That one unit, in any army, that is just your favorite. It's a pleasure to use, it's a pleasure to look at, and its fluff is awesome.

My personal favorite tends to vary, but at the moment, there is nothing more amusing than seeing an Ironclad Dreadnaught drop-pod down and tear through your opponents back line. I have also been known to enjoy Assault Terminators blitzing out of a Land Raider, as my name suggests, and turning a gunline into taco meat. That one's always a winner.

I have one random assault sergeant who's built up quite a bit of fluff on his own - mostly from surviving every single game, no matter what.

I call him Sergeant Bob.

As far as official fluff goes, I like Mephiston.

My Crimson Fists usually contain two Sternguard squads with powerfists, and one has Pedro attached. These would be my favorites, I think. They always end up at the center of the fight and they rarely disappoint.

Back when I played Space Wolves, it was most definitely my Wolf Guard Terminators. This was before they had a plastic kit, so they were all converted with parts from the Space Wolves sprue, Chaos Marauders, and Chaos Terminators for a brutal look. Their paintjobs haven't held up well, but I still love that unit.

My Nobs. They're at the very top of my most reliable units that I own across all armies. They destroy other deathstars, dish out tons of wounds, tons of attacks, tough as hell to kill, and have their own Wagon.

Signature very related.

My fav unit is wolf scouts. They cause fear in the hearts of my opponents.

GK Interceptors with Incinerators.

Nothing more devastating than a perfectly placed heavy flamer template.

Kharn. He makes games fun by bringing some orkish randomness (and krumpin'!) to the table. It's always great to see him punk assault termies and enemy HQs, even if he gets eaten by a power fist eventually.

Ultramarine honor guard unit. God the models are so absolutely gorgeous.

Tyrannofex. Overcosted, but worth their weight in gold in higher points games where you'll see AV14 everywhere.

Seraphim. Easily my favorite looking model, paricularly the Superior with a power sword. Don't have an army to actually try playing with them.

Gameplay wise the Keeper of Secret is probably my favorite. It's my favorite looking Daemons model and it's a blast on the table. Dashes up to almost anything and rips it to shreds.

Death Korps Grenadiers and their Stormtroopers/Kasrkin equivalent.

Bobthehero wrote:Death Korps Grenadiers and their Stormtroopers/Kasrkin equivalent.

On an IG note. Baneblade. Win. I have no idea how they perform on the table, but as for looks and fluff, probably my favorite tank. And, of course, the OG Kasrkin.

For me, believe it or not (given I don't play IF at all), its Lysander. Awesome fluff, excellent model and stats, just plain fun to use too.

I've got one painted up in 3rd Company colours, running around with 10 sternguard.. and I am really starting to appreciate his nastiness (and rerolling vengeance rounds).

I've also got a custom made master of the forge which I really enjoy... but that's not what we're talking about here.

The first time I used my seer council (back when they were a unit) it killed just about everything it touched. It eventually ran out of things to shoot. Eldrad in particular has never died yet (at least not outside of fluff).

My friend's grotesque (named Freddy, if I remember correctly) also managed to take on a life of his own; the guy wrote a heap of stories about his shenanigans with the archon (now lost).

My company commander has single-handedly killed a Demon Prince and an entire unit of Death Company, amongst others.
This is mainly because he uses his CCS as a human shield, but I still love the guy.

My favorite unit in the imperial guard codex is the eviscerator priest. I really slowly stopped including them as they suffered worse than other things by my opponents adapting to my power blobs, but it makes me sad to make them go.

Gamewise, though they are worse than they were in the old codex, they're still pretty cool. Nothing like making 42 guardsmen reroll to hit, and I've definitely eviscerated vehicles before.

Fluffwise, they're the most awesome unit in the book. Crazy old man with an eight-foot-long-chainsaw-sword charging into battle. The scream of his whirring blade matched only by the screams of the priest's righteous hatred.

Plus, nothing is quite as awesome as punking a land raider with a single S3 guard model waving a chainsword. I've gotten more than one incredulous look as that blood talon dread or demon prince is knocked flat by a crazy old man.

It would be great if 6th ed changed something so that I could include them again, rather than being forced to spend those points on autocannon HWSs.

To be honest? Wraithguard!

