I'm torn between Harlequins and elder Rangers. I love the idea of outcast snipers that move like the wind and cause chaos and anarchy in the enemy ranks. I also love the Harlequin models and the idea of a squad of battle clowns smashing into the Emperor's holiest warriors and making THEM look like the fools.

I have this one Assault Sgt. who in 19 games has only died once, he has stood his ground against 14 genestealers and not ran, picked a fight with a unit of Meganobs and tarpitted them all game. The man has done wonders may the Emperor keep watching over him

Flamers of Tzeentch. Land them right next to the opponents favourite unit and watch it evaporate. Almost never survive to my next turn but always get their points back.
(This is particurlarly evil if using 2-3 units with the Masque tagging along.. )

nob biker... multi wound elites with wound diversification and a 4+ cover save, 3ish claws, 2-3 big choppas and a painboy will give almost anythign in the game pause as to how to handle them

This man is wise beyond his posts. And as a fellow avatar-ist...I must call thee friend. One hand is extended as friendship, the other holds a holy object with a pin

Flamers and the Masque are a dastardly combination

I have a veteran marine with a chainsword and bolt pistol. In the early days he was a regular marine captain, killing a carnifex and a remaining brood of genestealers in his first game. He then got demoted to tactical sergeant, before being promoted to Sword Brother for my BT. He's done a few cool things, like killing 3 GK termies as a sergeant, or surviving 4 krak missiles in the open as a Sword Brother. Most notably, he's never failed his leadership check though all the time I've had him.

I just LOVE Terminators. Of all types. Regular, Assault, Chaos, Grey Knight, whatever, as long as it's wearing TDA, I love it.

One of my favorites, Steel Legion Heavy Weapons Team. Three Missile Launchers, very fragile unit and dies almost every game, but not without causing frustration to my opponents. They held a Termie Lord in combat for three turns, with the Lord needing help from two different squads of marines to take them out. They earned a permanent spot in my army for that.

My favorite, the Deceiver from the old Necron Codex. I loved the model, that stats, the abilities and the look of horror on my friends face as it tore through their squads as though they were nothing. The look of horror was even better when they learned it could run from assault on their turn and head to a more appropriate target that needed dealing with.

I have grown to love Missle only Devs.
I use them to guard objectives, they may not be able to capture, but dang they are a massive determent.
Especailly when i put the objective in a tower. They got a clear shot of ALL of the enemies.

My Stormhammer has killed 4 Warbosses, a Warhound Titan, 2 Chaos Lords, 3 Deamon Princes and 5 Swarmlords.

"Hammer of Retribution"

Lootas. Even if they are BS2, the mere fact that a fully-loaded list can potentially throw out 135 S7, AP4, 48" range shots a turn makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Way back when - Madboyz

Back When - Nightbringer (old codex version)

Now - Zogwort

I know I posted these over somewhere else here on dakka recently, BUT THEY ARE AWESOME!! Wade Pryce may have.... "odd" hair, but he has the coolest army!



Oh and his hair:

Favorite character = Fateweaver

Favorite tank = Baneblade and possibly hellhammer varient.
I've never actually seen a stormhammer or seen it's rule but it sounds like its something that I would be interested in.

Storm raven despite it's box like consistency is my fav flyer though the valk comes in very very close

Long Fangs and Lone Wolves were the biggest reason I picked up Space Wolves. Definitely think they are some of the coolest non-named units out there.

Dreadnoughts of any sort are one of the biggest reasons for picking up Power Armour boyz to begin with.

Sanguinary Guard - something about a 1500 point BA army made of nothing but them and dante charging headlong into a greentide just somes up what 40k is to me - lets say it did not end to well for them though

This. Which is precisely the reason I'd put three Landraiders on the table. I know it's not comp. Doesn't win games. Doesn't buy its points back. Then why? It's fething EPIC.

The Leman Russ, the workhorse of the imperium. On the table the Russophobia combined with good armor and great firepower is wonderful, their fluff is great, a steel beast that never stops, runs on anything that burns. Wonderful tank.

Also, storm troopers, Krieg, Cadian and original kind, they're sweet models with awesome fluff

Lol.

Armored sentinel powerlifter.

Yes! Full of WIN!

My only gripe with the Stormhammer is that the offset of the second turret bothers my OCD. IF ONLY THEY FETHING LINED THEM UP ALONG THAT CENTER AGHTHBTHTPTH!!! I'd love to see a big ol' battleship of a tank line up those guns and just let off this massive broadside.

As a Tau player who still gunlines, Firewarriors and Suits are my favorite.

Also, as much as I hate Farsight's fluff and the fanwankery that's followed, he's made an above average counter assault unit and his body guard absolutely killinate anything they look at.

my full squad of scourges with 4 heatlances. they die mainly to the vehicles they make explode and they don't give 2 cents if im winning or losing, they always run away to survive because they fail leadership all the freaking time.

It's amazing when a unit isnt suicidal for the name of some cause I told them.

As an IG player I gotta say Marbo. There's something so damn satisfying about making him appear out of thin air behind something that urgently needs killing and throwing a demo charge at it.
At 65 points for what is essentially a reliable suicide bomber he's my favourite by far, he almost always kills multiples of his points cost and has been a total gamechanger a few times.

Did I mention his fluff is pretty cool too?

Leman. Russ. Battle. tank. It's a repurposed tractor with a giant gun and armor bolted to it. And its arguably one of the best tanks in the game.

My other favorite are my commissars. they always hold the line, and look cool as all get out on the table. Now if they could just hit smething I'd be set

Trust me, this thing is amazing at wiping out Horde armies in a short amount of turns. It's held the line against Tyranid and Ork tides more than I can count.

Oh trust me, I have no doubt. I just wish the TL-BCs were lined up symetrically. xD

On another note, Land Raider Terminus Ultra? Anyone?

I once played a Grey Knights player with my Stormhammer, he asked why I was using it.

Because it's awesome that's why

You, good sir, have just earned yourself an exalt. Bravo.

I think you all may be able to figure it out...
