They "Breed out" the black rage? i suppose they killed all the genes wiv the signs or sumfink?

The Lamenters have the worst luck don't they.

Lamentor: "Yo! Wassup, Huron?"
Huron: "Not much, just a little problem with some Admin freaks"
Lamentor:"What kind of problem?"
Huron: "...Tax problems"
Lamentor: "Oh, need help?"
Huron: "Actually..."

The Lame-nters have one of the ugliest color schemes ever. And one of the lawlsiest backstories ever.

True, but you have to pity them. Both for their colour and their backround.

"lawlsiest"?

I'm a big fan of both Black Templars and Space Wolves cause they're like space knights and space vikings.

The only good thing I can think of about Ultramarines is they probably never run out of gas. I mean come on, they come from Planet Gas Station.>.>

I'm sorry but i gotta say it, BLUE DA BEST!
On a serious note however the exorcists (sp?) red paint job bone details and every single member has been posessed by a deamon and then freed from it making them almost immune to the effects of chaos. Also their banner is a deamon's head it just looks cool.

True, but i don't know if they are a "chapter" as such. They are not really organised or operating that way.

That's like saying your fav guard regiment is the Storm Trooper squad. While cool, they are not a regiment.

Tell that to Sanguinius, who has massive temples in his name right next to The Emperors Temples, or Leman Russ... Ya know, the whole Hammer of the Emperor Leman Russ Tank thing.
and legion of space marines
Why? Because they did sod all in the Heresy while Salamanders, Blood Angels and Space Wolves took heavy Losses.
and there primarch wrote the codex
And? That codex almost Caused a Second Civil War.

Only becuase SOMEONE was too stubborn to realise that having huge legions in the hands of one person LED to the Horus heresy.

Pre Heresy Luna Wolves, they are recognized as being the best assault army (not crazy, Mongolian, goth, upset, little brothers, dress wearing or wolf-y)... and that's what space marines are about.

Tabletop quality Orks for Sale. Plenty of converted vehicles. Moving and don't want. PM for details.

Best chapter is probly the Legion of the Damned. In 2nd edtion they had WS5 BS5 LD10 on All their basic troops, their "chapter master" had WS8 BS8. one of their veteren sergents has a skull that instakills enemies and raises legion of the damned from the dead.

the new codex rules for LOTD leave me disappointed. But they are still pretty pimpsauce.

the second best is the Space Wolves. Because I am a shameless Fanboi. I mean because they are awesome and win at everything.

THE HORUS HERESY: Emprah: Hours, go reconquer the galaxy so there can be a new golden age. Horus: But I should be Emprah, bawwwwww! Emprah: Magnus, stop it with the sorcery. Magnus: But I know what's best, bawwwwww! Emprah: Horus, tell Russ to bring Magnus to me because I said so. Horus: Emprah wants you to kill Magnus because he said so. Russ: Fine. Emprah's always right. Plus Ole Red has already been denounced as a traitor and I never liked him anyway. Russ: You're about to die, cyclops! Magnus: O noes! Tzeentch, I choose you! Bawwwww! Russ: Ah well. Now to go kill Horus. Russ: Rowboat, how have you not been doing anything? Guilliman: . . . I've been writing a book. Russ: Sigh. Let's go. Guilliman: And I fought the Word Bearers! Horus: Oh shi--Spess Puppies a'comin? Abbadon: And the Ultramarines, sir. Horus: Who? Anyway, this looks bad. *enter Sanguinis* What are you doing here? Come to join me? Sanguinius: *throws self on Horus's power claws* Alas, I am undone! When you play Castlevania, remember me! *enter Emprah* Emprah: Horus! So my favorite son killed my favorite daughter! Horus: What about the Lion? Emprah: Never liked her. Horus: No one does. Now prepare to die! *mortally wounds Emprah*Emprah: Au contraire, you dick. *kills Horus* Dorn: Okay, now I just plug this into this and . . . okay, it works! Emprah? Hellooooo? Jonson: I did nothing! Guilliman: I did more nothing that you! Jonson: Nuh-uh. I was the most worthless! Guilliman: Have you read my book? Dorn: No one likes that book. Khan: C'mon guys. It's not that bad. Dorn: I guess not. Russ: You all suck. Ima go bring the Emprah back to life.

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

Naturally this comes purely down to opinion, and as Games Workshop has every faction possess their ups and downs, this is hard, and almost impossible to pin down.

That being said, I like pointless forum speculation!

I'm gonna say Blood Angels, 'cause I play 'em, they're red, and they have one of the only chapter masters that isn't a total jerk (at least he didn't appear as such in the only piece of fiction he's been in (Bloodquest)).

Yup, Blood Angels

I'm still saying Iron Lords. They're one of the only chapters that GW haven't paid any attention to, so therefore they are brilliant

"You have commited the ultimate heresy. Not only have you turned your back on the Emperor and stepped from His light, you have profaned His name and almost destroyed everything He has striven to build. You have perverted and twisted the path He has laid for Mankind to tread. As your own decrees have stated, there can be no mercy for such a crime, no pity for such a criminal. I renounce your lordship. You walk in the darkness and can not be allowed to live. Your sentence has been long overdue, and now it is time for you to die."
