For me its the Ultramarines.

Did one for the chaos legions and thought I would try it for the loyalist ones.

I think the big three will probably be Blood Angels, Wolves and Dark Angels; but be interesting to see if some have got more popular with the HH novels/game like Iron Hands.

Gotta be DA for me. They're a "bit" more flawed than UM. Also Lion El'Jonson looks like Brett Michaels.

Blood Angels: soo close to heretics but still good guys

It's a toss up most days between Imperial Fists and Iron Hands, but at the end of the day I just have to respect an army that can go into battle in yellow armor and win.

I voted for the Imperial Fists, even though I prefer a second founding chapter by the name of the Crimson Fists.

Who aren't a legion.

In spite of playing a IF successor, I love the fluff of the Dark Angels. I like the characterization of the Lion as a tortured perfectionist.

In the days of old I would have said Imperial Fists, however Salamanders have since grown on me a lot...so Salamanders!

DA as well. The idea of a fallen chapter hunting their old members is just such a cool background

Scythes of the Emperor!

I don't see Thousand Sons anywhere..?

Salamanders. I like the whole 'we live among the people because we are their champions' attitude, it's much less aloof and isolationist than most other Chapters

That's why I dislike them. Ignoring 20 years of Marine background.

In 30k: Space Wolves.

In 40k: Blood Angels.

Raven Guard FTW!

Salamanders, the only good guys in 40k.

Alpha Legion.

That's because he's Alpharius.

Bum bum buuuuuum.

Used to be Dark Angels but the perpetual hunt for the fallen has worn me down to the point I don't think it's cool anymore. I just wish there was more fluff about them killing things without them having to look for a marine in a haystack.

Now It's Raven Guard, especially after the latest HH book. Sneaky stealthy hard hitting badasses with a simple paint scheme, whats not to love?

It's okay, I'm Alpharius too.

We are all Alpharius. Might as well be.

But on that note, I hope in the new CSM codex they add Legion Tactics. I might start up some Alpha Legion, if that's the case.

If not Legion Tactics, at least Legion specific FOCs.

I guess. I still think tactics would be better. I know people who would kill to play Night Lords, and my girlfriend would love Death Guard.

How are they so close to heretics?
Was Sanguinius not one of the most loyal Primarchs?
He gave his life for the Emperor and every Marine will, at some point, experience that occurrence.
And isn't Dante a legend and saviour among the citizens of the Imperium?

I've got a Plague Marine army in the garage (along with my now illegal Defilers who are tooled up with extra CCW arms). I'd love Legion tactics. I'll settle for Legion FOCs just to get a bone at this point.

Lol, I guess that makes sense then.
