(I probably quote it wrong anyway)
''If a prisoner is allowed to choose between death or serving in Starken's last chancers, they often choose death.''
To me, it seems like they rather want to die then serve for him and die.

Last chancer's aren't a regiment. It's like 12 guys.
Watched Dirty Dozen on the weekend: it was ok. Those old action scenes don't stand up to today's stuff.

It's not even close anymore! Death Korps with a resounding win. Tanith are barely holding off Catachans.
Release plastic minitures for these guys GW!

(also Praetorians somehow trounced Valhallans and Tallarn combined! My god, how did that happen?)

Those Valhallans are dead 'ard, wish they would make plastic models of them.

To be fair to the Last Chancers, they start off as a regiment of thousands, then as the campaigns go along, those numbers are whittled down until you get the half-or-so dozen final survivors, for the final mission.

Freakin' come on, Schaeffer has been rebuilt 6 times! They grew him a new arm!

Vostroyans. They have hats. Cool hats.

Tanith but thats cause i m an abnett-fanboy so you know...

Cadia because of CREED!!!!

But Cadia becoming most badass of all the Guard would require some sort of tactical geniuCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!

Pool's closed due to tactical genius!

Creed uses his tactical genius to outflank death itself.

I guess I was thinking of that old IG codex of last chancers (or maybe it was White Dwarf) were there was 12 characters in one squad. The had guys like "Hero", "Animal" and "Shiv". Those guys were cool. Lexicanum states they has 4,000 troops in 993M41 but got whittled down to 250 guys after 2.5 years. I guess they are a legitimate regiment. Nonetheless, I prefer the Savlar anyway.

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!

Has to be the Catachans.
You know why? they get a 5+ save, the same as other guardsmen, from their muscles alone. That, gentlemen and ladies, is hardcore.

Yes, they get a 5+ save based on pure manlines but a Tanith could still sneak up behind him and hit him on the back of the head with a shovel.

omg you have 2498 points of Praetorians!!! Is that even possible? They must have like 12 models. That's dedication.

Death korps, followed by Steel Legion and in 3rd place Catachans

Reading The Taros campaign right now. Elysians have bullpup lasguns which is pretty awesome but they don't have a rapid fire setting which is not as awesome. It's so they don't waste ammo which they know will be in short supply behind enemy lines. Comes complete with a 50 round clip that has photocells. Overall pretty badass.

Men Of Tanith, Do you want to live forever?!!!
Don't tell me Tanith aren't badass

Catachans because they come from a planet where simply going to the shops makes you liable to have your face bitten off by a flower.

Death Korps. for sure.

I'm surprised you say that given your avatar is Gaunt's ghosts cover artwork.

Death Korps or Steel Legion for me 'cos they look the coolest.

Im surprised the cadians have been slated so badly, I really like the Cadians. I was so pleased when the new Cadians were released, cos I always liked the concept but thought the models were pants.

Gotta be preatorians.

"Sah! The natives are charging! what shall we do?!"

"Form a line of bayonets and advance slowly firing."

Most badass.

Tanith First and Only.

The Verghast women of that regiment do more than the men of most other armies.

And they have Scout Sergeant "killed a fething Chaos Dreadnought" Mkoll.

shhh, he doesn't like to talk about that cuz he's so badass he doesn't want mere mortals to know about his badassery.

Just started reading The Seige of Vraks and wanted to say the Death Korps is the darkest, grimest IG ever. They are the very embodiment of 40K.

I would pick my army. But that is not listed so Catachan Jungle Fighters. guys with knives and could kick a chaos space marine from Terra to the eye of terror.

Catachans, definitely. Capturing a Lictor to set a trap for a tyranid swarm with its own pheromones, and bathing themselves in ichor to keep from being noticed . . . The novels are grade A bada$$ as well. And they have 3 entries in the new codex right? straken, harker, and marbo. Those guys alone make catachans worth it.

as far as looks go i'd say dkok.

Catachans for the win. C'mon, they're just awesome, you know it.

Cadians are the definition of generic and boring, they have no character

I wouldn't say that. Cadia is an interesting Idea: an entire planet under arms at all times out of neccesity. I see them as a long suffering people. They have so many men killed in battle that there isn't enough land for all the tombstones.

Just like every other imperial planet...

except tanith lolololol
