OK which unit would you hate more if it was put on the table and why.
255 points: 6 CSM terminators 1 chainfist, 3 twin lightning claws, combi-melta, reaper autocannon.
250 points scoring unit: 10 Khorne beserkers w/ champion powerfist.

I thinhk it would depend on what I'm fielding in order to make that choice, though a powerful, all-purpose scoring unit is always something to draw concern.

Berzerkers have become the bane of my existence with orks recently, so I'd have to go with them. The CSM have some nastiness (the lightnin claws), but they seem like they could be handled.
Zerks are bitches. I hate them. They really damage my army.

i love the zerks, but I would buy them a rhino with EA. I have used those to deadly effect.
Its great to see people scared of a rhino and shift there hole line away from it.

Tough Call..
I kinda agree with Derling, Termies are more tactically flexible.. but Krom and his boys kill stuff good in every game I play.. I guess on game results so far for me, I'd go with Bezerkers, as they are troops they also claim, where Termies can only contest.. plus they kill many guys.. I have yet to have a game where they did nothing, Termies I cannot say the same..

I would drop the reaper from the termies and upgrade them all to champions giving them +1 attack that brings em to about 300 but damn are they nasty at that point.
Also you really dont need all those lightning claws. I've found you only need 1 guy with twin lightning claws if they are all champions.
If it were me, i'd do icon of glory, 1 guy with twin lightning claws, 2 chainfists, 1 powerfist, one heavy flamer and 2 combi-meltas. That will ruin someones day when it deepstrikes.

no kidding! One of the first Games I played with Dale, when he rose again like a gaming pheonix, was my orks fighting his beserker army. Tough terrible fight! I learned two things in that game
1. Don't charge any number of beserkers with Kommandoes ever, even if it means getting charged yourself on the following turn.
2. Even 10 nobz and warboss can find themselves in a life or death struggle when engaged with a Chaos lord and 15 beserkers.
That was a great game that ended in a draw or a win....I think it had something to do with my battle wagon sneaking in last second and popping a defiler with a wrecka ball. Just makes me more excited for the weekend. I haven't seen Pen Dull or Dale in quite some time.
