1 = Ultras (Romans in Space!)
2 = Space Wolves (very very close second)
3 = Ravenguard
after that, I'd say Dark Angels and Imperial Fists or Black Templars... I like the top 7 or so, the rest I have no use for (and I really don't find the BA very appealing, though I get why others do)

Why though? There are no examples of this generalization, unless you can give us one. No it's not stated that even the Chaos Gods cannot vanquish Draigo, that is utter BS, don't make things up.

I don't think we can judge Mr Ward just yet. He's written 3 marine codices, which have each been of poorer quality than the last, but the fluff is clearly designed to appeal to a 10 year old mindset (Nemesis Doomfist?????  ), the ones that marines are marketed to, and when arguably GW's most reliable writer writes a marine codex it ends up being just as immature. I just think it's GW robbing the kiddies.
But this is off topic.
Anyway, definitely Black Templars. Badass paint scheme and badass fluff.

No he didn't. He responded to every point you made. Why though? There are no examples of this generalization, unless you can give us one. No it's not stated that even the Chaos Gods cannot vanquish Draigo, that is utter BS, don't make things up.

You can't seriously have got that The Chaos Gods themselves couldn't kill Draigo form that, could've you?

So what you think is, that if Khorne were to fight Draigo, Draigo would win? That's not what the quote says.

neither would win, its a horrible draw.
Draigo can't beat the Chaos gods, but neither can they beat him.
its all Tzeench's fault so you can blame him.

I'm 100% certain that if Khorne himself were to come along and fight Draigo, Draigo would be completely annihilated. The quote does not refer to The Chaos Gods themselves, it refers to the followers they send to attack Draigo, which are part of them.

Technically, pretty much everything in the warp is a god of some caliber. The big 4 simply being the most powerful/famous. Every Daemon could be a god. Most would be simpley forms of the big 4, but there would be thousands if not millions of gods living in the warp. Source - Blood Gorgons by Henry Zou. The chapter had their own deity who was an ancient god, albeit a very weak one

The Wanderers whats not awesome about a bunch of bickering free minded space marines that constantly make fun of other chapters, and also use technology just because they feel like it.
That and they have kickass armor.  (I like my chapter I made.)
okay but in canon Dark Angels.

My favorite chapter is Ultramarines. Because they are the definition of Astartes.
My least favorite chapter is Grey Knights. Because imo they have no real place in games of 40k. I suppose I'd like them better if they were only allowed to be fielded against choas related armies. And the dreadknight... WORNSTROM! I hate the dreadknight more than any unit in the game, it seems as if someone at GW was all "Did you see Avatar?! That machine thingy with the combat knife was so cool! We must add it to the newest marine book!". IMO it is the silliest, stupidest and most ugly marine thingy ever (Rogue Trader Dreadnaughts looked better). It has no place in the 40k universe unless it is given jet packs and a shas'o pilot. And yes I know it has history in the older books but those were the days when grey knights were the same color sceme as DeathWatch.

First I have to go with Space Wolves but I selectively ignore some of their fluff. I just dig the Vikings/barbarians in space. It gives me lots of room to convert cool stuff. I make their look more Viking and less wolf, and I hate the thunderwolves! My second would be Black Templars ’cause I like the knightly aspects.
