    I don’t trust ANYONE who says they are a fan of Warhammer 40K unless they are a fan of a Xeno faction.

      Space clowns baybeeeeee

      (I kinda like the grey knights too, but I am firmly in the camp of “every 40k faction except maybe the tau is evil and that’s how it should be”)

        every 40k faction except maybe the tau

        Add the Kin to that. They are callously pragmatic to the end, but I wouldn’t call them outright evil.

        League of Voltan are the good guys now, no notes (they haven’t had enough edgy lore drops)

      Honestly, I would only trust Ork and maybe Tau players. Everyone else needs questioning.

        Tau like to preach about the Greater Good (the greater good) but they’re no valiant champions of morality. Least shitty by far, though.

        Orks are questionable because they do cruel things without purpose except the cruelty. It’s arguable that that’s just how they’re genetically programmed what with being artificially created and all that, like how I would argue the tyanids are the only “good” faction by virtue of being true neutral and at many stages more or less animals.

        All the other factions do evil shit to whoever they feel is standing in their way, including their own people.

            You know what, you’re right.

            Necrons Best Faction.

            They just got woken up by a bunch of kids on their lawn.

            They’re justified.

          I hear all that, but counter-argument: Orks are funny.

              Not deep enough in the lore to know what this is. Is it the old “Squats”?

                The species is called the Kin. Basically squats with a new paintjob who live in the galactic core. The Votann are both their first ancestors that left pre-Imerial Earth, and the current Ancestor Core computers that they worship as deities. They are cloned with beneficial stable mutations, resistant to chaos (minimal warp presence), and when they die, they get tossed into the blender where their experience is uploaded into an ancestor core and their biomass is repurposed. They frequently trade with other cultures, and avoid open combat if it would be deemed wasteful.
