Community Voting Challenge - Favorite 1st Founding Loyalist Legion

[eagleboy7259]

Raven Guard WIN!!! And here's some Poe:

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

NINJA RULES ENACTED, you get one +1 vote and two -1 votes. The -1 votes may not be for the same legions so there is no -2 votes allowed. You don't have to use both votes, but you really should. Oh and trash talk is still advised =D

I figured it would be fun to see everybody's favorite legion in a not so bland post or vote. Instead I figured let's do it as a voting challenge. Everyone get's a chance to voice their opinion, talk a little smack, and hopefully have a good time.

Basically we start with a list:

Blood Angels (9)
Dark Angels (9)
Imperial Fists (9)
Iron Hands (9)
Raven Guard (9)
Salamanders (9)
Space Wolves (9)
Ultramarines (9)
White Scars (9)

You then copy & paste the list into your post and give a +1 to one Legion and a -1 to another (you must do both!). Then make sure you wrap it up in quote tags so its easier to spot.

When a Legion reaches 0, they are eliminated.

You may only make one posting vote until a Legion is eliminated, then you may vote again (doesn't need to be the same vote).


I'll start it off so you can see how it goes:

Blood Angels (9)
Dark Angels (10) +1
Imperial Fists (9)
Iron Hands (9)
Raven Guard (9)
Salamanders (8) -1
Space Wolves (9)
Ultramarines (9)
White Scars (9)

As you can see the number in the parenthesis is the new number for the legion and the number next to it indicates how you voted. If it gets rolling real good I'll check for errors and keep the numbers on track.

Ultramarines- they might not have saved the Emperor but they did save the Imperium, plus they're misunderstood some people even complaining that it took so long for them to get to Terra when they don't make the same criticism about the SPace Wolves/Dark Angels despite those Legions being much, much slower in transit considering the distance they travelled.

Space Wolves- ignorant, barbaric savages that have no concept of diplomacy or honour beyond their own twisted, malleable version of the term.

Blood Angels- Sorry, I still can't get over the silly "tragic space vampire prettyboy" image I have of them. Plus, have you read the new codex? Fluff nightmare. BA teaming up with necrons to fight an invading tyranid fleet? Redonkulous.

Imperial Fists- Because it takes a man's man to go to war dressed in yellow. I miss the days when they got -1 to cover saves...

Salamanders: Cool story behind them and I got to paint my friends up to look real'cool

BA: Meh, maybe anything vampire has lost respect after twilight came out... am i the only one who never heard of that series before the movie? O, and they jsut seem a little boring to me, don't know why, but they just do.

Yeah i'm totally going to have to bump the BA down another notch, sadly while i'm not big on the Wolves either i've in general enjoyed some of the Black Library's work with them over the BA. i like the wolves models even less, and game wise like the BA but fluff wise, gotta say goodbye.

The RG shouldn't be a surprise considering my sig. but in general i really like the commitment they had and the heresy fallout they had with the fists and all. They defend the little people and are a bit rebellious. They get bonus points for that....NEXT!

Dark angels , only reason to rebel is that they didnt get to go play.
Ravenguard, forlorn last hope, trying to build back up from the brink of extinction.
I almost picked spacedogs for the minus, since second ed. I have gone out of my way to crush those who play such a lame army.

Never liked the idea of Space Mongolians.... although they would be good at tearing down any "City Walls" they had to fight against....
