			===[[Adeptus Mechanicus]]===
			An empire within an empire, the Adeptus Mechanicus form the technological backbone of the Imperium of Man. They control nearly every aspect of life that has to do with machines, from changing a lightbulb to building the great space ships or the mighty Titans. They practice a different religion than the rest of the Imperium, the so called "cult of the Machine God", which considers the Emperor as the "Omnissiah". Their infatuation with machinery makes them clash frequently with other branches of the Imperium, but considering it wouldn't be able to run at all without their expertise, they get a pass.

	To help keep themselves from turning into [[Dark Eldar\|/d/eviants]], Craftworlders are extremely devoted to a culture based on various "paths", where individuals pick a job (path) and do literally nothing outside of it until they choose to leave that path, or get hopelessly obsessed with it. In crunch, this is reflected by the fact your units each do exactly one job really well. If you try to make them do something outside their intended roles, they'll suck absolute ass at it and likely get promptly face-fucked by the thing they couldn't kill properly.

These days, Craftworld eldar are... okay. They have a few solid workhorse units and very flexible support options, but many of their unit options are undertuned for the points you're dropping on them.

It doesn't help that their model line is now the single most archaic set out of the all 40k factions, with over half of their selection being metal (mainly the characters), finecast resin or an unholy combination of finecast and 20+ year old plastic casts.

They are [[Gork\|brutal]], [[Mork\|kunnin']], and brutally kunnin'. Their knowledge of technology is hardwired in their genes. Because of this, and despite their lack of any sort of structured education or training, they possess proficiency with all kinds of technology, which they inevitably utilize for their armaments (of which [[Dakka\|firearms]] and [[Looted\|vehicles]] are the most common). Also, they like to steal vehicles and weapons of other races. DEY KAN LOOT EVERYFING! They are often very resourceful, able to construct several working vehicles and machines out of mere scrap and make them work because of latent psychic abilities. Ork weapons are massive, with both [[choppa\|blades]] and [[Ork Gunz\|guns]] that would turn a [[Necron]] a lovely shade of Orkish green with envy.

	A large contributing factor in the Orks' success is their ability to reproduce extremely fast because of their fungal-like physiology. Depending on the edition, an Ork emits throughout his life somewhere between a lot and a shitload of spores, each of which is able to grow into another Ork (or orkoid organism, such as grot or squig; note that there are enough orkoid phenotypes to fill out an entire planet's ecosystem). Orkoids breed through asexual reproduction.		A large contributing factor in the Orks' success is their ability to reproduce extremely fast because of their fungal-like physiology.

	Space Marines are generally regarded as something of a "noob army", mainly because every twelve-year-old ''40k'' player has a raging hard-on for them, and almost every unit in the listings has at least a 3+ armor save, making them rather hard to kill. The Ultramarines in particular are an extremely popular choice of Space Marine Chapter, and their blue design coupled with the small size of the miniatures often leads to them being referred to as "Smurfs". Thanks to [[Indrick Boreale]], the Space Marines in general are frequently called "SPESS MEHREENS", or variations to that effect.

	Anyone who doesn't play Space Marines is either a Tyranid player, a [[Eldar\|a prancy little fairy]], or more than twelve years old. Probably all three, since no one cares about armies other than the aforementioned ones, and 'nids are totally fabulous. Also, twelve year-olds play ''[[WARMACHINE]]'' as hard as they can.

	The Space Marines of today look very different from the glory days of ''Rogue Trader'', where they earned the nickname "[[Beakie]]" for their fuckawesome helmets. GRIMDARK fluff was less prevalent, and Mahreens were psychotic killing machines, not monks for TEH EMPRAH.
