In your opinion all round ( paint scheme, fluff, ETC) what is your favorite space marine chapter ( not a made up one EX one of your own). My favorite one is the Dark angels.

**Joey**

Ultramarines, because all other chapters aspire to be them. They're clearly the best.

**Toastedandy**

Executioners:

They call their chaplins Death Speakers.

**Blacksails**

I have a soft spot for the Salamanders.

Nah, UM's are Okay, back in RT/2nd when they were 'Joe everyman' Marines.

For me:

Imperial Fist - THEY GET S*IT DONE.
Dark Angels - Just love the fluff, fun models
Emperors Children - Purple/Gold armour? Cocaine? Sign me up!

**Bluewulf**

Wolves then Crimson fists

**BeefCakeSoup**

I like the Blood Angels.

-Airborne Masters
-Sanguinary Guard paint a picture of what the final battle at the Emperor's palace looked like.
-Dante is so pro he tied the Silent King in a war for weeks.
-Big golden nipples.

**kronk**

Angry Marines.

Image has a bad word.

Nightfall, if you really liked that picture, you should check out the Badab War Poster from forgeworld.

I framed mine.

**scythewing**

I gatta go the wolves and the crimson fists.

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

Blood Angels and Imperial Fists; the ones to defend the Imperial palace and the one's whos primarchs weren't afraid to die for their father (Looking at you gullieman; thats it run and hide in your stasis field)

This one gets my vote

But I would also like to put forward this one:

Brazen Claws, just love the quartering on the armour, sadly my skills would be nowhere good enough to do the chapter symbol

**CuddlySquig**

Brazen Claws are my least favourite. Sorry.

I like the Black Templars.

**porkchop806**

Crimson Fists all the way. Gotta love the level headed son's of Dorn

P.S best codex cover ever!

**forruner_mercy**

I like Salamanders

**ATrueArgonaut**

Fluff wise...i read a fairly cool article the other day...

Astral knights get my vote

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Astral_Knights#.Tsrx4GOXunA

paint jobwise;
A) Hawk Lords
B) Guardians of the covenant
C)Celebrants

Just how the hell do you paint this the last ones!

**Coolyo294**

Ultramarines.

**Ronin**

Lately, Raven Guard and their Successor Chapter, the Raptors have been getting my attention for 'favourite Chapter'. The Mantis Warriors also.

Yeah, I'm on this guy's side. I think that codex cover is goofy as hell, but still totally rad. Besides, Crimson Fists were on the first edition rulebook:

Fists are my favorite chapter. They're different enough to have personality, but not Special Snowflakes who are better than everyone else. They also are kinder to regular humans than most Space Marines are, and get kicked in the teeth for it because that's just so grimdark. Also, cool colorscheme.

**Ultrafool**

I love the Flesh Tearers, the fluff, the paint scheme, and Seth.

**eviltrout**

I really like the salamanders but the names get annoying

**Marine_With_Heart**

Ultrmarines and then Space Wolves afterwards

But thats my opinion... Ultrmarines because I just really like everything about them and then Space Wolves because they are almost the complete opposite and are awesom as hell in terms of fluff and models...

**King Pariah**

Oooooh, this is a tough one.....

I do like Raven Guard and successors (especially Raptors)

Red Scorpions are another favvy

And then Blood Angels and Ironfists...

So hard to choose...

**Capitansolstice**

Raptors, Grey death's sons of medusa, Red Scorps, Astral Knights, and Astral Claws
Nurgle too

**SwiftLord14**

Space Wolves.

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

In a imperium full of murdering cold blooded killers why settle for anything less than the D-bag of all D-bag astartes Chapters..

Marines Malevolent

May even build a small force of these A-holes, if I can find a yellow I like.
These guys can even fluffly fight other Astartes

**Ogryn**

Hm, while I do not play any SM chapters, would have to go with BT.

He was joking, but the Ultramarines were never the "Joe Everyman" Marines. They were "the greatest of all Space Marine chapters" on the back cover of the 1995 codex too. This was just before a lot of the fluff had been written, and apparently before people could whine about it on the Internet, lol.
