The emperor had intended for the Astarte's to govern humanity after the completion of the GC

Yes, but my meaning is as using IG and civilians as expendable fodder (like IH used to do until Raukaan book came). Or even killing a human because "he/she didn't know his/her place" (like confronting Astartes for some reason)

I don't recall any loyalist chapters doing this.... Though I haven't read much on them bar blood angels dark angel ultras and fists.

The Regal Sons of Dorn.

I love how the yellow color pops on the table, even though it's hard to paint. Plus, I like that yellow is a bad color to gear up for war for in a realistic sense. It's like "Yeah, I'm wearing yellow, feth you! Bring it!"

I also like how their current Chapter Tactics blended together give the sense of stoic warriors capable of laying down disciplined, accurate fire in any circumstance.

I didn't realize how popular the Sons of Dorn were until now. I hear so many other names dropped that I always thought I was in the minority but here they are riding 2nd place. It is really surprising. I thought that the Salamanders and Space Wolves were more popular, guess I was wrong.

Seeing the popularity of the Dark Angels kind of makes me wish they would of gotten a better codex. I need to read their Horus Heresy stuff to get a feel for them.

blood angels, dark angels and space wolves. I love all three for various reasons. from fluff, to actual models, themes, etc.

I feel the same. Hard to pick a favorite out of those three.

YES! BA and DA have taken the lead again!

Blood Angels. The only codex I enjoy reading over again. Also Fear to Tread was great. Dante doesn't have slowed draigo-style backstory. Mephy comes closer, but not in the same ballpark. He at least can be KO'd in fluff.

And on the table, I like marines for the overall ability, but I also love speed, so a little crank up over other chapters feels great.

Somehow out of every 40k player I've ever played, every space wolf player (3 of them) and one dark eldar have been my only tfg's ever.
