**psychadelicmime**

Title says all.

Mine would be the master of ordnance. In the 3 games that I've used him in, he's killed 17 models and has been killed once.

Spoiler:

I need to fix his eyes...

**kronk**

Ork boys.

1? Nothing to fear.

30? Oh crap!

**Puscifer**

Model wise - any of the Nurgle Daemons.

Rules wise - Necron Warriors. These things in large numbers can just destroy anything from a Marine to a Land Raider.

**Redline01**

model? Epidemius

In game? Land Raider Crusader, bringing pain in terminator form straight to the front line

**Eldarain**

Sternguard.

I somehow play three MEQ armies and can't take them in any of them. But those guys are just awesome. Tons of great loadout options and all the special ammo. Really cool unit.

**Mohoc**

Forgeworld (model, not rules) Great Unclean One. He got awesome in the new codex.

**captain collius**

Models: Deathwing Knights

Gameplay: Deathwing Knights

They really do kick butt.

**hubbsey**

The Swarmlord; I love being able to point guaranteed carnage around the battlefield. His fluff is so cool too. The pinnacle of Tyrant evolution.

**TheFatElf**

Ork Nobz.

SO. MUCH. WOUND ALLOCATION.

**afelt.tech**

Models: Sanguinary Guard

Gameplay: My Seer Council has long been my favorite.

**Stoned Monkey**

IG Kasrkins. I stand alone when I usually suggest them but I just think they look awesome. I modelled one to hang out the back of my Valkyrie firing out ( means I can no longer shut the hatch but I'm here for the modelling mainly)

**curran12**

Seraphim.

**Jimsolo**

Vulkan He'Stan.

If you mean non-character unit, then I have to go with Sternguard.

**thenoobbomb**

Marbo.

I mean, it's Marbo.

**paqman**

Model wise, I just built a techmarine with his servo harness... wow, what a great miniature with all the arms comming out of his back pack.

Rules wise.... its a tie between the Dreadnought with 2 x twin linked auto canon and the devastators, both perform almost every game.

**wfischer**

Canoptek Wraiths. At my FLGS everyone fears them, at least one person won't even play against me if I field them. Plus, they look menacing and cool.

**Super Ready**

Death Company!! Even before the buff to Rage in 6th, a few local players learned the hard way that they can't be ignored.

**Evileyes**

Great unclean one. I hate losing unit's, and it doesn't come much more resilient than him

**Condas**

Would drop pods count? I have an unusual obsession with them.

If not then Vanguard Veterans would be my favorite. Though from what I hear it would be a close call with Blood Angels Death Company I know little about them aside from that they are a very assault oriented.

**wilsjur**

Swarmlord or Eldrad

Swarmlord just because he can kill anything anywhere no matter what no loopholes

Eldrad because he has frikkin 3 psychic powers per turn and has 5 powers to replace with psychic disclipline powers—5 of 6 chances of getting invisibility

**Peregrine**

Marbo.

Second place goes to the Vulture gunship with punisher cannons.

**Shadox**

Venerable dreads! Back in 5th they were even more resilient than AV 13, now they are barely worth their points but I field my venni anyhow!

**TedNugent**

In terms of sheer style, foot Nobz.

Nobz squads are why I'm here. Even in spite of the ridiculous name.

**talljosh85**

Love the Death Company as models and in the game, rage and FNP is so much fun.

**AL-PiXeL01**

For me it's a draw between Chaos Terminators and Chaos Land Raiders. Awesome fluff and models.

**orkboy2d**

warboss from blackreach

**Somedude593**

Model :Guardsman #18299482728192847261029387563829
Great guy, good with kids, and fun at parties
Unit? Guardsmen 18299482728192847261029387563829 through 39
exellent chaps.. went to Elementary school with most of them except for Sylvester

**FreddieTau6**

Model wise I love the wraithlord such a gorgeous model and so much potential as well for poses and modelling.

Game wise it's a toss up between Eldrad and his harlequin clowns of death or the Guardian jet bikes I am loving these quick little buggers right now!

**Ironklawmadgutsmek**

model wise - Kaptin Badrukk and my flash gits. really a hit or miss over priced unit.
game wise - THSS termis

He only gets four. But thats still good

From the eldar faq
Psychic Powers
A Farseer (including Eldrad Ulthran) may use the psychic
disciplines found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, instead of
those in Codex: Eldar. If he does so, for each psychic power he
has purchased from Codex: Eldar, generate a new power from
either the Divination or Telepathy discipline (in any
combination) before armies are deployed. Eldrad Ulthran
generates four new powers.

My favourite unit in the game....

Either Striking Scorpions or Warp Spiders.
Rules wise - Nightwing.Cheap,nasty and rage inducing. (WTF? thats got a 2+ jink Save? rraargh!OP! - the sound of people fighting them)
