Crimson Fists, just keep on fighting

Where is the grey knight bandwagon? Must be late.

Im guna have to say black templars as well.

My own chapter, the Forgotten Sons, if anybody wants to know something about them I'll propably open a forum for them so time in the near future.

Second would have to be Doom Warriors. Not a big fan of yellow, but their war cry is just badass...

Doom ye! Doom ye! Doom ye!

Knights of Blood are really cool imho. I also like Raven Guard.

I also have a thing for terminators so DA get my vote just for their 1st company.

Luna wolves or World eaters..if i have to pick imperial then Space wolves

That's what i was gonna name my chapter...
Thankfully i didn't...
That would be sort of awkward...

Dark Angels. Yes.

Dunno what it was, I started collecting Generic Marines, bought the DA codex for gits and shiggles, next thing I know I named my car after the Second Company and I'm thinking of converting all my Tac Marines to having robes. Not to mention the twenty Terminators I bought recently.

Yeah, if it's got Dark Angels iconography, I probably want it.

Dark Angels or Soul Drinkers

Black Templars and Ultramarines. You ask, why those boring Ultrasmurfs? Well, i tell you. The First Tyrannic War is one of my favourite storylines.
It is a hard fought war, with real losses which actually matter, against an enemy which always seemed to be on the brink of victory.
Even the final victory by the Imperium of Man has something pyrrhic. Sure, the alien horror is vanquished, but the first company is dead, many other companies are dangerously
understrenght. The Mechanicum allies as well as the PDF troops sustained crippling casualties and nearly all the reinforcements from Bakka ( 200 ships ) as well as many of the ships protecting
Ultramar ended as burning hulks.

Space wolves, followed by my new love The marines Exemplar! Blood Angels third and the dark angels just for the look of them. probably a very similar story to thousands out there!

Hi five, iron hands rule...shame the upgrade is so pricy

im gonna go with Dark Angels, i think the robes are awsome

as a referall to my old answer i didn't take into account chapter 666 so yeah grey knights all the way


thousand sons were still better (pre HH) imo

Phew... that was close, I thought I might have to change their name.

For bringing that up you have been rewarded with my interest, what did you name your chapter? Also I think you have an article about them right? Drop me a link to the that if you can, I`d like to see if there are any more similarites.

I love the Angry Marines....

But in seriousness, Salamanders FTW

My favorite, Blood Angels for their fluff, chapter colors, special characters and playing style

honorable mentions: Salamanders, Sould Drinkers, Lamenters for their color schemes. Dark Angels for their fluff

Salamanders.

Fluff wise they are awesome, cause not only did they defend Terra, but they didn't get their A@@es handed to them *cough* Blood Angels *cough*.

Plus, gotta love that green.

space wolves for me. I love the fluff, and the style. I'd play them even if they were the most underpowered codex out there. I'm just lucky they're not
as for the ultramarines, yes, they're what the other chapters are compared to. that makes them a benchmark, not the best. :p

I must add the Mentor legion. Perfect for adding some some armour to the Imperial Guard, a diffrent paint sceme to an existing Astartes army (with some new toys fresh form the Ad Mech) or just a add a plain Tactical squad to any of the forces of the Imperium of man.

Black templar.
No pity. No remorse. No fear

Easy there killer. Dont forget who is responsible for the demise of Horus and saving what humanity remains.

Dark Angels for their fluff!! They are simply awesome! Then Blood Angels, and in at 3rd is space wolves, because i love the kits.

That's tough for me.

Black Templars, cuz they are the first chapter that I had exposure to (they were heavily featured in the 3rd edition box set).

Imperial Fists because they are the Ultramarines' arch rivals, as far as I'm concerned. Plus, orange.

Salamanders, because they are [black], have working pen0rz, and are bro-tier bros. They also spam flamers and meltas, two of my favorite weapons, so there's that.

My first homebrew chapter, the Garudas (the mythical bird that bore the Godhead on his back), was descended from the Salamanders. They fire lots of heavy weapons (lighting), then follow up with a frontal assault (thunder).

Then, I fell in love with silver paint schemes, so I repainted my army as you see in my avatar.

The Iron Templars are a third founding chapter descended from the Imperial Fists, and regularly attend the Feast of Blades. Out of enmity for the begrudged sons of Guilliman, they do not follow standard Codex organization, each company, or Praetoriat, is a self-contained army with complete armory and staff (with the exception of Librarians, who are too few in number), including dreadnots, vehicles, techmarines, apothecaries, as well as an allocation of scouts. The first company is still made up entirely of veterans, who are loaned to the other 9 companies as needed. Each company appoints a "Paladin" (Emperor's Champion) by popular vote, with the Chaplain's approval, to rally his brothers in battle. The Chapter's style of battle is adapted from a text preserved from the most ancient days of Terra [a reference to Sun Tzu, of whom I am a big fan].

All my chapters Which include...
The Wanderers,
Storm Crusaders,
Order of the Bloody Hand,
Dusk Guard,
Storm Knights,

And then there are a few chapters I really Like, like the dark angels.

Yeah, but they happen to be the best.

i call BS on that smurfboy :p like a dogged attachment to a book of tactics your enemy can pick up easily makes you the best. pshaw.
"UM: In this instance the enemy is doing this! Therefore we must do _this_!
Enemy: oh come on... how predictable... next, when i do this, he'll do this, i'll paint him into a corner aaaaaannnnnd... well we've won.
UM: crap. how did this dishonor happen! again! i followed the codex to the letter. *cries*"
I'm sure you can see how this is a good idea...:rolleyes
LOL
