Ten individually outfitted Nobs in a Trukk. Get 'em across the battlefield and into what they do best.

Lots of style points for that squad.
I like using Vets with 2 Meltas a Heavy Flamer and Demolitions. Being able to drop the Demo Charge on a squad or multi-charge with meltabombs is great.

Hopefully there's a campaign where I can just win on style points.

I would have to go with the Leman Russ Punisher. Something about 20 shots from a main cannon plus your heavy bolters, heavy stubber, and lascannon. I usually play against Nids or Battle Sisters. Almost every game it wipes out 4 or 5 "without number" gaunt squads in one shooting turn. totally awesome.

I use my kasrkin as a set of two:
a ten-man suicide squad in a chimera - with a flamer, a melta, and a power weapon, these guys race forward and either contest objectives 'til the rest of the guard show up, or i sent them on a hunt - usually the biggest, nastiest army in the opposing force. i have had the melta take out two 'liths in a single game, the flamer cremate 40 orks and the sarge charge into melee against a 'fex and survive for 3 turns
the smaller 6 man units acts as a firebase, with a plasma and 'nade launcher - i use these to hunt elite infantry - meganobz, termies, 'nid warriors, and the occasional MC

my favorite, rather than my beloved tanks or SOB, tends to be my sentinels. Well, "scout" sentinels, that is.
I rarely use more than one, and I only have two. I usually outflank and put a couple of autocannon shells into side/rear armor, and then make a beeline to stomp on the closest infantry squad available.
One time, I held up an entire Hormagaunt brood for a whole game. 40pt sentinel holding up a 320pt mob of gnashing bugs, beautiful. A week later I held a Chapter master for four turns, after splattering a LC pred.
I don't care what some people say, Sentinels are a fine unit in my eyes. All they need is some sort of secondary "chin" weapon or sumsuch.
