we eat and then use that food to provide energy to have more of us, feed our offspring and so on. In a very real sense we are transforming the matter of plants and other animals into more humans. To me the Dark Eldar are more evil because they inflict suffering and pain without reason and because they still have that eldar mindset that created the chaos gods. The followers of chaos are like drug addicts, they're sick and do evil things because they're sick, not because they're evil.
Tau, they're bringing what they think is a better way of living to the galaxy, the fact that they seem to be the major beneficiaries of this generosity I'm sure is just coincidence. I suppose if anything they are more like old human empires like the Roman and British empires.

This is wrong. They torture and such because they need their souls in such a state as to Satify Slaanesh and stop Him from eating their Souls. If they don't take slaves and tourture them etc, they lose that and She will nom them up faster than Nid's eat a planet.

They are evil in the way I would say (don't hit me) Nazi Germany was. The vast majority of Tau Believe what they believe because they have been saturated with propaganda from Day One. They commit atrocities in the name of the "Greater Good" because the Ethereal's Tell them too, who know that it's all a bunch of rubbish and have to resort to clandestine methods to subdue unruly races (See the Vespid Conspiracy for example)

C'Tan are pretty darned evil. Genocidal maniacs who don't realise that exterminating all life means they will starve because there is no way to restore it?

Anyway, the Necrons can't possibly win. All the races of the universe will combine their game-breaking cheese units; Nob Bikers, Lash DPs, and Psychic Choirs will destroy them, because they have new codecies and don't afraid of anything.

Eldar can only be considered evil in the context that they would sacrifice a million humans for one Eldar.

Which, when you think about it, is like saying a Humanity would sacrifice a millon slowed Pigeons for a human. Same Difference in Inteligence (or so they claim )

They were being space deviants before though right, because that's what created Slaanesh in the first place?

I think of the Imperium as more like the nazis with its philosophies of purging the heretics, xenos etc. Everthing is done for the benefit of mankind as a whole with a single glorified leader. From what I've learnt of national socialism, the imperium fits closer to that way of thinking than communism or whatever else. Italian fascism would suit Tau as it differs from nazism in being for the state (which gives room for xenos to participate) whereas nazism is for the people (which gives no room for xenos to exist amongst the people).

Orks are the most evil.

They kick you and make you carry heavy stuff.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Love does not bloom in 40k. Love burns. It gets turned inside out, set on fire, raped, shot with bolters, and beaten with a crowbar.

I think the tau were too nice and so they were given all the slave mine and sterillisation stuff.
That made them more grimdark.

However, they are the complete opposite. They may not be the sadistic evil of DE, or the horror of Chaos, but they are trying to eradicate all other races...COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY. They are like the Nazi's of the 41st millenium.

Without them, the whole thing wouldn't be in such a ferocious war.


Well, if all the other races are trying to kill you, then destroying them "COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY" is an appropriate response. Fro more information, visit the "is the Imperium evil?" thread.
