I'll echo what some have said with the Possessed. They just look soooo amazing. With a good roll they can be pretty damn potent. I also love lesser daemons. For 130 points I always find a good use for them. I guess if I'm gonna play chaos I'm gonna have daemons.

Probably the Swooping Hawks. Nowhere near the best or most cost-effective Aspects out there, but the models are just so gosh darned gorgeous...

Looking for fun articles on painting, tactics and wargaming? Are you after a new regular blog to follow? Are you a bit bored with nothing better to do?

If the answer to any of the above is 'well, I guess' you could probably do worse than read my blog! Regular wargaming posts, painting and discussions

Flash Gitz. Most people don't even give them a second look, but the idea of a unit of Nobs armed to the teeth with über-shootas is just too cool to let it go.

Regular Dakkanaut





Oh Man, being an ork player, I have SO many guilty pleasure units. The nice thing of course is that most of them are actually good units to, and if they are only mediocure, I still have plenty of points left over for the game winners.
Old codex I always toyed around with a battlewagon that had maximum big shootas, big gunz, and loading it up with flashgitz. Massive dakka.
My current guilt is a 19 'Ard boyz (including PK Nob) + Pk-Warboss in a Battle Wagon.
Storm Boyz also seem to make their way into my finalized list, no matter what I do. It's weird, they just always show up no matter how much I try to write them out, there they are.

Slaanesh Chosen Marine Riding a Fiend




Uppsala, Sweden

My Genestealer Cultist army that counts as tyranids, but since I want to stay true to the fluff of the stealer cults I can't field anything that count as a tyranid warrior, a carnifex or indeed anything that moves faster than infantry. So I use masses of broodbrothers (=spinegaunts) and stealers to fight the enemy. I usually loose grinning happily.

A single Thunderfire Cannon. I rarely kill or even threaten anything with it, but I've scratchbuilt it myself and am so proud over it that I bring it along most every time I play my marines.

For my Chaos: My heavily converted dreadnought, who is super awesome and goes nuts all the time.



For my Eldar, a nice big unit of warp spiders.

I love the Exarch model and I have a pretty unique paint job on them, so I have a hard time justifying leaving them behind.

Thanks, Vindicator. I know a guy who plays Tzeentch-themed CSM. He does fine against more "casual" players, but I don't honestly think there's any way to use them "competitively."

Autocannon Sentinels.

I don't know why. They just scream Imperial Guard for me, and always have. I mean, I know Valkyries are oh oh so much better, but...

Nothing says "Mechanized Guard" to me like having Sentinel outriders guarding the flanks.

Storm Troopers Deep Striking. It almost never works but when it does it hilarious to watch your squad show up and completely destroy a squad in one round of shooting.

Formerly, I would take a Lord Commissar with a Power Fist. He was just a cool model and I couldn't leave him behind!

More recently, I take "Superfexes"... Really kitted-out carnifexes with something like 100 points of extra biomorphs. What isn't cool about three 200 point monstrous creatures massacring a bunch of space marines?
