As an IG player I'd love to have some Howling Banshees, it would make me nigh-on unstoppable.

As an IG blob player, I would go for Sang priests. Seems like a good buff for Guards units.

Other than that, pretty much anything with a psychic hood.

As a Grey Kbight player, fluffwise I can have more or less anything. I could even get Eldar or Necron tech like EMLs or Tesserect Labirynths.

But seriously what I want is Basilisks for long range firepower.

As a vanilla marine player I want Deathwing Termies. Everything oyr assault Termies have, but with a Tac Yerminator's CML.

I guess as a Tyranid player I would steal a Land Raider Crusader. This way my Nids can do their nails in the vehicle just like how the Almighty Space Marines hide and cower in their vehicles and do the last minute "vehicle rush" to win the game.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

This. Also, Crusaders from the GK book and Sternguard weapons (or something similar) from Vanilla marines. That would make me happy.

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

Good news. This is the best time in the hobby. Full of promise. GW lets us down each time and we know it but secretly we're hoping that this is the edition that GW gives us a balanced game that can also be played competitively at tournaments. I'm loving it.
