In beggining I played mostly with SM but when DC came out Tau race have most impressed me.
In SS, SoB battle have good late game units but in beggining are weak.
So definitly Tau.

GAH! You're asking me to chose between the Orks and the Dark Eldar. CURSE THEE!

Ever since I used them, I've loved the Orks. Their witty and light-hearted dialogue make the game enjoyable, not to mention clobberin' stuff with a veritable green tsunami is fun too. They appeal to the very basic joys: Blowing stuff up, going fast, beating things with comically disproportioned bludgeoning instruments. They have a very simple, yet very truthful outlook on battle and life. They wield frighteningly devastating weapons that have a slight tendency to umm.....miss-fire. Yet even with these setbacks, Orks manage to instill a sense of fearlessness in the user (probably because of all the WAAAGH! banners ). However you look at them, Orks are just plain fun and a hoot to play.

Just so everyone is clear, I utterly loathe the Eldar in all of the DoW expansions so one would think this translates to the Dark Eldar as well, no? Wrong. The Dark Eldar are better than their pansie cousins. Their voice overs and dialogue are made of win, and like the Orks, are quite funny. The Dark Eldar appeal to the sadistic and dark humor, but in doing so, are quite rewarding to play. The Haemonculus stands out from the crowd, as his choice of dialogue is the most amusing besides the Raiders and Tortured Slave's. You can't go wrong with a race that makes reference to Monty Python and Ralph Nader jokes.

So in closing, I'm afraid I can't pick one race for you see I have two favorites: Orkz and Dark Eldar.

IG and SM....IG cuz they are cool and SM cuz of they are pretty much a race that has more micro than the others which makes it quite fun and tactical to play with

I also like Eldar too. Especially how they can microed for so much more effectiveness.

[Alias]

Even though I haven't played Soulstorm, it is, and always will be Necrons.

FOR CHAOS!!!!

I will allways be an avid follower of teachings of the chaos gods, they will bring all the lesser races to their knee's and turn them to chaos, the taint will not be stoped!

(If you havn't guessed, I pick Chaos, they are just the best.race.ever!)

[General]

Sisters of Battle, well we always played as dudes, now there is wild girl out there and knows how to fight, I like that faction, Exorcist is funny

[MR.Kim]

For Space Marine.

FOR THE EMPEROR!!! CHARGE!!!

[edsato82]

Space Marine

Fav = Fuerza aerea Venezolana :wahhhhhaa:

[Foxhound]

It makes me lol that all the other races have something like 1 or 2 votes and then the IG have 10.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Dem punie 'umie gitz dun know wut deyz talkin' bowt. We Orkz gunna stomp dem gud!

[MR.Kim]

Not only space marine, also my fav. races are IG and of course Orks.

"Dakka Dakka Dakka"

[Lizzie]

Imperial Guard.

KEEP FIRING TILL THEY SEE THE GLOW OF OUR BARRELS!

[AllStarZ]

Space Marines are for n00bs.

Tau on the other hand, is for n00bettes.

"CUT THEM DOWN"

[TehKiller]

Tau are a bit of a noobish race but they got cool phrase lines

IG on the other hand have cool lines and are a bit harder to master (as they dont got any melee concetrated units nor does the infantry have any AT capabilities and are low on HP)

[Archon]

Crons are for noobs.When I want to win game I just pick Crons.
On the other hand with Tau are difficult to play in beggining.So dont think they are for noobs.
Crons and Eldars are most imba races in SS.

[Alias]

Necrons were for "noobs" pre-DC patch (all you needed to win was Flayed One spam), but after the patch they are fine. I can't see how they'd be worse in Soulstorm, as they got the least addition out of them all.

[Archon]

I played with crons in DC and SS.
Still imba like before.
Cron lord, warriors.Alwost all units.

[TehKiller]

Wait wait....Tau has the superior firepower infantry early game and you call that weak?! Later when they bring also those uber ranged Rocket shitz or the damn Drone Spammer is a bit IMBA in my POV. As for the Kronz they arent that tough in the start either (yes FO can harras you early in game but thats easy counterable) as if u get plasma tech they are screwed. Eldar can easily rush you with Tier 2 units as their tech speed is ridicilously fast so thats pretty much the only IMBA thing i see otherwise their units aint so tough ( SM vs Eldar K/D ratio was 1800 Kills and 250 Deaths last time i played against them and this was a multiplayer match...i got the screenie on my Xfire profile if u want proof). IG are the only ones that are very vurneable to rushes as they cant get a squad in full numbers and are low on HP though BB could use more Veh Cap as 3 is a bit low IMO (maybe 4 or 5 would do better) but then again they would lose their ability to have many vehicles and they are vehicle themed.

I ONLY play Necrons, I do KNOW what I'm talking about.

Necron units just need a specific counter, unlike the other races where you can just spam against.

Yea, TAU have fire warriors in beggining.FWs have great damage and range but if they get in melee combat they dead.You have kroots for melee but they are weaker in SS.You cant compare to other melee units like assault marines.So you must be careful with FWs.Also tau commander cant do nothing in melee combat like other commanders.He's not bad but only have ranged attack.
Also in patch, Im expecting that they do something with FO.
