Marines: Scouts. I like their equipment what they can have and infiltration is fun.

IG: Leman Russ Punisher. The thing is just hilarious to play.

DE: Succubus. The model is awesome and was the first DE model I bought.

Chaos: Cultists. The thought of a stupendous amount of lunatics with autoguns/pistols charging in the enemy ranks is just amusing.

I shall rule the world someday utilizing my cuteness. And I already have one minion to help me do it!

Perhaps the only thing more threatening to infantry lovers than a full squadron of dakkapunishers is the amount of time you'll spend rolling all those dice.

Pauper with Promise





My Kroot...I only have one squad (10 models) and sometimes take a few hounds. No shapers, no Krootox, just carnivores.

In ten years they have yet to fail a morale check. They always pass an obscene number of cover saves and when out in the open my opponents tend to favour the 's .

This all started back in 3rd. It was my first game fielding Kroot against my buddy's Tyranid and he quickly wiped out the squad with a pack of Genestealers. A lone Kroot survived to eventually win combat, refused to fail his "Last Man Standing" tests and managed to strip the last wound from his Tyrant.

In my most recent game, the squad held their midfield objective for 5 Turns, shrugging off a Baal Predator, a Vindicator and due to positioning, prevented a Land Raider from offloading it's cargo of Death Company.

Obliterators, mainly as I use the FW AdMech models for them. They certainly catch a few glances and perform pretty well on the battlefield.

Nihilistic Necron Lord




The best State-Texas

I enjoy using my Triarch Praetorians.

I really enjoy the models, and while not the most competitive choice, throwing a Dlord in with them, they can be pretty fun. A lot of people underestimate them, when they are so used to seeing Wraiths.

For Tyranids, I enjoy my big beasties. Just seeing Hordes of Gaunts on the Table, with massive models like the Tervigon, is just awesome.

Chaos, My Daemon Prince with Black Mace. I enjoy seeing the Fear, they strike into my enemies eyes!

I named the tank "Platoon" because it puts out almost as much shots as an infantry platoon.

Stealthy Dark Angels Scout with Shotgun




I almost always take my helbrute. He has a plasma cannon and a missle launcher which often blows tactical squads to pieces

I take him because, he just looks cool. I think people under estimate helbrutes.

My Big Mek with SAG

This was the first model besides my warboss that I spent days on to paint correctly. He seems to always rip appart a squad of termies and the look on my opponents face when i roll box cars for strength is priceless

Imperial Guard Infantry Squad

They are your normal joes in a not-so-normal grimdark universe fighting for survival against the horrors of the galaxy. It almost seems futile when they are against the task, but with nothing but discipline, zeal, and a lasgun, they can sometimes beat the odds and overturn the universe.

In-fact that's why I like the Imperial Guard, average humans fighting for survival against all manners of horrors.

Keeper of secret's, my own model, and I love it. It's an inquisition-range model, of an assassin, converted into a giant leather-clad daemonette wielding a sword bigger than her. Love it

My stern guard in a drop pod with Lysander. This unit is so Killy it makes it fun to watch your opponent squirm as a squad is erased with nothing they can do haha. Also the utility they bring us awesome. Ignores cover, ap3, and poisoned 2+ will demolish squads of anything but 2+ saves. Add the re-rolls to hit from Lysander and were talking 12-18 wounds depending on rolls.

I love fielding my thunderwolf lord. It's a shame his frost axe is initiative 1 now so I just say he has a frost sword. Eventually I'll need to convert it.

3 man SM attack bike squad running multi-meltas especially with Vulkan He'stan as the HQ.

Those 3 twin linked multi-meltas have been the bane of any armored vehicle by turn 2. They've also been racking up flyer kills roasting hell turkeys.

I really like fielding my Company Commander. I gave him two plasma pistols and it always surprises people when he pops up out of the command chimera to start shooting.

For my BA, I have an old metal Chaplin with a plasma pistol. I was actually given this guy when I started playing Space Marines and I have stuck with him ever since. Reclusiarch Raphael Taros. That guy has been with me for forever and it's a shame that in my current lists I don't have a chance to field him. Maybe I will dust him off again here soon.

Freaky Flayed One






My converted Nurgle Obliterators, they look pretty cool and they are the back bone of my CSM force, one in particular gets a lot of love as I got stuck for ideas when green stuff guns onto terminators bodies and ended up sticking a Rotary canon between its legs. He is Nurgle's favored Son & routinely passe a huge amount of armor saves.
