Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

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.

Ancient Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought

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.

I don't break the rules but I'll bend them as far as they'll go. |

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.

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.

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.

Inspiring SDF-1 Bridge Officer

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.
