Hi guys

I was just wondering, what do you all think the coolest unit in the games is, it could be a hq or anything else, though personally i reckon the hq's look best. I have a few thoughts, but I haven't all of the units, or even many of them.

Thanks

All the Ultramarines and everyone else is just hating LOL j/k

These

Ork Nobz for me, hulking green killing machines loaded with Power Klaws and Big Choppas will ruin anyones day.

Leman. Russ. Battle. Tank. I can't help but feel all tingly inside everytime I field them. They just look awesome on the board with tons of tiny little guardsmen swarming around them. Plus, I love pie plates

i agree with the leman russ especially, but i was more thinking of the coolest looking model aesthetically by it self, even if it is a terrible model game wise,

I personally love the look of the LRBT, but I can see why others would dislike it. In that case, probably would have to put my money on the sentinel. Always thought they looked really cool, even if I don't use them often.

Too many to choose from.

I'll go by race and looks...

Eldar: Wraithlord

Dark Eldar: Talos or Lhamean

Space Marine: Sternguard

Chaos Marine: Typhus

Daemons: Bloodcrushers

Sisters of Battle: The one pulling the grenade pin with her teeth

Imperial Guard: LRBT or any DKoK model

Orks: Lootas/Burnas or Dakkajet

Tau: Stealth Suit team

Tyranids: Trygon

Necrons: Wraiths

Krieg Grenadiers and anything with an Earthshaker gun.

Actually the name ''Earthshaker'' is pretty darn awesome.

Its got to be the FW contemptor mortis dread for me.
All shall fear the walking egg of doom!

The current techmarine model. I love it. And now in 6th I'll be fielding it more often. Dark Eldar Lhamean is also an awesome model.

I absolutely love the Macharius Vulcan tank from FW - it's an amazing-looking chassis with what looks like a Warhound megabolter mounted on top.

I'd have to say the Valkyrie is one of the coolest looking units in the game

I'm gonna go with Tau Broadsides. Awesome piece of technology with a cool appeal, especially if a fw build

I'll also go by race and looks...

Eldar: Warlocks
Dark Eldar: Razorwing Jet
Space Marine: Dreadnaughts
Sisters of Battle: Repentia
Imperial Guard: Creed, such a bawss
Orks: Ork Trukk, looks like a junkyard titan
Tau: Broadsides and to a lesser extent Crisis suits
Necrons: Nightbringer

BT sword brother with lightning claws.

im surprised there are hardly any HQ's or IC's

I must add my favourite DE model is the talos, and close behind is lelith and wyches

Fluff wise...

Look wise...

oooh... tough one.

I've always been partial to the most recent Tyranid warriors; they look aggressive, and they've aged extremely well despite being 3rd edition sculpts. Feeding off of that (heh...) I'd have to say the latest raveners are a close second; both units have a pose to them that always makes it look like they're leaning towards the enemy.

Eldar: Warwalkers
Dark Eldar: Razorwing Jet
Space Marine: Assault Termies
GK: Purifiers
BA: Death Company
BT: tactical Termies
SW: Long Fangs
Sisters of Battle: Repentia
Imperial Guard: LRBT
Orks: Lootas
Tau: Broadsides
Necrons: Lord w/ CCB

Never mind it's performance, the Carnifex is still the best model GW have made. And a brood of them just looks fething awesome.

as for a good signature, I would suggest

>insert creative catch-phrase here<

Fluff - Warp Spiders.

Look - Lelith Hesperax

I've always been a sucker for inquisitors. The idea that they can do anything, ANYTHING carte blanche, with little more than presenting a blank index card and saying "I'm an inquisitor, you're going what I say so" is pretty badass.

Other than that, I've long had a love affair with imperial guard ministorum priests. There's something about a crazy old man chopping a land raider in half with nothing more than faith in the emperor and a 12-foot-long-chainsaw-sword that has always struck a chord with me. That he is so insanely angry that he makes everybody else reroll attacks on the charge is just that much better. It's almost too bad that they no longer have the rule that says that if they are in range of assault, they MUST charge in...

Either the imperial navy thunderbolt or the Valkyrie

Eldar: Howling Banshees

Dark Eldar: Wytches

Space Marine: nothing

Chaos Marine: Khorne Berzerkers

Daemons: Bloodcrushers

Sisters of Battle: nothing

Imperial Guard: nothing

Orks: Nobz/Battewagon

Tau: Kroot

Tyranids: Broodlord

Necrons: Wraiths

XENOS!!!

This. Guy.

(fw bloodthirster for anyone who doesn't know)

Carnifex, hands down. Stonecrusher looks brutal!
