Really?I have never found landspeeders reliable! I prefer Deathwing instead.

I really don't think those two things are comparable.

Yes, everyone prefers airliner-sized dragons made of molten rock and held together with elementium plates, that can one-shot any player character in existence, over landspeeders. ^_^

Wait, these are the 40k forums... why are you talking about WoW stuff?

My most successful unit would be my IG veteran squad with shotguns, meltaguns, a power fist and a Chimera.

I think he refers to the Dark Angel Deathwing company.

Since I play against a player who spams Death Company and dreadnoughts, and deep strikes them, My Best UNit is Logan Grimna, who killed 7 death company when he only had one wound remaining. My hero forever

"Listen closely Brothers, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our Chapter itself is dying, even as I am now dying, and our foes shall gather to destroy us. Then my children, I shall listen for your call in whatever realm of death holds me, and come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Wolftime."-Last words of Leman Russ the Primarch of the Space Wolves Chapter of Space Marines.

Devestators have served me pretty well but props to my Land raider who killed Marneus Calgar twice and Mephiston once

Well I'd say Death company, because "spaming" 10 of them and 1 dreadnaught seems to just rampage through even orks!

Daring Dark Eldar Raider Rider





Sarasota

Well, for me my most successful unit has to be the basic Guardsmen. cheap, expendable, devastating in mass volleys. They actually killed a Daemon Prince in one game.

A close second has to be my Lord Commissar. He once survived an attack from an entire squad of Traitor Marines, emerging without a scratch.

i once saw a lone guardsman take the last wound off a DP in Close combat, it was awesome, if only my guardsmen had such luck...

actually, one time i did call in an earthshaker blast from Master of the Ordinance that destroyed 2 landraiders and immobilized a rhino in 1 shot(my enemy had them bunched together), and only about 1/2 of his CSM's made their saves from the explosions. So i then circled up with my chimeras and veterans and just unloaded. It was awesome, i lost 140 pts that game.

Just to clarify from earlier, his greatest strength isn't the amount of wounds he has, but its that he has 5 attacks at strength 10 that ignore both armor and invulnerable saves, ive made many people who play terminator spam throw their dice

Dour Wolf Priest with Iron Wolf Amulet

My most consistent model is my Venerable Dreadnought. I ran it as Bjorn Fellhanded once and he killed a Stompa in CC, a Leman Russ and immobilized a Battle Wagon in 3 consecutive turns.

However, the most impressive performance I've ever seen was my brother's Chapter Master. In 1 battle he killed over 500pts worth of Nids nearly single-handedly (1 Tyrant, 1 Tervigon, 2 Zoanthropes, dozens of Gaunts and Genestealers, etc), and yet he still lost the game.

Yes, my Venerable is probably my 2nd best!
