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.

    From what little I know of the lore, if I was dropped into that universe on any random Imperial world, I would do everything I could to flee to Tau space and became a Guevesa. Along the way though I’d probably get busted by the Inquisition and made into a Servitor. Clankity-clank.

    As for who I sympathize with the most, that would be the Tau because they seem like the least unhinged and as others have said the most left/Marx-friendly faction. I also like the vibes of the Orks though, because they ironically seem the most human. The other factions take themselves for the most part way too seriously.

    As far as cool designs go, I can find something appealing about all the factions to a varying extent. I can aesthetically appreciate Astartes armor, Nid creatures, Necron ships, Ork choppas, and Chaos daemons all at once.
