Seeing that two of my codexes are at the bottom too, maybe some codexes just seem more attractive to different personalities.

That is prolly true. Not every one wants to play the same things thank goodness. Can you imagine how boring the game would be then.

Just keep this in mind: it's a numbered list. Something has to be number twelve. Something has to be number eight. Etc. I'll post the next one later.

Looking forward to the next rank.

Agreed, its seems to be Melissia posts her opinion, everyone discusses and then make predictions just in time for the next one.

Personally I'm curious to see how the IG stand up under her eye.

I rank SoB Codex worst. They are clichéd.

EDIT: ah, quick work by the mods there. Thank you Manchu.

That's generally how these ranking threads go. They're currently all the rage here in 40k General Discussions. Credit to Just Dave. Or whoever did it before him.

I still think they're an interesting read regardless of who started them.

Agreed. They seem to produce some good discussion.

:( I go hungry.

One thing I like about them is that they give you perspective into why people think the way they do.

When Melissia says in other threads that she thinks Necrons are lame, I'll know exactly why! I think it adds depth to the discussion.

Dammit, am I going to have to make one now?

@Monster Rain: You don't have time! So . . . do it anyway. Maybe a "Rank the Second Founding and Later Chapters" thread? Just make sure you put up a list of those you'll be ranking, otherwise we'll be there for a while.

Melissa does make a good point, however. In these lists something HAS to be #X. They don't always do their subjects justice . . . hence the discussion!

The mod's are putting the hammer down on trolls!?

Quickly get Cheese Elemental and Gwar to my Canadian arctic base!

Well if the fluff is the majority of the result in judging I suppose I have the agree quite a bit. The CSM fluff is majorly lacking and a little stale. Failbaddon isn't exactly the guy you want to line up and follow. I think each god really needs a worthy leader of sorts, I suppose that's what they have now ish. But a new warmaster would be nice. Maybe keep Abaddon so people that run him don't lose their whole set up but it would be nice for a more competent evil chaos baddie and some new fluff rather than continuing the whole post heresy thing.

Aaron Dembski-Bowden seems to riff off of that stale Failbaddon joke in Soulhunter. But I don't think Cadia is currently winning, either.

I did. Like all addictions, I need more though.

Next ranking plzzz !! Everyone is going off topic.

Any suggestions?

Very interesting thread, gonna follow this one (mainly so I don't have to go looking for the darned thing).

I await the next ranking with some interest - there's only so much I can say about the previous ones before I end up repeating myself.

I think the top 4 will be IG, Orks, DH, DOC.

I wish they would bring out some of the deamon primarchs. Some of them pose much better baddies with a more personal reason to hate the Emperor. Make them reasonable. Like exceptional space marines rather than demigods. I much perferred them that way.

+1.

Oh, how I cursed when I heard that GW had finally printed rules for a Daemon Primarch in IA: Apocalypse, only to find out that it was the lamest of Primarchs, Angron the Very Angry(and angry).

I'm sick right now! Papa Nurgle paid a visit and ate some of my pasta. He said it was good pasta, so he gave me a parting gift. And I don't mean the fart he left at the door, that took hours to ventilate out of the house, that was just his way of saying hello and goodbye. He was a nice guy, but I had to get him to wear a shirt because his pustules kept popping and it was a real mess to clean up. And I made sure he left his swarm of flies back outside the house, we don't have any room for insects in this house. Nurgle understands, and so he let them feed on our lawn instead. Which sucks, but hey, better htan having them iin the house. Poor dogs will probably be sick for a week, too, but I don't like dogs anyway.

Oh, and I'm halfway done with the next one. Kinda hitting writer's block, so I might just finish this paragraph and type a summary and post it.

Tell Papa I said hi.

And BA are next. I hope.

I wanted to read the rest but it looks like they're spread out through 11 pages of posts so looks like I'm done. I did enjoy the ones on the first page though

lol, I'll get to work finding them and editing them on the first post... just woke up after trying to sleep off whatever it is I've caught.

Urgh seasonal illness. Always get a head cold which messes up my balace so i keep falling over. Hurts a lot.

There, quoted them and edited them in the first post.

Thank you so much.
