so, I have been thinking a lot in spare time. (dangerous I know, emperor help me) about which chapter I would WANT to join and why?

I am by no means listing every chapter there is here, so I will give you the main ones. if you have another I did not post, post it, why you would want to and I may add it as an option

Ultramarines- seem the be the best all around, good warriors, good administrators, fair in most things, and your blue haha.

Dark Angels- the warrior monk feel is just badassery, + the chance to be part of the wings and inner circle is nice. besides I am a quite person by nature

Blood Angles- red+wings+artificer armor= epicness. who doesn't like flying around in a jumppack as a vet? also, all the guys in charge are general "I will take your lunch money" dudes. only negative is the BR and the RT.

PS if I missed some "big" chapters I apologize, I am doing my best :( lol.

Blood Ravens. I may die horribly and have to listen to bad speeches but at least I'd wear red without having to go insane. And occasionally stealing priceless artifacts.

My top 3 favorite chapters would be (In no order)

1) Blood Ravens (I voted for)
2) Imperial fists
3)Space Wolves

failing all that, I would be a Officer in the Dkok army. maybe a artillerist

Ultramarines. It seems like the least painful option, and they're the least messed up. Plus everyone in the Imperium loves an Ultramarine, and I probably would have had a good upbringing in Ultramar.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Ideally I'd be in the Black Dragons. You know, so I could be 40k Wolverine.
But, in a pinch, Salamanders is a solid choice too (ALL the flamers/meltas).

Alpha Legion: No one knows jack-diddly about them. Even fewer know about Omegon.
Alpha Legion: Using the entire Dark Vengeance starter set. If it's got a geneseed and power armour, it's fair game.

Out of that list it would probably have to be the Iron Hands. Close second to the Ultramarines.

Honourable mentions not on the list go to the Exorcists and Minotaurs.

Raven Guard. They basically get ninja shadowwalking skills, and the chapter as a whole puts a focus on efficiently achieving objectives while minimizing casualties.

I want to say Ultramarines, but I'm not big on rigid rules and chains of command. I'd get banished/executed in basic training.

Salamanders. They actually HAVE personal hobbies (even if it's only varieties of craftsmanship) so they don't have the absolutely monotonous existence of the Ultramarines. They are also about as close to righteous as you're going to find in 40k.
