I was just wondering whether anyone invisions themselves as the leader of their armies. I have a comverted Vulkan He'stan model, and I would be lying if I said I haven't daydreamed about being in that armour...

Does anyone see themselves in their armies? Maybe not necessarily the HQ choice, maybe not even a human?

Maybe shooting one of the guns or driving the tanks...
Can't really see myself fighting anyone...

I want to be Mephiston! Honestly though, I don't even play psykers... I suppose it'd be cool to be a Sternguard though.

I'm in the capital ship, in orbit, calling the shots while throwing back glasses of alcohol and laughing as the ants die.

I admit to having a daydream of being an Inquisitor. I admit nothing more.

I've always imagined myself as the wraithlord of my Eldar, or the hive tyrant of my Tyranids, striding across the battlefield above everyone.

I normally see myself as the HQ of a large force of my tau being a Gue Vesa honored with a battlesuit, though only being an 'el, the 'o is still in command.

Termi armor and a Thunder Hammer - one of my favorite daydreams

Yay IG Commanders!

Ahriman or Straken. Twin Lightning Claws would also be cool.

I'm pretty much along the same thoughts, calling the shots from my Battlebarge drinking glasses of Pepsi ... none of that coka-cola crap dammit!!

Really? personally im more 'outside' match as either an Eldar Farseer guiding the army from afar, or the Hive mind/fleet.

Clearly you would be a CSm since only a heretic would drink Pepsi...

Eldar Autarch.
Or Crisis Commander with a Farsight Suit.
Or a Terminator Captain.
This is THE reason why people have preconceived notions about 40k, btw .

Pepsi for the Pepsi god!!! Empty Cans for the Can throne!!! ... wait a sec .... darn, the cats out the bag now.

Never been good at such empathetic imagings with my toys. Even as a child.
Maybe that is a failing.

I do shout come back and fight you cowards if one of my unit legs it!

Yup. That's why I don't like using named special characters. My HQ represents me on the battlefield!

I prefer Zapp Brannigan's view:

"Stop exploding, you cowards!"

I do picture myself as my terminator captain. A bit like airlaros, I like how he writes his battle reports from the POV of his commissar, and with all the black humour its just awesome

Of course, I'm the Daemon Prince of my forces. I worked myself up to control my pawns and now I'm immortal to boot. Hell, I get to come back after death. Huzzah, Chaos Gods.

Not really, I'd be the worst Warboss/Big Mek ever, plus, to me they've developed more than enough personality on their own without me projecting onto them.

No. But then again, i'm a sane person

What myself and my flatemate do to make things more interesting is put a counter underneath one of our troops each battle to represent ourselves on the battlefield. If you manage to kill that troop then the other guy gets bragging rights for the week!

We're working on some sort of trophy to share each week too!

Heh, I really like that idea, might have to steal it

This. Screw getting down in the mud, I'm on an Apocalypse.

I would love to be an Ork Warboss in a suit of mega-armor, riding into battle in my personal wagon with my meganobs, on the way to smash flat anyone who stands in my way.

Defiantly i make my captain my name and he has never died in a competitive match

I've daydreamed about being the gynecologist for the Adeptus Sororitas.... don't judge.

Too late.
