He has 2!, count em, 2 POWR FISTS! with AP 2 boltguns. Makes it so you never have to make 1 morale check. Terminator Armour and an Iron Halo. Eternal Warrior and stats like a moster. Not to mention you can take up to 3 squads of freaking honour guard! He is a monster on the feild!

people take honour guard?

No, they don't.

I sure do! Those guys beast on the table, The've caused Blood Angels to run from close combat in shear terror, 10 guys with strength 6 power weapon, A 2+ save, and a chapter banner who get 4 attacks each on the charge, and oh if you take Khan they turn into strength 7 power weapons at iniiative 5! who can also leave combat whenever they please! its just a giant wrecking ball!

Massed Guardsmen Squads. Nothing can beat the looks of dozens upon dozens of Guardsmen charging the enemy...

I like Blood Angels Honour Guard with a Libby, storm shields and lightning claws all around with the banner. 25 power weapon attacks, rerolling to hit with the libby's power, then 20 of those with rerollable to wound. Now throw in FC so I5 S5 on the charge, a 3+ Invul, and FNP, This is lot of fun unit that people ignore due to other more visible threats and can take out most units on the charge.

Rough Riders.... Their old school cavalry in space!

19 gretchin with a runtherd. Seriously, I love this unit. I love seeing what kind of kills these guys can rack up in close combat. They never get shot because there is always something scarier out there, and by the time they get in the fight the enemy is so depleted that they can actually win combat. In one tournament alone my grots took out a unit of Incubi, a unit of wolf scouts, and a unit of imperial guard vets. 20 models on the charge is quite a few attacks after all.... and they could even kill something with the assault weapons too... although I do believe you have to jump up and down and do a dance if that happens.

5 x Beastmaster, 10 x Khymera, 6 x Razorwings
This Dark Eldar fully loaded Beastmaster unit has got it all. 21 models meaning 6 casualties to take a leadership test, 45 wounds, 86 attacks on the charge, 4++ invul saves, 19-24" charge range. What is there not to like about this unit?

Both have proven very fun to play, though I can't really use either effectively only having 3 Wraiths and one destroyer : / Regardless, having a 12'' movement through anything is great and a Str. 6 gun that can glance anything is to...love them both!

Wraiths don't have guns?

The 'and' was dividing the aspects between the two models, wraiths being able to move 12-24" through anything and Destroyers having the Str. 6 Gauss Guns.

I love the Space Marine Scouts. I've found them very useful.

Incubi space marine killers to the core and the fluff is the best can't beat their look even the old incubi are amazing plus drazhar anyone?

And absolutely no Invulnerable Save...which is yet another reason to play LR Executioners against SM players.

Thats what rhinos and land raiders are for

I enjoy an IG vet squad with a plasma pistol, 3 meltas, and demolitions (which gives them all meltabombs and a demo charge) If they don't kill a vehicle with melta and plasma fire, the meltabombs will in CC

Generally, the more customizable a squad is, the more I like it. For example, I have a major hard on for BA Honour Gaurd and Ork Nobz since you can give them damn near anything.

Very few representing Eldar here, so I'll bite. First I gotta go with a full Jetbike Council, loaded with 6-8 destructors. Opponents are just like "HOW many heavy flamers??" ;D And jetbike movement is fun as all get out And then since you're not in a tank and you can get LoS you can drop mind war on doods which is hilarious too

And I love a fully tricked out Warp Spider unit with a fusion gun/power weapon Autarch. Blasting guys at such close range and then jumping out is so annoying but oh so awesome Withdraw is tight too if you have to use it

I love me those DE raiders. They're cheap, you can take a bunch with you, and they go fast. Snagging a marine on those chain snares before unleashing the Wyches is just really funny.

I like my Predator. It has lascannons on the side and an autocannon turret. I like having that many weapons for so few points, and from the front it is really tough. I line up at the back of the table with my Rhino and Razorback on its sides so it can't be shot from the side, so it's really hard to kill unless someone assaults it.

Marbo. Det pack, hit and run, stealth, ws 5, bs 5, 2w, i5, a4, poisoned 2+ ccw, sniper ap2 pistol... and he pops up anywhere on the board further than 1" away from the enemy. And all for 65pts!!!

Whats that? Dante deep strikes behind my tanks using Descent of Angels? Hey, Marbo was behind that piece of grass. cue Pokemon-style "Demolition pack, I choose YOU!" and all of a sudden your opponents premier command squad is nothing but a muddy stain in a crater.

Kairos The Fateweaver is my current favorite. 3++ re-rollable and the 6" bubble of "NONE SHALL PASS" is cool enough but being able to throw 3 nasty things at 2 different targets (including spawning people while in CC) just kicks butt.

I spawned Vulkan, Dante, and a Canoness in a three game tourney with him... and he never died (or ran away) in all 3 games. Granted I have only put him on the table for those three games, the first time he takes a wound a rolls a 10 I may change my tune... ;-)

This is my favorite model I've seen in a while:



It's rules aren't too shabby either!

Can someone enlighten me on what that thing is?
I don't even anymore.

I'm with Griever (1st to post here)..

Space Wolves Grey Hunters are the best cost & benefit unit!

With all the characteristics wrote by Griever plus the countercharge ability...they are the very strong backbone of the army!
