Apart from the heresy novel where Corax fights Lorgar (featured in 'The First Heretic')and proceeds to beat the shit out of him (needing Konrad Curze to save Lorgar) and the other stuff featuring the Raven Guard in 'Fulgrim', there is practically nothing about the Raven Guard yet. On the plus side however, they are bringing out 'Deliverance Lost' next January, which is a heresy novel focussed on the Raven Guard.MrDeckard said:
Pretty much this!Sumrex said:
Space wolves because they are pretty awesome!
Though I can't define my least favourite Blood angels and Ultramines.......just find them pretty boring!
Favorites; Grey Knights (They're kind of like the SAS of Space Marines), or...
Black Dragons. Seriously. How has no one mentioned the Black Dragons yet? They hide their specially augmented version of the Gene Seed to make their soldiers taller, stronger, tougher to kill, sprout horns, and grow SCYTHES FROM THEIR ARMS, which then get encased in Adamantium, and used in combat as melee weapons.
It astounds me that this chapter is so overlooked.

My favourite are the Blood Angels. Least favourite? Don't know, don't care, I'm not a Space Marine player anyway.
Favourite: Imperial Fists in all their yellow glory, Grey knights for their super pure chaos killing pureness, and Black Templars for their zealousness and ever continuing crusade.
Least Favourite: I don't especially dislike any chapter, but I like all of them to a lesser extent than those mentioned above.

O.O I've never heard of them, but now I love you so much.Scythax said:
OT: Not really a Mahreen player, or any Player, just read up on the Lore...and play DoW. Can't afford the armies >.<
Favorite: Iron Fists, because fuck yo Codex, we're gonna be like the Adeptus Mechanicus..and our Leaders hands may have been covered in Necron metally stuff...I like the C'tan....and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Who here can say 'Void Dragon in the Noctis Labyrinth'?
Least favorite: Ultramarines probably, they're over-rated, and their colour scheme is...eh...
Why'z you all talkin' 'bout dem space mahreens?! Just 'cause dey dead 'ard? We'z da orks! And you iz not!
On a serious note.
Favorite: Blood Angels.
Disliked: Grey Knights. Psycho chapter made presumably from the gene-seed of the Emperor himself. Waaay too overkill.

Favourite: Dark Angels. Half their legion went rogue (apparently) and they wiped most of them out and stayed loyal. Plus, their Primarch is still alive, deep inside The Rock, their moving fortress which is on the remains of their own planet. Which they obliterated when the others went rogue.
Least Favourite: Either Space Wolves or the Ultras...

Favorite- Space Wolves. They're genetically modified space vikings with power armor. What's not to love?
Least- Ultramarines. Too generic, no personality

Man, i hate cliches sooooooooooooooo much.

My favourites would have to be the Raptors (I first saw them as a suggested colour scheme in one of the older codexes and then later saw them make a return as the 'bad' Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior), no real reason really besides the fact that I thought they looked cool and they're the chapter I painted my army in (with the help of my Dad, really talented painter and hand made all the banners and standards for my army himself).
My least favourite chapter would probably have to the be Imperial Fists, I don't know why but the whole 'bright bananna yellow' thing just didn't really appeal to me (not to mention looking a bit silly when most of the settings and boards I fought on were often dark and grim looking places, 'they'd sort of stick out a bit' was what I always thought).
Actually, given the use of the word 'despise' how about Chaos?
Hit? Miss? Anything?

Based on the avatar I'm guessing you were always more of a Sisters of Battle person?Nikki Fallingstar said:

yeah blood for the blood god. it has to be. world eaters are just hilarious fun.
least favourite is either blood ravens or ultramines. blood ravens cos they were sooo blatently being set up in the earlier DoW expansions to turn traitor and be corrupted and then the script writers pussied out. so know they are just another colour scheme varient with slighlty more of a hard on for actually learning about chaos - without suffereing any of the approriate reprocussions that normally go along with doing so...
and do i really need to explain not liking ultramarines?
Favorite: White scars. Hit and run tactics are Boss on the game board.
Least: Dark angels. So what if half you chapter left. Stop crying and slitting your wrists. Also forgive the space wolfs.
