I'd switch Tau and DEldar, but good.
>>45996445
whats wrong with space elfs?
they are better than tau.

thats kinda why I like the eldar. grimbright is nice.
They are by far my favorite and the release of their army is the only reason I un-quit 40k, but that isn't objective by any means.
>>45995709
Given that they worship a space-god that wants to kill everything, and not a wise tech Jesus like they'd have everyone believe, absolutely not.
>>45997049
But the ones that say that the void dragon is bad are just imperial shills.
I actually think that the void dragon is a Chaos God of Law, counterpart of Tzeentch and thus the 40k Arianka, goddess of constants, logic and discipline.
>>45997509
Oh shit i got my law gods mixed up, i was referring to Solkan, the God of LAW and ORDER.
Hell, any law god can be related to the omnissiah, even the emprah.

Orks a best
>>45998969
Honestly it's hard for me to decide which faction I like more. I have more of a "general" idea of what I like. (I'm going by lore, however, not actually as an army)
Basically it's this:
Nercons/AdMech/Tyranids/Orks/Guard > SM/CSM/Daemons/Tau/Sororitas > Eldar/DEldar
I guess it'd be easier to say the factions I like less is the Eldar and Dark Eldar, but this is just against the other races of 40k.
Ad-Mech a best.
AdMech is objectively best faction
>>45998988
They went one higher.
>>45995709
Fear not, there is plenty of Mechanicus love here on /tg/ those anons simply have chainswords up their rectums.

>>45997509
>mfw
The void dragon is a c'tan, which, besides being argueably bigger threats than the chaos gods if they were to break free and reassemble, are completely confined to the materium. They are not the "chaos gods of law" what ever the flying fuck that stupid bullshit is supposed to mean, they are the farthest thing from it, beings which have no presence in the warp, did not spawn from the minds of lesser mortals, but have existed since the dawn of time, and are horrible, horrible creatures which only are allowed to continue existing so that they may help further the subjugation of the lesser non-necron races. They are not something to be worshiped, and to do such invites death on us all.
Mechanicus fags are litteraly wishing death upon everything by doing anything but handing over the void dragon to the proper Necron authorities so that it may be sharded, put in a tesseract vault and kept away for the remainder of time
>>45995709
Sorry man, but I prefer the all organic race to the half machine one.
Tyranids for life.
>>45995709
Can the Adeptus Mechanicus bring about an era of technological progress for the imperium instead of the slow decay it has had?
>>46001554
Huh, I think I recognize that artist.
>>46002106
Nope.
>>46000552
Ugh absolutely disgusting, she's barely mechanical. She is far too invested in the weaknesses of the flesh and so are you if still have the capability to think she's attractive.
Shame on you.
>>45995709
YESnext to the Tau
>>45998859
The Adeptus Mechanicus is part of the Imperium of Man. Due to this they are ruled over by the high lords of Terra. The Mechanicum was the faction which were allies to the Imperium. Described as being a separate shadow empire.
>>46004789
Sorta sorta. The Fabricator General of Mars is one of the High Lords of Terra, so while they are part of the Imperium they are a branch with relative autonomy, sorta like the Ecclesiarchy.
>>45995709
Most overly burdened with stuff in the rpg setting maybe
>>46005320
Being part of the High Lords makes you part of the Imperuim. Part of the deal when the Mechanicum would become the Adeptus Mechanicus was that they would always have a seat . That is the only power the admech were granted.
Like every imperial faction they do get some autonomy this is linked to the imperial having a more feudal system than what we are used to seeing today.
>>45995709
>being a "Im a Le robot because im autistic XD" lover
Bad taste senpai, at least you arent a necron faggo.
>>45998859
Mechanicus arent really their own faction any more than the inquisitors or the planet catachan.
They all lick the imperial ways boot and rreally, all they really have is a different spin on the "emperor is god" story. hes just gonna be reborn as a machine."
>>46000076
But that fort is clearly not built to code and therefore tech heresy. Please report your child to the local adeptus administration for failure to construct a proper pillow fort.
>>46006123
Nigga the STC for the fort is right there. Everything is in order. Clearly this kid will grow up and move on to doing great things.
Great things.
>>46003302
That is one of ways to praise the omnissiah anon, the human body is magnificent machine on its own.
Are you somekind of Iron Fags?
A very important thing to remember about any Imperial faction in Warhammer 40k is that they get all their cool toys from the Cog boys, but save the coolest ones for them selves.
>>46003302

