What is your Favourite Space Marine and which one would you want?

Av never played any of the Warhammer games I have just got interested into to figurines after looking forward to the game and I wanted to start up and want to know what are people opinions? What weapons should I buy? the best shoulder pads? please leave your comments below.

well space marine packs come with their own weapon options, as do most other kits you buy I.E. ork boyz tau fire warriors...ect as for favorite space marine, are you looking for actual space marine individuals or whole chapters.

I love Brother Tycho, for a variety of reasons. First, he's no-assembly-required. Second, he's got a lot of lovely detail. Third, he actually already came with a combi-melta, so I didn't have to convert him.

Fluffwise, Gabriel Seth.

In fact, model-wise too, Gabriel Seth.

Deciding that, with his chapter on the brink of extinction, instead of being remembered as bloodthirsty savages, he wanted them remembered as noble heroes. Now the Flesh Tearers dive into just about any fight they can find.

Kosorro Khan. Very good. Use bikes with him though

Can I say Luna Wolves. Pre-Coruption and Heresy.

Not sure why, just like them.

I like Kantor - I converted him to use in my homebrew chapter.

Am looking for an individual on the space marine from the Adeptus Astartes?

Fluff-wise? Gabriel Angelos (Being the DoW fanatic that I am)

Don't have one model-wise yet; I'm too new to the game!

I don't really have a fav character, but the Imperial Fists are my fav chapter.

I like my Ultramarines Lysander.

Big fan of Bjorn Fell-Handed myself. Just something about him being, like, the most-venerable of Venerable Dreadnaughts.

I'm a fan of Dark Angels. I don't know what it is about the fully robed marines which block 90% of the detail, but I like them. I've always liked DA because they seem the most sinister chapter and had the more interesting backdrop.

The Force Commander, Sergent, and the hard to get LE Force Commander really are nice minis.

Azrael.... not his model though. Never was too fond of it.

My most favorite Astrates model has got to be Captain Shrike. a major badass.

Full harness techmarine, just love the look of it.

Crimson Fists are my favorite loyalist chapter, as I can still paint my boys blue without Internet folks whining about me having Ultramarines! Also, their fluff is pretty fleshed out so there's some cool backstory going on.

For Chaos, Iron Warriors are my favorite. The conversion packs from GW make for some really cool and distinctive models, Their fluff is cool too, and Storm of Iron is a good read. Also, caution stripes are cruise control for cool.

A dead one.

Terminator Chaplain or Librarian and Gabriel Seth.

The Adeptus Astartes are all the space marines, their divided into chapters I.E. Blood angesls, Space woves, salamanders...ect

as for individual space marine....cyrus from the DoW 2 games.....

I am not a Space Marine player, but in my opinion the Canis Wolfborn from the Space Wolves is the absolutely best looking model EVER in the Space Marines range.
If I was to start a a new army I would probably start a Space Wolves chapter.

Gonna have to go with meph, i hate versing him so i imagine using him would be fun, though his model is terrible, take that meph

Model wise would have to be shrike!

My favorite space marine is the one that adorns my trophy rack...?

Blood for the....

Going to have to go with Bjorn, his fluff is just awesome.

...CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!!!!

Njal Stormcaller.

He has a bad habit of rolling up my armies like a carpet in the later rounds of the game..

My Salamander Assault Marine sergeant. Back in 3rd, he killed a whole unit of Kroot in assault single handed. As a basic marine. He got a promotion after that.

HERESY

HERSEY INDEED! BURN THE HERETIC THE MUTANT THE HERETIC!

A dying one that tells you where to find his mates..

Marneus Calgar. He has the best fluff, the best gear, and the best rules in the game. Period.

Marneus has lived for a very long time, and during those years, he has Punched an Avatar of Khaine so hard, that it died. That's an astounding feat, along with the fact that held of an Eldar invasion for a very long time. He is the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, the greatest chapter to have ever graced the galaxy. Worls tremble beneath their mighty boots. Read any Ultramarines book my the two best authors in Black Library history, C.S. Goto and Mat Ward. They are gods among men.

Calgar has some of the best equipment! He has a pair of AP2 bolters. Yes. AP 2 Assault Bolters. These babies are just the thing for when you assault with the best weapons in history, the Gauntlets of Ultramar. These twin powerfists are so badass, that he can even wield a sword with them! And he has a built in teleport homer, TDA for the same cost as a storm shield, and a fething 4++ invul save. But his 2+ armor save is more what you'll use, as Marneus will have already blown up all weapons that could pierce his armor by simply looking at them.

And his rules, oh my god his rules. They are the best out there. He has EW, a non-necessary rule, as he has T5 and four wounds. He also can control all leadership tests for his side of the field, an amazing trait not found in codexes anymore. He aslo can call down an orbital strike, take a ride in a Drop Pod, and even have three honor guard units! THREE! That's thirty of the second best choice in he entire C:SM! (First being Marneus, of course.)

Edited because my love for Marnues has caused me to be so focused on him that I made a few spelling mistakes.

Anyway, I hope this has enlightened you to the amazingness that is Ultramarines. Everyone loves them! They even have half of the Special Characters in the marine codex! If they weren't totally awesome, then why do they get themselves on the cover of the book?
