I only started playing last month. So far I have only a Space Marine Tactical squad and a Commander. But I'm hoping to go to a hobby store this weekend and get something new.

I have 2 Defilers(the best chaos tank/vehicle), Abadon the Dispoler, the Khorne demon Lord, the Serpent thingy demon Lord, the green fat Jaba-The-Hut demon lord, 3 raptor squads, 3 motercycle squads, alot of normal chaos squads, some are demonic(arms and things), 5 Khorne demon squads, a couple of my chaos squads are upgraded with flamethrowers and such, a few squads have comanders(more powerful units, you can have one to each squad for none WH players), and I think that's it. Oh and 2 tanks, and 2 chaos versions of the vehicle that DS has in his avy. I can't remember the names AT ALL.
I play alot at my local store, win alot, except against the store owner, who has an insane Necron army, and whipes me out almsot every time. I've beaten him twice, and both tiems were REALLLLLY lucky. My Defilers just kind of wrecked him. But every other time he kills me.

The only thing I can think of would be Tyranids.
My squad has one dude upgraded with a flammer, and another with a missle launcher. One sargeant, no grenades and purity seals.
My commander is armed with a combi-melta and a lightning claw. He also has purity seals, artificer armor, and a golden halo.

THANK YOU. You are the best.
Me loves Abadon. He is so awsome. His sword is preatty powerfull, plus the lightning claw is helpfull too.
I'd love to play against you, but like, you know, we don't live in the same country.

And Abbadon has to be THE most powerful commander in the entire game.
I think that after I get the hang of the game and finish my Space Marines army, I'll go Chaos. They seem to have lots of powerfull units and such a huge variety of them they can deal with lots of situations.

They are more advanced, yes. Especially when you add demons, which you will becasue they rock, that's when it gets difficult.

Thank you. I haven't touched my Warhammer dudes since like the summer. Ya I got a few Emperor's Children squads. The Chaos Lord looks awsome. It's like a knight with a lance, riding a serpent. And Nurgle, is fat as hell. I hardly use the Death guard, but I always mix my Khorne, Emperor's Children, and the normal, black squads. Looks cooler.
I have an ok sized Demon army that I use with 40k and normal warhammer, and I got a small vampire counts and a small egyptian mummy army.

In the rule book, a SM has a WS and BS of 4, while a 'Nid has BS and WS of 3. I always thought that when you roll the di, you roll for anything higher than # for a hit. But the rulebook says that the SM is better because it has WS of 4 instead of 3. So does this mean that you actually have to roll for anything lower than # to get a hit?

I have 3 tau squads, 1 with Aun'Shi, 2 stealth squads, 3 broadside battlesuits, 6 standard suits, 18 gun drones, and 1 railgun tank ( I haven't played in years so I cant remember the name). Also, I have 2 squads of kroot, 1 krootox and 6 hounds.

you couldnt make that much more confusing
WS 4 hits WS 3 on 3+
WS 3 hits WS 4 on 4+
BS 4 hits on 3+
BS 3 hits on 4+

lost 15-12 to Space Marine
my luck was horrific, i snook up on his Whirlwind and blew it apart with a Lehman Russ on for its turret to land on me and blow up my tank D:
and beat Eldar 11-10
amazingly close match, alll 76 of the men in my army died but tanks were practically unharmed, must of killed around 10 of my own men (including my commander!) with the Hellhound's Inferno Cannon :P The most was with his Caledius Assassin, which had Lehman Rus Demoshlisher trying to kill. First Demolisher shell missed, landed on his viper destroying and sending the flaming wreck 22 inhes across the battlefield XD I then had another Demolisher shell and Multimelta shot missthe assassin and land on my own men, murdering them XD
Hurrah for World War I tactics! XDD

And I think it's spelled Leman Russ, or something like that.

They are called Leman Russ (named after the Space Wolf Primarch I think) Battle Tanks/Vindicators/Demolishers/Vanquishers/Conquerors/Exterminators/Annihilators and maybe a few more but that's off the top of my head.
Finally I do have an army mostly unpainted and stored away somewhere but it includes a Chaos Lord, Chaos Sorceror, 5 Chaos Terminators, 5 Plague Marines, 12 Khornate Berserkers, 15 Chaos Space Marines (1 plasma gun, 1 Heavy Bolter, 1 Missile Launcher, 1 Autocannon, 1 Flamer, 1 Lascannon, 1 Aspiring Champion with Power Claw and the rest armed with bolters), 3 Nurgling Bases, 3 Chaos Bikers, a Chaos Dreadnaught, Chaos Predator, Chaos Land Raider and 2 Chaos Rhinos. Not played in a long time but I'm thinking of actively trying again but either concentrating on a Tzeentch army of chaos or moving onto witchhunters with all their pyromania.

you do realise that an Imperial Guard Basilisk has an Earthshaker cannon which is Range=120"(Direct)/36-240"(Indirect), S=9, AP=3, Ordance Blast 1

had a pretty close game against Eldar today, was pretty even until mt last turn where i wiped out his Fire Dragons with the Hellhound's Inferno Cannon, wiped out his something (they were black with Krak missile launchers) with a Lehman Russ, wiped out the remnants of his guardians with lasgun fire and utterly totalled his dreadnought with a demolisher cannon (i mean ****ing totalled, i rolled to 6 on three seperate damage tables XD), giving me a nice 8 victory points, leaving him with an assassin and the eldar avatar, which killed 3 guardsmen, handing me a 15-7 victory ^____^

I just got a dedicated Rhino APC. It's almost finished. I put the side doors down though, and I know that it's going to be a problem when I have to move it through some tight spaces :/

The blue guys are mine. The chaos guys (red) were asembled by my youngest brother, and painted by me. I know they arent the best, but my painting has vastly improved since I made these guys. Also, sorry about the picture quality, I took these with my phone.
