    Necrons are effing scary sounding.

    But if I were to pick up on Warhammer 40000, tabletop or Dawn of War, I think I like da Orks.

    Yeah actaully they did, they had the chicken walkers, which looked like sentinal rip-offs, and huge body suit armed with two mgs in the hands and a couple rockets if i remember correctly.

    The orks are o.k, but necrons carry very heavy fire-power and can tear down an army really quick. Although i stay loyal to my bio-engineered killing machines, they would never turn on me. Unless im out of synaps range, then im ****ed.

    Tau are a pretty cool race too in the Warhammer 40k Universe. They are very young but at the same time very technologically advanced race. They are basically only 2,000 years old as a race but already have some of the most advanced technology out of the other races that have been around 20 times as long. They have a hiearchael caste system which every citizen does their part for the greater good their philsophy which is kinda like communism.

    The Imperium of man has noted they have came to the Tau while they were still living as tribal primivites and caves, etc and then next time they checked on them they were conquering star systems.

    Then you have the Eldar which are pretty cool too they have a huge backstory and very advanced technologies and now live in artifical planets they have created due to the fall of thier uptotian society.

    Ugh, I don't like the Eldar. Only the Wraithbones are cool, everyone else is just...odd.

    Yea, a lot of their stuff looks...funny...to say the least but the technology and principles behind some of their stuff is cool. You can't deny that the Warp Spiders are badass for actually going into the warp and risk being caught and or trapped by whatever evil beings lurk in there. Then you have the swooping hawks that use like these nanotech wings that vibrate and resonate at a high speed to give them flight.

    I prefer the Imperial Guard and the Tyranids. There is nothign better then entire battalions of artillary pieces firing all at once while hoardes of under-soldiers charge the front lines.

    The Tyranids remind me of how nature can easily kill us and to respect it, before we teaer it down anyway. As each bio-engineered guant slowly becomes more advanced with every planet taken and absorbed. Now that is down right cool.

    An arachnid could pwn a siege tank.

    A tank shell would rip through a regular arachnid, a well placed burst from an assault rifle takes them down.

    NAh the borg use a different method, the tyranids do what they do on a DNA level. Thanks to the norn-queens they can adapt any enviroment.

    Yeah, uh, same with the Borg. The nanobots adjust the DNA and there's nothing the Borg can't adapt to.

    I thought the nano-probes didn't change anything on a dna level. I know they added the interal machines to help keep them alive, but guess i forgot.

    guys, is there any record of the "supposed orignal" creator of the first starship troopers map on starcraft? my older brother is now 23 years old and he was the very first person to make a starship troopers map on starcraft and someone else modified it and changed it and took credit for everything. my bro still has his old data of his first starship trooper maps to prove it. can anyone help me?

    Do you mean that one Starship Troopers map that was made by PanzerKevlar where you have to defend from an onslaught of bugs in whiskey outpost in the desert with an ammo count and stuff? Or are you talking about a different one?
