My marine army. Tacticals and stern/van veterans are not worth the points, but they're the models I have.

**casvalremdeikun**

Pretty much everything in my Marine army is overcosted. About the only things that are decently priced are my Razorbacks (even after the price jump), Devastators, Hellblasters (sort of), and Aggressors (again, sort of). My Sternguard and Intercessors are both overpriced, but I play them for their fluff.

**NurglesR0T**

Blightlords and Plague Marines. Love the models, even though 8th edition hates them.

**MacPhail**

Penitent Engine. On addition to being overcosted, it mixes Sororitas and Ministorum in the detachment, so expensive and disruptive, but so so fun!

**ZergSmasher**

I have been trying to get Ravenwing Black Knights to work, but usually they get out there, shoot something, and then catch a ton of mind bullets (or actual bullets) and die. They rarely, if ever, make their points back. Speed of the Raven does work okay on them and gives them a pretty long threat range, but still too expensive.

Edit: also Plasma Inceptors. They wreck stuff, but it is a lot of points to sink into a one trick pony unit. Although it is worth noting that a unit of 6 Dark Angels ones, with Weapons from the Dark Age and a Master nearby for rerolls of 1's to hit, can kill a Baneblade in one round of shooting on average dice.

**Slayer-Fan123**

Easily Huron for Loyalist scum rather than the Chaos one. Him with a Damocles for two Orbital Bombardments and the Big Guns is kinda fun to get off, not gonna lie.

**tjnorwoo**

Earthshaker Carriage. worst decision ever to increase their points cost. still I love their look and I have 3

**KingCorpus**

Lukas the trickster, terminators, blood claws, long fangs, murderfang, Logan, Logan with sleigh,Relic contemptor

**GamerGuy**

I spam Tactical marines for the aesthetic.... also pretty sure my new land raider achilles will be joining that list

I occasionally use a techpriest engine seer. While useful, $25 was way to much for him.

YEAH, he shoulda been $15 or 18

**Crimson Devil**

I stopped caring what their price was. I find that knowing how to use my army in the field is a more satisfying experience than writing a spreadsheet to victory. This was a reaction to a Physicist I used to play a lot. He would never make a move that wasn't a calculated risk in his favor. Mathhammer incarnate. I lost a lot, it was frustrating and joyless. So I started thinking outside the box and played by the seat of my pants. I had more fun and watching his face when I managed to pull off something the math said improbable was great fun.

Make the army you want to play and screw the math.

I run full tactical in Rhinos plus sternguard in LR with characters. Also some Termies in deepstrike

**Not Online!!!**

R&H Militia Squads

4pts per modell, for a guardsmen with no orders, worse faction buffs, a profile of a conscript and half the armour. Oh and d6+2 morale.

I love my mixed Kultist, GSC, Cadian FW Renegades, Chaos marauder kitbashes to boot, but in terms of cannonfodder they really are not good anymore, hurts especially when in 7th you could actually use them.

**nateprati**

inquisitor karamazov, dude can berly hobble over the board let alone do anything. But he looks sweet marching with my priest led ig hoard

**akaean**

My Chaos have a soft spot for my Melee Hellbrute. Hes got a Scourge, a Fist and a Heavy Flamer. He is way over priced- especially after the double fist got a point reduction, and he rarely sees combat. He really requires the rest of the army to carry his weight. He is a pretty model, just not a great one!

In my experience most people are aware SM have some really powerful builds. It's really become a community of confirmation bias around here that SM cannot compete, while in the real world they are making top tables all the time.

Right, because when the two builds are Ultramarines with Guilliman and Raven Guard and...that's it, the codex is sound.

So how is that "the entire army is overpriced"? Try to blink back those tears of indignation for long enough to read what's actually being said

My 0/8 metal scout army
I'm taking it as pennance for using codex guard too much
