Filipstad, Sweden.

Impossible to say. Just so many awesome characters from all over the place. Just too many to choose from!

I like Bjorn The Fellhanded

The fact that he is the oldest Space Marine still in the emperor's service is one reason to admire him.

Another is after 10'000 Years he still Kicks Arse like a young Blood Claw, though I think the time he has spent Entombed in a dreadnought is having an effect like old age on him.

Leading the Space Wolves in the defence of the Fang and standing toe to toe against Magnus the Demon Prince is another reason

A truly great hero of the Imperium and the Space Wolves Legion

"You strive for victory. That is obvious. What may be less obvious is the nature of victory. There are circumstances in which you can destroy the enemy utterly, without loss to your own forces, and yet the victory may be his. In all situations, you must first decide on the nature of victory, and then take steps to secure it. Avoid the instinct of fight first and think later." ( Leman Russ )

Androgynous Daemon Prince of Slaanesh





Norwalk, Connecticut

Fully decked out unit of Initiate honor guard for BT led by Grimaldus, Helbrecht and 3 Tech Marines loaded down. You can put out a whopping, oh, I don't know...like 80 freaking preferred enemy attacks, a bunch with power weapons, a bunch with power fists (lots of tech marine 'fists') and a bunch of ablative wounds plus Grimaldus not staying dead. Gross? Yeah. Expensive beyond belief? Yup. You won't be fielding anything else-of course it'll end up being a 23 man unit, and it'll be a tank.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

My favorite units all have eviscerators.

Whether it's a 60-year old man using a 12-foot long chainsaw sword to break open a land raider in a single blow, or Kharn, who, whether shooting or chopping ALWAYS HITS (...someone).

I suppose then my favorite unit would have to be the one with the highest concentration of eviscerators - the sister repentia squads.

Not sure actually I rather have a myriad of units I like, it determines which armies I play and which I don't. There's probably at least one unit per codex I like.

Space Marine Dreadnought with an assault cannon. Not the best unit by far but I love the idea of a dead soldier entombed in a walking tank with a giant minigun mowing down lines of soldiers.

Personally, I think mine would have to be Eldar Howling Banshees.

I love the models, and I love what they do in-game. It's also nice to see men stuffing their armor above the waist instead of below for once - you don't really think that Space Marines need all that bulging crotch armor, do you?

In every, EVERY Eldar list I field, I find room for at least one unit of them, preferably a big one. They are the only unit in my Eldar army that have any painted models - discounting my old Striking Scorpion Exarch I bought and painted years ago purely because it looked cool, and have yet to use. Also have an old Banshee Exarch with the double-bladed, sturdier-looking Executioner that I'll probably repaint. 'Right now she's got grey armor, not the more traditional bone-colored stuff my 2 1/2 painted Banshees do - can't fully count my second Exarch, as I swapped out her Mirrorswords for an Executioner and haven't painted it yet.

In Dawn of War: Soulstorm, I've gone on skirmish as Eldar and fielded nothing but Banshees and Wraithlords - the Wraithlords were to use up my vehicle population and worked well against flyers - plus an Avatar. It was surprisingly effective against the enemy Orks.

Edited for clarity.
