You missed one..."battle missions" I think...I dont remember, but each army got like 3 different scenarios. We have a copy at my LGS. Some of them are pretty cool.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Cities of Death without a doubt.

It came out right when I actually started to learn how to play the game, and since most of my games were at the local GW they were typically small games points wise. It's a very good expansion for smaller skirmish sized games. Plus the buildings that came out are hands down the best terrain you can buy, since its basically 40k Lego.

Apocalypse. I love being able to put the full 12,000 points of my army out on the board. I've worked hard on this army, and it kind of sucks that I can only show off small bits of it at a time. But when someone gets an Apoc game going, and 12,000pts of Necrons roll out on the board, I feel proud of both my army, and myself. The sheer epicness of the battles is awesome as well, seeing some of the Apoc models is really cool, and I love being able to play 40k literally all day.

Umm...... Isn't Necromunda a separate game based in the 40K universe?. I didn't know spin off games with completely different rules counted as an expansion...

Dont know if the Eye of Terror counts as an expansion, but that is by far my favourite book. Otherwise Apoc. I have yet to play Cityfight.

I would of picked Nercomunda, but thats really a diffrent not a Expansion. So I choose City of Death Lootaz and Ammo Dumps , plus I can use my Necro buildings (bonus).

Battle Missions was terrible. Planetstrike likewise was a big letdown. Cities of Death functions sorta awkwardly. I haven't really read Spearhead (never got the WD for it). Apocalypse is great however as long as you pre-plan the battle and don't try to play it like a pickup game.

Apoc. I love the idea of the datasheets, stuff like the Court of the Young King and the Bloodthirster Bloodbath are just simply epic.

Even though it's not an expansion, I vote Necromunda. Its got lasers, mutants, and mercs. What's not to love?
