Fluff: Deathwatch. Anything Deathwatchy!

Model: New Sternguard Veterans or Cadian Shock Troopers

It's a tie between Seraphim and Basilisks. One descends from heaven with a chorus of angels and burns the unworthy, the other can shoot tables on the other side of the room, and that's funny.

Imperial Fists Chapter tactic devastator's. They have served me well.

Big Mek.
Something about a overexcited Tinkerer who just welds and hammers together his insane creations is just so Orky.

Performance wise deathwing, aesthetically incubi. Going through a dark eldar phase, but i'm pretty average even with my dark angels so not sure if i want to up the difficulty by getting into dark eldar lol

I like the Dreadnought Walkers myself, even though I've never really played around with a proper one. They have good fluff, I like how the have to be deactivated and kept in a storage shrine, and even just the regular Dreads are highly prized artefacts.

I wonder why there aren't more named characters in dreadnought form? Sure there is Bjorn, but you'd think the other chapters would have at least a special character dread. Especially chapters like the BA who get the furioso.

I'm also very partial to the Predator tank.

I've got to go with Rubric marines here. Such a cool concept. Such a shame they've pretty much always been such a bad unit, or at least, far too expensive for what they do. (I still have a 1K Sons army though.)

I'm also really fond of Grey Hunters -they're just badass-, and various Eldar aspect warriors (Dark Reapers are my current favorite, but it varies from time to time).

And Praetorians (the Guard army). They're also badass.

Heldrakes (at least three of them)

Despite the unimaginable diversity of the 40k range, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, will ever come close to being as brilliant as ork boyz.Its just a fact.

What about a close encounter of the daemon kind?

Black Knights. Love the idea of elite bikers with an awesome weapon zooming up and blasting/bashing something to death.

Thunderwolf Cavalry are the coolest, most ba thing in miniatures wargaming, IMHO. I can't wait for something to bring back some assault to the game. Wolf cav were my fifth edition staples, and I really haven't had much fun with the game since 6th invalidated them.

Ork Nobz with big choppas. I love their kit and they just look like they are coming to wreck your life.

Haha unfortunately I wasnt talking about in game effectiveness (although this is not something and Ork Boy unit lacks) I simply meant that Ork Boyz are the heart and soul of their race, and I challenge you to find someone who doesn't find them great.

That's quite easy...now finding someone who doesn't find them hilarious is another question.

*raise hand*

Far too many SM players that have been taking too much bolter porn :/
I cannot convince any of them that n Ork boy can be awesome.

Ah, well. At least I still have these Orkmoticons:

Blitza-Bomma. It's useless and expensive but the model and the idea behind the rules is so cool. Zoggin 'eck!
