Since this community is pretty dead I thought I liven it up a little with some very light discussion about factions in our favourite wargame we absolutely hate.

So for me it’s the Orks. I love them in 40k and AoS. The chaotic, ramshackle ridiculousness of them is incredible entertaining. That and I am more interested in building models and painting than playing and Orks are perfect for that.

I also like Necrons because they are so awful but in an honest way. Yes they want to get rid of the other races so that the Necrons rule once more over the galaxy. But from their point of view it’s understandable. They ARE better than every other living race in technology and science. Years are to them like seconds to us. The difference between Necrons and other living races really is like the difference between us and insects.

Edit: I just want to clarify that I don’t think the Necrons are right in wanting everything dead. I just get why terrible space Egyptians would believe that they are right. I like that they are very upfront and honest about being dickheads.

    Most of them are horrific so any allegiations of being based are premature (at least in 40k, i don’t know basically nothing about AoS).

    But overally i would say Asuryani, since they are basically kind of communists - not marxists, but the post scarcity kind of practical communism. Too bad their stance on internationalism is shitty, but they are still basically the one of two factions which aren’t genocidal by design. Oh and exodites also seem pretty ok for that universe, or as far as primitivists could be, too bad the only time we hear about them is when they are being genocided by someone else.

    Also Tau, the second faction which don’t want to genocide everyone else just because. But most importantly, they are the only faction that seems to remember what scientific method it and didn’t abandoned it for some kind of cultish nonsense.

    Finally aesthetically i like the typical over the top garish aesthetics of entire 40k settings. IMO the trend of making it gritty rust and dust style is a huge mistake.
