Space marines, I like the bike and landspeedcer units. Lots of speed and
good support for almost any other kind of troup. For troopers I like are
the assault troops. Better speed than any other marine infantry and very
good assault value.

Orks, Sorry don't play them except a version of Epic GorkaMorka, so I like
the buggies ;)

Tyranids, The swarms react well as stereo types I've found. Genestealers
are vicious and effiective, but need something to cover their advances like
biovores. Sheer numbers are your ally as most of these troops can be mowed
down like chafe. A detachment dedicated to enemy suppression will be needed
to really have an effective army.

Hope this helps
