Ork shoota boyz. A whole mob of 30 looks awesome.

And there is nothing like rolling 54 shoota shots followed by 3 rokkits. Then doing it again on over watch shots. 114 dice in one turn. Dakka dakka dakka !

im going with a good old wolf lord decked out with runic armor, thunder hammer, storm shield, saga of the bear and thunderwolf mount. he has won me many a game almost by himself.
Also i need to give a shout out to my favorite character of all time Ajac Rockfist Grimnars Champion, although he dies before he makes back his points he is by far fluff and gameplay model.

Silly double post =(

I just love my Tyranid Warriors being led by my Tyranid Prime with LW and BS. Not only do they look totally ballin' they pack a punch. Only problem is getting blast ID'd by an orbiital bombardment or something, it just makes me sad the models aren't on the table anymore really.

I like the riptide even though I'm a SW player. Within my own army, I like Bjorn (because he's just a badass and generally wrecks stuff), and wolf guard terminators. They have a cool, unique look to them.

Grenadiers, best looking model, nice fluff and pretty awesome gear/looks

They do good-ish on the table top, to boot.

I'm fethed because my favorite units are Warp Talons due to the models, but are utterly worthless for anything else but turning Space Marine Squads into gory fruit loops.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can make them downright tanky as feth (was planning to myself, but haven't got the codex yet)... Warp Talons count as Daemons and already have an invuln of 5+ - give them Mark of Tzeentch for a 4+ invuln and then have an allied Greater Daemon with the Grimoire --- buff the Invuln to 2+. Sure you have a chance to instead debuff their invuln back to 5+, but the times where you get 2+ would make it worth it

I feel like that entire unit was just unnecessary, and the entire kit could have just been for raptors. If you've read Blood Reaver and Void Stalker, then you'll know that some raptors look like Warp Talons already. I think that just giving Raptors that amount of bling for themselves felt like a waste to GW so they made raptors that were 2edgy4u that they could market as a new unit for people to buy.

Purely on their own merit, what doesn't make sense to me is how they can possibly be controlled by anybody. If they "have long since lost the means to speak, reason, or create", then how on earth do they not just end up doing their own thing once they make that kill? Maybe if they're what Raptors turn into if they continue to mutate, a Warp Talon would be the last thing that's seen before they never come back, and every warp talon that gets sent off for a kill is on its final mission, that'd be pretty cool. But that sounds like it'd be more on an individual level. Like they'd lose the capacity to work together. Teamwork falls under the "whole "speak, reason, create" banner. So I guess that's another thing. Why are they a unit as opposed to individuals? Why can they have a squad leader? And getting back to that final mission thing I was talking about, that can't be it because apparently they're not only an organized unit but they come back enough for their patrons to figure out how they hunt so that they can get them to go after the right people. At this point most of you should be thinking "you're looking too far into this", to which I say that that is basically the definition of half-baked.

Oh, and they can take marks of chaos for some reason. Lost entirely to the hunt, but still make some time in their day for religion. How sweet.

Armoured Sentinels, They always die but, they do soke up the fire, can go in close combat and most of the time make their points back. That ans they are very much a mech-commander type unit
