Weekly Top 10: Imperium of man and their enemies

I don't think iv'e mentioned this but I am a big fan of Warhammer 40K, it's been a while since I last played but I am getting back into it, the background and stories from the 41st millennium are just awesome. This will be my ten favourite 40K races/ species/ armies etc.

 10) Orks

Infamous for their bad grammar and unrefined technology the Orks kick of the list. The thing I like about the Orks is the fact that their is enough of them to obliterate half the universe, but instead they fight who ever comes in front of them even if that enemy is each other, I guess it's lucky that Orks are as Stupid as all hell. WAAAAAAGH!!!

9) Sisters of battle/ Witch hunters

The Sisters of battle make up for the lack of females in other armies and the imperium of man, as a good 99 percent of their forces are female as implied by the name. It appears that their speciality is flame weopons which goes with the name witch hunter quite well.

8)  Tyranids

These guys came out of nowhere, they literally just swarmed in and started eating everything that had flesh. They all work under the same Hive mind controlling their every terrifying move, they can either swarm you or crush you with their Tyrants and carnifexes. It's a pretty nasty way to go being eaten by a tyranid if your not blasted by their bio-weapons.

7) Eldar

Although they caused their own downfall with the birth of the chaos god slaneesh, they have learnt their lesson and dedicate their lives to becoming pure of mind and sin to avoid being swallowed by chaos minions. They used to be the biggest empire ether to walk across the stars.

6) Imperial Guard

The Imperial guard are not in unison as the other armies available as their tactics usually include swarming the enemy with so much manpower that it doesn't matter if you lose some soldiers or blasting the holy hell out of anyone with their basilisks and baneblades. I believe that they have had their names changed to the astra militarum, these are the remnants of man kind  and are some of the best defenders their is.

5) Tau empire

They do not wish to kill or feast (well.. maybe the kroots do), all they truelly want is peace, which is pretty weird in this universe. I would say that their technology looks the most advanced, it isn't but it's still better than the Orks tech. I suppose its the fact that they pursue harmony is what I like about them.

4) Grey Knights/ Demon hunters

Basically the Paladins of the Imperium, If the Witch hunters ignite flames, the Grey knights extinguish the flames of chaos as their name clearly states. All but one of the Grey Knight models is completely bad ass in all forms, what they lack in numbers they make up for in power, also every member is basically a Psyker (psychic).

3) Chaos Space marines

 During the Horus heresy many of the revered space marine chapters left the emperors side and Joined the chaos gods in an attack to wipe out the Imperium, although it ultimately failed. space marines are cool enough as it is so if you give them demon powers, well lets say blood will be spilt. Whether its Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle or Slaneesh they always bring something to the table (get it).

2) Dark angels

The first space marine chapter to be founded, the Dark angels are steeped in Mystery and have been given the nickname the unforgiven. They also have their own specialist forces called the ravenwing and deathwing, when you consider that space marines are already specialist units, those guys have to be badass.

1) Dark Eldar

 Finally my top 40K Army is the evil more sinister versions of the Eldar. The Dark Eldar don't fight for peace, conquest or anything like that, just because they like to, the Orks also fight because they like it but the dark Eldar still have a different way of doing things, they enjoy displaying their dominance and watching the pain and suffering of others as their hope slowly fades away from their dismembered bodies. The dark Eldar are also one of the most technologically advanced races, with tank busting weapons such as the haywire grenades or the dark/void lance or the beast slaying poisoned weapons carried by the normal infantry. These guys did not learn from the fall of the Eldar either in fact they carried on with their sins and saw the Eldar gods as week for dying in such a way.

Seeya soon
