World Eaters are like Blood Angels but with 1/10th the personality and background.

But they have Kharne, and he's such a nice guy that he evens it out.

A suprisingly calm even-keel guy before his legion went to hell.

Well, doesn't that make them 100% better?

ugh, this list is ridiculus anyway. There is only 2 choices for the top 2 legions of all time. The Luna Wolves and The Ultramarines. The are the two most important and influencial Legions by a mile. The only question is which one of those two is number 1.

...Well, if you are correct then it would appear to be the Luna Wolves, but I bet they get knocked out of the running for being absolutely ineffective upon becoming the Black Legion.

And I am suprised that the Ultras even got this far, what with the general interwebs hate for them. Oh well.
Here's hoping the Imperial Fists are in the top 5!

I tend to agree. Luna Wolves shattered the galaxy but Ultramarines put it back together. Imperial Fists fortress making abilities gave them the chance though.

Iron warriors be in top five, warp damnit....


Good list, I be enjoying it so far.

Oh noez, oh noez, the Blood Angels' Primarch has long hair! OMGWTFBBQ!

Really, though, the only thing that the World Eaters have that the Angels do not is Kharn. And he's pretty cool, but other than that the Eaters are just psycho-Marines.

Give them an entire codex and they can have more.

Vamps...

Lol, I wrote that line when I first joined Dakka. Glad to see it's still getting around.

13. Think I'm too white and nerdy, can't you see me white and nerdy?....

Biker armies are cool. Space Marine biker armies are even cooler. So it is with the White scars, who earn even more manpoints because they're primarch was Genghis Khan in space. Let me say that again: Ghengis. Frikkin'. Khan. In. Space. You see those guys coming towards you and you just know that your either not going to leave the battlefeild alive, or your going to do so with your gentalia rearranged considerably.
Plus, they have mustaches. As in, not these half hearted little face headrows but proper jawsome Ming mustaches. If we lived in an ideal world all White scars would get an invunerable save just because of the sheer manliness of those mustaches, but alas, we do not. And that, coincidentally enough, is the problem I have with the White scars. First off, I hate painting White. It absolutely petrifies me. The thought of painting even an apothecary makes me go weak at the knee's, let alone an entire army. Also, I have never used a biker army before, and I think if I did I would lose even more games than I do nowadays, because I am a life fail and don't have the skill required to use one properly. So I'm sorry, White scars: It's not you thats the problem here, it's me. I wish I was up to your calibre of skill required, but I'm not. But I can safely say that you will always have my respect as enemies.
Oh, and am I the only one who gets reminded of the song The rabbit by Mike Snow whenever I see an army of the chapter?

It's a travesty that the White Scars aren't developed more. I think they may literally be the most underdeveloped Legion. If Kanye played warhammer he'd say "GW doesn't care about asian people".

Agreed, World Eaters are as lame if not lamer than Emperor's Children. ARGH we're Angry! ARGH!!!

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over HOW ANGRY I AM!

Actually, Berserkers are the calmest of the space marines, off the battlefield. You could probably complement them on their knitting skills and their recipes for Tea.

As to White Scars, I personally don't like them, though that is probably because of the fluff (or lack thereof) on them. All I really know about them is that they are pretty much all on bikes.

No offense, but your arguments against the raven guard and white scars seems to be "I don't like them, not sure why" or "I'm not good enough to run the type of list they're meant for". I'm surprised you didn't make fun of their weird head-knot-ponytails, or how lame K'sorro Khan's model is.

Was my face when I realized that most of the non traiter legions were low on the list

lol sillymanders next

Maybe Salamanders are #1 for Vulkan's rules.

yeah fair enough vulkan hestans choc full of win

Agreed so far.

Chaos Legions > *

You're 100% right. They are the reasons I chose them . I wish I could think of better reasons for putting them so low down, but since I'm a life fail I can't. No offence taken .
And don't dis the ponytails! The ponytails are cool!

You know me well.

12. All of our thunder hammers are master crafted. This is fair and legal.

I hold a lot of respect for the 'Manders. They want to burninate things. I want to burninate things. There is a common understanding between us. He'stan helps knock their score up by just how hard his rules rocks. They are over all a generally cool chapter, with plenty of interesting fuff and reasonable coverage by GW. Plus, fire is cool, and having lots of weapons that produce such a chemichal is awsome. Despite buggering off after Istvaan and then not turning up till the heresy finished (I have my theories about vast quantities of beer and a Guitar hero marathon), Vulkan seems an okay sort of chap. Overall; so far, so good.
However, there is one fatal problem the Salamanders have that prevent them from ranking higher: They are too nice. As I mentioned earlier one of the things I love about 40k is the background, and how grim it is compared to, say, Star Wars. It is not a pleasant place. Bad things happen to good people and nice guys most definatly finish last. Astartes don't make speeches about protecting civilians, hey punch their fething faces in. You wouldn't see most other chapters of note doing it. So why you, Salamanders? Why tarnish you're good name with such pathetic attempts at being human? There's not a shortage of lowly civvies in the Imperium, to be fair. Just get over yourself lads, and then we'll talk, m'kay?

Aaww, I like Salamanders. Although I guess you're right. Too damn nice. I think their last book was pretty cool though.

I sadly haven't read the Salamander books yet (Working my way through the Horus Heresy). When I do, my opinion of them might change.

ok, so i guess the top ten is all chaos?

Not all...

all except Dark Angels?

Sounds about right. Personally, I think the coolest Space Marine CHAPTER would be the Grey Knights. No prettyboys, no cheesy special characters... just lots of demon stabbing.

Personally I'd rate Salamanders and Raven Guard above a few of the Chaos legions though... but that's me.

mega
i reckon death guard next
there fluffs cool there cool all is cool

WHY OH WHY FATBOY MINIATURES

sorry but fat things dont rock
