Was just wondering what people’s favourite ever space marine model was? It doesn’t have to be the best looking or most detailed just the one that means the most to you and why.

Me personally I’m going back to the days of citadel combat cards, think the 40k one was called space war, there was a old marine carrying a shuriken catapult (times were hard) that I always liked. After that I would probably pick the metal commander from the last ever metal HQ box set, think he was carrying a storm bolter/ Power sword.

Hands down my favourite.

still got him, i'm stripping the paint off of him now, such a good model.

The sternguard sergeant w/ powerfist

I'll have to second the Sternguard Veteran Sergeant with Powerfist, while there or many other space marines models that are much cooler in many ways, this one model is in my opinon the at the pinnacle of "Space Marine" hill. Then there is the "Space Knights" that are awesome, like Sanguinary Guard, Sword Brethren/Crusader Squads and Dark Angels.
Then the "Space Heroes" like Marneus, Vulcan, Chaplains and so on. But if I had to choose one model to be the ambassador of Marine-kind, it would be the Sternguard Veteran Sergeant with Powerfist. Sometimes, generic is king!(Not a huge fan of Ultramarines though....but they have their moments.)

*Makes a mental image of the Sternguard Sergeant in a stunning Imperial Fists paint scheme*
Ahhh...life is good...

logan grimnar he has a briliant model who looks like death in an axe blow

Im repainting that model today, its his third incarnation. He has been a Dark Angel, a Silver Skull and now hes becoming my 3rd compnay captain for the Star Shades (Essentially purple and black)
The verteran srg from that box set with the hand held Auspex was also really cool.

if CSM are included, then the generic Metal DP uis my favourite "Space Marine" mode. Otherwise the Direct Order only Techmarine is my fav.

Rockin.

Not sure if this is custom, but

My favourite.

My favorite

Forge world, Dark Angels dreadnought.

I really love the Marneus Calgar and Honor Guard minis. Sure I may not play Ultramarines, but with some converting they make an amazing centerpiece to almost any SM army.

That's the Emperor's Champion, it's not converted at all.

I have to agree with Grey Templar and Tarkland. Super Red Fist man is awsome.

Super Red fist man.
With 4 Super Red Fists!

I am actually gonna change my vote....completly forgot about Pedro Kantor>.<
Pedro for Emperor in M:42!
*Edit*
The only thing that would make Pedro Kantor more awesome were if he belonged to the Imperial Fists.

And another - so we are now 300%. Purely iconic 40k model right here.

Until a better space marine model is made, the Terminator Chaplain is the best.

Term Chap is amazing. Just got my hands on one for the first time!

-- Also, going back into 2nd edition, though I have never owned either of them, I have always really liked the Ezekiel and Asmodai models as well

the term chap is one of the best in my opion, but Ezekiel has a mad as blade and the standard SM Chap with the PF and CA his helmet and torso awesome

That model has always been a favorite of mine.

I also like the chaplain with a full skull helmet, and the termie librarian, and the new death company minis....
All in all, space marines are pretty cool.

Thunderwolf Cavalry!

But in all seriousness Njal Stormcaller, he just looks so awesome, I hope when I get him I can pain him this well:


Though the regular Wolf Priest is awesome as well:


Though Termie Wolf Priest looks like a wizard shat magic on him:

Once I get my BA successor chapter's Assault Squads all painted up, Calgar's Honor Guard and the Tyrannic War Vets are going to be converted into that chapter's Sternguard. If they didn't have the Ultramarine omegas on them, they'd be my all time fav minis. As it is, definitely my fav SM minis.

It is hard to go past the Terminator Chaplain. Who sculpted that, BTW?

Hmm... thinking back over all the years and all the Marines (and aside from Mr. Termy Chaplain above). Well I've always loved this mini:
