Used to play Eternal Crusade ages ago, but that game went sour and is on its last legs. I've also played Space Marine and Dawn of War 1 + expansions, but nowadays only in the rare cases discord buddies wanna huddle up for a session. Tried to enjoy Deathwing, graphics are gorgeous but the genestealer spam is a little absurd.
I don't, but I can appreciate good models (and laff at those who didn't

This is a tough one, as I do genuinely like all factions - they each have their own, interesting and appealing qualities.
Still, if I had to list some - in no particular order:
- Farsight Enclaves. A rebel off-shoot of the Tau Emprie, led by a Tau who can't die of old age after slurping up lifeforce from countless Orks and Daemons by slicing them with a battlesuit-sized sword. The rest of The Eight are also pretty interesting. Wish the place itself got more lore, it'd be interesting to see how life works there with no Caste system in place. Also, do we even know if they have other species living with them?
- Dark Angels. The secrecy, knight aesthetic (and love for plasma weapons), Lion's origins, it all feels so grand and balanced-out by the humbleness of the Chapter.
- Tau Empire. An interesting addition to the galaxy, a little naive faction that has a policy that stands out quite a lot compared from the old-timers. Plus, the battlesuits look cool. Wish the auxiliary species would get more love tho, named characters and notable events would flesh things out nicely.
