A Quick Guide to Choosing a Warhammer 40,000 Faction

Choosing a faction in Warhammer 40,000 can be a daunting task, especially for newcomers. Each faction has its unique lore, aesthetic, and playstyle. Here's a quick guide to help you decide:

Consider Your Playstyle:

  • Aggressive and Brutal: If you enjoy charging into battle and overwhelming your opponent with sheer force, consider factions like the Orks or Chaos Space Marines.
  • Tactical and Precise: If you prefer a more methodical approach, focusing on careful planning and precise execution, Space Marines or Adeptus Astartes might be your ideal choice.
  • Sneaky and Deceptive: If you enjoy outmaneuvering your opponent and striking from the shadows, Eldar, Dark Eldar, or Tau could be a great fit.
  • Mechanically Superior: If you're fascinated by advanced technology and overwhelming firepower, the Necrons or Tyranids might be your calling.

Consider Your Aesthetic:

  • Grim Dark: If you're drawn to the gothic and gritty aesthetic of a war-torn galaxy, Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, or Orks might be your preference.
  • Alien and Exotic: If you prefer the otherworldly and alien, consider factions like the Eldar, Dark Eldar, or Tyranids.
  • Futuristic and Sleek: If you're more interested in advanced technology and clean lines, the Tau or Necrons might be your choice.

Consider Your Lore:

  • Space Marines: Noble warriors defending humanity from the horrors of the galaxy.
  • Chaos Space Marines: Fallen heroes corrupted by dark powers.
  • Orks: Brutal and savage alien warriors driven by violence and destruction.
  • Eldar: Ancient and powerful race struggling to survive.
  • Dark Eldar: Twisted and sadistic offshoot of the Eldar.
  • Tau: Advanced alien race seeking to unite the galaxy under their banner.
  • Necrons: Immortal robot warriors awakened from slumber.
  • Tyranids: A vast, hungry hive mind consuming everything in its path.

Ultimately, the best way to choose a faction is to explore their lore and playstyle. Consider what interests you most and what kind of gaming experience you're looking for.

Remember, the most important thing is to have fun!
