What is your guys favourite faction and why do you like them? (AoS or 40k) (lemmygrad.ml)

Since this community is pretty dead I thought I liven it up a little with some very light discussion about factions in our favourite wargame we absolutely hate.

So for me it's the Orks. I love them in 40k and AoS. The chaotic, ramshackle ridiculousness of them is incredible entertaining. That and I am more interested in building models and painting than playing and Orks are perfect for that.

I also like Necrons because they are so awful but in an honest way. Yes they want to get rid of the other races so that the Necrons rule once more over the galaxy. But from their point of view it's understandable. They ARE better than every other living race in technology and science. Years are to them like seconds to us. The difference between Necrons and other living races really is like the difference between us and insects.

Edit: I just want to clarify that I don't think the Necrons are right in wanting everything dead. I just get why terrible space Egyptians would believe that they are right. I like that they are very upfront and honest about being dickheads.

Can't say I blame you. Funnily enough, I've not met that many legit Imperium supporters among the fans, there's maybe one person who simps for Great Crusade era specifically, but that's about it. Other Imperium fans I know are pretty honest about it being a shithole.

What gets me are unironic necron simps. Now those I've seen a-plenty. It's one thing to acknowledge they have some cool and advanced technology, it's a completely different thing to go "well they see a galaxy filled with vermin and they're right to want everyone dead".

There are unironic Necron simps? I must say i seen those for basically every faction even for fucking Tyranids and Drukhari but never for Necrons, Necron players i met are always about their notably cool aesthetics and/or being Tomb Kings in space.

I know maybe two. Can't say I've met drukhari simps that don't acknowledge them being horrible

That's the point, they do acknowledge them being horrible but still simp for them and whitewash them "at least they are honest yadda yadda".
