the title says it all

Rules:
give your absolute favorite army in 40k and the reason why you like them so much such as the rules/backstory etc.

no picking on the orks (they are awesome)

keep it civil

GO.

[Draco Ny'ade]

Imperial guard, because they are like a crossbreed of the Red army (russian) and the Wehrmacht (German) from world war two

[Fallen Angels95]

The Space Marines or the Grey Knight army..

SM b/c of the amazing background and lore behind them and my uncle got me into them as well as the High Elves from Fantasy TT when I was younger

Grey Knights because #MattWard #FuckYeah

[JC 042]

Blood Angels with Red Thirst and Death Company

Although they ae less effective ever since Furious Charge stopped giving +1 Initiative. (I think, I stopped playing after I read through 6th Ed)

[palin2004]

Thousand Sons, gotta love sorcs rampaging over opposing armies.

[Authrix]

Farsight Enclaves. Review time I think...

Mine have to got to be ultrmarines ba but my favorite sm chapter has got to be the exorcists. An amazing lore of the chapter. There inatation is locking a man in side a room n getting possessed by a daemon for 24 hours. If they are unchanged, daemons cant see their souls so they are awesome for fighting daemons. They went 98 - 1 to on trials on a daemon world. Total kick ass sm chapter.

The army I enjoyed playing the most was my Might of The Imperium army (Apoc).

• 11 Leman Russ Standard
• 3 Leman Russ Demolisher
• 3 Leman Russ Vanquishers
• 1 Laser Tank Destroyer
• 1 Command Russ
• 6 Basilisks
• 6 Autocannon Sentinals
• 6 Lascannon Sentinals
• 3 Shadowswords
• 1 Valkyrie
• 200 Guardsmen
• Gaunts Ghosts
• Forgeworld Cadian Command Squad
• Inquisitor
• 24 Grey Knight Terminators
• 32 Grey Knights
• Shrike
• 3x Jump Chaplains
• 6x Assualt Marine Squads
• 4x Scout Squads w/ Snipers
• 50 Tactical Marines
• 3 Drop'Noughts

Worked out to be about 30000 points after upgrades. The Shadowswords are BS3, +1 for Targeter Upgrade, +1 for Formation = BS5 12" Templates of Strength D goodness.

Sadly I used to have hundreds of photos but the hard drive kinda exploded last year so lost all but the ones uploaded to Photobucket. Small blessings
[/spoiler]

Only got to play 1 match at my full complement because few people here in NZ could amass an army to fight me; I had been collecting before I left the UK, and continued to import when I moved to NZ whereas 40K is more niche here than the UK.

I had to sell that army to pay for food at Uni (Recession and all that) but I rebuilt the Raven Guard component as they remain my favourite faction in 40k.

• Shrike
• 20 Assault Marines
• 4 Scouts 2/ Snipers, 1 w/ Missile
• 15 Tactical Marines
• 5 Devastators - 2x Plasma, 2x Missile
• 1x Bubblecar
• 1x Bob The Drop'Nought
• 12x Fire Warriors
• 1x Cadre Fireblade
• 1x Hammerhead

The Tau are simply to get me a Hammerhead because lets face it, that tank is OP as hell in small games. Bob's Multimelta so far has accounted for a glorious amount of expensive tanks and a rather cocky Gazgul who blew him up then died in the fireball.

[ajar1189]

Necrons.

Who needs close combat anyways?

[MetalHead666X]

Death Guard. Tricky basterds are what they are.

[Lord Ariok]

well nurgle armies are the most funny i suppose

[ICE JARL (bjorn_ironskull)]

Space Wolves. I love the lore, and that wolf standard in a grey hunter pack is lethal. Not so keen on the rules surrounding bjorn fellhand's death, but the more I play the more I love them. Best opponents I've faced were orks (they won by killing bjon and I failed to reach him.) Dark angels (they just pounded me with a p cannon, and I just couldn't get rid of it) and white scars (I was just totally out classed.) Good games, all of them.
