Shamelessly stolen from another subforum.
Here you must build your perfect 40k Squad.

You can pick from any of the factions and mix races if you like.
You must base your selection on fluff not ingame stats.
Your squad must number 5.
You must select: A leader character, a hand to hand specialist, a heavy weapons specialist, a psyker and a vehicle for them to ride in.
No Primarchs, no Ctan, no Superheavies (as vehicles), no 30k.

Leader: Calgar - tactical specialist.
Hand to hand: Kharn - 10000 years experience.
Heavy Weapons: Maugen Ra - held off half a Hive by himself.
Psyker: Ahriman - close to unlocking the black library.
Vehicle: Eldar Nightwing - dominate dog fighter in 40k.

Leader: Creed
H2H: Bloodthirster
Heavy: Dakkafex
Psyker: Fateweaver
Vehicle: Ork trukk

Because what's funnier and more terrifying than a bunch of badasses suddenly rumbling into a fight in a POS car

Leader: Marbo, god of everything.
H2H: some random guardsman to carry Marbo's collection of knives.
Heavy: some random guardsman to carry extra demo charges.
Psyker: the corpse of some random psyker Marbo killed because he does not need space magic to kill you.
Vehicle: Marauder Destroyer (the best vehicle ever created), because Marbo does not care about your stupid rules.

Leader: Imotekh
Hand to hand: The Swarmlord
Heavy Weapons: Pask with Punisher
Psyker: Eldrad Ulthran
Vehicle: Monolith

Leader: Eldrad. He knows what you're going to do before you do it and will make your brain ooze out your ears if you annoy him.
Hand to Hand: Drazhar. You cannot run, you cannot hide. Now shut up and sit down.
Heavy Weapons: Kain, DoW2 Retribution. The man rigged up a full-auto lascannon. What's not to like?
Psyker: Kairos. Might as well stick all the ML4 folks in one place. Also he can make backup.
Vehicle: Sableclaw. Drazhar drives, Kain snipes people from the passenger seat, Eldrad stands on top shouting directions and somehow keeping his balance, Kairos flies along behind. 10 rear armour, you say? Who's going to be left alive behind them to shoot it?

Leader: Tzeentch. He is always three steps ahead.
Hand to Hand: Cegorach. Patron of the Harlequins, he joy-buzzed Khorne.
Heavy Weapon: Creed. You see that lamp post over there? There is a baneblade behind it.
Psyker: Eldrad. He is the most powerfully dickish Psyker there is. Who else would run with a squad of dicks?
Vehicle: Looted Golden Throne. Orks loot everything.

There you go. No Super-heavies, no Primarchs, no C'Tan, no 30K.

Leader: Abbaddon, the biggest badass of 40k.
Hand to Hand: Typhon, nothing like having your own personal zombie horde to use as cannon fodder.
Heavy: Pask, we all know what he can do with a Leman Russ. I would love to see what he could do with a Land Raider.
Psyker: Ahriman, Any dude who has the stones to challenge his Primarch is awesome in my book.
5th member: Creed, best military mind of the time.
Transport: A borrowed Grey Knight Land Raider, fully reforged through a Chaos hell forge to allow all of the Chaos goodies.

Leader: Farsight, because he is pretty damn cool.
Hand to hand: Daemon Prince- Because badass that can work with Tau if they seek the same goal.
Heavy Weapons: Defiler, sure not a character, but a badass heavy that looks cool.
Psyker: ANOTHER Daemon prince! Because whats better then one Daemon Prince? TWO!
Vehicle: Monlith- Coolest vehicle EVERRRRRRR

Leader: Pask - because he can do magic with a single tank.
H2H: Saint Celestine - Big girl with big flaming sword.
HW: Iron hands MotF with Conversion beamer on bike - Feel the wrath of the Omnissiah.
Psyker: Random Witch - I'm not into space magic
Vehicle: Leman Russ Executioner - there is not enough AP2 weapons.

Witch Old ZogWart- He turns any and all of his enemies into squigs WITH HIS MOTHER FETHING MIND!!!!!...then eats them...unless their Necrons , they become high octane Squid fuel.
Vehicle: Rok. Imma goin' ta land a MOTHER FETHING ASTEROID RIGHT ONTOP OF YOU! Try and make your LOS roll now

Leader: Punisher-Pask. I love gatling, and he gets BRRRRRRRP done.
