    Hello! I am new to the 40k universe and lore.
    I have started the books (Horus Heresy series), and have acquired some Tao Empire table top.(I know they're not in this game)
    However I still don't know much and would love arguments on which faction is most deserving of my loyalty.
    I thank you in advance!

    Oh Lord, you've done it now.

    Well then, in the interest of fairness I'll summon representatives of all of the factions for them to make their case.

    I'll Use the Scale one Imperal Guardsman and The Scale 11 Nathan: Chosen of Warpy to set the Pendulum scale!

    Come forth warriors of the Eternal Crusade! I SUMMON THEE!

    20160311155656_1.jpg 20160311155656_1.jpg A quote from Tureilim :

    "I like the Imperium (despite backing Chaos in Eternal Crusade) because despite all of their problems, the Imperium trods on, unbowed and unbroken, following the will (if not the spirit) of the God-Emperor of Mankind.

    From falling from grace to becoming the oppressive society they are -- From almost-born utopia to war-torn hellscape -- over millenia of slow technological decay, religious zealotry and everything else, Mankind as a whole hasn't yet fallen to anyone. It's rooting for the home team, y'know?

    Then I look at the space marines. Some are outright horrible towards people, while others happen to be the very essence of what they were made to be when they weren't conquering the stars -- Guardians of humanity. They gave up their humanity to become something more, to protect those now weaker than they themselves were.

    The Imperium is just one, giant, tragedy that's unrolled over 10,000+ years that I just can't get enough of. Just imagine the scale of everything that's happened to them. Now realize that they have no damn intention of giving up, despite it all. IF that isn't worth admiration, what is?"

    We also have a lot of organized groups that play as the space marines, they are always willing to teach new players. That, and we are the only faction that can form shield walls. :p

    Mon-Keigh said what ?

    - I feel the same way about the Eldar, but it was kinda our own fault. I think we may have took the magic and lust thing a bit to far, maybe....

    You guys are awesome. Now if anyone could explain Orks and The Tyranids, I will be able to make my decision even though @ShoulderMount makes a compelling argument. I am loving this community!
