I know this is done all the time, but I have not seen one on this site yet. So, here it is!!!

I know that we all like different Space Marine Chapters for different reasons. However, what I really want to know is what Chapter(s) do you actually game with? You can vote multiple times if you have multiple armies.

Thanks for the info, and may the Emperor protect!!!
(That's geek for "I hope your dice roll well for you.")

Dark Angels were the reason I got into 40k. I just loved everything about them. I still do.

Dark Angels, all the way.

Ozymandias, King of Kings

I started with the Dark Angels, but I'm a Boy Scout Marine now. 100%

The Sons of Hordini.

Yup, that's right.

DIY all the way, baby. But if I was going to play one of the official chapters (and I'm not ), it would be Space Wolves.

Crimson Hawks DIY chapter. Making up your own is half the fun right?

Ultramarines since day one.

I do have a full Deathwatch army as well.

BYE

DIY iron kestrels. If I played an official chapter it would have to be Iron hands or imperial fists.

Space wolves were my 1st
Looking forward to retooling them when a new codex comes along.
Black Templars.
Wth this army I figured out how to win at RTT.
Emperors Pointy Sticks.
I have all of the models I need to build this army, but it has been pushed back because I am distracted by something green.

HFN

Thanks for all the input. I appreciate it. Keep it going!!! Let's see who's really out there!!!

Knights Sovereign - was Grey Knights before they got all stupid in C: DH; is now grey marines.

Templars Illuminati - was Fallen Angels / Dark Angels before they were forced to wear pretty sundresses with feathers; is now crusading Templars with tricks.

My first Space Marine army was for Epic: the "Embers of Doom" (DIY).

For 40K, I play Ultramarines.

I was doomed the moment my friend, with whom I usually played WHFB, showed me a copy of the Realms of Chaos books. I loved the fluff about the God Emperor, and really wanted to play a Space Marine army. Then I saw the miniatures. Mind you, this was back in '91, so the Space Marines were pretty horrible. I soon discovered the Aspect Warriors of the Eldar, which are still amazing. Space Marines were not my top priority.

However, back in the day, you could buy a box of 30 Space Marines for $30.00. So, I picked some up. I have been happy ever since. Of course, my old "beaky" Marines have grown into Nurgle Marines. Using Greenstuff, I was able to put big bellies on the little guys. Now, they look like normal sized modern Marines, and their squating stance makes a little more sense.

I have a DIY Chapter using the Blood Angels rules. So far, the DC are AMAZING.

I have enough Marines to make half of a Company of other Marines, but I am not sure which Chapter to go with. Hence the poll.

(By the way, I graduated in '91, so I am not some old fart talking about the "Good old days"...most of the time anyway)

I actually converted some Space Wolves. Once.

I don't play SMs.

Used to play Space wolves...

Then i tried painting up some black templars...

Then I went to this website dedicated to the Raven Guard...and was hooked. Then they released the Chapter Approved Astartes insert in the White Dwarf about the Raven Guard...and I haven't looked back since.

I love the Fluff and their rules...and soon it will all change.

I also have a unit of Deathwatch thats almost complete.

Swords of Vengance - BA sucessor

Originally supposed to be a vanilla marine army, but, as BA were the 1st army I ever collected, I suppose it was inevitable that I would go back to them... *sigh*

What, no option for the non-loyalist variants?

wow a 4th of the people play DIY yet GW insists on constantly putting out more and more marine codices. I dont know why they just dont put out one and call it a day.

I play Tyranids, but I play against Dark Angels the most.


I think.



They all taste the same.

Like chicken?

Super powered chicken.

Ozymandias, King of Kings

I wonder if the Tyranids are afraid of the long term effects of genetically modified food? I mean, is 10,000 years enough time to determine if anyone who eats a Space Marine might become sterile or something?

Just some FOOD for thought......man, even I thought that one was bad....

BA all the way. I used to like the DA fluff back in the day but the newest version is the epitamy of lame.

Wow, I am very suprised at the number of smurfs. I almost never see them. And everytime I go to a different store to play there is another DA army.

I'm getting into SM after my Tzeench list is done... I like the Blood Ravens for the part they have in Dawn of War and their mysterious nature, but Ima do a DIY chapter.

None. I HATE sm.

DA since day one. I have toyed around with some DIY but in the end I always come back to the boys in green.

Pre Heresy Dark Angels. They started as a DIY DA successor, but have grown into the current Pre Heresy version. Now if I can complete that Custodes unit for them...
