Every codex has one, whether its IG Storm-troopers or SM Legion of the Damned.
So what do you think are the most overpriced units and why?

Personally, and Possessed annoy me. Possessed would be awesome if they were a little cheaper, and the models are great.
Lindargo,
(sorry i forgot to say my opinion earlier)

Stormtroopers: 16pts really? Shorter range, They still need a 5+ to wound almost anything. Only has 4+AS, I can take 10 of them or a Demolisher...let me think. I think if they were around 14 I'd take 'em.
Ogryn: 3 for the price of tank, and lower leadership? Nope!
HW Squads: I still love them, and take them every game, but 60pts base for 3 easy insta-kill models - they really should have been 50ptsDWs: Prussains. KoW: Elves WM: Khador WHFB: Dwarves WH40: IG, SM

Vanguard vets... by the time you take a decent sized unit and give them jump packs and anything useful (power weapons etc) they're pushing 400 to 500 points. So not worth it.
Cats and Dogs are better than kids because they eat less, don't ask for money and if they get pregnant you can sell their children.

I would agree with possessed but also I think Noise marines are expensive, especially after you give them anything decent (blastmasters/sonic blasters)

Maybe Terminators? I dunno. Maybe I just stink at using them.

For me it is not a unit - it is a weapon: The Blastmaster!
Even improoved it is horrible expensive. Think about Havos - Lascannons are very expensiv if bought for Havocs. The BM is 5 Pts. above and you can buy only one per squad. A Rhino is cheaper.
And Chaos again: Spawns. I loved theese the new plastik spawn. But a unit the runs headlong into a cybot or dies because it it fearless? For what price? Argh! Make them 20 and they´ll be fun.
I also agree with the possessed - much to much points for the random goodies. A shame for the lovely plastic kit.Peace through superior Firepower!
