Thats mainly the reason why IG are cool i think. They are just men in a galaxy full of horrors and they still fight... and win Inquisition are still cooler though.

None of the above! Sisters of Battle.

Of those actually in the poll, Orks and Guard.

[edit: and no, I don't think "Inquisition" is either an "army" or "cool". So I'm not voting for them.]

That's strange, because I don't own a single Inquisitorial model. But I do own Sisters.

Maybe that's because Sisters aren't "Inquisition", they're Sisters of Battle, the militant arm of the Ecclesiarchy, occasionally used by the Inquisition to further its goals just like everything else (Space Marines and Imperial Guard are also used by the Inquisition-- they also occasionally use Xeno mercenaries and even daemons in the form of daemonhosts. So by that technicality, Marine, Guard, Kroot, Orks, Daemons, and Eldar are also "Inquisition", too!).

I do not play Inquisition. Nor do I think they are an army. Nor do I think they are "cool". I play Sisters, who ARE an army, and ARE cool But since they aren't in your poll, I didn't vote.

By army you mean armed security force, right?

And Inquisition isn't an army ('till the new codex comes out ), but Grey knights FTW!!! what can be cooler than badass space marines, with storm bolters, force weapons and epic armour, who answer to no-one save the emperor?

Chuch Norris is not an army, not awesome, not cool, nor the best at anything other than kissing his own arse.

I think I'll vote for Orks. If only because Orky culture is pretty damn cool to study and think about.

If a faction can be played as a stand alone army, it's an army.

Considering that 40k conflicts take place on a squad/platoon/company level, I wouldn't say the fact any of these armies can be played automatically makes them armies.

But yes, Sisters of Battle are by far the coolest force in 40k. Everyone else is just jealous.

You can't get past the humanity, the honest-to-Emperor true grit and determination shown by real humans. In a universe abounding with superhumans, inhuman aliens and monstrous beings, it goes to show something that man is still willing to do his bit with a lasgun and some guts behind it.

...That the lasgun will inevitably fail and the guts hastily removed from their correct place has no bearing on the matter.
