Warp Talons. Glorious lore, disgusting rules. 'nough said.

So would you mind telling me how their warband gets them back after they're let loose?

How do Khorne Berzerkers return to their warbands after being "let loose"? Warp Talons are perfectly intelligent Astartes, they just happen to be obsessed with hunting sentient creatures. I'd assume that they do their masters' bidding, and return to said masters just like any other CSM.

Legion of the Damned, or genestealers.

Avatar of Khaine. Or every vat born dark eldar ever

Corsair Princes/Princesses. Why? Because they can be whatever you want them to be, Noble heroes protecting their land, territory, or people. Or on the flip side, they can be sadistic pirates preying on whomever or whatever catches their interest. And theres a lot of middle ground in that, so from a lore perspective theres really not much you can't do with a Corsair Prince/Princess.
If its GW and no Forge world, then Probably Dire Avengers. Vengeful and honorable warriors that arre basically Space Elf Samurai can't go wrong with me.

Squats lore wise are my favorite....

The Solitaire. One of the biggest badasses in the galaxy, they look cool as hell, they have that mystique about them even to other Eldar, the actual extent of their powers and abilities aren't even known, I love how they pretty much live amongst other Eldar, hidden as seemingly normal people, and on top of that, every time one dies, Cegorach takes on Slaanesh with their soul as the prize for the victor. How badass is that?

Words can not actually express how happy I was to see that these guys and girls got some pretty badass rules and an awesome model.

Ork Kommandos. For some reason the other races don't see them coming.

It's because of the purple paint. No one has seen a purple ork before.

I think I changed my mind. Not sure if I should count units that don't have an in-game model, but I just stumbled across the Aeonic Orb. How angry do you have to make the Necrons for them to just steal your whole freaking sun and use it as a weapon against your neighbors? That is some next-level spite right there.

Can't beat a good old dropship.

This so much, just love those stories of Kommandos.
But personal I love ork dredds and kanz.
You have your gravely wounded sm veterans put in cyborg mek suits, we do that for our lowliest grots and boys.

Tempestus Scions! Cool name imo, and are the best human warriors in the galaxy, with armour that can potentially stop bolt rounds and guns that can reliably penetrate power armour (Atleast in the game.) They just need their WS in the crunch upped to 4 to better represent the vigorous training they go through.

Other than that, I always loved khorne Berzerkers, and the idea of a rampaging, blood - crazed space marine is truly a terrifying thought.
