Given the love letters she's been writing to the IG of late, I'd be rather surprised if they weren't number one.

It cannot not be the IG IMO. To repost my comments here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/295509.page

"In a time filled with giant genetically engineered super-warriors, alien monstrosities and extradimensional invaders conjured from your own nightmares the Imperial Guard are just men armed with rifles; armoured most heavily in the steel toes of their boots. That's why they're my favorite, they're the little guys in the big, bad galaxy."

Space Marines are mortal heroes long before they become Space Marines, but that's a discussion for another time I think.

Orks have gotten considerably more Melissa love ITT than IG--up to an including the statement that the greenskins already rule the galaxy (pfft). Of course, it could be a deliberate feint to distract from IG's ultimate victory.

Im really with you on the Space Marine subject. Guardsmen are the muscle, the marching, the working, the many of the imperium. They work their asses off just for their work to be credited to some genetically engineered super human who gave a good speech.

You know what the most redundant statement in WH40k is?: Badass guardsman.

The IG are probably the hardest motherf--kers to ever grace the galaxy.

If there's a commissar to shoot them when they try to run away, yeah.

No no no. Those commisars are inneffective. We need more of these:

In the grim dark future of the 41st millenium there is only love

I actually laughed at the hat more than anything else. Catface smiley instead of a skull, classic.

The commanders pipe would get in the way. It would sound lispy.

Looks like the guardsman on the right is about to get a hug himself.

I heartily condone this new method of morale raising.

Hate to rain on your parade, but saying that the concepts of space marines are overdone is somewhat odd, as I cannot name a single videogame character that came before them.


More colourful words were originally typed.

Oh and also this is a great thread

I agree with the hate on space wolves. IHATETHEM.

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. I might wholeheartedly disagree with what you might think about the Wolves, but this is the internet and it'd be remiss of me to try and convert you.

Even so, I don't agree with you.

pffft indeed. Orks rule the galaxy at creating and destroying their own empires daily. They do make good little emoticons though

I'm starting to think its a double bluff and SoB will come top

I'm pretty sure Eldar will be next, and I hope orks are top

Great thread BTW Melissa, I don't agree with you by any streach of the imagination, but you put forward a good argument and its been a decent read

Gorechild you are a traitor and a fool. You're agreeing with someone who's never bothered to read anything about chaos marines yet feels the need to evaluate them based off that lack of knowledge. Well damn I suppose I should write a review for the "metaphysical concepts of space travel and why I think some are neato." Then I'll rank them in descending order from my least favourite, opinion-based review to my first favourite opinion-based review.

That being said I heard next edition space wolf long fangs get missiles for free and they all naturally pick different targets at will.

The above post is not in any way a hilarious overreaction to a highly insignificant topic.

Wow.

Someone needs to cool his balls and realize that he's getting worked up over a subjective opinion of a fictional army of plastic soldier men.

So Melissia...

any chance the Dark Eldar or Necrons will move up your list with the new release/future release of new codices?

I can't remember off the top of my head (it's probably stated somewhere in the DE review I'm too lazy to go read again) but I'm pretty sure she mentioned that DE only made it as high on the list as they did due to having a brand new codex.

I suppose it's safe to say the same may occur when Necrons get an update.

Dark Eldar already did. They were originally about four ranks lower.

Marines aren´t humans. They were humans. And they can feel affinity with humans like, say, a vampire do, but that´s all. The mere fact of their inmortality and invulnerability to disease aumotatically disqualify them to be part of a race which defines itself by its flaws and its strenghts, not only by the latter.

Someone need to calm down, I´m not looking at you LordWaffles (or maybe I do).

Er... You do realize that not all flaws are caused by disease/death, right?

The assumption that marines aren't flawed is ridiculous. Without the flaws of space marines, there would have been no Horus Heresy.

Without flawed Space Marines, your favorite army would be shy one C'tan.

I'm lovin this thread.
Its like Steve Colbert writing a white dwarf.

Except Stephen Colbert is being ironic.