A lot of people say they are too expensive, but I ran a unit of 10 of them slogging across the field, conceal and fortune on em. My opponent spent the entire game trying to kill them, and finally succeeded, but by then it was far too late

Also, it's satisfying to see the look on an opponents face when I tell them their statline and rules

I love doing that! A friend of mine at the LFGS has a triple Land Raider list that he keeps just to see the expression on people's faces.

So many things out my Daemons, Wolves, and Necrons armies to choose, but my favorite unit is everybody's favorite W2, 2+/3++, Fearless, FNP warrior of death, the Lone Wolf.

I have been on the receiving end of SO MANY SWEARS because of those guys.

Seriously, if you cannot fail a 2+/3++, they are just nasty and keep mulching through things. Once they finally get that one wound to stick, the kicker, Eternal Warrior, really takes the cake. I have had entire IG gunlines at 1750 empty into one guy, deal one wound, him proceeding to punch out a Russ, then a Chimera... and then dying in CC with guardsmen?!

My favorite was one walking across a table through a wall of Devilfish eating Railgun shots from Broadsides and the nasty shots from the Fire Warriors... punched through a 5 man Tau squad, punched through a devilfish... and then assaults Broadsides... to die. Without swinging. Was the biggest from both players!

At 2500, I tend to run three. I just don't care for scouts or wolf guard. Having my three lone wolves (TDA, CF, SS; 85pts!) is all I need to have a fun time!

I think the fan stories of Kharn the betrayer is what really got me into 40k. I'll always think of him as Kharn the pretty cool guy.

Game wise I love Broadsides. Not much to do other than point and shoot. When you're crammed between a pair of the most powerful cannons attached to a set of flimsy legs while getting charged at by a bunch of racist armor plated codex-thumpers there isn't much else to do.

Triarch Stalkers. Spider Walkers of doom and oh look, everything important I want to shoot at the target suddenly has a better chance of hitting. Or it makes tesla amazing.

I've a had a soft spot for incubi and scourges.

From eldar I dig swooping hawks.

But the favorite? So many choices. I think I'd have to say ork war boss. Krumps, bashes, splats....I'm a fan of being blunt, and you don't get more blunt than a 10 foot tall screaming green hulk with iron claws and mouth plate laughing while he runs through a crowd of death and bodies.

For Apoc.



THE BANEBLADE. (specifically mine, the "Thunderfury, Production number 9591")

For non apoc


THE LEMAN RUSS. and the favorite out of my lot.... i can't decide lol.

The SAG. so much funny, no matter how you roll.

for me its good old Bob'liel (belial), in a localc tourny he killed just under 1500pts over several games, it was madness

Sternguard + Librarian. (Preferably Tigurius.)

Soooo fun.

Howling Banshees. Okay, so they may not actually be the greatest thing in the Eldar Codex (I still think users here on dakka severely undervalue them) but gosh darn it if they aren't the single most kickass thing in the game. And they look damn fine while doing it.


Whoops, come out bigger than expected.

I have a Khorne Berzerker Skull champion that I have decked out with a Power fist that just refuses to die and ends up diving head first into impossible to survive situations after the rest of his squad has died in some horribly funny way.

I have dubbed him "Leeroy"

My forgeworld Flyrant has created his own fluff, and I live the look.

I'm torn between Harlequins and elder Rangers. I love the idea of outcast snipers that move like the wind and cause chaos and anarchy in the enemy ranks. I also love the Harlequin models and the idea of a squad of battle clowns smashing into the Emperor's holiest warriors and making THEM look like the fools.

I have this one Assault Sgt. who in 19 games has only died once, he has stood his ground against 14 genestealers and not ran, picked a fight with a unit of Meganobs and tarpitted them all game. The man has done wonders may the Emperor keep watching over him

Flamers of Tzeentch. Land them right next to the opponents favourite unit and watch it evaporate. Almost never survive to my next turn but always get their points back.
(This is particurlarly evil if using 2-3 units with the Masque tagging along.. )

nob biker... multi wound elites with wound diversification and a 4+ cover save, 3ish claws, 2-3 big choppas and a painboy will give almost anythign in the game pause as to how to handle them

This man is wise beyond his posts. And as a fellow avatar-ist...I must call thee friend. One hand is extended as friendship, the other holds a holy object with a pin

Flamers and the Masque are a dastardly combination

I have a veteran marine with a chainsword and bolt pistol. In the early days he was a regular marine captain, killing a carnifex and a remaining brood of genestealers in his first game. He then got demoted to tactical sergeant, before being promoted to Sword Brother for my BT. He's done a few cool things, like killing 3 GK termies as a sergeant, or surviving 4 krak missiles in the open as a Sword Brother. Most notably, he's never failed his leadership check though all the time I've had him.

