Vanguard can assault on the turn they arrive by DS.

I'll vote for the bolter-stake crossbow combi weapon in the WH dex. It is like 20 points and almost useless

Its actually only 10 points, but its still terrible.

My vote goes to the Power stake from the WH armory, 2 handed S3 power weapon that wounds psykers on a 2+ for 20 points.

I actually built an Inquisitor with power stake for Apoc games. Combined with a landraider, Mancatchers, crusaders and medics she rips up psykers really well. So many daemonprinces, sorcerors and even a few TMCs have fallen to her, across 3 games she almost makes her points back Though she did manage to box a Tyranid.. damn, the gargantuan bug with the REALLY long legs that is some 1500 points... for 5 turns. She would have killed it to if he hadn't been making regen saves left and right.

While not the worst upgrade: I hate MoK on Demon Princes in Codex:CSM.

10 points for +1 attack, sounds good. Oh now he can't take any psychic powers? And there aren't any other upgrades available to MoK DPs? Well I should have just taken MoS and Warptime, it better represents a fast, hard striking DP of the blood God than an extra attack. The only situation where MoK has a benefit is when the DP charges a vehicle that didn't move last turn. And if a DP is in charge range of a vehicle it's going to be moving.

They're more expensive Assault Marines, BUT COOLER!!!

Another great choice is giving 1 of your WH priests a plasma rifle for 15 points, the idea of giving a BS3 model designed to charge a rapid fire weapon that can never fire at full range and if used prevents him charging (which is the unit's primary function) is just a great idea. Furthermore if I recall doesn't doing this prevent the priest from taking an evicerator as both of them are 2 handed weapons? I forget on that last part >.<

I'm sure they only put the plasma gun option in th WH dex because they had sold a cool model of a priest with a plasma gun and they didn't want to make a model obselete.

Spirit stones on war walkers and vypers (vehicles in squadrons treat stunned results as shaken anyway).

Surprise assault (deepstrike) on warp spiders for 10 points was rendered useless by the 5th edition rule that gives all jump infantry deepstrike for free.

IG line squads with sniper rifle
Flash Gitz (especially without the MOAR dakka upgrade)
Tau vehicles without Disruption pods
