As the title says I'll start:
Pedro Kanto and Sternguard. Why not because of the Pedro Kanto's rule that makes them scoring, but his 1+ attack makes them sick in close combat as well with 3 attacks and Dorn's Arrow that adds that extra 4 shots you need to kill that last guy.

Lash Prince/Sor + Pie Plate (oblits, BM, Vindi, Defiler) or Assaulty (raptors, Zerkers).

Prism and ...another Prism.

Shrike + 10 Assault Terminators.
Vulkan + mass weapons to maximize his chapter tactics.

...

How about:
NAMED CHARACTER + Units/weapons/wargear he maximizes. Right so that should cover most of them.

Fortune seer with something durable (Wraithguard, SeerCouncil)

Chenkov/Lord Commissar and Conscripts. Turns them into 'nids.

Autocannons and grenade launchers in line infantry squads.

C.S. Goto and multilasers(this pleases him).

Kharn + kittens.
Kharn + Lemons.
Vindicare Assassin + Farseer...Episode 1, Love Blooms.

Seriously wishing:
Typhus + Eternal Warrior would work...

Terminators and a Librarian with Nullzone. The other power doesn't even mater, terminators cause opposing models to take invulnerable saves, then Librarian makes the opposing player re-roll those saves.

also:
20 Ork Boyz and a Battlewagon

The best would probably have to be

Terminator Librarian w/ Nullzone and Vortex in Terminator armour w/ a Stormshield and some Assault Terminators.

Forces rerolls plus if needed can blast the crap out of a troop transport or vehicle and the squad can still assault.

Creed and anything.

Although Creed and Seraphim is my current favorite for Guard.

First turn charge with Stubborn 3+ inv troops that can Hit and Run at whim while my gunline shoots the crap out of you ftw.

Seraphim are jump infantry. Aren't Jump Infantry and Infantry different types of units which would dissallow them from using Tactical Genius?

On Topic:
Shrike with CC scouts in a storm, gives them a 20 + d6 inch charge range after outflanking.

Battle Psykers + WH Inquisitor (should make for easy fears)

Boyz 'n MORE BOYZ!

I was going to reprimand you for being foolish, but you're right. It only states "infantry or vehicle unit..." Huh. Creed can't outflank anything.

On topic: Mad Dok Grotsnik and a 'Ard Boy Horde. 4+ FnP is statistically equal to power armor. 10 point Power Armored Orks are really good at their jobs.

4+ FNP is actually statistically better than power armor.

It offers a 75% chance to save against anything not AP1 or 2 (which would also beat power armor) and still offers a 4+ against what few non-ID AP3 weapons there are.

Yes, closer to Terminator Armor than Power Armor. Right then, (almost) TERMINATOR ARMORED Boyz for 10 points a model.

Warp spiders and harlequins. The spiders jump in to tie up a unit, then jump away at the end of your opponent's turn, then the harlequins assault the unit to clean it up.

Khorne Berzerkers + Land Radier

Bloodcrushers + Fateweaver

Skarbrand + Fiends

Thats all I have off the top of my head.

Callidus assassin for a word in your ear and then a trio of basilisks to blast whatever you moved into sight and into a little clump

Go to Ground in the open + Rolling alot of 6's.

Hammerhead and...Hammerhead...

or...

Hammerhead and Steatlh Suits.

Markerlights + anything Tau related shooting.

6 man Fire warrior squad + hijacked Pathfinder Devilfish.

Nurgle + Anything.

Great combinations:

Ghazghkull + anything

KFF Big mek + vehicles

Abbadon + possessed

Grey Knight Terminators + Straacken

Inquis w/mystics + tank squadron

Weaken Resolve + sniper fire/anything!

Creed + arco flaggelents (its like the only use in the game that I can think for them)

Now I feel foolish. :(

Lash + obliterators = lots of dead infantry

A great suprise for great unit combinations? If you ever play teams, then hormagaunts and plague marines. it's gold

good call on the team playing games. if you are playing teams how about this one

Straacken in a valkyrie + any cc unit in your ally's army. Effectively 23" radious furious charge aura. Now that is somethign to be scared of

If teams are allowed, then take Skarbrand in a CSM Khorne list. Re-rolling to hit berzerkers wins.

Ork Wierdboy-Warphead + Tankbustas: In the deployment-phase, I put them behind a building or a big rock. They won´t be seen by the enemy and they won´t fire
their guns automatically at tanks out of range. Then I wait for the Warphead(double chance) getting his teleport-effect. The tankbustas will get into a good position to shoot enemy tanks,
for example in a tank´s rear armour. They can also make better use of their boomsquigs.