I just LOVE Terminators. Of all types. Regular, Assault, Chaos, Grey Knight, whatever, as long as it's wearing TDA, I love it.

One of my favorites, Steel Legion Heavy Weapons Team. Three Missile Launchers, very fragile unit and dies almost every game, but not without causing frustration to my opponents. They held a Termie Lord in combat for three turns, with the Lord needing help from two different squads of marines to take them out. They earned a permanent spot in my army for that.

My favorite, the Deceiver from the old Necron Codex. I loved the model, that stats, the abilities and the look of horror on my friends face as it tore through their squads as though they were nothing. The look of horror was even better when they learned it could run from assault on their turn and head to a more appropriate target that needed dealing with.

I have grown to love Missle only Devs.
I use them to guard objectives, they may not be able to capture, but dang they are a massive determent.
Especailly when i put the objective in a tower. They got a clear shot of ALL of the enemies.

My Stormhammer has killed 4 Warbosses, a Warhound Titan, 2 Chaos Lords, 3 Deamon Princes and 5 Swarmlords.

"Hammer of Retribution"

Lootas. Even if they are BS2, the mere fact that a fully-loaded list can potentially throw out 135 S7, AP4, 48" range shots a turn makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Way back when - Madboyz

Back When - Nightbringer (old codex version)

Now - Zogwort

I know I posted these over somewhere else here on dakka recently, BUT THEY ARE AWESOME!! Wade Pryce may have.... "odd" hair, but he has the coolest army!



Oh and his hair:

Favorite character = Fateweaver

Favorite tank = Baneblade and possibly hellhammer varient.
I've never actually seen a stormhammer or seen it's rule but it sounds like its something that I would be interested in.

Storm raven despite it's box like consistency is my fav flyer though the valk comes in very very close

Long Fangs and Lone Wolves were the biggest reason I picked up Space Wolves. Definitely think they are some of the coolest non-named units out there.

Dreadnoughts of any sort are one of the biggest reasons for picking up Power Armour boyz to begin with.

Sanguinary Guard - something about a 1500 point BA army made of nothing but them and dante charging headlong into a greentide just somes up what 40k is to me - lets say it did not end to well for them though

tuiman wrote:Sanguinary Guard - something about a 1500 point BA army made of nothing but them and dante charging headlong into a greentide just somes up what 40k is to me - lets say it did not end to well for them though

This. Which is precisely the reason I'd put three Landraiders on the table. I know it's not comp. Doesn't win games. Doesn't buy its points back. Then why? It's fething EPIC.

The Leman Russ, the workhorse of the imperium. On the table the Russophobia combined with good armor and great firepower is wonderful, their fluff is great, a steel beast that never stops, runs on anything that burns. Wonderful tank.

Also, storm troopers, Krieg, Cadian and original kind, they're sweet models with awesome fluff

Lol.

Armored sentinel powerlifter.

Ailaros wrote:Lol.

Yes! Full of WIN!

My only gripe with the Stormhammer is that the offset of the second turret bothers my OCD. IF ONLY THEY FETHING LINED THEM UP ALONG THAT CENTER AGHTHBTHTPTH!!! I'd love to see a big ol' battleship of a tank line up those guns and just let off this massive broadside.

As a Tau player who still gunlines, Firewarriors and Suits are my favorite.

Also, as much as I hate Farsight's fluff and the fanwankery that's followed, he's made an above average counter assault unit and his body guard absolutely killinate anything they look at.

my full squad of scourges with 4 heatlances. they die mainly to the vehicles they make explode and they don't give 2 cents if im winning or losing, they always run away to survive because they fail leadership all the freaking time.

It's amazing when a unit isnt suicidal for the name of some cause I told them.

