Which do you rate the most (fluffwise)?

Despite the love I have for my Eldar and Nids, I think the award for favourite Xenos would have to be Orks.

Hell yes fift... fitfy... lots fer da Orks!

Where's the purge the xenos scum selection?

Since I didn't see OldCrons as an option, I had to go with the Tyranids

Dead ones.

But Orks are funny.
Plus I can use the line "A Lone ork!? Against the Might of the Alliance?" Whenever I reduce their squads down to single members.

I'll say Orks. They're entertaining buggers.

I'm picking Eldar since their dark kin aren't on the list.

Guys who live just for the pleasure and perverted things? Sure, why not! lol

Love my nids, but orks seem like more fun.

I'd say Rak'Gol but out of those ones, I'd have to go with the Orks.

What no thrud love, lol.
Orks for sure.

Farsight and his Enclave.

'Nids, 'Nids, 'Nids, 'Nids; 'Nids, 'Nids, 'Nids, 'Nids!

Firs thing I ever bought from GW was their Tyranid Attack board game. Loved 'em ever since.

not surprised to see orks on top of this one lol.
Who hates da orks? nobody! Das 'oo!

The Orks are my favorite because they're just so ridiculously fun.

Though fluffwise, they're pretty flimsy and ridiculous. Orks are better off thought about, and described, as little as possible. They definitely work significantly better, the less you think about them, lol.

I so want a Kroot merc book again

What about Dark Eldar? And Squats? Or hrud? Jokaero?

Are we supposed to vote all Eldar together? Or have Dark Eldar been purposely left off?

Generally, I find it helpful to always leave an 'other' option in polls, to cover any contingency you didn't think of.

I think Tyranids, even though my friend annoys me to no end with his MCs... Necrons are a very close second, though.

They're still Eldar, evil or otherwise. This thread is about races, not factions.

Edit: voted Eldar, I think both varieties are badass in their own ways, Tyranids would be 2nd for me. I might be the only person who finds Orks neither funny nor interesting.

No you're not, I am with you there.

For me its Tau, then (Dark) Eldars.

Tau by a long shot.

I've went with Tau as well but Eldar are a really close second for me.

I like Tau for their fururistic feel and technology. They always have a gadget for every circumstance.

I like Craftworld Eldar for their character.

I play Necrons and Eldar, but by far my favorite Xenos from a fluff standpoint is Nids. They are a true force of nature, just like Godzilla! They are neither good nor evil, just hungry. Here is to the hope that GW never ruins them like Star Trek did the Borg!

Tyranids! My favourite army and favourite models.

gotta be da Boys!

Orks are just funny. from red making things go faster to a teeth based economy, what not to love! And this is coming from a Crimson Fist player.

after all, we are here on Dakka Dakka.

Tyranids because they are truly alien to the galaxy, possessing qualities unlike any other race and driven by a purpose that spells only utter doom for the rest of us.

I know they weren't "xenos" but rather "abhumans", I always favored the squats. Dwarf bikers with beer guts and sunglasses ? LOVED them.
I also kinda thought the Slann were cool but they didn't exactly have an abundance of "space slann" models.
Of the ones listed, its a toss up between elder and orks.

I figured that, but I wanted the OP to clarify so I don't throw his numbers off.

Necrons but just for old crons fluff plus the C'tan are so cool!!!

Tau. I might be biased.
