Regular games: My daemon princes. And they go down to ANYTHING, even just a random squad of marines. They always roll super well and drop them in a turn.


Apocalypse: Zarakynel, my FW Greater Daemon of Slaanesh. She's not that well protected but VERY deadly, so they throw everything they have at her.

My Broadside Suits scare the crap out of everyone at my FLGS for some reason, because they always draw most of the fire. My Hammerheads appreciate it greatly. In my Deathwing army? Everything is target priority one, because there are so few models on the table. My Eldar? IDK yet, but I'm betting on my Falcon.

My little guardsmen, who give their live so that the power weapons get a chance to swing.

I play foot guard. So I have more then a hundred of guys running towards them.

All the enemy does is spray and pray

When I play my Tyranids, everyone tries to blast my beloved Genestealers/Broodlord away! They just do it because they know I love them so much. And...in melee, my Genestealers are brutal. They tend to annihilate everything they touch without taking much damage themselves. The Trygon and Hive Tyrant are also huge bullet magnets. Of course, half the people I play with are convinced Hive Tyrants are over powered.

With my Dark Eldar? Hm... I think it's probably the three Raiders I field because people forget which ones are carrying Warriors and which one is zooming my Archon/Incubi. They also forget that Raiders are NOT Ravagers.

Eldrad Ulthran always gets a special salvo from me.

The same goes for Ghazkul Thraka... I just feel pressed to try to kill him before he gets his +2 inv save...

My bullet magnets usually are:

Tyranids: Hive tyrant with Tyrant Guards (usually at the end the HT still lives)

Spess Mahrinss: 10 Terminators with TH and SS or some Land raiders.

My Defiler, he never seems to do very much but when he does do something he is normally pretty cool, so that's why I keep him in

My Railheads seem to attract a lot of bullets.

My scouts always seem to attract crazy amounts of fire...probably because i always scout them uber close to the 2 20 strong squads of boyz and they are the only thing in range turn 1

My Trygon...

My Genestealers...

My Hive Guard...

And my Hormagaunts, when my enemy wants to kill lots of guys fast.

Always my Vendettas. At first people would target my Russ's i run as my drop tanks seeing them as the biggest threat, now if i can get through one players turn without one being shot down its a christmas miracle

Dark eldar: anything my archon's in and with.Mostly his raider and incubi.I guess they think you got to shoot his pimp mobile.

Marine:My liby with termy armor.He usually has gate of infinity,a random power,and a force weapon.He is the present and my sternguard or termys are the bow on the box.

Forgeworld models, anything that's bigger, prettier or scarier than average will get it shot.

I knew a guy who painted his tac squad brilliantly but his Sternguard normally and i have to admit you found yourself trying to shoot the tacs more than the Sterguard.

Back when I started playing (2nd edition) I painted my termi chaplain bright silver with a gold helmet. He always seemed to draw the most fire.

Deathstrike missile launcher in my I.G (i dont use it anymore), and my 10 man terminator squad in my chaos army. Not that shooting at them ever helps... Tau Vs terminators with mark of khorne? hmm... my money's not on the blue guys.

I was shooting martas termies all yesterday. Why wont you die!

BA: Death Company Dread w blood talons(20 potential wounds in 1 round of cc is hard to ignore)

Tau: Pathfinders (sad face)

My Dwarf objective marker gets abuse too.

It's always the Death Company. They freak people out.

Eldar - Wave Serpent with Wrathgaurds inside.

My small selection of vehicles. They always get shot at, all the time, even when there is nothing in them. I've gotten into the habit of simply going for obscurement just to get a 4+ even if it means my shooting is going to lack because of this.

Also my pathfinders, those sorry saps never get to do much other than die it seems, which is why I've been not taking markerlights at all with my tau recently and going quite well.

The only workhorses of my army, Hammerheads and Broadsides... for the first two turns.

Because my opponents know my firewarriors can't get close to killing anything, my Kroot mob will break in one assault, the Crisis suits will miss all their shots , the commander will get killed by the dread in the corner, the drones will autofail ld after being shot at, the devilfish will wizz around the field killing gak-squat, the pathfinders can't find their way out of cover without dying, and the sniper drones will just stand still not knowing what a target is
