Hi guys,
I did one such poll a few weeks ago but it was too early.
Now that every supplement is out with it's faq, what supplement are you playing or intend to be playing soon (like, in 2019) ?
Nothing particular, I'm just curious. And if you could just say why / if you play competitively with it (as it could explain why some are more played than the others).

My response is simple - I have a large Imperial Fist collection, so that's the supplement I use. It doesn't matter how powerful or weak it is since I don't play space marines competitively.

I try to adjust to the viability of my opponent's list, so having a more competitive book just means that I have more options of how to tone down my list but still be viable.

I'm currently running a reven guard list for ideas and enjoy it.

I'm bouncing back between Iron Hands and Imperial Fists.

Fists, Hands, Scars and Ravens. There's an incredibly diverse array of playstyles that the various supplements provide for, and its a lot of fun to be able to use a single model collection to swap between them depending on my mood.

Space Wolves codex supplement. Or un-supplement, as it may be.

Not quite a supplement, my SM army is Dark Angels.

Space Wolves

+ whatever, if anything, I can use in an Imperial Soup all dreadnought list.

I honestly don't expect to get another 40k game in before the year ends though.

None. Once upon a time I played soup with DW/BA/DA/SW depending on what army concept I felt like playing.

Now I can't get past the salt where every battlefield role I want to fill is done better, for cheaper by some "real astartes." After attending my first tourney after the drop of the new marines I went from feeling that I was playing an uphill battle with pride taken from winning a battle with a handicap to feeling like why did I even show up...

It's been a couple months since I've been to a tourney and my hobby time has been fun but I think permanent damage to my local RTT scene has been done with numbers falling from consistent 15-20 at local RTTs around the area to single digits for most tournaments I've checked on.

Salamanders only.

UM because vanilla + flexibility + loyalty.

Ultramarines, my custom chapter are an Ultramarines sucessor chapter. and the flexability of the supplement is nice, I have all the others though. (mostly bought for the lore belive it or not) so If I want to run something else to mix it up I'll have the option

Exactly this, but Ultramarines.

Ravenguard spoke to me, and I had the Shadowspear set that just didn't gel with my Dark Angels.

I didn't think so many people were playing RG compared to the poor WS ! Ultramarines are way more played than the others (poster boys effect ?) who are pretty much all as numerous, well played GW !

Out of curiosity is anyone able to tell me how many strats there are in the core SM book.

Also how many starts there are per supplement or is it veriable?

Also if PA BT book is supplement level of starts?

16 in the Ultramarines supplement and 34 in the Space Marines codex.

RG since its close to my BA army.
The tactics is slightly different but I like the look of those Marines.
Moreover, I can field my three painted Invitors.
