Just wondering what people's opinions on the ultimate option in the following categories are?

1. Ultimate gunline army
2. Ultimate army for alpha strike / drop pod, deep strike etc
3. Ultimate cc monster
4. Ultimate horde army
5. Ultimate FUN / FLUFFY army

This is not intended for heatef tactical debate just a fun conversation about things that rock!

1) Imperial Guard or Tau (haven't personally seen the new Tau in action, but they seem to be pretty darn good haha)

2) Codex Space Marines, Sternguard in Drop-Pods and DS Terminators. Or really any Space Marine army, that's what they are supposed to do

3) Hmm...Nids or Orks, but I really aren't too good with this

4) Gonna say Orks. Nids seem to be more based around MC's now-a-days, but I still see Ork Hordes quite frequently around me and they do pretty well

5) Kinda a bad question, since ANY army can be fluffy...but I have to say Imperial Guard for most fun army to play fluffy, since you can do so much with them. But I might be a bit biased...

I'd say #3 goes to Nids, but Chaos Daemons can do some stuff in that department as well.

I agree with washout77 on #5. For modeling, I'd say Orks. The conversion and customization options are limitless. Eldar, Imperial Guard, and Tau all play like their fluff on the tabletop, so I might pick one of those.

1) IG armored company.
2) Termies.
3) Used to be BA DC, now Nids.
4) 'Nids without the MC's. Just too many!
5) Orks, man. The opportunities are endless and I don't think any guys have as much fighting as the Orks do!

1. Triptide Tau Gunline
2. Pod Wolves
3. Flying Circus Daemons
4. Horde IG(potential for more models than any other army, my foot list for 1750 has 331 men)
5. Orks. Everyone wins when orks play.

1. Ultimate gunline army IG Blob Squad with big tank support.
2. Ultimate army for alpha strike / drop pod, deep strike etc Drop Podding space wolves are good in the fluff and on the table.
3. Ultimate cc monster Mortarion from the HH:Betrayal book. He can warp through crap and attack you with a Primarch's statline.
4. Ultimate horde army Nids. They just keep pooping them out.
5. Ultimate FUN / FLUFFY army Orks. If you can't smile while your ork boys die by the handful, then you're no friend of mine.

#5 Tau crisis/broadside heavy army: I just love fielding 16 suits in 1750 points. Stuff is just jumping around all over the place, throwing down ap1/ap2 shots at decent ranges.

1. Jokaero spam in chimeras
2. Vulkan drop pod list. Twin link all those turn 1 flamers and meltas :O
3. Skarbrand... he's intense
4. Nids spamming tervigons
5. I think random stuff is fun so im going with chaos daemons but mono hod list cos mixing gods is in my opinion wrong

1 Tau - guard. Mostly tau though, I mean everyone and I mean EVERYONE is carrying a gun for tau...except kroot and who counts those guys amirite?
2 Blood angels =)
3 Umm the nid super beast thing or abaddon
4 orks! ORKS!!!
5 Umm, It depends on what you like to scream when you get that first charge off. I like to yell kill maim burn...but I like to yell WAAAAAAGH. That's all up to the player in you XD

The Horde Army is the coolest looking, and for Orks and Nids the most Fluffy. I'm really hoping in the codexes for both they make it a viable option again.

I'm also a fan of the gunline, and with Orks my favorite list is the Kan/Dread gunline, but again I need a Codex update to make it more viable in 6th.

I've always wanted to run an all Kroot Army, to be perfectly honest.
