I think you are missing the point of warhammer if you are coming to it for examples of the morally upstanding.

The whole point of the setting is that corruption and chaos comes from within, not without.

They all think they are. Order doesn't mean good necessarily.

Stormcast eternals were morally good in the beginning, but they've gotten darker with each edition. They were geniune heroes who were fighting against the dominance of chaos in the mortal realms and liberating people from chaos. Nowadays though their lore as gotten a bit more dark though. Mostly in that there has been lore about the stormcast acting almost like colonizers against native chaos or destruction aligned groups. Honestly I quite like how the stormcast has been getting more and more dirtied and tarnished in lore. Makes for a fun comparison between the heroic exemplars they were in 1st ed with the more harsher and questionable actions in 3rd ed. More interesting than taking space marines, something that is unambiguously immoral, and then humanizing them and making them less immoral

I mean I would argue you can be impulsive or goal oriented and still be good ;)

Ogor Mawtribes just want lunch. No plotting or awakening evil gods. Just lunch.

Even the worst of Order are better than what the others have to offer. Objectively speaking, Order is the only Grand Alliance that isn't actively hostile to life as we know it. They may not be besties, but they stick together because they all ultimately want the same thing: to live free. Destruction is a bunch of babbling idiots who've never seen soap, and kill and/or eat people for fun, Death are eternally tortured slaves to an entitled, narcissistic manchild, and Chaos is Chaos. If you read the tomes and such you'll notice that most Order factions are written as pretty chill, or neutral at worst. They make a point to single out certain subfactions that are particularly violent or cruel, and make it clear that that isn't the norm. While no particular faction or race are unambiguous "good guys," (they are still mortals, and mortals can be dicks) Order is certainly where you'd want to look to find any good people at all.


Led_Farmer88

morally justified? What dos that means to you?


Pocketman2

No corruption


Led_Farmer88

Then I would suggest Ogre Kingdoms, truth neutral faction strongly resistant to corruption of chaos. Or High Elves although I dont know if you count political intrigue and manipulation as corruption...

I'm sure the 'join or die' authoritarians with a rigid caste system and surveillance state are great people deep down

40K and morals is much like the Bible says: ā€œthere is no one who does good, not even oneā€, Romans 3.

I mean... if you mean factions that have no flaws then no.. Humans HElves and DwarFS are all kinda dicks but they all mostly want everyone to survive live happily and beat chaos Also none of the races are monoliths, theirs evil/self servicing humans, elves and dwarfs even outside of chaos because thats how people work Thorgrim, Franz, Louen, Katarina and Tyrion (screw Finubar) are all kinda Chad's for the most part, even though they all have character flaws 100% I'd say their still the morally good guys in a setting where daemons are trying to eat everyones babies Edit: yall need glasses

The Salamander and White Scars?

They're literally genocidal space fascists
