1) Watched my older brother play TT, but never played myself. I've played the DoW series and Space Marine far longer than I should've just because they did a good job of capturing the 40k atmosphere. Read plenty of novels, codices and wiki articles in the early hours searching for forbidden lore. Yes, I am a complete party animal. 2) Orkz/Tyranids, the infinite war Eldar/Chaos Blood Angels/Black Legion Dark Angels/The Fallen Imperial Fists/Iron Warriors 3) Black Legion/Blood Angels, and Word Bearers/Ultramarines. Love me some Imperium vs Chaos.
1) I've been collecting Dark Angels since 2nd Ed. I am heavy into tabletop and I have played most of the video games. 2) Chaos Space Marines / Dark Angels is huge. The story of the fall of Caliban is what originally drew me to the army. Also Space Wolves / Dark Angels. 3) This is already being teased with the Fallen Captain hero class, but the rivalry between the Inner Circle and the Fallen would add a lot of depth to the game, I think. Especially with the inclusion of Deathwing Terminators, and (maybe post-launch) Interrogator Chaplain hero class. Also some more civil rivalry between Dark Angels and Space Wolves.
Heavy tabletop, All video games except Rites Of War, Most classics and new stuff, loads of codices and possibly more. 2) Space Wolves/Thousand Sons, Ultramarine/Alpha legion. 3) Rainbow Warriors/Sisters Of Battle!
