Evening all.
This is a thread I like to run every once in a while, so some of you may well be familiar with it. For those not, it's pretty straight forward.
Simply pick a unit classification, and give us what you think is the best in-game example and of course the all important why.
As ever, I'll kick off with an example or two. Possibly three. Oh, and feel free to come up with your own sub-classifications - so for instance, Infantry currently covers every thing from a weedy Grot to a Broadside Battlesuit...
My vote for....
Monstrous Creature?
Easy this one - Ghostkeel Battlesuit by a country mile. The kit is glorious. It's guns are ace, and if played with some cunning takes a lot of putting down - arguably more than is actually worth it. Unt? UNT? They come in units of up to three. Absolutely fantastic unit - if not the cheapest points wise.
Infantry?
Space Marine Sternguard Veterans. To appropriate a quote from Scunner Campbell - is there nothing that they cannae do? Excellent baseline firepower, lots of upgrade options to make them even more dakkalicious. Just.....glorious. These to me are how all Marines of all stripes should be and like the Ghostkeels, a truly luvverly kit.
Tank?
Your bog standard Leman Russ. Can come in a squadron, has decent flexibility, and it's just such an iconically Imperial affair. Massively overgunned for its class, well armoured, and less subtle than a barbed-wire wrapped brick to the face. I'm no Astra Militarum player, so perhaps one of its many variants is superior on the board, but regardless of turret armament, they're all priority targets when I'm facing them!
