[[White Dwarf 139 (UK)]] (page 9) states that '''''"Humanity is but one of many races in the galaxy. However, none are so widely distributed or so numerous as humans."''''' Contradicting this however, several sources (including [[Codex: Orks (2nd Edition)]] page 4) clearly state that the [[Ork]]s are the most widespread race in the galaxy. A possible compromise of these two apposing statements would be that the Orks are the more numerous race but are split into many fragmented factions, whilst the [[Imperium]] is the largest cohesive empire.
The [[Necron]]s also believed to be even more widespread than both [[Ork]]s and [[Humanity]]
as on (page 17) [[Codex necrons: 5th edition]] it says that '''''"These Tomb worlds represent only a handful of the many millions spread throughout the galaxy."''''' and on (page 8) that ,,,,,"even now, at the close of the 41st Mellenium, billions of Necrons still slumber in their tombs, silently waiting the clarion call of destiny."''''' which shows that the Necrons could possiby outnumber every other race in terms of planets and numbers.
