Craftworld Eldar, because of the overall design of the Eldar, especially of the Aspect Warriors. I like their armour and weapon design so much, and also their colour schemes. Then there's the concept of the Exarchs and the Phoenix Kings. I'm really happy that one of them is leading our forces and not some Farseer. Accordingly Biel-tan is my favorite Craftworld. They are the ultimate warmongers among the Eldar, use pure Aspect strike forces (Swordwind) and even have dedicated military leaders! Also a nice Craftworld lolour scheme and symbol. Do I like the history behind the Eldar? Sure, but the style is at least as or even more important than their history for me.
It's somewhat tough to really decide but Space Marines tend to end up on top for me. I'd say Eldar or Ork aren't too far behind. Just love the lore around the Space Marines (granted, they have the most.) Eldar are great for their looks/deadliness and Orks because....well they're ORKS and damn good at it!
I love ORKZ! Why? because you can do so much with Orks. You want to be a pirate? BAM! Freeboota! you want have a giant laser cannon on your back? BAM! you can loot a lascannon and strap it on your back ... Orks are fun! They don't take anything serious. They just want to fight and win. Also, you can literally create whatever stories you want with Orks. You want a story about an Ork army stuck in the trenches, trying desperatly to get into meelee range? Get your notebook ready then. You want an Warhammer 40k/ Bioshock infinite crossover? Better call your new character "Booka Da' Wit".
Dark Eldar or Necrons Dark Eldar because I'm an evil bastard and they are a good fit for that, TT it takes a bit of skill to use them so you get pro points for using them well Necron because who doesnt love a metal undead lol, and TT because they piss the other players off bigtime lmao
Eldar(Ulthwe because of their colors but I guess technically Biel-Tan would be my style of Craftworld), because of going fast, shooting people in the dick, cutting off faces and destroying minds. So I can kill you with a gun, a blade and my mind and avoid your attacks? Trolololo They are fascinating, each possessing of grace and able to obtain a degree of skill that no Human could hope to match, yet living long enough that becoming a master chef/artist/combatant is not the end of their life's work but merely a stage of it. They are so knowledgeable of and connected with the universe but intentionally shut themselves off from it, limiting themselves in order that their true strength, their spirits, does not irrevocably alter the galaxy, as it did during their Fall. I love the thought of using skill and spiritual ability to overcome one's foes rather than brute force and power, able to fell a foe many times stronger than you by making them look like a fool in battle, or by crushing their minds as easily as one thinks to breathe. Tyranids because of cutting off faces in the constant pursuit of perfection. And bio-mass. Feed me. I am hungry and want to look beautiful. Space Wolves because Viking Werewolf Space Marines with chainswords, or the coveted Frost weapons, cutting off faces. Also because in the story where the Space Wolves and Dark Angels were fighting, a Space Wolf used his body to shield a Guardsman from a grenade. When you have battle-hungry bad asses that take time out of their killing spree to protect their vulnerable allies, you know you've got a force worthy of the Imperium's praise. Even the Inquisition, who has MANY questions about them, back the hell off. You can waste someone else's time with your Inquisition; I've got an Imperium to save and booze to drink as I recount the tales of how I've helped save the Imperium. World Eaters because of cutting off faces and BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! Goffs because of being rugged enough to take your enemies hits before chopping off faces. Also, 'cause deyz made fer fightin' an' winnin'. Also, just the thought of continuously getting bigger an' stronger as you fight is pretty cool. I'd love to see a massive Warboss up against a Daemon Prince. Or a Carnifex. Or a Trygon. Or a Gargantuan Squiggoth. Or an Emperor Battle Titan. Or Khorne. Necrons(Maynarkh Dynasty) because I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're ne~ver gonna keep me down. I get knocked down, but I get up again! You're ne~ver gonna keep me down! Particularly Flayed Ones because they're crazies who like cutting off faces and want to wear the pretty little Eldar's skin. Or just any skin in general. Xun'bakyr is a female Necron Overlord who rules the Maynarkh Dynasty, which is gradually succumbing to the Flayer Virus.
Space Marines, To kill the heretics and restore the Great Empire of the Emperor of Mankind. For Dorn and The Emperor !
Overall my love is fairly divided nearly perfectly between the Imperium and the forces of Chaos. To go down into closer specifics: Space Marines (Specifically Blood Angels or Space Wolves). They give up everything, including their baseline humanity, and their entire futures, in order to go and do absolutely nothing but risk their nigh-unending lives for countless people who may never know the horrors that may have been outside their doors at night. Despite being essentially kidnapped as kids and put through hell (And ignoring how certain Chapters are complete dicks ((LOOKIN' AT YOU, MARINES MALEVOLENT. IMEANREALLY?))) it's a noble sacrifice for the good of Mankind. Traitor Legionnaires: My love for the Traitor Legions and the Chaos Space Marines stems mostly from the 30K era, truth be told. Great men, pinnacles of humanity have been brought low by things that they, in most peoples minds, should have never had in the first place. It resonates with me. More specifically, My love for the Word Bearers is because in my eyes the Word Bearers have never stopped the Great Crusade. They bring their truth of freedom and personal power through the Dark Gods (As free as you can be with Tzeentch staring over your shoulder anyhow)
