Which unit is most likely to die in your army?

Other than scouts, it's those bad ass assault marines.

If you're an assault marine in my army prepare to be jumped into combat in some distant part of the map and quickly forgotten about to slowly die a painful and needless death.

"Jump away!" the guardsmen cry, "We can't!" the assault marines reply somberly, "Some asshole is in control."

Or sometimes, a lot of the times actually, I jump them behind enemy lines totally unsupported with my only reasoning behind not supporting them is : "They can handle it." Of course I know this not to be true, but at the time I am hoping, that just maybe, this time will be different and they will wreck house! The only thing I've learned from these many occasions of losing my ASMs is that I don't need them to win the game and to not expect them to last long. Sorry ASMs, this drink is to you!

Also dreadnoughts. I don't always buy a dreadnought in tier two but when I do. . . I over extend it.

"Play recklessly my friends."

I then usually excuse myself of any blame by saying "Well I didn't know they had a brightlance back there!" or similarly "Well I didn't know they had autocannons and plague marines back there!" or even "Well I didn't know the FC was going to buy the powerfist!"

So what unit has the lowest life expectancy in your army?

My commander

I'm pretty sure this is true of every commander I play, even the tanky ones

He's not dead Vapor, he's just taking a nap. Not to worry, beating your enemies senseless can be tiring.

lol You don't need any of that just a teammate who is understanding, like an APO they love helping their allies out with any kind of medical care they might need.

My commander seems to spend an inglorious amount of time on his arse when I play with my slightly less practised factions. I'm ok at keeping my Sorceror motivated but my FC just gets blown away by my excellently executed Scout/dev build. Every game. For all of the game. Without fail, he falls over.

Battlewagon.

Firstly because it got nerfed and I haven't yet come to terms with that, and secondly because it is easier to overextend it and buy a new one rather than repair it from 5% hp. :?

Yeah I've never seen an ork vehicle last more than 5 minutes in a game. Every-time I see a BW come on to the field I'm like "Ha, what a noob!" Maybe this is because I only play TM or I'm just a cynical ass. :P

Clearly you haven't watched 2v2/3v3 casts of me playing mekboy and raping bases with wagons. ;)

Yeah, I don't think exploding gory death is put in job discription when they "volunteer".

Good thing heretics don't cost anything... maybe that's why. ;)
