Just a quick question, which do you prefer (to play with); Witchhunters or Deamonhunters?

also, why?


Thanks in advance =)

Inquisitor Karamazov is the answer! Witch hunters are awesome looking. Of course grey knights are pretty bad ass too.

I just like the idea of Witch hunters more is all.

I really like the WH models and fluff.

Wow, he does look awesome, just like all the other HQ choices =D

And what about 'celeste the living saint'. Since it def. looks like she can kick some ass P=

St. Celestine sucks. Cannonesses are where its at if you want to clobber some fools in CC.

I play both.

I prefer to play the Knights, just because they're supposed to be the best of the best in the fluff.

WH codex is definatly stronger though.

I also play/use both. Witchhunters were my first true army though so I try to use them when I can (or when I could since I haven't played in a while). That and the nice models is why I voted Witchhunters.

Grey knights because the terminators are considered some of the best models ever produced.

WH hunters were my first real army.
And the reason i picked them was because of the irony of me playing them

My surname is Witchell

Also play Dh though just prefer WH.

Space bros before space hoes.

Daemonhunter is best!

I'm radical,so I use DAEMONHOSTS!!!

Witchhunters. SoB in fact. I love the minis since their first codex, and female minis in general. I didn't play 40k at that time. The fluff I read on WD was fun, and they hadn't that "favoured son" halo. Even in that time I was a bit tired of Space Marines. But for different reasons. You could read battle reports of 1500p games, with 25 marines and a dreadnought in one side. They were "too perfect".

That fact, and the minis. Exactly the same reasons to my love for Eldar. My first 40k/WFB blister was a blister of Eldar Pathfinders. I don't know if they were called Pathfinders in that time, in Spanish was equivalent to "Explorers" and "Scouts". But I started playing 40k in 3rd with DE. If the 3rd Ed box wouldn't have had DE on it, I probably would have started with SoB.

So, I guess most people like both.

My main opponents will be: IG, SM, Eldar and CSM

So I guess witchhunters would be the best choice? ;3

And whats up with the psychic powers, are they any good?

I actually suggest neither (apparently the post that had content was removed, while the one that had nothing stayed there?).

Instead... Sisters of Battle!

Witchhunters = SoB ... Right?

In the sense that Sisters are in the WH codex, yes.

Sisters aren't actually a part of the Witch Hunters, however, and frankly, the actual Witch Hunters units-- Inquisitors, assassins, stormtroopers-- are pathetic in comparison to a pure Sisters army.

But for a pure sister army, you still need the WH codex right? ;3

Sorry if im being a pain ;3

Daemonhunters, specifically Grey Knight pure. The models are too amazing for me not to own and love.

I prefered Allied SoB.

Barring that, the Pure Sisters is a better force than pure Grey Knights, IMHO. I like to compare Sisters to Vets for a second to show why they are so great.

For 10 pts you get a Guardsman with a lasgun, a 4+ save, and BS 4.

For 1 more point(!) you get a Sister with a bolter, a 3+ save and BS 4.

I love including my "Bros of Battle" in my Traitor Guard. And once the WH codex is released, and the Allies rules removed, I will just run my Bros as their own army.

Yep pure Grey Knights for me too, Awesome models, Awesome fluff, nowhere near the amount of hate normal marines get, and versatile on the tabletop too, just don't ask me to take on an armoured company

Witchhunters, but only so that I can do a Rozen Maiden themed army.

Yes. C:WH is basically Codex: Sisters of Battle, oh, and there's some crappy Inquisition units in here, too.

IIRC, there are no vehicles that can support grey knights right?

And what would be a good HQ choice for DH?

@OP Do not listen to melissa.
Inq units are just as good but like all units needs a general who is capable of using them.
Obviously not you melissa

No, I'm fairly certain that Inquisition units suck.

Seeing as I've torn any attempts at using them apart over nearly a decade with all three of my armies... even back when Imperial Guard wasn't the hottest codex.

Pure troll post not needed.

Meh your meta/skill/abilities/play-style is obviously different to mine.

Just remember everybody: Opinions are like buttholes, Everbody has one.

And yours stinks more than mine

*waits for you to overreact to this post, too, because there are no jokes on the internet....*

Cheers! I do try.
Vikings don't much wash

OP: Right now, you should play WH. But if you're willing to wait a few months, the new DH should be coming out, with new plastic models. That would be a much better choice than either current WH or DH.

This, really.
I prefer WH but really i must agree

And whatever you buy now will most likely be invalidated when the next codex comes out

Yeah, it really would. I HATE painting metal...
