I like the green ones with hoods. Space Assassin's Creed!

I played lotr and Fantasy, never 40K. Though I did try merging 40K and Fantasy once and had an Ogre Pirate blow up a tank.

im only familiar with the ultras, yeah.. pretty basic stuff.
I never really bothered learning about the other chapters.

They may be the begginer's army, but i like their flexibility and high armor.. so i can always have something nasty in store for any opponent i face (mostly in the form of drop pods full of pain).

Blood Angel at heart. While I am not a huge fan of the color scheme, their flaws and the Primarch Sanguinius appeal to me to a great degree. As for my least favored: Dark Angels. From an IC perspective; Any Astartes that would love me and my brothers to die is no brother of mine.

That said, I've kind of grown to like, or at least admire, the Ultramarines and the Space Wolves. Mostly due to the new SM game coming out for the Ultras, and the viking/wolf connection for the Wolves.

First I have to say that the crazy fanatical legions of man will fall before the might of the Greater Good.

But OT I've always had a soft spot for the Dark Angels, I guess I just really like the paint scheme.

Blood Ravens. What can I say? The Space Gypsies just speak to me.

Aside from that, I'd say Deathwatch. Technically an inquisition branch, I know, but fack that. They're space marines, and that's all that counts.

That'll be the Dark Angels veterans. They are slightly more covert than the other chapters, though the way they carry themselves they're more Templar-ish, while the Lord Cypher is the Grandmaster Assassin in the picture! =P

My favorite loyal chapter is the Salamanders. Gotta love Space Marines who have a damn near fetish for fire based weapons, care about the people of the Imperuim and can actually take care of their own armor and not bugging the Techmarine to fix it. Also love the Chapter's Primarch as well, fighting off Dark Eldar raiding teams as a "child" with a pair of blacksmith hammers. :D

My least favorite loyal chapter is the Space Wolves, Leman Russ' mangy mutts can F-off for all I care. To me they just come across as a band of drunk dicks and I'm not even going to get started about their (to me) insanely hypocrital nature with the Thousand Sons back during the Great Crusade.

My top three favorite Chaos Legions are the Emperor's Children, Iron Warriors and the Night Lords.

What's not to love about Slaanesh loving madmen armed with Sonic weapons and always craving that next wonderful high when taking a life in battle?

The Iron Warriors I like for the their stance on long range combat with artillery and tanks while smashing the fuck out of a fortress and trolling the Imperial Fists whenever they get the chance.

The Night Lords are something like loners (like me) and really haven't thrown their lot into Chaos for the most part. I like their use of stealth (not just rushing into fire like most chapters do), their love of causing fear in their targets to the point that many die from sheer fright and their primarch who was pretty much the goddamn Batman of the 40K verse but even more brutal then he could ever be. :D

Psht, easy. GREY. MOTHERTRUCKING. KNIGHTS
I'd post a picture of their sheer manly sexy appeal, but I don't know how to do that, so just google them.

Most hated? Ultramarines, easily. They are far too spoiled by GW and their fluff is ridiculous...Marneus calgar blocking an Avatar's blade with his fist...*GRRR*

Crimson Fists, the original and best.

Most hated? None really, I pretty much ignore all the fluff written since about 1994 or so. As far as I'm concerned none of the bullshit...no, wait, Space Wolves, they were the ones that introduced named characters to the game and all the rest of the bullshit, well, maybe arguably Deathwing introduced the "X in space" crap but that was just unimaginative writing, the Space Wolves cemented it as a full on fluff concept.

Catachans.

Yeah, I know nothing about Warhammer, except that I think Catachans, Tyranids, and Tau are cool.

I'm curious how The Imperium is still beset on every side by foes when 90% of the 41st millennium's population appear to be loyal to the Emperor.

Imperial Guard, Sisters of Battle, Witch Hunters, Demon Hunters, Grey Knights, Inquisitors, The Deathwatch, The Assassin Cults... And of course, the innumerable legions of faceless fascist theocrats with the best armour, weapons, training and tactics; faster than Eldar, tougher than Orks, they have extra hearts and can spit fucking acid. One single Chapter of them has more backstory and unit options than entire armies of other species. They came in a dozen different flavours while other armies didn't have models for basic Troop choices.

So. Uh. I guess my least favourite Chapter is all of them. Space Marines' greatest threat is their rebellious younger brothers listening to heavy metal in the basement.

Don't know much about alot of these legions, being a fairly new fluff fan, but since reading "the first heretic" (my first black library novel) I've become rather fond of the word bearers.

Eldar are the best race. Everyone knows it, really. But out of your crappy Imperium dudes, Salamders and Blood Angels are probably my favourites. But still, Eldar. Biel-Tan will fuck you up.

Oh, and everyone hates Ultramarines.

I'm a Tau player myself but I do like the look of the Raven Guard, reminds me of the Templars from the crusades

I hate to be generic but i have to go with the Ultramarines, i love their Colors and their history. Least favorite chapter? Howling Griffons, they look like a pack of court jesters!

Never been a fan of the Ultramarines, so vanilla to me.
Yeah, the movie, as good as it was, made them look so much more badass than they actually are.

As for me, Space Wolves all the way. For Russ and the Allfather!

I'm also kind of in the design stages of my own chapter called the Accalian Legion. Like the Space Wolves, only replace the savage viking aspect with orderly rank-and-file Roman aesthetics.

Least favourite? Toss up between the emo Dark Angels and transhumanist Iron Hands.

Most favourite? Again a toss up between the Byronic/Romantic era Blood Angels and Roman Ultramarines

[sub]Yes I like the smurfs, gonna go get my flame shield....[/sub]
I almost lost all respect for you, mate! (Blood Angels aside.) =P
