Terminators. I run a 10 man squad with a cyclone missile launcher and assault cannon because it's fun to abuse the armor save.

**madman12367**

i like drop pods!!! im making a DP army, well a mech army with 3 in and the rest of the thigs either tanks or in them.

**MegaDave**

Land Speeder Storm. For a while I was running three, I like them that much! (It would obviously have to contain scouts though, otherwise a regular speeder would do the job.)

**Dark Apostle 666**

It's between the Ironclad dread, Venerable dread and my scouts with converted Sgt. Telion, who looks a bit like Dave Mustaine from Megadeth.

You're my hero.

**PraetorDave**

Dreadnoughts. So versatile, so killy, amazing fluff. Come on, walking sarcophagi that rip everything to shreds? How can you not like that?

**scubasteve04**

In no peticular order:

Landspeeder Typhoon

TH/SS Terminator

Lysander

**SumYungGui**

My favorite Space Marine unit is a dead Space Marine unit. Though there are those who claim that I may be biased.

@mica What did the mods do

This was originally in dakka discussions. I hit the alert mod button, stating that it should be in 40k general discussion, and BAM! a few moments later, it was moved!

**Alphapod**

I am sentimental toward my AoBR dread, which was lovingly but skill-lessly modified by me when I first started out to be venerable and have an assault cannon and missile launcher. It looked so bad I declared that it would be known as the "Ghettonaut". I have cleaned it up at lot since then and it is actually almost presentable, but the name has stuck. As for my favorite model, I am partial toward Lightning Claw Terminators and Land Raiders (Crusader or Regular, either way).

**madman12367**

i would rearly go with LC termies unless i have a 10 man unit of them and even then i would only take 4 or so

**madman12367**

bump

**asimo77**

Nothing says "I am going to kill you." like a very angry Terminator Chaplain

My one regret about playing BT is the lack of the above^

Also, I don’t care how useful they are… heavy bolters looks so cool IMO.

**Monster Rain**

For looks? (Okay, and I think it's pretty good too) The Thunderfire Cannon. The Techmarine alone is worth the price of the box.

Strategically? Sternguard. In a Drop Pod with a messload of combi-meltas. Oh god, how I crave them.

All around awesomeness? Vulkan. Buffs your army something fierce and isn't a slouch in CC all by himself.

**Tazz Azrael**

Im going to have to say my favouite unit is the Ironclad Dreadnaught

**Mukkin'About**

Dreads. They have some amazing looking kits between GW and FW

**madman12367**

bump

**CT GAMER**

Terminator Librarian.

**Punisher Gatling Cannon**

thunderfire cannons,master of the ravenwing,dreadnoughts and drop pods

**madman12367**

bump

**EmilCrane**

Constant bumping isn't necessary, and kind of annoying

Anyway, Sternguard, Devs for Codex marines

The Emperor's Champion, Sanguinary Guard, Sword brethren from the others

**Element206**

Its a toss up between the Land speeder (and all of its variations) and a Terminator assault squad. Even with the assault squad on foot, both have paid dividends beyond their reach!

My least favorite so far has been the Devastator squad...perhaps I just have them ill-equipped though.

**DEATH89**

My favourite unit, Cassius + 10 Sternguard (new box and TWV's mixed), favourite single model...

The power armoured Chaplain with Crozius and Power Fist, just looks so hard, and before fists and chaplains got nerfed, he punched out the deciever for me, gotta love the guy!

EDIT: and that reminds me to use him in my next friendly

**shadeyaces**

Legion of the damned

**Ascalam**

A dead one

My necrons and orks both agree on that..

If I was to choose from any SM codex I'd have to say probably Grey Knight Terminators. They are awesome looking, powerful and hard to beat down. I used to own a number of them but never painted them, as I was pretty sure I couldn't do the sculpts justice

From the SM codex i'd go for Techpriests. I love the steampunk thing they have going..

**Matt070**

I like Dreadnaughts, Terminators and the one guy in the tactical squad with the missle launcher that on the odd occasion does something really cool and actually kills something for me

**martin74**

vanguard, ten strong. sgt with claws, four power weapons, two thunderhammers, three normal. expensive, but, when they come in to assault, it is fun.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Ven Dread with Plasma Cannons. This lone dread devastated a whole necron army and nearly punched out a Monolith (it Immoblized it). Ven Dreads have been part of my force whenever possible.

**juraigamer**

Instead of saying bump, just cite another unit you like.

I must say I really like the techmarines. For a few points you have a guy walking (or riding) around with two extra power fist attacks, a TL plasma pistol and a flamer that looks like a boss while doing so.

On that note, where is my named techmarine in the codex? And no, that one upgrade guy doesn't count. The codex needs some iron hands love.
