I like Sisters of Battle because they're fairly challenging to play.

I like Dark Eldar, but there isn't necessarily a best race.

They are all so different, it's hard to say which is best.

Tau are fun because of their massive ranged attacks, but lack melee. I like Sisters because they are very mobile but you need an aggressive strategy. I've been playing Chaos Marines and they seem fun, but I haven't mastered them yet.

Space Marines are probably the most well rounded but they are boring if you ask me.:Horse:

I dont think there is a "best" race, but I like to play as the I.G.

Necrons as they are the most self sufficient. Can build their own power in a little corner, immediately spawn loads of soldiers without cost of power to field them, the builder scarabs take over points of requisition so you don't have to waste time with your warriors, no issues with morale and their headquarters is the toughest turret in the game. In a pitched long drawn out battle, they win via attrition since they're moraleless and take a good hefty beating.

Are sisters of battle still broken? if they are then we all know who is the beast race...

There is no defined Best Race. I like the Tau and Imperial Guard for bunkering in and holding until I get some great units out. But someone can easily play Space Marines and win 100 times. Someone can play the Orks and do the same. Everyone has a strength.

While there is no race that is the outright best in the game, there are times when some reaces are clearly better than others. It greatly depends on the matchup.

On some 3v3 maps, Chaos Defilers can open fire at all 3 enemies from their own HQ. It is very easy to supress your opponents this way, and Dark Eldar cannot counter this until T4 (DE's only other option is scourge, which don't do well against artillery).

In this matchup, Chaos is clearly the better race over Dark Eldar. This is not a good thing and is actually a big flaw; because every game should strive for balance. Unfair advantages do not make for GG's.

Still, if you didn't know this trick you can get destroyed by the Dark Eldar, but yes there are different Races that are better than others. Like the Sisters can be bad if they forget their Faith

The game is Massivly Rock Paper Scissors based at times... there is no clear best race, unless you tell us who your versing...

For example, IG WREAKS Necrons every day of the week, but Orcs almost Wreak IG just as bad... Sisters of Battle Destory both Orcs and IG, but Necrons Wreak Sisters...

Not to say you cant make it work in every situation, but some races stratagy just hard counter others normal play style.

How about you learn to play before talking bullcrap, its almost exactly the opposite to what you said lol

There's not really a best race universally. It all depends on your strategies and your play style. I like the Tau personally
