What is your favorite Unit?

In your opinion, among the many existing imperial units, which is the one that struck you most, the one you like most of all?

Since there are a lot of them, I'm still trying to get an idea, but for the moment I would say that I love the space marine unit LaserCannon, the sniper, and the space marine Gatling.

My favorites to use have been Tactical Marines in 6th and 7th and Intercessors in 8th, and they're pretty much my favorites in the background too. I've always run a pretty large complement of them, and I've never been disappointed. I've won games because opponents didn't bother to finish off Tactical combat squads after reducing them to single models. And Intercessors just do everything I used Tactical squads for, only better.

Oldschool dreadnoughts. Especially Ironclad Dreadnoughts, as i think their double melee profile with 2 full sized arms has the best aesthetic. The long grabby claw and over sized pointy chainsaw looks so good to me. Theme wise it is also dreads, as 'Even in death I serve.' is such an amazingly grim idea.

 

Close second are terminators, specifically Cataphractii, followed by Crusaders in full BT gear with chainswords roaring.

Mine is Intercessors and Infiltrators.

Yeah I love the Intecessors.

 

I got a guy where I can lay hands on 100 or so for less than $80 still on sprue. And I think about doing a "Primaris scale" World Eaters Jump army for 30k, the jump packs, bolt pistol and chainaxe arms would raise the price back to the realm of fiscally irresponsible.

I'm between dreads and Vindicators. I adore Redemptors and have adopted calling them nappy dreads from the TTT guys although they're in contest with Vindicators for me. Vinidcators are almost the tugboat of the space marine range, not sure why I think of it like that

Ironclad Dreadnoughts for the Firstborn, but with the new Primaris, I like Incursors. The ignores cover, and ignoring negative modifiers to hit is huge. I only wish they had a heavy/special weapon option, because Auspex Scan at full BS is great, especially when Tactical Doctrune is in.

Did you imagine yourself, smirking, in a white suit, on the bridge of a zeppelin, saying that? ;)

I loved the snippet in The Great work where Cawl recalls how Land hated the name.

 

"Land's Raider?! LAND'S RAIDER!!"

 

I love FW Contemptors, (hate the plastic one)

Tactical Squads for looks and Devastator squads for gameplay.
There is just something about a marine with a bolter that makes me enjoy looking at them a lot, also the idea of a marine squad with heavy weapons wreacking havoc on anything is just perfect for me :smile.:
