Praetorians!

**marv335**

Necromundan 8th, The Spiders.

They've been my IG rgt since 1st ed.

**Talarn Blackshard**

Im pretty torn between Valhallans/Death Korp of Kreig for a #1.

After that it would be Tanith, and then Cadian

**English Assassin**

Death Korps of Krieg, closely followed by the Valhallans and Vostroyans.

Why Syrians and not Arabs?

**Necroshea**

Vastroyans and Cadians for me. Loves me some russians and starship troopers.

Never understood the love for DKoK/SL. Gas masks, funny helmets, and long coats. It just doesn't stick out as awesome to me.

Now, if they would make a model that looked like the guy in the background...

I've always thought the gas mask with exposed hair look was pretty cool looking for some reason. Perhaps if they made stormtroopers look like that I'd be happy. I hate the storm trooper model (love the kasrkin).

Also they emulate the grimdark stereotypic ideal of what the Imperial Guard is like (unforgiving human wave attacks, brutal commissars in the rear gunning down those who retreat, enormous volleys of lasgun fire, etc.).

Soviets though are Vahallans

Vostroyas are much more in tuned to Cossaks/Tsarist Russia which includes Napopleonics wars (which are quite similar to 40k when you think about it)

Yeah I know, messed up with the names thanks.

**Dark Apostle 666**

Cadia just for the Kasrkin, Dkok are cool, and Elysians are gods in guardsman form.

Guess that makes two of us

**TheAngrySquig**

I don't get why more people haven't voted Catachans, who doesn't love space rambos head butting xenos and heretics out of existence?

Mordian is what first came to mind, but now that I think of it Praetorian are a good fit

WWII Germans I believe.

**TheAngrySquig**

OK, so I've narrowed it down to
Catachan
Steel Legion
Mordians
for my favorites

**Necroshea**

Bleh, mordians.

"We look lame but we're really disciplined!"

In a game where I base my purchases on the looks of things, I stopped reading after the third word.

**TheAngrySquig**

I actually kinda like the Mordians look. They're like dressed up marines that royally feth with people who think that they're untrained

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

" Fighting soldiers from the sky " ..."Fearless men who jump and die."

Elysians all the way

and the Harkoni warhawks are pretty cool too.

Guess I am biased since I am Airborne as well.

( and yes I know those are lines from the green beret ballad, sang it plenty of times

)

**TheAngrySquig**

Elysians are a bit too GI Joe for me

**Sunoccard**

Elysians and DKoK, Really these two are very dynamic groups and they have a wonderful model range.

**The Mad Tanker**

Where is DKoK?

**purplefood**

On Krieg...
Where does a general keep his armies?

**TheAngrySquig**

I know, I'm sorry I forgot Kreig, I blanked, choose other and write in to display your Krieg based love
