Hey, Ghazkull! You're a spawn now!

Hey, Carnifex! You're a spawn now!

Hey, Mephiston! You're a spawn now!

Hey Kharn! You're... well, you're still cool...

No matter what ultra scary crazy whatever your opponent throws down, you've got at least a 1 in 6 chance of turning it into a chaos spawn.

Kewl...

Nahh for a power like that you want Old Zogwort, he can turn you into a squig!

XV88 Broadside Suits ain't nothin' to mess with! They are one of the few units in 40k that can look at a Monolith and smile.

My favorite units ever were Obliterators.

Had a weapon for taking down damn near everything.

Plague Marines. There's nothing like evil, gross looking dudes who can feel no pain. Some chaos guys are very obvious and over the top, like the Berzerkers, which is scary, but I think the silent, stoic Plague Marines take the cake on the scariness level.

What about noise marines? Loud party guys who LIKE pain.

Any given Dreadnought.

Except Chaos Ones....



and my favourite is The Chaos Vindicator that is Daemonically possesed.

is it bad that i always take 3 of them. No matter who i'm against or what points i'm playing...?

All the Land Raiders.
I just love 'em.

I'd have to second Vendettas. It can kill damn near any vehicle with it's three twin-linked lascannons

Necron Warriors. I don't have to deal with pesky equipment, they just go out and kill.
But in all seriousness, I really like Lootas, if not justfor the fun you can have modeling them.

CSM Deamon Princes: Only BLOODY unit that has eternal Warrior in the ENTIRE book except for Abbadon. Plus they are able to be loaded out for a great many things.

Though I love all my IG and Ork units, my favorite has to be the super overpriced SM Honor Guard. A full unit of ten with chapter banner and all relic blades will absolutely destroy just about anything it touches. I know they are in no way cost effective I just love to throw them at a mob of 30 boyz and scream "Go nuts guys, FOR THE EMPEROR!"

As far as cool factor and awesome fluff, it's a tie between harlequins and Grey Knights. I like how harlequins are the guardians of all this forbidden knowledge that could tear down the universe, but they dress up like clowns and dance around the battlefield like they don't care. Grey Knights just possess a sheer level of bada$$ery that cannot be surpassed.

As far as power, I am a big fan of the baal predator and the furioso librarian. They make the BA army feel more unique than other SM chapters and can handle themselves in combat as well.

i miss my pulsa rokkits...a little grot in me died when they went away.

as for current 5th ed...Swarmlord,tyrant guard x3 w/bonesword, prime w/lash whip, bonesword, regen. frickkin' mean unit but too pricey to actually enjoy.

a squad of 10 reavers with grav-talons and cluster caltrops.

it's just too much fun to fly around the board slicing whomever I feel like and you can't chase them down because if you turn around they're in a different corner : D

Sly Marbo.

The codex states that he never speaks, just waits for the next target.

The Deceiver. Because the look on your opponents face when their cheesey DE archon can't get his invuln save is too good.

Also all their poison wounds him on a 6+.

If you can't tell already anything that hurts DE is my friend

Name a unit. Any unit. This will kill it. And it has a 23-28" charge range, depending on what Ghazghkull rolls for difficult terrain.

Exactly this reason, I like the idea of being able to remove any squad/unit/object my opponent has, at my leisure.

If you can't guess what I'm putting here, you don't know me.

6 Flashgitz, painboy, cybork, more dakka. One quick, clean, easily ignored scalpel. Unless you target them..... then they're cheap as chips for what you throw at them.

I... CHOOSE... PIKACHU!!

.. wait wut.

I am torn between 3 for my SM.TH/SS Termies / Sternguard ( especially with PK to add another scoring unit ) and i love to run a pimped out Vanguard squad.Its always massively overpriced,but with a TLPG/LC Razor and PP/PW/MB and a Relic Blade for the Sarge and the boys its fun whenever i put them on the table.And i definitely would not want to face Ghaz and his mates from across the table,that is one tough ork.

But I think he talks to Lorenzo in Death World


Valkyries with either a multi-laser or lascannon and multiple rocket pods with a blast large enough to kill a metric ton since they're defensive weapons.

12 inches and fire everything or move more and drop in some infantry.

The doom of Malan'Tai

Even the name is freaking epic and it's such a lucky unit. One time lucky and let the doom start!!!

Marbo. He has great fluff, and come on, who doesn't want rambo in their army? Also, a very usefull unit. Can pop up anywhere and chuck a demo charge. That plus goood stats, a bunch of special rules, and he;s cheap!

Where do you get that from???

None of his rules have anything to do with poison, unless there was a more recent codex than the one I'm looking at. No question that C'tan are obnoxious, but massed splinter fire should eat them alive.

Nope, not one of his rules make him immune or better against Poision than the average Necron warrior.

So yes. A Venom Blade WILL Damage him

Stormraven (i like that kid though so )

but at the moment probebly trgon it just looks badass

Soon it will probebly be the new Furioso kit

My vote goes to the Eldar Seer Council. Nothing beats an all powerfull psychic squad of jedi's wrecking face on the battlefield. Coolness factor overwhelming
