So I am just in love with the Word Bearer's models FW has released, and previewed. They are possibly the greatest chaos models ever made (imo). Even Lorgar (one of my least favorite Primarchs) looks great. It made me wonder which army you think has the best models.
That all being said my favorite 30k character model is Sevatar (followed closely by Typhus), and favorite Primarch model is Angron. Word Bearer's overall just have the best feel and the coolest models.

Something about the World Eaters old white and blue armor really appeals to me. Seeing their squads painted up, gore effects in plenty, it makes me really want to play 30k. And Kharn looks friggin perfect.

But Salamanders are a close second. Don't care about the Chapter, but they have some really good looking models.

Imperial fists by a long shot. They have upgrade kits for various marks of powerarmor; which don't look too out of place.

I'm very disappointed by the UM ones though. Helmets look horrible and chest pieces are not stellar either.

I want to love the World Eaters, though their terminator models look like playdough models, and the butchers heads really don't appeal to me unfortunately.

I do love the Fists range as well, though I am loving the UM stuff, very unique, although definately not the way I pictured them.

The Deathguard terminator models are just awesome. I like some of the Salamanders and Iron Hands stuff. Nothing else really catches my fancy too much.

Vulkan, Mortarion, and Ferrus Manus are my favoriute Primarch models.

For me its a toss up between the Death Guard and the Cult Mechanicum. So much goodness

As the Word Bearers fall to Chaos and become more mutated, they definitely have the coolest models.

While the Gal Vorbak are easily the coolest models I've seen in a while, I really like what has thus far been released for Alpha Legion.

I pretty much like everything haha. I really like the Emperors Children units (the Palatine Blades, Pheonix Guard and Kakophonie) but I hate the EC character wise. The Word Bearers stuff is awesome. They upcoming Suzerians for the UM look incredible. I really like Mortarion and Horus, and Typhon, Abaddon, and even Kharn who people seem to dislike. The Raven Guard contemptor is awesome. They're all really cool, which is why I can't pick a bloody legion -.-

Ultrasmurfs rule.

I have to go with the Night Lords, as always. I love thier special units and characters. I want to use terror squads for 40K!

I'll have to go with the Mechanicum, as it is a completely new model line with its own look and style.

People dislike kharn as the helmutles model is all scared, the fluff says kharn has no scars on his face at all, the model has loads.

Despite being traitors, the Word Bearers are damn spiffy looking.

I love the salamanders range, especially the terminators, makes me wish i played an army that had access to storm shields

Fists
Smurfs
Emps

in that order

not enough Alpha to form an opinion.

I also like the gorgon terminators, just ordered a batch to do up in night lord colours

Eh I'd use the helmet anyway. It's the pose most people tend to dislike from what I've seen. But I think it looks fine, and I really like his armour.

I actually like Kharn as a model to be honest.

Salamanders only for their primarch's model. It is absolutely beautiful

Hmph. Tough question. I'd go for Auxilia, really. I'm a sucker for the Imperial Guard as a concept, but I've always found their model range (obvious exceptions made) less than inspiring. The Solar Auxilia, however, has that elusive blend of gothic, dieselpunk and sci-fi that is lost in its 40k counterpart.

On the other side, however, playing 30k with anything else than Marines feels... well... wrong.

Emperor's childrens or Night Lords are best looking.

Blood Angels have the capacity to put the rest to shame if FW can nail the wings on the sanguinary guard and sanguinius himself

I love the model and fixed the pose

Personally I love the Night Lords but will be honest I'm looking forward to Leman Russ and the Space Wolves to come out ASAP, something tells me he is going to be badass and the Space Wolf range will be awesome as well.

Solar Auxilia. They have a great space medieval knight looks that fits well with Horus Heresy.

They remind me of like antique diving suits. In a good way. I do like the Solar Auxilia, a lot. There's just so many legions I want to do before I even consider them or Mechanicum.

I echo ImAGeek here. The diving suit aesthetic is excellent.

Ultramarines. I may be a bit biased here though. A close second would be Imperial Fists and third would be Emperor's Children.

Voted ECs on this one.
