This is a sort of debate just vote on the poll.If your a true supporter of your selected codex write in an answer.

I believe Space Marines with Vulcan are currently ridiculous. Imperial Guard are apparently just as good as they were before, too. Dark Eldar still seem top tier but Blood Angels play fairly similarly to Wych Cults so i'm not sure if they've been bumped off.

I hate to say it, but Guard.

I've seen them do hideous, hideous things.

Guard. They win.

Why cant I choose Necrons though?

You're missing a few codexes (Go GW) So I feel this poll has a strong personal bias.

Its 5th edition armies only.I left any non updated codexies.

Doesn't the ork codex count as 5th?

No, it was released in 4th with only a couple of "5th only" rules, such as Ghazzys skull.

In fact the Waagh! move is slightly...broken in 5th, strictly speaking.

Blood Angles easy.

I've seen what Storm Ravens can do if used correctly and lets all agree that in low point tournaments like 1500pts and less Mephiston is just an insta-win.

I think space wolves are the best 5th ed army than guard then blood angles.Here is why space wolves are the best and why they are performing better than other codexs in tournaments lately.We can take 4 HQ choices and Our troops are cheaper than regular space marines by 1 point.we have a CCW,Bolt pistol and bolter on are grey hunters while tactical marines just have bolters and bolt pistols.Wolf scouts can come on on any board edge usually which is cool because you can put a wolf guard with a combi-melta in there a take out those pesky IG tanks.thunderwolves and fenerisan wolves are Uber Cool.And Long Fangs with missile launchers are Boss!.I personally believe that Space Marine Equivalent armies in 5th ed like blood angles and Space wolves have the edge over Mech Guard Because they can spam too,have a better Armour save and a raised BS

So Blood Angles Get:
FNP with priests
Faster Vehicles
A Predator That can be taken as a fast attack choice
Mephiston
and Cheaper Transports

While Wolves Get:
Long Fangs
Counterattack universal
cheaper troops
Thunderwolves
4 HQs
Fenerisan Wolves
Wolf Scouts
and Wolf Guard which are off the hook

And IG Get:
Large amount of tanks mostly chimeras
Squadrons of tanks like hydras and Russes
Valks
and Veterans

But thats just my oppion