As an IG player I gotta say Marbo. There's something so damn satisfying about making him appear out of thin air behind something that urgently needs killing and throwing a demo charge at it.
At 65 points for what is essentially a reliable suicide bomber he's my favourite by far, he almost always kills multiples of his points cost and has been a total gamechanger a few times.

Did I mention his fluff is pretty cool too?

Leman. Russ. Battle. tank. It's a repurposed tractor with a giant gun and armor bolted to it. And its arguably one of the best tanks in the game.

My other favorite are my commissars. they always hold the line, and look cool as all get out on the table. Now if they could just hit smething I'd be set

Trust me, this thing is amazing at wiping out Horde armies in a short amount of turns. It's held the line against Tyranid and Ork tides more than I can count.

Oh, I mean no offense, it's just that that tank has like six "yo, dawg" things you could say about it, probably the most obvious being "yo, dawg, I hear you liked twin-linked heavy bolter turrets, so we put some twin-linked heavy bolter turrets on your twin-linked heavy bolter turrets so you can heavy bolter while you heavy bolter!"

After my game against IG today, my new favorite unit is definitely Kommandos (with or without Snikrot) took two units of them and outflanked, by the end of the battle they'd accounted for 2 chimeras, 1 vendetta and all their occupants (totalled about 30 veterans, I believe) who were in the process of outflanking me

IG Veterans, nuff said

Model wise: I really like My Chariots in my Daemon Army (and they tend to catch people's eye when I'm playing) and My Two "Shapers" (aka models that once were Shapers, but now just let me know where one kroot squad ends and another begins). And Biker Armies look pretty snazzy too.

Fluff Wise: Favorite's gotta be the Blue Horrors. What's not to love about two Spell Slinging Daemons trying to One-up the other at all time.

In Game: My Shield Drones. No matter What they always seem to get One kill (each) every time my suits get into CC.

Legion of the Damned. You heard me. Not because of their fluff, not because of the models.

Because I love it when the underdog succeeds. When my Legionaires falls down besides an IG tank battery, a space wolf CC unit or something simmilar and simple tears it appart. Granted, there are far between those moments. But when they come, it rocks. It rocks so hard.

This, good sir, is all the reason you need.

Dreadnoughts. Venerable Dreadnoughts. With PC and heavy flamer so that the better BS is completely negated

Oh and the Chaos-Version too!

Gimme an abandoned secret base deep up in the Rockies, a Baneblade for me and my bros, bikes, preds, all that jazz.

Oh, and burgers, bratwurst, all the accouterments, and TWELVE CASES OF GUINNESS!

Ven. Psy Rifleman dreadnought, not for the rules just the look of the autocannons

Stealth Suits. According to the fluff at once avoided and appreciated by Hunter Cadre commanders for their unpredictibility and unorthodox thinking, they continue to be a mainstay in my Tau army. The old models in a simple blue and black paint scheme look lovely, and there is a grim, visceral joy in picking up 18 dice and unloading them on infantry squads. Or the rear of transports.

If I keep them at just the right distance, the enemy has to make a difficult decision about whether to ignore them or engage them, and they have the abilities to make either decision the wrong one if supported.

In the heyday of the Fire Knife suit when people were still just warming up to the idea of Fish of Fury, mathhammer ruled the day and people ignored the Stealthsuit in favor of the FK for marine killing. Many an opponant was shocked to realize that a full unit of stealth suits kill as many marines as a Tarocha of Fireknives for cheaper, though at slightly higher risk and less versatility (though before Spacemarines had grenades standard, MANY tac squads were shocked to discover they were charging into terrain when hitting stealth suits and subsequently losing assaults to TAU...) . It helped fill out my anti-horde firepower (regular opponants) and was not long before horde players quickly decided that the suits had to go FIRST. Which only meant that (appropriate to the fluff) They became the bait to lure the enemy into the killing field...

TL;DR Stealth suits. Awesome fluff, awesome abilities, gorgeous models, and underestimated and poorly understood power piece in my army.

Marines, lose an assault to TAU?! HERESY!

Stormblade, just love that Plasma Cannon of doom.

