My entire Word Bearer army.

My Baneblade and most likely my Spartan Assault Tank. Damn those pricey FW books.

Imperial Guard:
Hellhounds X2
Medusa
Scions (Kaskrin, Storm Troopers...)
Wind Vane Psykers

Black Templar Space Marines:
Terminators
Vanguard veterans.
Melta/Flamer skimmers
StormRaven
Land Raider
Land Raider Redeemer
Centurions
Stalker
Ironclad
Venerable Dreadnaught

Chaos Space Marines:
All of them, my biggest army.

Daemons:
I have about a squad of at least one of each daemon type and greater daemon.
From about 4th edition.

Inquisition / Grey Knights:
Daemonhost
Callidus Assassin
Castellan Crowe

Looks like chaos space marines win for most stuff not used with space marines a close second.

Oddly though, the BT army gets the most use.

Heh, yes.

Might add a 4th soon.

Ahh... 40k.

Anyways, I have few proper bench-riders. Whenever I haven't used something in awhile I'll eventually make an effort to try it out again.

Most of the stuff that's been out has been things that I can't use anymore, and I don't want to remodel, like my sergeant with a shotgun and my junior officer with a storm bolter. Things like that.

There's only one group of guard models I have that rode the pine the entirety of 6th ed, and that was my commissars. Now that they finally work with a regimental standard and priests (which I've always liked a lot better) offer fearless, it might be some time before the trenchcoats make an appearance in my army again. Well, except for my lord commissar, who's still pretty badass.

Otherwise, the only unit I've consistently struggled to bring back is my basilisk. The 5th ed changes to ruins and the 5th ed meta shift to multi-shot weapons, as well as 6th ed's worsening of the ruins problem and adding in hull points added to the general crapulance of large blast weapons has seen the basilisk spend a vast majority of its time on the shelf. Which is sad, because I actually liked it back in 4th ed. For awhile at least.

I suppose we're in a new world of barrage sniping, and 7th fixed the ruins problem, and the new guard codex single-handedly killed the competition, so the bassie might see some love in the future...

... maybe.

If only they would go back to the old way where you could save 25 points by not giving it the barrage special rule. 300 points for a squadron of three assault guns would be something I'd be interested in.

My KMB Mek.
Most of my Nobz (I use them as boyz Nobz sometimes)
My Tankbustas,
My Burnas
My Trukk

I've got two nearly finished Triarch Stalkers. I've tried them many times with different types of lists. Those are the games I lose the most, so they don't come out to play much anymore...
There's also a monolith that never pulls it's weight and over costed Triarch Praetotians that never see action.
I can't say my C 'tan shard never sees the table. He makes for a great objective in Emperor's Will.

My Thunder wolf cav have not played a single game since i bought them back in 5th. While the models and lore are very nice, their stats and killing potential is just right down horrible for their price.

May wanna dust them off i use them to great effect taking wounds, and god forbid they get into CC its on! (TH/SS).

I think bolter scouts are a fantastic unit (I haven't finished building them yet, so this is all theory ATM) in a Sentinels of Terra army. Full twin-linking at half range makes the bolter scouts more damaging than any other scout flavor.

I play IF tactics so already have a boost to bolters, I just can't justify them in my list, not survivable enough to use as a serious objective taker an the wrong load out for a suicide unit

I tend to use shotgun scouts (with a combi flamer) in a LS storm or Scout snipers although they are being used less frequently now as well.

For terminators:

15 shooting terminators - assault terminators get used some still!
20 assault marines with jump packs

Orks:

Stormboyz
Buggies
Looted wagons

My Stormblade ;-; I need the most awkward points to play it!

Any thing that is not an Annihilation Barge, Command Barge, Triarch Stalker, denomination of flying croissant, or a ghost ark.

Only models I dont like the look of. So none

Monolith and Doomsday Ark.

Several piles of Dark Angels tactical marines and Deathwing, although I try to get them into noncompetitive games whenever I can.

A. Single. Finecast. Grot-Orderly.

My GK magnetised LRC/R. Put it on the table twice, got toasted T1/T2 twice.....and now it sits forlornly looking at the stormraven on the table.

It has company, though, the GK terminators have a little bbq next to it.

Kroot shaper , who wants ot pay more points for each kroot , especially sine their function changed.

Also never fielded vespid , i blame the pathfinders

Just with the SS they are over 80 points, at which point they cost the same and are more fragile while packing a lesser punch than terminators.

Eldar: Howling Banshees
Space Marines: Terminators

Both suffer from costing more than they can kill and struggle to get into melee.

Never fielded a shaper. Have fielded vespid once. It was glorious. They blew up a land speeder and killed quite a few space marines. Always want to put them on the table but I just can't ever seem to be able to fit them in.

My FW XV9s love the models but 300pts+ for a unit that does the same job as a unit of Crisis Suits that are 100pts less isn't really worth it.

Um... all my DA vets (nearly 30...), my command squad, my PA wolf guard, assault marines, any tac squad past the second (I have 8 ), my 'Nids (no offense - I'm just not a fan anymore) and my regular CSM (PMs ftw!). I'm sure there's more stuff I haven't though of though

Put Shadowsun in squad, take her special shield drones, ???, enjoy your "mini deathstar".

On the topic at hand, I've had a horrible half finished conversion of a Void Dragon C`tan sitting on my desk shelf for at least 9 years, maybe more. I really don't know what grade school me was thinking when he thought that was a good idea. "oooh, GW has a bitz secion." is my best guess.

Mycetic spore
Doom of Malan'tai
Pyrovore
Tyrannofex - even with price reduction, just lacks the firepower for the points
2nd edition hive tyrants

Actually been messing around with army composed of just genestealers, lictors, mawlocs and trygon primes (6th ed rules). Hasn't won very much due to lack of shooting but its fun watching an opponent have to deploy almost everything before I do, and then having a large swarm of genestealers so close.

My biker captain (the only bike in my army), and the Master of the Forge. Neither get used in any way. Back in the end of 5th Ed, I used to play with BT, and found biker Marshal cool and awesome. Now the biker HQ's are meh to me.

Run him as a chapter master. Your "meh" biker hq just turned awesome. (Please tell me you gave him a shied?)

Currently my entire Tyranid army is shelved and if possible will be sold off once I find someone who wants them. My necrons are also shelved, but I plan on using them again soon.

Lictors. I have 9, the models are amazing. But the rules...

Illuminator Szeras and my monoliths.

I used Szeras in 4 games to try and get a 20 man warrior squad
to 5 toughness. 3 Times I got +1 STR and once +1 BS. Never got +1 Toughness. I was sad would have loved to see 20 Warriors w/ Toughness 5 and a lord leading w/ 3 Ghost Arcs following.

As for Monoliths - I'd rather a Doom Scythe every time and it isn't cheaper. Even 3 Anni Barges are cheaper and it is about equal to a Night Scythes w/ 5 Warriors and a cryptek w/ the 4 shot haywire staff. Making the main weapon ordinance on the Monolith was really a big nail in the coffin.

Sisters with Storm Bolters.
