You and your hated rival wanted to play a game of basketball. Let's say you had a Space Marine from each of the founding legions to select from. You got to pick only 5 teammates, and you picked first.

For the argument, what would be the first five Space Marines you'd pick and why?

Below is a list of the 18 known legions. You can also pick the post-Heresy version of a legion as well if you wanted.

Dark Angels
Emperor's Children
Iron Warriors
White Scars
Space Wolves
Imperial Fists
Night Lords
Blood Angels
Iron Hands
World Eaters
Ultramarines
Death Guard
Thousand Sons
Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus
World Bearers
Salamanders
Raven Guard
Alpha Legion

No Primarchs!!!

Dark Angel: Make the perfect plan to win, then have some guardsmen implement it (the plan is that good). Why waste time playing basketball when you could hunt the fallen!
Alpha legion: Sneak into the enemies locker room, stab em a little bit. Slightly difficult to play when your DEAD
White Scar: Grab all the balls and run, come back with ten seconds left, score a single point and win the game.
Space Wolf: Go BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!! And kill everyone, except your own team.
Ultramarine: Bench warmer

White Scar: Speedy massive thing...
Iron Warriors: We shall siege the opponents net!
Imperial Fists: Defense...Defense...Defense... Rinse repeat.
Salamanders: Burn 'em out
Legion of the Damned: Disappearing with the ball in the last 2 seconds of the game is so annoying, I mean they have to go out and buy a new ball. Excellent.

+1 Str for like 5 points? To autocannons or assault cannons? Hell yea. Then the Reinforced Aegis upgrade for free AND the ability to ignore stunned shaken.. pretty much for free..
Other Dreadnaughts should just go somewhere and be a toaster.

Mattieu~~~~ It's not that eldar are bad, it's that they require a lot of intergration between units. Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

Space wolves- they'll do well if a fight breaks out
Imperial fists- solid defence
White scars- down the wing
Luna wolves/sons of Horus/black legion- if I die they'll change the kit and the team name in commemoration
Blood angels- some of them have wings so they can easily get a slam dunk

love this idea, need to think of some rules, you need to have each one from a different legion, you must have some loyalist and some chaos (even if they're pre-heresy) etc it'd be well good!!

And yes I know in power armour I suppose anyone can pretty easily get a slam dunk!

I'm seeing some bloodbowl type rules in the future for this... LOL
Space wolves - excellent offense. also, we can cheat by hiding a spare ball in our massive beards. not that we _would_ mind you... its just an option. plus, after game drinks.
Blood angels - you've heard of air jordan? he ain't got nuthin' on a flying psychic dreadnought. i just pictured a dreadnought flying through the air from center court slam dunking... and landing on a member of the opposition... 'Even in death you got served'
word bearers - cheer leaders
Emperors children - have them put themselves into positions to get fouled. they'd love it.
World eaters - BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! BALLS FOR THE .. that came out wrong... LOL
