Rainbow Warriors rock! One of the first twelve chapters named by GW (before imperial fists and raven guard and all those other noob chapters )

So what if the the haters make fun of them for sounding gay? After 100 years on a spacecship with just your well-muscled, hormone-filled comrades for company, who you train with, fight with and die with, you might just end up sleeping with them too!

I am proud of my rainbow warriors army.

OT I think the lamest chapter name is the Salamanders, have you seen a salamander?

(ok actually I just googled Salamander turns out some of them are HUGE - I just thought they were tiny )

Ultra smurfs
SPHEES MARINS aka blood ravens

I dont see a problem with the rainbow warriors , for sake blood angels have nipple armour , space wolves are a band of traitors and morons .

How are space wolves a band of traitors and morons exactly? please enlighten me. if they're traitorous then I would say all marines are? except for the rainbow warriors....bad name....bad colour scheme....but if they wear that they must be hard as!

Uhm, I know this isn't technically a chapter but: World Eaters.

We kill, kill, kill, kill. We get it, you like killing stuff, now shut up and go do this killing you profess to love doing.

And they're led by an angry primarch: Angron.

And who in the hell is crazy enough to actually volunteer for a lobotomy? I'd believe combat drugs, but a lobotomy? Really?

Space wolves , lets go attack da thousand sons , lets drink till were pissded , lets act like a bunch of lets do things that traitors do , plus them being dogs really puts me of but i will one day get the space wolfs pack.

Lol, you hate them but will one day buy some? they can't suck that much then can they! or are you just such a nerd you can't help but try and buy every one of GW model kits before you die? I know i'm a sufferer of that, but i've been strong and have never bought eldar....

Actully the kit is ripe for conversions and would make good chosen marines , plus i did say they are traitors

The lobotomy is to give them a sense of no self preservation and untap the inner rage they all have. And really yeah the kill kill kill kill kill!!! sense they give off dries up.

I can just imagine the recruiting.

WANTED: Strong, tough men, will become 10ft tall super-soldiers.

NOTE: Will have to lose a part of your brain.

Did I happen to mention you are one of my newest Favourite people on Dakka?

And lets be honest, would you KNOW if you had volunteered or not after the fact?

Touche, and no I did not know that!

Though (becomes really nerdy). the part of your brain that controls fear, the amgydala, is also the part that controls anger and it's physically at the brain stem. A lot of stuff would get messed up in removing it. It would also mean that when someone is yelling in your face, you would do this: why are you talking so loud?

I thought the amygdala acted as a floodgate, so to speak, for emotions like anger and fear, rather than controlling them? Wouldn't removing it cause the Berserker to feel both emotions more vividly? Wouldn't that drive him a little bit insane?

Eh?

(Then again, I have exactly no background in biology or medical science, so I could be wrong!)

Either way, lobotomies don't work!

Fair enough!

they are surely a Slaneeshi marine?

Imho, the theme makes or breaks the chapter. Angry marines, Puppy marines, Vampire marines, marines seeking redemption, Roman marines, are all +1. I may not like the chapter in particular, but at least they have an identity.

the very worst of these themes belong to the Lamenters. Sad/unlucky marines who have the most horrible color scheme ever. They were supposed to be like blade (made from vampires, with all of their strenghts but none of their weeknesses) . . . didn't turn out that way i guess.

100th post . . . lame

I think Lamenters are hilarious. I can just hear their whiny chapter master, Dante Hicks, saying "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"

I'm probably opening myself up to loads of abuse now, but what about the non-Codex Angry Marines? I mean yellow armour sheesh.

*Quickly ducks for cover*

Lamentors, I get that they descend from the Blood Angels and allegedly aren't afflicted with the flaw, but what does it in is their badge. Bleeding winged heart in a circle with racing checkerboard pattern, what?

I actually love world eaters, just because they're the 1 marine army that doesn't give a
1 world eater vs 12 genestealers? lets do it. they dont even think twice. I love that insane bravado. Im surprised at how often they pull off wild victories on the tabletop too. They're kind of underrated imo. anyway.... but yeah angron sucks.
AF

Even more than dark angels they are THE emo marines.
If I had this army I'd paint eye liner and multi-colored arm bracelets on every 1 of them.
Because life is so sad.
When you're a ...
Lamenter.

feth!i didn't remember the lamenters ... yeah... +1 for lame!


Angry marines, yeah... i think yellow fits no one, or at least, no one who's cool BUT they're the exception to the rule..... 'cause they're angry.... all the time!!!

Please check your facts before you insult my first army

Space Wolves bother me intensely whereas in-game terms Blood Angels are lame... even if Sanguinus is my favourite Primarch.

The worst HAS got to be Rainbow Warriors, not only do they sound like space queers, but their based off of Aztec warriors? I don't know about you but I don't want to model my army off of people that got roflstomped by SPAIN. Thats allmost worse than being beaten by France...allmost

Smallpox had nothing to do with that...

And Spain was undisputed master of ze world for night on a century!

The Black Dragons. Quite possibly the worst fluff ever.

what about the guys who spontaneously combust? The Flame Falcons or something. pretty high suck potential there.

chowderhead13 wrote:The Black Dragons. Quite possibly the worst fluff ever.

What? I just looked them up and they seem awesome!

Pretty much any chapter that isn't the Rainbow Warriors or the Space Sharks. All chapters aspire to be as ass-kicking awesome as these guys.

Ultramarines. Dark Angels. Black Widows. Black Legion.

the Black Legion? Really? They're like the heart and soul of chaos.... the praetorians of the war-master himself.... a tragedy of misplaced loyalty... brought nearly to extinction and now rising phoenix like from the ashes of the Sons of Horus legion to become the scourge of the imperium, at the forefront of every unholy crusade waged against the hated imperium.

The Black Legion is Awesome.

AbaddonFidelis wrote:The Black Legion is Awesome.

All twelve of them.

I'll give this to the Black Legion; at least they're doing something against the Imperium. Only other legion that did something was World Eaters, and only once.
