So, what army would you like to be a part of in 40k? why?

Tau - Farsight Enclaves.... because they seem to be the only ones who get it.

woot, vote for the mind controlling

Tough question... I give you that. Is the idea that we aren't allowed to choose heritage? Like to choose caste or family to gain better ranks in army (for example being an Ethereal?). If we can then it would be Tau. If not, then most likely Slaaneish cultist. It might be fun to help leading a faction that is fueled with pure idealism and propaganda and as an ideology "For greater good" is kinda lovely. I doubt that I'd need to explain the other option.

assume you are a warrior/diplomat not the lowest, but nor are you highest ranking people. that make sense? (being a lord general or some other form is fine if you want that )

What's so bad about picking Eldar?

oh nothing really lol.

i woul be an eldar pirate less regimented then the craftworld but not as debauched as the DE, either than or a radical inquisitor!

As much as I like Tau, being a Space Marine would be awesome. If I was to pick a particular chapter, I would say Imperial fists or Black Templars.

Has to be Eldar, in a universe of war i could sit inside a beautiful craftworld and study art, ahhh ignorance is bliss

I'd be angry marine becuase they talk just like me.

Adeptus Astartes - to the grave (unless dreadnought'd, the service continues).
Even though the training would suck hard, having a risk of one or more implant failures that might kill you, free time is limited (or none at all), discipline is tough, and enemies even tougher, I'd still pick the life of an Astartes. A guaranteed heroic grave, and an ultimate respect of the Imperial citizens.

...As a good second choice, it must be the gunner/loader of Basilisk battery. Far away from frontlines, commissars won't dare to shoot you too eagerly due to special training and importance of the artillery fire.

I'd be a Sister of Battle. They are "normal" gals rocking the power armour. Of course I would have to undergo *major* surgery to even be allowed in...

Tau, I soooo freaking want my own mini gundam.

Dark Eldar. In a universe with no real promise of an afterlife, they are the army that offers the best balance of A) quasi-immortality and B) my own free will.

true, but it involves a lot of pain O.o

I carry the words of Logar to the oppresed masses! Let the servants of the false carrion lord of mankind tremble in fear!
( A Word Bearer if someone did not understand)

Tau Commander in XV22 Stealth Armour like Shas'O Kais.

Although I would be brain washed at least I would be the lesser of all the evils in the universe.

Also Fusion Blasters go fwoooooosh ;-)

ITS STILL DEBATED ABOUT THE MIND CONTROL! lol. but I wouldn't care, I am in my own f*^#^%(g Gundam!

I never mentioned mind control but you can't deny they are fed propaganda about the greater good, just like space marines zealotry towards The Emperor.

true, but its more like the stuff fed to the IG about the emperor, most chapters of SM do not worship the emperor as a god. They revere him, but not as a god :3.

Dark Eldar, because they are the only race that is truly about freedom (Ironically). Every other race fights because they have to (By law or by nature) and only Dark Eldar fight because they think they deserve to. They are also the *possible* longest lived creatures that aren't gods or Quasi gods like C'tan. They also have the best promotion system where even a slave can rise to the highest perches of society (look at Vect!) simply by being smart enough to get their.

I find it ironic that its the slavers and pirates that offer the best career advancement in the universe, the best medical/dental care, the best 'after work' benefits and the most freedom to choose how they live. I guess pirates have always been about freedom.

I'd want to be a Space Marine. It would be awesome.

Orks.A burn a bomma pilot.Why?Because fire from da skies!

Yeah, but I'd LIKE it, so it's be okay. For the same reason, Nurgle is my second option.

DOUBLE HERESY!!BLAM!

Space Marine
Probably a Space Wolf. Nothing beats super strength, speed, durability, theoretical immortality, and Vikings.

Definitely Orks. A life of fighting just sounds like way too much fun in the 40k universe. If not Orks then 'nids.

orks have the most stable economy eva, just gotta get sum teef

Definitely Space Marines and preferably one of the more belligerent chapters. Purging all manner of xenos and heretics with your battle-brothers just sounds like a grand time.