I have a basic Chaos Marine model that I field as a Captain with Hellfire Rounds, Artificer Armour and a Storm Shield. He used to laugh at my friend's IG with the ability to ignore just about everything

Obliterators. They're terminators... with every weapon and they can move and shoot heavy. And they have 2 base powerfist attacks. If I could field an army of only obliterators, I would. Maybe the new codex allows obliterators as a troop choice. No one has seen the new chaos codex yet, so who knows.. it could happen

Very recently, I've gotten into nids. Lictors, Hive Guards, and Raveners, to me, are just awesomesauce. Lictors are like ultra-stealth hunter bugs, who go all predator-active camo, then decloak and slaughter some poor mook. Hive Guards are big ol' hyer-tough tank bugs that like skewering suckers with giant poison bone harpoons, and Raveners are all tunneling murder-cyclones.

The generic, vanilla, tactical space marine.

I can play no other army as long as this exists

Spoiler:

Whoops, come out bigger than expected.

Also my favorite. The pic is great too.

Necron Overlord on a command barge.

Nothing more to say

Look at my sig, can you guess?

Yup, the warlord nothing says doom like a god machine walking on your position. Its just so epic and awe inspiring to see it tower over the table.

As far as individual figs go, I'd have to go with either Cato Sicarrius or the Terminator Chaplin.

Always had a fondness for the old Great Gargants too

5 ogryns, with Yarrick, in a chimera.

Maybe not the best unit in the IG codex, but, rarely disapoints, hard to kill, and has taken out more than its share of things it "shouldn't be able to kill".

More original than most of the posts on this list too.

Abaddon The Despoiler.

I love the fluff behind the biggest bad guy in 40K.

I've been wanting to build a Black Legion army based around Big Evil since 2nd Ed.

I might do it for 6th Ed.

I love me some sternguard. the only thing that would be even better would be sternguard terminators, but alas, I would have to buy the badab war books and the astral claw master of the forge to give tactical terminators hellfire rounds. (IIRC)

My favorite Independent character would be vulkan, for his rules and for his weapons and stats.

Wolf Scouts. 110 points of suicidal tank busting goodness. I have five of them, each with Melta Bombs, 1 with a Meltagun. I then give them a Wolf Guard with CombiMelta and Power Fist for extra killy goodness.

My friend who plays a Footdar gunline is scared to death of those things. He deploys his Guardians in a line along the board edge to prevent them from coming on from his board edge and wiping out his War Walkers and Wraithlords.


As for models, Dreadnoughts are super cool but sadly I don't have the room in my list to run them. At armour 12 they'd also get popped way too easily with all of the anti-tank weaponry in 5E.

I know this is slightly off topic, but I recently played an apoc game with my titan where the other team had abaddon in a land raider.

I was able to demolish his land raider, kill almost all the dudes in his squad but after wasting a lava cannon and a turbo laser shot on him he was actually still standing. He is the only character I've faced that has managed to survive an assault by titan.

That's impressive.

I played against a Black Legion army with my GK Draigowing today and it was a bloodbath.

He killed in six turns:

T2 - Dreadknight. Guy rolled a 5 for his attacks.
T3 - 5 Paladins. Guy rolled a 6.
T4 - 3 Paladins and Draigo. Guy rolled a 6 and hit and wounded with all of them. I failed every save. This was a ten strong unit.
T5 - After his accompanying Terminators got killed by the remains of the 10 strong Paladin unit, Abaddon killed another 4 and then got knocked down to one wound.
T6 - Killed the last remaining members of the squad.

That was practically 1750 points he killed in one game. I'm never charging Paladins into Big Evil again.

To be fair, he rolled very well on his daemon weapon rolls, and likely pretty well on his saves. If you were playing me you'd be seeing more like:

T2 - rolls a 1 on his daemon weapon, fails his save, dread knight puts a wound on him
T3 - rolls a 1 on his daemon weapon, fails his save, dread knight kills him.

Then again, I am the master of 1s, to the point where I don't even bring terminators anymore because I will fail 1 out of every 2 armour saves with them.

My landraider crusader has a good reputation because it has slaugthered swarms of nids the first time I used it. After each battle I give it a new feature along with other victories models.

All time favorite have to be Grey Knight terminator squad from Companion times. Five lvl 4 terminator librarians with Nemesis force-weapons. That was some 1200 point unit. It was awesome to see it in action.

Mine is dominions.
With 2 flamers and a combi flamer and their faith TL them.
They can take out 30 boyz in a single phase...
