Wow, Necs are pretty good, a few took out my rhino once!

My most successful unit ever was my unit of 12 damnonettes. Codex Chaos Marines ver. 3.5.

Back when rending was done on to hit rolls and when you could charge the turn they got summoned. It has the bodies to take incoming hits or make some bad instability rolls and still remain potent enough to be a threat.

This unit always killed what it needed to and there was nothing in the game it didn't kill. 180 points very well spent.

Oh, wow! only 180 points, eh'?

My best unit is a BT Unit too.

High Marshal Helbrecht (8+D3 attacks, Power Weapon)
Chaplin Grimaldus (8 Attacks, Power Weapon)
Emperor's Champion (6 Attacks, S6 Power Weapon)
1 Sergeant with Lightning Claws, Artificer Armour (6 attacks, Power Weapon)
2 Melta Guns (5 attacks)
1 Apothocary (6 attacks)
1 Champion (6 attacks, Power weapon)
5 Initiates w/CCW weapons (6 attacks each)
1 Neophyte with Chapter Banner (4 Attacks)
4 Neophytes with CCW weapons (5 attacks each)

The entire unit will have Frag and Kark Grenades. The initiates have terminator honors and crusader seals. The unit will also have the Furious charge special rule(you are required to have it because of the high marshal) and will have the infiltrate rule (command squads can purchase it).

The attacks listed here are assuming you get the charge off.

So it is a total of:
16+D3 S5 I6 Power Weapon attacks
6 S5 I5 Power Weapon Attacks
6 S5 I5 Lightning Claw attacks
6 S6 I5 Power weapon attacks
70 S5 I5 Regular Weapon attacks on the charge

All the attacks will have prefered enemy (re-rolls to hit in close combat). The numbers given for amounts of attacks are accounting for the holy icon and the chapter banner along with the charge bonus.

The other unit that works well for me is 3 units of 10 Stormshield jump troops with a power fist, 2 plasma pistols, and meltabombs for everyone in each unit)

They work great in the current meta game of one amazing close combat unit and tank spam. They jump across the field and slay tanks at will. Plus they always tie up enemy units for forever. So if your opponent is running that 10 man terminator nit with abbadon you just toss a squad of these guys into it and hold them in place till you get the High marshal and his buddies over there to clean house.

15 x 12 = 180

When they slaughter more than 3 times their points in a game... totally worth it and it doesn't appear threatening unless you've played against it once before.

My TH/SS termies with 2 LCs in em. Killed Ghaz in CC when he charged me. Or Ezekiel with Hellfire. Wiped out a WHOLE unit of ork boyz with him.

My 'Herald Star' I run against my friends for Casual game, since they've all just started war gaming.

4 Heralds of Khorne, mounted with daemonic gifts aplenty, with 3 Blood Crushers. This is one wrecking ball which cannot be stopped. Believe me they tried!

Yep, I bet that they own!

An full unit of Incubi! Nothing goes through an entire army like a magma knife through butter like that unit! Nothing can stand it!

For Dark Eldar? My Libby killed a bunch of Incubi.

My friend Reynen loves Incubi, and used to play DE. He says that they are a rally effective unit.

I think that my Libby is my most effective now!

Perhaps surprisingly, I've got to say my Vyper jetbike with scatter laser and underslung shuriken cannon always seems to rack up a ton of kills.

will be going to GW tyomorrow so will let you know if my assassin becomes worthless next to vanilla marnie tacs with flamer.

Probably my Khorne Berzerkers.

It's hilarious to see people's faces when you tally up the attacks from a charging squad of 10 and ask for 40 dice, then proceed to hit on 3s and wound on 2s/3s.

It's impressive to have a lot of dice at the start, but it's even more impressive when you're still holding the ones that wounded in cupped hands and pouring them into your opponent's.

They also kill quite a lot, which is always a bonus.

Ah, really? Nice!

Lelith and a squad of 9 Hekatrix Bloodbrides, 1 Hydra Gauntlet, 1 Agonizer, and 2 Razorflails.
In one game they walked through 2 30-man boy mobs and 2 squads of lootas.

Colonel Straken. I use the old Colonel Schaffer model for him. His kill record is pretty amazing. Including, but not limited to, Ork Warbosses, Company Masters, Dreadnoughts, Thunderwolves, and a Warhound Titan.

not as impressive as you think but still amazing

she gets +5 atacks for a league apart,so on the charge thats 10

still good job

Lelith can take out a lot of stuff....

A single squad of Tau Crisis Suit Fireknives.

They kill a decent amount over the course of a game (around 200 pts or so, their unit cost), but in several games they've made the difference. One game they managed to make not one, but two full Tactical marine squads (One with the attatched Chapter Master or similar Grand High Poohbah) Fall Back off of the objective and off the board. It's really fun when people forget markerlights can drop leadership as well as cover saves.

Easily my demon prince. He has killed alot of nids/crons/orks/tau and died just couple times. And one of the death causes was in fact a deep strike mishap, so that doesn't count . He can survive couple rounds of my friend's tau shooting phases easily. (The look on the friend's face is priceless )

And soon im gonna have 2 moar princes!

Without doubt, "Old 'Faithful'" (as the servicing Tech-Priests call her), or "Pluviae Iustitiae" (as the Order refers to her) - first and foremost of my Exorcists.

Good old Berzerkers and Plague Marines. They are excellent troop choices and they usually can hold their own in any situation.

My 20 strong unit of genestealers in my 2nd edition genestealer chaos cult. If they got into contact with the enemy it was over. Heaven help my opponent if I drew a flank attack tactic card. The 'stealers would hit a flank and just roll up the entire line. It was never pretty.

My other was Captain Awesome. He was a baseline marine captain with a bolter/melta combiweapon and a single lightning claw. Somehow he *always* won in hand to hand combat no matter the odds. At one point he found himself surrounded by a full squad of sisters repentia and even killed all of them taking only a single wound in the process. He went on like that all the time. Sadly he and his Imperial Fists have been sold off into the mists to make way for more Flames of War British models.

Skriker

Nice job!Thats cool!

Easily my good ol' Leman russ with pask and 3 heavy bolters. And in my recent ventures into BT, The Empreors champion and Sword Breatheren have proved viciously effective.

Yep, I think that the LR is probably the best for apoc (except for the titan).

Mine was my 15 burna boyz in a battlewagon with the KFF big mek. Between the burnas and the deff rolla, they sometimes killed three times more enemy models than the whole rest of the army combined. In one game, they killed an entire 25-man IG blob, in another they killed a 10-strong harlequin squad, a 10-strong Dire Avengers squad and a 6-strong dark reaper squad, and the battle wagon used its deff rolla to wreck a falcon and a wave serpent. The 90 boyz served only to distract the other two units of dire avengers and die to an Ork. Such is the life of the Orks. That was their last hurrah, as after that the Burna Boyz became a primo fire-magnet.

My first Ravenwing Landspeeder build with Elmer's glue (don't ask). It has never died before it made back it's points, and in one tourney it took down two other landspeeders and crippled a third before it went down in a fiery crash. The whole game the opponents where gunning for it too!
