the title says it all.
i'll start. mine is Teclis, simply because he is the greatest mage on the game.
ho about you guys??

I think most people are probably biased towards their own armies- mine is Orion, since I have the model, and he's the king of the wood

Zhatan the Black. Gonna enslave me some green-skins and forge and empire for Hashut.

Besides, he's the best candidate for "Pimp My Ride", those tired out hobgoblins need a break from carrying his throne around all day.

Valten Exalted of Sigmar

Gorbad Ironclaw.

Best warboss of 'em all, plus he's got a sick model.

Always had a soft spot for Heinrich Kemmler the lichemaster after playing the Lichemaster adventure many moons ago, one of the longest established characters in the fluff before those emo Von Carsteins came along and stole the limelight from Necromancers and Liches

Archaon the everchosen, because there's just something a little bit awesome about the herald of the apocalypse.

Malekith probably, or Karl Franz. The Emperor likes to smashy things and Malekith likes to just not die. The Tyrion model is also really cool.

Grimnir.

One dwarf, one axe and a whole lot of dead chaos. Walked right up to the gates of chaos. Now that is one bad mother F'er.

Honorable mention Jack Burton. Oops wrong fantasy.

Skarsnik has an epic model. I love the Snotling with the Mushroom as a spear on the base.

My favs:

Aekold Helbrass - terrible old model, but as the Tizz champion it's really neat to see the mark he's left across the chaos mortals book, even if he didn't get new rules
Skarbrand - truly epic fluff, though far more functional in 40k than fantasy
Morghur - I'm deeply saddened that he's so very bad in the new book, because Morgy is so bizarre and has a pretty cool model going for him
Nakai - he's an even more uber kroxigor, what's not to love?
Braugh Slavelord - ogre character with some really cool in game mechanics, as he beats things up and slowly acquires a unit of undead around him!

- Salvage

Sigmar, especially in the new novels.

I think I liked Archaon until the Storm of Chaos. Then he seemed like a chump. And Malekith has spent the last 4000 years getting punked, so he's out.

Loved the old Morghur's fluff and I really like the idea of Grimnir fighting his way to the Chaos Gates and holding it against the hordes until the Elves managed to do their thing.

Gamewise, I like Tretch Craventail for exemplifying the skaven race.

I also love the idea of Kolek Suneater, and would one day like to make an army with him, dragon ogres, and marauders worshipping him as a god in his own right.

Fateweaver disagrees.


Mine would have to be Deathmaster Snikch. Such a great model(either version) and I love his fluff.

Morglum Necksnapper.

Unless you include Blood Bowl, then Grishnakh Goblinthrottler.

Teclis is pretty awesome, I'd go with him as well, he's a fantastic mage.

Ikit claw, 'cause he's basically a rat wearing power armour. With a gun. Plus his model is all kind of awesome.

Special mention goes to Chakax, for getting me out of more than one tight spot .

Grimgor Ironhide is pretty cool, exemplifies black orcs.

I like Khazak One Eye a lot too, in his various incarnations.
The Green Knight is an amazing model and a great concept.

Grey Seer Thaqual. and the all mighty Verminlord. i love skaven!

Marius Leitdorf, because he is absolutely chuffing bonkers.

"Renowned as the Mad Count of Averland, Marius Leitdorf has a reputation that has spread far and wide. Most know Leitdorf for his eccentricities, his bouts of screaming rage and his frequent periods of deep depression. Equally well known are the tales of his mercurial behaviour in court, the fact that he relies closely on the advice of his favourite warhorse (Daisy Kurt Von Helboring II, or Daisy for short) as much as any of his captains or court advisors, his insistence on regular and lengthy baths in buttermilk and rosemary and his incessant mockery of any at court who he considers 'roly-poly'. In fact, his behaviour has been perceived as so outrageous that none of the other Electors welcome him in their courts and in Altdorf only the Grand Theogonist extends him invitation to anything but the most essential councils. Part of the animosity directed towards Leitdorf might stem from his long-standing rivalry with Kurt Helborg, who according to the Mad Count has a poor moustache, worse dental hygiene and a sense of humour to rival a Troll. Those who are willing to engage in speculation, suggest the animosity Helborg feels towards the Count stems more from a particularly florid tale Leitdorf once recounted concerning Helborg's sister, a churn of butter and a lot of Elven wine. Kristal Helborg has since sworn an oath as a Sister of Sigmar and Kurt has never forgiven Leitdorf his impropriety.

All these stories and more, however, do Leitdorf a gross disservice for while he is clearly 'unconventional' in his manners and flamboyant in his clothing (with a predilection towards bright silks, fashionable clothing and tall, fluffy feathers), he has a sharp and incisive mind. Indeed, he is a studied swordsman, an accomplished poet, an architect of no small skill and an engineer and inventor of some standing. In fact, until the unfortunate incident of Marius's Marvelous Pneumatic Britches, he was an Honorary Fellow of the Imperial School of Engineers.

None of this, thankfully, stands in the way of the fact that Marius Leitdorf can, and does, lead an army with considerable flair and skill. In fact, a number of great Imperial victories in recent years are owed to his courage and insight and this fact alone has protected him from the sternest censures of the Imperial court."

From the GW website

Hm, this is a hard decision, but i think my favorites are
- The Green Knight. He can teleport between woods, how cool isn't that!?
- Valkia the Bloody. Because... Well, just because. Would like her more if she had a model though
- Moonclaw. Just the look on peoples faces when I throw warpstone meteors on them

My first favorite though was Ungrim Ironfist, because i liked the model by some reason.

Volkmar the Grim. Got killed, chained to a Daemonic Standard, broke free, throttled some Daemons with the Grand Theogomist.

Egrimm van Horstmann, who doesn't like a two headed dragon?

And Nagash. *ducks*

Yeah, him and pretty much everything in the Wood Elf book.

Garagrim Ironfist "trousers!? I dont need no stinking trousers"
A prince who goes to war naked with dyed orange hair to die in order to free his Pa from a curse? Thats badass

yeah I know that, but if the Treehuggers want to teleport, they need Drycha.
Those two guys are the only reasons i would play Bret/WE.

He also has a cool model, except fot that ogre thong he is wearing. An ogre is the last model that should be in a thong <shudder>

My past favorite special character is Gruarth the Beastmaster. I love the rules and that he runs with two big cats.

My current favorite is Alith Anar. He is not uber powered, and I am almost finished with the book "Shadow King" and I am really liking the story that Gav wrote for Alith.

Genevieve Dieudonne.


In the game?
Prolly old Heinrich Kemmler, I remember well using curse of years on a slann mage priest plus maxxed out unit of temple guard and murdering the entire lot, could almost hear the crazy old tramp laughing from down on the table. As has been said before, back when Necromancers kicked serious ass.

Lord Kroak... Something about a mummified canetoad that is used as a WMD by the lizardmen seems funny.

Ikit Klaw, because he's just one step away from becoming Warhammer's Dr. Doom.

Deathmaster Snikch: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!

Scyla, Spawn of Khorne.

Had a total blast with this "character" waaaaaaay back in 5th edition, when Chaos was a boxed set that included Chaos Gift cards that you could play on various models in your army.

Loved the old model more than the new...in fact, his claw lives on attached to my flyin' Champ/Wiz o' Tzeentch!