>>46003776
>Tau
Terrible.
>>45995709
According to GW, Stormcast Eternals are.
>>45995709
Yup, you're indisputably correct.
They're without a doubt the best part of the 40k lore.
Their visual design and aestheics are objectively the coolest thing. Anyone who disagrees is wrong.
The books about them are all pretty good despite of Black Library.
Their armies have some of the best models GW has ever producedexcluding that stupid robot.
They're the reason I got into 40k, first with Iron Hands successors fluffed to be even more admech alligned, now with the new armies for them.
The faction is based on such interesting ideas that their system of belief can be re-interpreted to be not only applicable, but a pretty good idea for a contemporary context.
pic related is the wallpaper I'm using.
Admech a best.
any other faction a shit.
Especially you >>45995832

Best looking designs, and best looking models.
We getting any new kits being released for these guys soon?
>>46000076
I always wondered is it specified how one becomes a techpriest? I mean what decides if you get to become a techpriest or are forced to be a worker in a manufactorum? Is it a caste system where you are born a techpriest, is it genetic determination as in they take a blood sample, if you have the right genetic code you are a techpriest, is it based off of intelligence from a young age?
>>46011453
There's a few rumors about a combined codex and a flier.
>>46011427
What about the Tau?
>>45995709
>Occult priests with body-mods worshipping machines, but shit scared of AI
Still a better twilight than love story.
>>45995709
Yes.
>>46011522
HERESY
>>46011479
Well, aptitude would seem the sane way to do it: Most go for tech priest, but then the vast majority wash out of the extremely rigorous program and get slotted into lesser roles. But this is 40k so the sanest way of handling things is the least likely to be done. In the absence of a canon answer, I'd guess it's probably that tech priests pick infants to become new tech priests based on interpreting the will of the Omnissiah through certain hallowed devices (which may or may not be performing some sort of bioscan, but the techpriests know what version of 'ding' means "you shall be a techpriest")
>>46011522
Wasn't there a whole series of those? Half a year's worth of calender girls iirc.
>>46011511
Omnissiah approved love is only true love. Everything else is just meat slapping together. Fucking disgusting.
>>46011614
There might have been.
>>46011505
>What about the Eldar?
>>46011696
Craftworld Eldar might not count because they use Wraithbone with is half psychic.
>>46011743
They aren't even the true Eldar anyway.
>>46011836
Dark Eldar aren't either. They aren't Psychic anymore.
The purest of the Eldar sub species are the Exodites.
>>46011505
Contrary to popular belief, the Tau don't actually possess technology that would really be considered advanced in the 40k 'verse. What they do possess is a stable industry and the capability to replicate their high-end technology across the board, whether you consider them an advanced faction for this or not is down to personal interpretation of the semantics.
That being said. High-end AdMech, Eldar of all flavours and Necrons shit all over even the highest level of Tau technology, the former-most just can't replicate it easily these days.
>>46011895
Fair enough.
Eventually the Tau can overtake all of the other high tech factions because they are continuing to progress.
>>46011924
AdMech and Eldar, maybe, but the Necrons have already achieved a completely ludicrous level and some of their scientists are still actively advancing their cause. The Tau's "child-race," may be able to surpass the Necrontyr if they ever realize that race-wide engineering is actually a logical conclusion for intellectual progress, but the Tau as we know them are unlikely to achieve the level of the ancients.
>>46011976
Good point.
Hell, the Celestial Oratory or whatever its called is mind bending.
>>46011976
I'm halfway convinced that the Tau are something to do with the Necrons.
They look kind of alike, assuming the skeletons are stylized representations of necrontyre spooky skeletons.
They both have a thing for getting technology quickly.
They both lived short lives.
They both can't into warp properly.
And they both have some shadowy connection to the eldar.
>>46011924
No filthy xenos will overtake the Glorious Imperium! Praise the Omnissiah!
>>46012082
That the Tau have something to do with the Necrons is relatively certain, considering the fact that they were not recorded by the Old Ones and have those established shadowy connections. What it is, however, is unclear, and more likely than not may have been the plan of some entity or another who has been lost to the wars of recent. We've seen this kind of origin story for many things and factions before in sci-fi, some even in 40k. The chosen of some plan only to outlive their creator's intent or will.
>>46011607

