• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Not quite sure what you mean.. in game terms? Morally, as depicted in the background?

The thing about 40k is that there is no one 'good' army- all have strengths and weaknesses, it all depends on your style of play. For example, you have Space Marines, who are good at everything but excel at nothing- a jack of all trades. There is the Tau, really good at shooting but dire at close combat, and the Tyranids, who are the opposite.

Fluff-wise, there is no good side- every side is out for their own interests.
-The Imperium of Man, seen by a lot of newbies as the 'good guys,' are the most fascist, xenophobic regime in the history of mankind.
-The Eldar are a cruel, dying race, who care little about the other races (for example, it was the eldar that manipulated Ghazgull Thraka into launching his war against the Imperium at Armageddon).
-Orks live to fight, fighting each other if there's no-one else.
-Tyranids are just completely alien.
-Chaos are evil, having given in to their base desires, every man for himself.
-Tau can come across as being good, but they are only interested in themselves.
-Necrons want to kill every living thing in the galaxy.

Hope this helps, go to www.portent.net or www.dakkadakka.com, the real fluff-buffs can answer any other questions you may have :)

However corrupt the government may be, the defenders of the Empire (Ultramarines & Blood Angels, for example) are inherintly (I know I spelled that wrong) good.

A VERY good site for these kinds of questions is http://www.bolterandchainsword.com. It concentrates mostly on Space Marines and the Chaos powers.
