Hi!
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to chapters. I still only use ultramarines and Imperial fists.
Heck I dont even like space wolves...although that may be due to there "cheddary" flavor in 40k second edition.

Hi!
I liked the fluff on how they follow the codex and on how they didn't have any "cheesy" special power or such like the other chapters.
I also like how they are the only space marine chapter with a mini-empire within the Imperium - Ultramar.

Hi!
Good point Markconz. The color schemes for some chapters are a little too "colorful".

When I started painting Epic miniatures, the Dark Angels still wore black.
So nobody was tempted to paint their marines as Rainbow Warrioirs, then? (Don't disappoint me and say you don't remember THAT lot.)

Sons of Janus - codex basis, with one quirk - a Dreadnought chapter master. I have a total of one rhino painted....

Yes its vulnerable to TK weapons, but compared to other 250 point warengines its alot tougher.
eg compared to a warhound titan.
The warhound has 3DC, 5+ reinforced armour and 2 void sheilds. Thats takes an average of 8.6 hits to kill in one go (w/o giving it a chance to repair shields)
The supa-stompa has 4DC, 4+ reinforced armour and D3 shields (average of 2). That takes an average of 18 hits to kill.
On top of that supa stompa has better fire power too. And with a mega chopper it is quite nasty in CC for its points cost.

Thats why it is supposed to be kinda rare. Athough I think that every Ork player that can get ahold of one, will have one. And I don't blame them. I'm just glad the Orky player in my group hasn't figured out how to build/proxy one yet.
my 2cents,

Primarch: I thought most of the SM chapters had a domain of sorts, i.e. a mini-empire, usually a planet they used to recruit from.
I knew someone with a rainbow warriors army. It was hideous, and I think he sold it to someone who used it for Slaanesh.
SM Chapter: Emperor's Tears, white with dark blue teardrop, a la blood angels, and orange and gold for trim. I currently have ~8K painted.

Hi!
Neal, all SM chapters have a planet they recuit from or a small solar system for the same purpose, but I only know of the Ultramarines having a whole "system" of space under their rule, not just one planet or solar system.

). Since I plan to have lots of stompas and only 1 supa-stompa, I guess i'll be selling lots of supa-stompas on ebay
