Deathwing Terminators

They look awesome and being able to field an army of the best of the best infantry in the game is what got me playing 40k 12 years ago. No matter how weak they are depending on the edition, I always try to work a squad or two into my list.

Intensely tough question! There are so many good choices.

Right now I'd say Kaballites, but Sternguard are a top choice as well. Assault Termies would also have to top my list. But if I only get one, it's going to have to go to the Inquisitorial Warband. So much diversity! So much opportunity for horror!

I love the noise marines fluff/artwork/and their painting theme. Absolutely beautiful models.
I love the Deathwing too. They are Badass.
Though due to my love for chaos models apart from unit specific, I find anything painted in the Night Lords theme lovely!

Killing is easy. Being politically correct is a pain in the ass...

Krieg! What a hole...

To hell with the no FW restriction.

Death Korps Grenadiers, first models I had, pretty at that, average rules, but I really like the idea of veteran guardsmen with guns that punch through Power Armor like its not even there. Always the ones to lead a Kriegsmen charge, not meant to survive but at least 20% does.

Carnifex. Never leave home without it.

"There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey."

The humble Imperial Guard Infantry Squad.
Line them up against a squad of anything else in the game and they're more than likely to end up on the bottom of the matchup, but it's clear which side has more intestinal fortitude. Guardsmen die standing.
Also, combined squads are cool...

Nihilistic Necron Lord




The best State-Texas

Wow, this is a tough question...

Uh, well.

I'd have to see I really like the Necron Overlord models. They have that elegance and poise attached to them, a long with a the fear they impose of going up against a 9 ft tall homicidal robot.

Most of the Necron range are pretty awesome.. aesthetically for me.

As for competitive choice, that always impresses, the humble annihilation barge. Nothing beats rolling 9 hits from a single volley, of a single weapon.


I know you said no Forgeworld, but I also really like the Nightshroud and Tesseract Ark. Both of them aesthetically, and the Tesseract Ark is pretty awesome competitively.

For me, there are two contenders for the 1st place:
- Noise Marines: rock/metal-playing drug-addicts with awesome paint scheme and bass cannons. What's not to like?
- Chaos Terminators: small, bipedal tanks with intimidating tusks and lots of very nasty weaponry.

I'll say Dominions. Five scouting meltas that ignore cover can do a lot of good. Their fluff is cool too.

Also, with this Escalation and Stronghold business starting up, they're more important than ever to help an SoB army succeed, it seems.

Lictors, no matter how hard GW nerf them in every codex, the models I will never not have a soft spot for. Plus the fluff about them is brilliant, brutal assassins that could be 2 meters away from you and you wouldn't even know they were there. Plus feeder tendrils, those things are just nasty

I've only got 1 army at the moment (Tau) so my functionality choice has to goto the Riptide but I decided to collect them because I like the way Fire Warriors look and wanted a whole mess of them. More specifically I'd have to go with Cadre Fireblade.

The next army I collect is going to be Tyranids (as soon as the new codex drops) because I think almost all their models look awesome.
