Which would it be?

I play Mechanized Orks. You know in Pacman where you run around gobbling up dots and the ghosts close in on you until you grab a cherry, then they turn and flee? That's what my orks are like. I run around the board and my enemy thinks that they've got me; then I Waaaugh! (Ghazghkull) and I'm suddenly fearless, fleet an auto-6, and can stretch out and hit just about everything.

My army is like Pacman.

What about yours?

**ph34r**

My army is the nameless long-coated goons of the enemy that you slaughter in every FPS game.

**Azezel**

My army is like one of the CPU players in Mario Kart. Really easy to beat most of the time - but every once in a while they get a blue shell (An Act of Faith) and it's so effective it's almost cheating.

It's also like mario Kart in that my army is screwed if it doesn't have vehicles.

(Edit: Why do I have a US flag next to my name? Believe me, if I'd crossed the Atlantic, I would've noticed...)

**H3ct0r**

My army would be Fire Warrior because it would crump you goobs like shas o what's his name.
No seriously it would be ... Fire Warrior again ... because it's TAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

**Corvus**

Judging by my armies performance so far, they would be in Halo, and they would all be Grunts

**Mad Rabbit**

My Space Marines are a lot like those Space Marines from Dawn of War.

But seriously... on a good day I'm Goldeneye for the N64: one man army.

On a bad day, I'm a grunt in Red Orchestra (über realistic WW2 shooter)

**sebster**

My orks are the guys in CoD you hate the most. They'll run straight at you with a knife while you sit there shooting and saying 'there's no way they should be able to get here and stab me'. They're the guys who'll run straight past an objective to kill you, then maybe turn back to the objective when they're done with you. They're the guys that you think you just about have under control when they suddenly drop a nuke/waagh.

I just looked that game up, it looks really cool. Thanks.

**Soladrin**

Frogger, my Orks get run over a lot :(

**Ed_Bodger**

My Space Wolves are like me when I get too drunk to remember how to play a computer game.

Sequel's coming out

It'll be the FPS I am aware of to have a German campaign... with co-op!

Anyway, on-topic:

My Scout Snipers are like Stormtroopers in Star Wars... they don't hit crap.

**Exarch_Nektel**

Infantry eldar. World of Warcraft, definately.

I had to laugh at this one. I can't tell you how many games I look at the objective, then at my opponent's stuff....then at the objective....then at my opponent's stuff....and I bypass the objective to go get some krumpin' in.

*EDIT* I've done this to the extent that my opponent had 3-4 models left on the table in a 5 objective game, while I'm mostly untouched, but we still ended in a draw because I was focused on killing them. =p

**Locclo**

My Space Wolves lose a lot, so...I'm going to go with them being like the dogs/wolves in every shooter video game ever. They're annoying, they may scare the crap out of you, but at the end of the day, they won't do much damage before they're all dead. :(

**Gorskar.da.Lost**

I would say that my orks fight suspiciously like the enemy in Star Wars: Battlefront. Tenacious, but you get them in the end.

**Soladrin**

Oh my Ogres are like the the attacking people in Castle Defender, completely useless, getting ripped apart by random magic, and failing to put a dent in most anything.

**Shas'O Dorian**

Taking a more imaginative view of the Tau, Space invaders:
We're gonna shoot you & hope you don't get close.

**Black Corsair**

My Guards are similar to first Command and conquer troopers... they never retreat (comissars still have no idea of what are they doing there) and no matter what its the target, they try to take out with lasguns!!! (and sometimes they achieve it, unless is a vehicle

)

**JSK-Fox**

My guys are like a ton of Battlecruisers in Starcraft. They just beat the crap outta anything in their way. Except for my attack bike. He's like a storm trooper in Star wars.

I end up ding this semi on purpose. First, it's in character for DE. (I say half my army bolting when things get really bad/Mephiston starts plowing into my gunline counts as in character too...) Secondly, I play DE. I get one troop choice. They are very squishy. If I run wych cult I get a different troop choice that is even squisher unless something is in CC with it. I cannot hold objectives against someone trying to get me off, at best I can do a late game grab if I actually have a raider squad on the board that didn't lose their transport. The only way I win an objective match is if the opponent is too badly mauled to get any themselves or contest the one or two I actually get. So any match I play with friends devolves into annihilation anyway to the point we rarely bother with objectives in the first place these days.

My gaunts (of both varieties) are pikmin. My tervigon(s) are captain olimar. Everybody else's army are those weird beetle-bug thingies that eat you up in the night-time. I guess my mycetic spore can be the spaceship.

Lol, that's a pretty accurate description.

I'd have to say my old 'nid list was like Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters.
My carnifexes killed infantry and vehicles fine, but whenever they got into CC with another MC they just smacked each other back and forth for the rest of the game and never killed each other.
