A Leman Russ Executioner and a Leman Russ Punisher back in 6th were surprisingly good in my meta. They became the backbone of my killing power, and could actually make use of the hull mounted weapons and sponsons.

Aspect warriors. 15 years ago I had only Banshees, now that I started 40k again I painted Scorpions, Dark Reapers, Fire Dragons, Swooping Hawks and Shining Spears and it adds a lot of flavor to the games.

I still have to learn how to synchronize them all on the table but it's lot of fun.

My best purchase? 3 Crimson Hunters to my Eldar army, they have been the most enjoyable unit to use in the codex and require much more finesse to use than Windriders, Spiders or Wraithknights... They may not be as competitive as those units, but I've never had as much fun with them.

Actually I'm half considering purchasing 4 Nightwings to use alongside them for the new supplement coming out since I'm such a fan

My best purchase?

Devastator Centurions for my Ultramarines. So much grav Dakka!

Exactly that, will be interesting to see how these new roles affect these flyers for sure...

Heavy flamers on my Leman russes. You'll be surprised how satisfying burning all those pesky deepstriking/outlfanking/out of position troops is. Melted a tau fire warrior squad and a breacher team at the same time in my last game while roaring "BURN FILTHY XENOS!".

An imperial knight, so I could finally bring out war convocation. I had everything else but the knight.

A dead ork for Farsight to stand on looking totally bitchin'

The new Necrons codex. It took all the flavor away from the old Necrons codex, but now I have an undefeated army!

Bike Sorcerers for my spawn.
S9 T9 ap2 on a bike when lady luck smiles at me.
That or sonic dreads

Drop pods^^
Or maybe my veterans (vv and sternguards).

My scratch built VSG. And my carry cases!

SoB: a 3rd Exorcist and St. Celestine
Dark Angels: enough Razors and Pods to run Lion's Blade
IG: Aegis Defense Line and a Wyvern
Grey Knights: The baby carrier of doom
Tyranids: 2 Flying Tyrants with TL Devourers, closely followed by 2 Malanthropes...

FW Skathach Wraithknight - it's more balanced than the standard model and has really fun options without relying on the almighty D.

30k

2 tac squads and a captain for my sm. Now I can put something on the table. Yay.

Grav Centurions for me. Its basically an auto include at this point.

A full squadron of Eldar War Walkers. Nobody ever bother to shoot at them because they believe that they are a weak unit.

Boom. 6 Heavy Weapons that nobody is trying to kill.

Probably my leviathan dreadnought surprisingly. I got him at the very end of a Heralds of Ruin kill team campaign, and decided that he would be the terminator who'd survived the entire campaign despite the INSANE amount of firepower sent after him every match. So now Daro the Undying rides a lucius pattern drop pod into battle with my Blood Angels and proceeds to mulch anyone dumb enough to not run, flat out, and turbo boost away from him on the turn before he can charge. So far he's racked up about 3k points in kills and he's only died once.

Good question.
Probably more bikes for my Orks or a Wraithknight (I know I know ) for Eldar.

Probably drop pods for my Ultras.

Maybe Sternguard.

Both of them together are very nice.

A really big daemon prince back in 5th ed. He was really tough, but attracted all the firepower from the enemy, which allowed my berserkers to get into combat without being shot at.
Now I always try and include a tough fire magnet!

Back in 4th I added a whirlwind to my space marines and it was insane. I dropped the castellan mine templates on my marines, forcing anyone who wanted an objective to charge through str 4 hits and then to do close combat in it. Sometimes I'd drop the template on the enemy and then charged them with the marines. Every turn both sides would consolidate and since the mines went of every close combat you had a gamble to inflict far more wounds on either side. The marines however have atsknf so losing a combat ment nothing and the more their numbers dwindled the higher chance the enemy would take more hits and lose the next combat. Either that or you forced a pinning test on -1 leadership. with a 1/6 chance to fail if the enemy had ld 10 you could always count on pinning one enemy unit every game, and do far more on low ld units. The look on opponents faces when you pinned some 200p of necron Imortals with ld 10 was great every game. I loved my whirlwind to death.