>The child has picked up the jar with a human kidney in it, he shall become a biologis educated in the functioning of organic bodies

Honestly I just assumed some sort of caste system.
>Be techpriest
>The time has come to procreate
>I have been assigned a female techpriest who will sire my child
>My frozen sperm will be injected into her egg and be grown in a synthetic womb
>At the age of 8 my child will be assigned to a senior techpriest as an apprentice
>>46011505
The Imperium has machine spirits that are borderline self aware. The Mechanicus has artillery capable of wiping out entire armies. The Mechanicus has vortex weapons, the mechanicus has rad weapons, the mechanicus has robots. The Tau really only have neat guns, not much else.
Eldar might be competition against the Mechanicus but too much of their technology has been lost, for all the shit talked about them the Mechanicus is pretty damn good at preserving technology.
>>46012160
>>The child has picked up the ball he is unfit to become a servant of the Omnissiah.
No.
Just no.
If he picks up the ball he goes to the explorators and maps new worlds for the Glory of the Imperium/Mechanicus
>>46012227
>The Tau really only have neat guns, not much else.
The Tau know exactly how their neat guns work and actively improve and modify them, and spread knowledge of how to do so along the Earth Caste, so that a discovery made on Sa'Cea can be put to use on Vior'la and T'au quickly and easily. The Mechanicus barely remembers how half their stuff really works and they jealously guard what knowledge they do have, and most of their really fancy shit has to be made by hand rather than be mass-produced in automated factories.
>>45997679
It's not heresy if the emperor does it!
>>46012296
Yeah, if the kid is at the blanket of items then he's already worthy if serving they are just working out his specific aptitude
>>46012227
>The Tau really only have neat guns, not much else.
And Terraforming equipment, advanced mining technology, ubiquitous and efficient anti-gravity, alloys and polymers that can apply to every situation, plus whatever else they have.
Living on Tau worlds is a good life all told.

>>46011427
I'd argue that Eldars are more advanced, but they aren't innovating or rediscovering anything, so they're losing ground to races like Admech and Tau.
>>46011874
I thought that was the Harlequins, since they don't have to worry about losing their souls if they use psychic powers.
>>46000076
>>46012160
>The child has built a pillow force. He shall study infrastructure learn learn to install electrical cables under an adept.

I remember a story (originating from /tg/, I believe), where a boy raking leaves upgraded his rake to be able to spend less time working.
THen the magos came and abduct... recruited him to learn the ways of the omnissiah.
Show soem technical disposition ? You're in.
Other than that, there is probably school tests in most imperial worlds, and vat-grown specimen (after all, the womb takes unnecessary space in the body, space that could be filled with vastly superior augmentics instead).
>>46011976
True. Just reading about crypteks is insane.
Though Tau are making good progress compared to everyone else. When they got ion tech from Deimurges, they really ran with it. If they discovered a dormant tomb world, I'd say they're less likely to turn everything on than Admech, and have a better chance to make heads or tails of all that absurdly advanced supertech.
>>46014323

>>46018260
This got me thinking. Could I tell someone I will field imperial guard, and then show up with literally only gue'vesa? For the greater good.
>>46017670
Honestly, the combination of factors makes AdMech the least fucked, even if not the most currently advanced faction. Eldar aren't progressing at all (AdMech are, if glacially, at least in some versions of the fluff), and while Tau are progressing faster there's a REASON some tech is heresy other than "because someone in the empire is/was a backwards luddite" (And no I don't mean the emperor, this would be going much faster with his guidance): In WH40K some branches of tech are species-extinguishing dangerous. The Tao will either rein in their innovation (Leaving them no better than the AdMech) or self destruct.
>>46018541
Their utility is, unsurprisingly, supposed to come from their wargear - or rather, was, since the 7th edition codex removed almost everything in exchange for a +1 bonus to their unit's Reanimation Protocols.
"Weapons of the gods" is still really pushing it in any case, but that's just typical codex hype for you.

Harlequins are drawn from all three subspecies of Eldar.
I doubt Dark Eldar that become Harlequins can use Psychic Powers due to the fact that Dark Eldar's psychic abilities have atrophied to nothingness.
Exodite and Craftworld Eldar do use Harlequin powers.
