    Honestly any race to be in the 40k universe, i would be a tau. You get AC.

Possibly the best faction to live in as they dont know the horrors of the galaxy so they are blissfully unaware and hopeful rather then constantly feeling a sense of doom

      Eh, resources are always finite, the greater good is always designed for those considered greater than the rest. You'll likely end up in the same conditions as you would find yourself in the imperium. Except you're now a heretic, so when you inevitably die, you'll find yourself without the emperor to stop the warp from devouring your meager soul. Me, I'll happily eat my corpse starch and pick up my lasrifle to kill the alien, heretic, and the traitor..
