Where's that IF vs. Giant two-headed dinosaur fight pic from?

From warseer's firebase magazine, can't recall which issue.

What happened to Fauntleroy? That would be very anti-climatic is the thread died. Well, Dorn got beat by Bat ears so... Go Dark Angels!?

Eh, at least we don't have to stomach Dark Angels being in the top 5, or worse yet, the overall winner.

But now I don't get to flaunt that more CSM made it into the Top 10 than Marines

You could flaunt that more Marines made it into the Bottom 10 than CSM.

True.

Ok, I 'm good now.

I'm just glad that IH got the dubious honor of being in the top two loyalists (dubious because the other was DA!)

This is utterly awesome. Nice list so far.

come on fella where are you????

Did you really miss me that much ? Sorry for no update yesterday folks, after narrowly escaping death (again) I felt like utter crap for the rest of the day and didn't do anything except sit in bed. I know, I know, I'm a bad man. Anyway, let's continue shall we?

7. Caution, marines at work.

Why do I love the Iron Warriors so much? Thats an easy question-they are a proper "baddy" Chaos space Marine army. They're the guys who (quite literally) go around kicking down little kid's sand castles at the beach. If you see that emblem on the side of a Deathclaw drop pod landing on you're world, you know you and all you're mate's are screwed. They're not here to torture you, or use you to infiltrate the palace, or turn you to chaos-they're just here to shoot you, then incinerate you, and then scatter your ashes to the wind. In short; they're not nice. Not nice at all.
And like all good villians, they have a proper nemesis in the Imperial Fists. Not the regular CSM "We hate all of the Emprah's lackeys Grr" nemesis, but a proper "so mr Lysander, we meet again" animosity. They are the Sarumaun to their Gandalf, the Venom to their Spiderman, the Master to their Doctor, the Sh-you get the idea. Even better, they've got the proper "We do what you do but make it BAD!!!1!!1" thing with the siege specialists going on, and importantly they do it on their own. They don't need Chaos to hold their hands, instead they knuckle down and get the job done. Lke in Storm of Iron, which I think was a very good book (Kanulwen-if you're reading this, we've already had this discussion ), they only used Chaos when it benefitted them, and thats I suppose...intelligent, one might say.
There is one thing that I dislike about the masters of Olympia, and it's...how can I put this?....THOSE MOTHER-FETHING CAUTION STRIPES THEY WEAR ALL OVER THEIR ARMOUR!! Oh I hate those with such a passion. You're supposed to be the all-conquering seige specialists of chaos lads, not police crime scene investigators or construction workers. You're supposed to be tearing down the palace's of the false Emperor, not building one into a bypass of the A32. Those are the only things that are stopping me from colecting a full Iron Warriors army, and I will hate them forever for it.
/nerdrage.

This thread is Coolburger with Epiccheese, Completely covered in Awesomesauce.

lol genius
thats health and safety for you though

Couldn't agree more with Iron Warriors, that damned strip is why my faction is an offshoot of them, instead of just using them. Though my guys see Chaos as another power source to be exploited, so they tame the warp for their own mechanical uses.

6. I heard some girls like the Metallic feel...

Yes, yes, I know it's a Deathwatch marines, not an Iron hand above. But it's hard to find good images of the X legion-and that, coincidentially, is my point. (How many paranthetic comma's did I just use in that sentence? )
Everyone likes the Iron hands. Everyone I know personally anyway. And why wouldn't you?-they've got some of the best background of all the Space Marines (come on, who doesn't like RAEG! filled cyborg marines with a penchant for killing anyone who looks at them funny?), and they really really (x1000000) loath the Emperor's children. I can relate. "Fluffy" Iron hands lists even tend to do well, what with their predisposition towards Masters of the forge and Dreadnaughts. And that's all the good things I can say on them.
No, I know what you're thinking-why have I given them less praise than other Chapters like the Imperial fists, who scored lower down? Well, maybe you misunderstand what I mean when I say thats's all the good things I can say about them, because I mean it literally. There's pretty much nothing else I can say about them because we know very little else. The Iron hands are done no justice by GW, they are continously ignored whilst other chapter's are given more attention than they deserve. Hey, at least the White Scars got a special charector in the Marine codex, even if his model is pants (I could rant about why I hate the Kor'sarro model, but I'm afraid my rage might kill a small kitten somewhere and I'm sorry but I just can't live with that guilt ). Heck, even the Crimson fists got more coverage in the latest codex! What have they done of note except blow themselves up, , and have their asses' saved by some space fairies? Meanwhile, the Hands' get little more than a breif mention in the chapter gallery, a single picture of a model, one quote, and an indetailed campaign overview. I can think of two books the Iron hands have featured in-one is now out of print, and the other was predominately about the Emperors children. And, for a first founding chapter, that's not good enough Gee-dub. Come on Jervis, take a stance on this-I like them, a lot of people like them. I know there's the hybrid kit for them on the web, but to be honest do you know 1 person who's actually brought that? Just some transfers, or even some selling the shoulder pads from the kit seperately would encourage more people to start them. Please?
And the Praetor's of Orpheus can go feth themselves with a chainsword.

lol this is awesome. I can't wait for more. This reminds of those images about 'The Shiny Space Marines' and stuff. Does anyone know where I can find them, btw?

Haha, great list, your reasoning is pretty darn logical all in all! Totally agree about the Iron Hands, can't wait for the home stretch!

Curses, elimanated not by the chapter's fluff, but by the game designers that said that they would make an IH codex after BTs, an then compleatly forgot about them.

Don't forget the cool looking (if overpriced) Iron Hand models!

It is unfair-if the Hands had more love and attention given to them, then I've no doubt that they would have got into the top 3, maybe even have won overall. As it is, I can't in good conscicous let them beat other more well developed legions, even if that's not the IH's fault.
So to recap; the top 5 legions still to place are (in no particular order) Alpha legion, Death Guard, Word Bearers, Thousand sons, and Dark Angels.

<===this

+ the seperate bitz (shoulderpads, bionics) to make more. Was sly enough to have reserves...

Good job of coming this far .

Alpha Legion better be number one.

Alpha legion and word bearers are the only 2 that make it into the top 5 that Fauntleroy dosen't currently play...

I beat Death Guard wins .

I want Death Guard or Word Bearers to win. But I'll be fine any way.

As long as it's not Dark Angels, I really don't mind. Word Bearers are kind of tools as well, so as long as its Death Guard, Alphas, or Thousand Sons, I'll be content.
