Best Race?

[Kram Noollow]

Im a pretty proficient player (damn dropouts no exp tho :P) and Im just wondering if anyone thinks there is a race which covers all bases really well, which races succeed early game/mid/late the best and which are the weakest. I know it all depends on play and build order but there has to be someone with a view!

And a view that isnt "SM because IM playing them" -_-

Appreciated just a little fun :D

Oh and BTW elite mod Grey Knights count

I like the imperials.

I think its either ork or chaos; Cultist can really drive your early game, bloodcrusher is a fantastic unit mid-game, alongside chaos natural bulkiness from being SM themselves. Lategame, chaos termies and heavy t3 units are strong enough to withstand huge fights.
Orks in general has good dakka and choppas in basically all tiers imo.

The best race? Well that depends if you have skill, in which case the Imperial Guard faction as they have the best of well rounded, and believe me or not offensive build. BUT they get raped by every faction unless the guy using them has played them for at least 600+ hours.

For the able-bodied noob, the Space Marine faction is the best as it offers the best balanced builds. Easy to understand in comparison to the other factions in the game.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FACTIONS: Aka the Orks, and the Chaos factions with a special mention to the Tyranid mob of death... Really these are the most broken ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this game, and "MOST" (Not all of them) players just spam their way to victory. Thats really all it is spamming Heretics, Plague marines, Zoanthropes, Ork Grenade ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and not to mention shoota, and slugga spam. If I see you play these factions this way, as a rule I WILL act like a complete prick and go over board on trying to rape your units by any means...

Have fun the Emperor protects!!

Would disagree, theyre hard to master especially in juxtopositon with the other races youve pleayed before-but theyre damn good if you at least know what your doing. Watching Indrid cast games really helps me :)

There isnt something like best and worst race. Only for you it can be easier to play for example chaos than eldar. I thought to make a guide about all in mp from units and tactics to maps but its a lot of work and most of my friends dont like this idea (reason? fair fight is good but only from time to time and crushing noobs is much easier and gives more fun. Mayby when they will change their mind). Every race has its advantages and disadvantages the same with tactic. Very important is what are we playing (I play mainly ranking 3v3 with team). In 1v1 losing 1 unit sometimes mean defeat. Your friend wont revive your hero. In most cases its after all in t1, sometimes t2. I think that eldars are really good but you need a lot of time played with them and a bit of skill. Space marines are much easier (easier doesnt mean easy). Tactical marines have only 1 ability and a lot of hp, guardians need upgrade to get 3 abilities (not 100% sure but: sield, granate and fast move) and arent tanks like sm. Good player can fight with anything against everything.

Orcs,nothing is bigger or stronger than orcs.
WAAGH!!!

I also think Imperial guard has supreme firepower,they are sometimes like glascanons,but they can be a nightmare with the right support.

[Kram Noollow]

Its not the number of guardian abilities, its mastering them all, particularly them grenades. I agree theres no best or worst but thats not the point- its kind of which is the strongest for you overall :) (that may mean the same thing but whatever)

Honestly i dont know the answear. Every race have something strong and week. Space marines dont have t2 and 3 advanced infantry units (even ig have ogryns), chaos needs a lot of resouces becouse their units suck without upgrades, orcs havent got good, strong vehicles and their hordes are good targets for nucks etc. tyranids dont have repair ability, have problems with units in the buildings, hordes are hard to control and good targets as orcs. Ig needs good command and is much better in defending than atacking, manticora is useless against good players (they will always find way to destroy it even in the middle of your base). Eldars havent got much hp, need upgrades and abilities to win, to show a real power they need unit, abilities or mixed comboses (sometimes they destroy whole armies but the more powerfull they are the more complicated as well). Strongest race is always this one which you play the best. You must have skill with 1 race (or more but always 1 is better for your playstyle). I met guys with hundreds battles played with 1 race and they were good but nothing special. They knew their race units abilities etc. Sometimes a guy with 60 more or less was a bit of a challenge. He didnt know everything about my race, his and other things but he had basics and "felt" his race. They often bacome "specialists players". Thousends battles with only 1 race and often 1 hero. From my experience i can say that the best test for this is fighting against guy with the same race and hero (especially situations like battle, heretics vs heretics, similar hp, you killed his unit and your runs alive with 10 or less hp). You dont have time to think a lot or make rules like when units have 10% hp they must retreat.

game is pretty well dam balanced for 6 races
each one has a equal chance if you know what your doing

[Jordan]

Eldar by my opinion, will explain why soon XD

[Red Paragon]

I feel tyranids. I could go into detail but basically you can do many things with them. One is called the "DAKKA STORM" which shreds through IG instantly. You can also make a "MELEE STORM" and since you can also combine these for the best results, this is why I feel tyranids are the best. They are equally balanced. And also, you can use tyrant guard as a shield, for instance, you charge the guard into someones line of sight and they fire on it, you use that ShieldWall thing so he goes down and constantly regens hp, while they are doing this, flank them, and then eat them alive.

I am best swarmlord.
