Necrons are cool but they ain't number 1. Eldar are only good if they're on the receiving end. I.E. The only good Eldar is a dead one. Tyranids are meh. Orks are cool. Loyalists and Chaos are the bee's knees. Reading Horus Heresy and Ciaphas Cain books has confirmed this for me. I share your sentiments about the Tau. Also I'm becoming increasingly convinced that MoonBear know literally everything in existence. That guy is a walking knowledge bomb. And it's awesome. I highly recommend the Eisenhorn/Ravenor series. The Bequin series will soon round out the trilogy and is ongoing. The two Grey Knight books are perty gud also. Inquisition (and Grey Knights before Matt Ward) 4 lyfe
Definitely agree with Eisenhorn series. The Horus Heresy Series is also good to read, but some of it can be a bit hit and miss. If you have a favourite Chapter though (and I'm pretty sure everyone has a favourite Chapter) it's definitely worth picking up the corresponding book. The first few books that cover Garviel Loken are definitely a recommend even if you don't like the Luna Wolves/Black Legion.

Also a fan of the Legion HH book. shittons of small details you only notice on re-read, and realize that each detail potentially radically alters plot points.
I'm a sucker for the Alpha Legion. So much inception value.

The Alpha/Omega backstory is great. Also, pretty Reasonable Marines.

Unless it's the DoW games.

That the Word Bearer commander was more sane than the Alpha Legionnaires in DoW was kinda headscratch.

Forge World also has their own Chapters, which are pretty sick.
Space Sharks pretty top tier chapter imo.

My favorite version of that monologue.
All this talk makes me yearn to buy 40k models but...neither the time nor monies to afford the hobby.

Buying and assembling a basic, 500 - 1500 pt army is about the same as buying a system and a game, or building a nice PC. It's cheaper or even with a month's worth of going out to a bar. My manga collection is worth exponentially more than my 40k army.
People seem to have this impression that 40k is the most expensive hobby in the world, but honestly it's pretty comparable to anything else.

Your threshold for expensive may be higher than most for hobbies  Good point regardless.

Also, guys, stahp. I already want to get into WH40K, but have no real reason/money/time to do so. Also, I don't actually know anyone who plays.

That's awful. Doesn't roll off the tongue at all. There's a reason no one uses pyrrhics for nouns or actions. Do you even English?

wut how do you say "cheefles?"
"Cheep" can be stressed quite naturally as a monosyllable, but when you replaced the p and leave it at "chee" with "fles" as the second syllable, it is impossible to stress the first syllable.
