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.
Eldar Corsairs - a faction of space elf visual kei looking pirates who don’t actually need anything, they just go around adventuring and fighting and stealing because it’s fun. Plus jetpacks on everything (in the old days when they actually had a proper army in the game it was centred around ridiculous movement with basically everything including the tanks being able to fly, not just hover, fly).
note I’m not picking a faction based on their marxist appeal cause the setting is fundamentally liberal and even the Tau and Craftworld Eldar are not gonna measure up as commies, no one is, even if those are more sympathetic than the humans.
