grots

always take them just in case they kill something ard so i can laugh at my opponent... its ok when it happens they'll tend to laugh too everyone wins with grots

For my Dark Angels is a Squad of 5 Deathwing terminators.
For my Tau, 3 Piranhas. Sorry, i just LOVE them.

I have a terrible weakness for Land Speeder Storms, Scout Snipers, and a Jump Pack Captain.

I'll let you guess my Chapter.

Dark Eldar Wyches

I've used the same Sorcerer on foot in pretty much every army list I've made since 5th edition. Despite having 5 different Sorcerer models I always include the same one - he looks like the one from the original Dawn of War games but with a sword.

As Space Wolves i MUST atleast have: Arjac, Wulfen and if above 2000, my Fellblade/Falchion.

Kroot. I will be building my T'au around Kroot infantry, and my Aeldari take Kroot mercenaries.

Chaos Cultists for my Nurgle.

Always take a Vindicare assassin.

Pask in a punsher!

Tatical terminators. THANK YOU 8TH EDITION!

Relic Sicaran Battle Tank

I usually have Cato Sicarius even if I'm not using tactical squads.

Wolf Guard Jumpers all armed with twin Wolf Claws, I'll look for any excuse to take them.
"Gotta be somebody needs some killin'..."
They're not the most effective unit in the world, usually die to overwatch but when they do catch somebody they usually end them there and then.

Krieg infantry and some Death Riders.

At least 2 squads of Kabalite Warriors in DL Raiders and an Archon. Judging from recent games I might add an Airwing Detachment of 2 Razorwing Jetfighters and a Voidraven Bomber to that.

Roboute Guilliman, Sammael and St. Celestine. I really like their look.

Dark Angels: Ezekiel He's been my favorite DA Character since 6th edition and has never let me down

Tyranids: Hormagaunts Even when they sucked I always packed about 40 into a list.

Sister's of Battle: Celestine The all time champion of trolling the enemy.

Grey Knights: Dreadknight Carried the army on his back for about two editions

Imperial Guard: Veterans: Probably my all time favorite unit, I've got a few squads kitted out with extra backpacks, ammo pouches, grenades, holographic sights on their guns, and more dynamic poses than their rank and file compatriots.

I really do not have any must include units for my Necron or Dark Angels. However my CSM is a different story. I love my Land Raider and Hellbrutes and ussually try to fit them in a list. But my special favorites who will always make the list are my Chosen. Give me some Dark Vengeance monopose chosen and some bits to make them unigue and I am a happy man. Luckily LR, Chosen and Hellbrutes aren't garbage this edition.

Warboss and 30 Boyz.

Now makes a patrol detachment and is in general fluffy.

Noise Marines.

No matter the edition, no matter their effectiveness.

Always noise marines.

I love the idea that they kill their opponents with dubstep guns (like in Saints Row 4).

Sadly, the Warpsmith, because I play Iron Warriors. Bog standard, he is 109 points - probably not worth the expenditure, but I take him anyway.

My inquisitor. Everything else is Astra Militarum, but the idea of an inquisitor shaking up trouble is too tempting to resist.

I got lucky last edition because mine are Warp Spiders - they were my favorite unit in Dawn of War because of the voice lines.

For Space Marines: Tactical Squads!

For CSM: Basic CSMs!

Tau - Hammerhead gunship "Oni"; I just love the vehicle overall, but it just happens to have a 1.0 batting average, in that every vehicle I've shot with it, was a hit and "explodes" result.

Necrons - Licheguard. Even though they don't have the reflecting ability anymore, I just love the look with khopesh and shield.

Tyranids - Carnifex "George"* and Tervigon "Big Momma". They may not do much for me on the field, but I love how the models turned out and I field them every time.

Space Marines -Terminators, cuz who doesn't like snacks in a tin can?

* Inspired by the line from Bugs Bunny cartoon, with the yeti saying "I'm going to hug him and squeeze him and call him George"

Sternguard. It used to be that their Boltguns and Combi-Weapons were all sorts of awesome. Now just their Boltguns are. Not terrible, since I have a unit composed entirely of Boltgun Sternguard. It is one of my guaranteed units. Pedro Kantor used to make them more awesome, so he is must as well, even though he doesn't boost Sternguard anymore (that I know of.).

For Black Templar, I will ALWAYS field an Emp's Champion. Back when it was required, and now starting them back up again, he is an auto include.

Even though I started as a Slaanesh player, I've gone more gung-ho with Khorne lately. I'll always rock a BT now when playing daemons.

Dreadnoughts, even when there were "crap". I always try to squeeze in at least a pair as there guys were the perfect speed bump for most assault units aiming for my gun line.

Thousand Sons Rubicae. They were the reason I started painting again, they were the reason I started a site sure.

IG Sentinels! I think they have awesome models. Haven't played an 8th edtion AM game without them yet.
