Well I could always use MORE STR 10 TEMPLATES!

Because Krieg clearly doesn't have enough of those already

Enough Templates? What does that mean?

Surely you meant ALMOST enough templates?

114 templates, +6 from the Catachan, awwwww yeah.

Purifiers

For when i ran Vanilla Marines in 5th ed, always Pedro with a full squad of Honor Guard with a banner and relic blades and a Chappy all in a crusader... Yeah come at me bro!

For my Blood Angels it was always my 10 man Death Company with 2 fists, 3 power weapons, and 2 infernus pistols with a Reclusiarch/Crusader fun bus or Lemartes/Stormraven fun bus

For my Dark Eldar i always ran my Cronos with full upgrades, oh yes did he spread the pain!

And now in my Necrons i always have 2 full squads of Immortals, 1 with gauss and 1 with tesla!

MANDATORY TROOP: HARKER, x3 plasma vets, lascannon, demolitions (because everything must die)

Don't forget the Hades drill. Why take a Chimera when you can drive a giant drill straight into the enemy?

After Marbo, the Hades drill is the best unit of all time. Even when I'm feeling merciful and not using all three of mine I still take at least one.

Sanguinary Guards have not fail me this edition yet!

The lowly imperial guardsman.

Sure, 99 times out of 100 they will be chopped in half by a marine, some tyranid, or a demon price, but that one time they will find the courage to sand fast, hold the line, and beat the demon prince to death with the butt of their lasgun.

The Leman Russ gets an honorable mention. I've yet to have an opponent penetrate its front AV 14 armor. Ever.

The Master of Ordinance gets a mention too. When the scatter dice agree, my opponent picks up that fancy-pants HQ the first turn.

Shortly after i started in 40k I bought a vindicator because nobody else at my flgs used them. That was just after 3rd edition came out and I haven't made a marine list since that purchase that didn't include at least one.

The Vindicator has a soft spot for me but my favourite has to be the Furioso dreadnaught I made use of at a doubles tournament, 5 games, 4 dead eldrads later and the damn thing was still going!

All with just a pair of powerfists (Not blood Talons).

Marbo. When I place him on the field, I don't say a thing and just I shuttle up my iPod with some speakers to the Rambo 2 soundtrack where he deals the hurt to the Russians in the jungle....especially the scene with "the eye"...you all know what I'm referring to

The Leman Russ tank for my imperial guard I have to say, but since recently I have been playing with my Space marines I have to say my Assult terminators lead by an appropriate HQ

My best unit is definitely Belial and his maxed out terminator command squad, including apothecary, banner and a lot of storm shields and thunder hammers all thrown into a land raider crusader
. A chaplain is a nice touch too.

3 war walkers with scatter lasers. with a farseer for some real lulz.

First for me -

The ORIGINAL Imperial Guard Rough Riders.

I had a company of these guys - Charge! - into anything.

Second - Imperial Guard Assualt Squads. Still have twenty of these. Alas, rule and fluff changes.

Genestealer.

Nobz...

While I may concede that Marbo is a bad ass, the real winner is Long Fangs.

Everything else presented here would get... Wait, IS destroyed by Long Fangs. Hi, I'm cheaper than every other heavy support unit with more special rules than any other marine AND I get an ability that anyone would kill for, split firing. Adding a Rune Priest for synergy and parking them on a Skyshield for 3+ cover, 4++ invulnerable save means good luck killing them.

I want allies just to bring Marbo and a Basilisk. Both amazing units from IG and I love em, but the dudes who, fluff wise, sit in the back telling war stories, making bets, and are the most efficient heavy support in the game? Winner.

Just to get into a pissing contest, both Genestealers and the Emperor's Champion would walk through a pack of Long Fangs, and Marbo would leave them a bit worried as well.

"Gather round pups as I tell you the amazing feat of valor that my group of long fangs accomplished in the great ork war of priscina V!"

"what happened sir?"

"Well, I hefted my trusty rocket launcher and fired at a horrific xenos war engine, ripping it asunder with our great weapons!"

"then what? did you engage them in bloody combat?"

"oh hell no, I sit around and shoot rockets all day! I dont think I've engaged in hand to hand combat in 50 years!"

Saint Celestine. Point-for-point, I don't think you can beat her. And, if you can, she'll get back up and make you do it again.

Nice. They finally learned that the best way to kill stuff and LIVE is to shoot them haha. It never made sense to me to run headlogn into gunfire when you can sit and shoot back.

Also, keep in mind that it is YOUR PERSONAL favorite/best unit, not THE best unit. And for the points you listed for those longfangs there are a lot of things that can take them out. Everything has a counter. But yes, I agree that long fangs are damn good.

Seer Council:

Watch as sheer frustration slowly creeps across your opponent´s face...

Iranna.

I have much love for my barge overlord. He can consistently wipe 10 man marine squads each turn.

He's so hated in my group that lists pop up just to kill him.

Last night he made a dreadknight kill itself in 1 turn.

Any of my Forgeworld battlesuits, especially my converted Farsight model. Win or lose, I always have a fun game.

I have to second the Tervigon for Nids. I don't think I've made a list without one (usually two) in the past year and a half.

I'd go with the warscythe/MSS Overlord for Necrons. He can just about win any challange presented, and is the easiest way I've found for dealing with beatstick HQs like Ghaz, Mephiston, and the Swarmlord.

I always bring Sentinels. And one ALWAYS has a Lascannon. . .


And Marbo is driving it. . . >_>

Leman Russ Tank.
Standard has 14 front and carrys a big cannon to boot. not to mention the hull gun or possible addition of sponsons.

Then it can be swapped out for anything ou would ever need.

Got Termis or power armor problems? Executioner!
swarms? Exterminator with all heavy bolters!
Just wanna blow up and give them no chance of surviving? DEMOLISHER

and so on.


Then on top of that.
Baneblade.
Thick armor, tons o guns, and can be changed around to have alot of different varients like the Russ.
