[Warhammer 40,000] So .. who are the "lesser evil" guys in the Warhammer 40K universe?

So I have been curious about the Warhammer 40k universe for a while but I never interested to learn until lately


Now I have learned so far that the term 'good guys' is mostly subjective since every single race thinks they are the good guys and think that their actions are justified, even if it means committing horrible acts like blowing up an entire planet.
 

And all in all, the reality is, there are no 'good guys' in this extremely dark fantasy futuristic space guilty pleasure series.


But I am still curious who is the lesser evil of the of the whole Warhammer 40k universe.


It would make sense to side on yet Imperium of Man since they are human and we can only to able to relate to them, and it is very impressive that they are able to survive that long in the galaxy after the Dark Age of Technology .........


.... even though they are basically a super large extremely religious and fanatic Space Nazis who scream "HERESY!!!!" every time they speak

Though plenty of people agree that it is the Tau who are more fit to be placed in the category of the 'lesser evil ' guys

Edit ... Come to think of it, it just popped up in my mind.

If there was a D and D alignment system,  how will it be set up?

I think undoubtedly the TAU are the least of all evils by far in the 40k Universe. You can make arguments that many of the races aren't "evil" outright but rather are conflict driven by nature and don't act out of malice or forethought but rather just *be* Like the orks and tyranids. The orks enjoy war and destruction which aren't exactly friendly, but they seem to enjoy it for the sake of something to do. To pass the time because they are built for it. Tyranids are simply biological weapons roaming the stars improving themselves, its unlikely they pay much thought to the biomass they subsume. The TAU however are probably the only guys likely to do anyhting "good" on any consistent basis. Man and eldar likely occasionally do "good" things as it benefits them, but overall are pretty shitty. The TAU have been handed a shit universe but they still seem to want to just improve technology and explore the stars.
