More recently, I take "Superfexes"... Really kitted-out carnifexes with something like 100 points of extra biomorphs. What isn't cool about three 200 point monstrous creatures massacring a bunch of space marines?

I'm guilty of superfexes too, I love my 300 point carnifex especially in 600 point games. It's still better than PAGK, and about the same points cost lol.

I don't use it anymore, but in the old IG book my favorite PCS was a single missile Launcher and two plasma guns. I never met another person that used that combo, and I knew that the ML didn't fit in right with that plasmas, but they just always worked. I'd take 2-4 of the damn things, even in tournament games.

I fielded those PCS (ML & dual Plasma), too.

Right up until the point at which Apoc came out and 40k became an Objectives game.

At that point, it became sui-Drop with quad Plasma.

I stayed with them until the new book. They're a good unit: a leadership node with Iron Discipline, some nice long range fire, the ability to move and shoot two plasmas, some ablative wounds before you lost whatever was more valuable, and the whole thing shredded transports and MEQs. All for 80pts.

Playing more Apoc, where you need to hit points fast and hard, sui-drop plasma worked better for me.

My guilty pleasure units are for Eldar. They would be, guardians (even more guilty if I use a bright lance instead of scatter laser), wraithlords (BL EML, like 6 games in a row have not killed a single vehicle with 2 of these Wraithlords).

All my Deathwing troops consist of:

Terminator Sargeant with stormbolter and chainfist
Terminator with assault cannon and chainfist
3 x Terminators with stormbolters and powerfists

Not much variety but I like 'em.

Tankbustas...Most people seem to avoid them like the plague,but I love the idea of them,and they never let me down (even when they do).

As of a recent thread...

300 DEATHSTRIKE MISSILES!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

A Vindicater
Althought it dose draw fire from everything else in my army, it ralrely gets any sort of kill. But it looks SOOOOOOOOO COOL!

My guilty pleasure is a fully tooled up DE retinue. Thats an Archon with shadow field, combat drugs, punisher and tormentor helm. 6 normal Incubi. 2 Warriors with splinter cannons. A raider. And Drazhar. Thats 466 points.
They are prehaps the most powerful assult unit on the charge in the entire game as long as they have suffered few casualties on the way in. I mean 24 I5 Ws5 S4 power weapon attacks from the Incubi. 4 I6 Ws6 S4 power weapon attacks where every hit causes two wounds (so if he hits twice he wounds 4 times) from Drazhar. and 5-6 Ws 6 S4-5 power weapon attacks from the lord. Nothing survives to hit back.
They are just soo fun because even if you hit at a quarter strength they still will kill almost any unit in the game. They die to battle cannons though and its rare for the raider to survive beyond the second turn. Massive points sink though

lol you forgot, Draz'har and the Incubi Master! That squad can do just about anything in, except for a walker. One of my friends uses that unit a lot, generally i keep the hell away from it

storm troopers, they come in, kill about four meqs, and then die. They are fun to mess with someone, but they dont do much

I agree, those things are magnets for being shot at. But when they DO get a shot off, man oh man is it sweet
I actually hope that my boyz get the pie plate just because its cool seeing so much DEATH from one tank

Do my Daemon Hunters count?

More specifically Inquisitors. Jr. Inquisitors with a psycannon and 3 HB for a firebase. Sometimes just a Jr. Inq with a psycannon and power sword I attach to a regular squad.

Inq Storm Troop Sgt with a thunder hammer. Darn he was good in 3rd edition.

AND an =I= lord with lightning claws, arti armor, 3 followers with storm shields, 3 servitors with powerfists. 100s and 100s of points for a S3 assault unit but I love them so much...

My guilty pleasure is a BA Vet Assault/Salamander Vanguard with Thunderhammers and CS/SS for everyone!

Warphead, 3 MANobs and a warboss on a bike.

10 Chaos Termies w/ 2 Reaper Autocannons and 4 Powerfists. Icon of Tzeentch.

The squad is joined by a Termie Tzeentch Lord with Demon weapon.

Expensive as all hell, and can't hold an objective, but dead shooty!!

My carnifex with Reinforced Chitin, Extended Carapace, Bonded Exoskeleton, Scything Talons, Crushing Claws, Toxin Sacs, Regenerate, Toxic Miasma, Flesh Hooks, Implant Attack ( My friend hates it when I run this bad boy up to Abbadon) Both Adrenal Glands, Tusks, And a Mace tail.

Daemonettes

Lol at the previous post. 10x Chaos terminators. 10x Lightning claws. 10x Champions. Mark of Khorne. And all combi weaponry (combi weaponry doesn't replace anything )
60 str 4 power weapon attacks on the charge, re-rolling wounds.

Mine would definitely be Pariah.

So good on paper yet so bad on the field.

My Trukks. Damnit I don't need half the crap I upgrade them with but I do it anyway.

Ooooh, my Hive Tyrant. Sometimes I find myself stroking him and saying in a suspicious voice 'My precious.....'

Leman Russ Demolisher with a lascannon and two plasma cannon. It kills anything and everything.

Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and Heavy Flamer. One of the oldest models in my army, and I have always used it since I got it four years ago.
