If you lived in the 40k universe, what would you like to be (Within reason, as we can't have 30-something Abbaddons, we just don't need that amount of fail ).

I would be a chaos scorcerer, working for chaos undivided in the black legion. The reason being that psykers are some of the coolest things in 40k (IMO), and I like the idea of being able to troll people with magical powers etc

I would be a Khorne Terminator Lord working for the Red Cosairs. Being able to plunder in the name of bloodshed and power would be cool.

What I would like to be is a commissar just for the leather jackets

What I would be however is dead.

A farmer who lives on an Agri World in Segmentum Solar very close to Terra where I am by and large safe. Barring that, a storm trooper, I get to remain a normal human while still being an extremely competent soldier.

Edit: Actually I would probably make a good commissar.

All you need is to be able to shout and use somebody as a human shield/pincushion

Salamander veteran. Humanity, firepower, awwwyeah

A farmer in the ass-end of nowhere.

Ahh, what fun your life would be by the time I get there hehehe

A ganger in one of the hive worlds, underhive scum. And i would like to work my way up to being a rogue trader dealing in exotic pilfered goods and being able to mix with the empire and xeno without getting shot at first...dangerous but lots of travel and lots of experiance of the universe.

failing that, i would follow fabius bile around and be a groupy

Cryogenicly frozen aboard a starship from the dark age of technology burning at full acceleration away from the galaxy (and in the opposite direction to the nids)

Catachan, born and raised!

Well, I would be a Librarian of a loyal chapter.

A Dark Eldar Mandrake. Without a doubt.

Ork Warboss on a Warbike, for obvious reasons.

WAAAGH!

Realisticly speaking id be an average nobody slaving away in the great imperial machine till I die. Kinda like life as it is. Minus the imperial machine.

However if I could pick whatever id like... I'd like to be a Necron Overlord.
As to why... well.. Immortal and pretty much indestructable. And even if my body is destroyed I can transfer my consciousness to a backup. Hell yeah. Though preferably with my sanity intact.

My first choice would have been a Tau battlesuit pilot. ( its a battlesuit. nuff said ) But Tau only live an average of 40 years. So yeah.. Immortal super robot overlord it is. Besides im sure necrons could build a battlesuit of their own. Heck with mind transfer interface you could BE the battlesuit. but I digress.

An Orlock gang leader in the Underhive of Necromunda. Spend my days kicking in teeth and shooting rival gangers with twin customized Bolt Pistols, and my nights drinking Wild Snake, or Second Best, depending on how much cred I made that day, and smoking lho sticks.

Nothing. There is no right answer to this, unlike Star Wars, Star Trek, or even Dune, as far as Sci-Fi settings go, 40k is just about the worst possible as far as 'Would you want to live here?' goes.

Planetary Governor. A competant one too.

Hmmmm. Well I'm a heavy duty mechanic in real life, so probably a tau earth caste, or working for the adeptus mechanicus!

A fat space wolf tank driver with a large beard big enough to sleep in and a pet cow!

The leader of a moderately large Chaos Astartes warband.

No corruption, no devotion to the unholy gods, just me, some faithful marines, one name Xarl, because that's just a f*cking awesome name, a good ship, and lots of raiding.

Preferably a splinter group of the original Legions, not like those cowardly thin-blood mongrels who flock to the banners of the Blood Reaver.

Combines the two best things ever conceived by human kind: honest piracy, and Space Marines.

Part of the Adeptus Mechanicus, working towards being a Tech Priest.

Barring that, an Inquisitor.

Definitely would want to be an inquisitor. Failing that, a storm trooper in an inquisitor's retinue. Bad assery at it's best.

To be honest, when I first read your post, I thought you wrote "shooting rival gingers" and was wondering why there was a readheaded turf war.

A pornagrapher... but a grimdark one...

I would like to be a marine (Raptor or Raven Guard) drop podding down onto a battlefield.....or part of a scavenger gang boarding a genestealer infested space hulk desperatly searching for supplies....but would probably be bog standard guardsmen used as cannon fodder

Want to be?

The Governor of a Pleasure World.

I think I win.


However, since I was a real life Marine, I guess I'd end up as a Veteran Sergeant in some chapter being groomed for eventual captaincy.

Only if you don't mind being fragged. You need to know when someone has to die in order to preserve the formation, and when they are doing well enough on their own. You also have to be able to notice signs of corruption and possible treason and be tough enough to earn the respect of less civilized regiments should you be placed in one of them. It is like being an IG officer on hard mode because your soldiers will shoot you in the back for doing your job.

Yeeeeaaaasss?

An Ad Mech biologist or something like that where I can use my brains, go out into the field every now and then but can stay nice and safe if I want to. Plus as little or as much pressure as you want.

If I was a marine it'd have to be a scout squad sergeant. I like to teach and train others and love the sneaky sneaky slit your throat styles.

Would carry a stalker pattern silenced bolt pistol, a power blade and a shotgun for when things get loud.

Alternately, a Ordo Xenos inquisitor of the radical bent, working to learn from the alien tech to get a competitive advantage against the imperiums biggest threats, the Tyranids an Necrons.

I'd be carrying an exitus pistol, plasma pistol, iron halo, and shock maul.

Space Wolf, i'm gonna die sure but at least i get to drink alot and chase sheild maidens first.

Warlord Titan Princeps, the power of a god at my fingertips and when I die I will go out in a massive super atomic plasma fireball.

I'd just be a farmer on a agri-world. Living my days in relative peace praising the Emperor. And feeding the Imperial Guard.

Metal_days wrote:Ork Warboss on a Warbike, for obvious reasons.

I second this.

Ork Warboss on Warbike!

Anything with a Jump Pack, preferably Sanguinary Guard with an overly large axe.

Failing that a Termie GK with a Warding Stave and Incinerator. Burn those Daemons!!

Hidden.

I would be a Human Tau auxillery to stick it to the Imperial Luddites- preferably with a pulse rifle as it's no fun going up against Astartes with a lasgun.

I want to be a Black Templar Chaplain with a Power Fist. Beating 7 colours of out of you in a suicidal assault to this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6bTGzXREzQ&feature=BFa&list=LLYMtVcY-V4OcgZNdC182naQ

Specifically 1:28 onwards

Hmm. I'm torn.

Possibly a Daemonette. Good looks, cuddles, good food, and immortality.

A Battle Sister, just for those CUTE little bob haircuts.

Anyway...As for candidates of my own gender...(Yes, I am male)...

A Chaos Lord. A large army and host of attendents, baroque brazen armour, a great big weapon, and provided I do well enough, immortality.

Or possibly a Hive Tyrant, even though they are technically genderless. Total, utter, foolproof immortaility, big enough to crush a pansy Marine under my glistening chitinous hooves, and hopefully a huge tumour-firing cannon and WINGS.

A commissar probably. Why? I do my best to keep morale up in real life, would have to be a pretty bad ass soldier to be one, and would be separate from the chain of command technically. My only issue with it is being stuck with a bolt pistol and sticking out like a sore thumb. I also believe in alternate methods of keeping the soldiers in line that doesn't involve execution ala Cain style.

Failing this role I'd like to be an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Why? Because fire is fun, yelling "burn heretic" is fun, and I like the hat.

They do have the best hats in the entire galaxy

I'd be a mediocre artisan producing holy medals of saints on a minor shrine world, which I would then sell to pilgrims.

Sign me up for the agri-world or the Shrine world making cheap pendants.

Or make me an Eldar.... off on some forgotten Maiden World somewhere, far out of the way of everyone and everything.

Dante. Re-rollable 1+ plot armor save

Either someone like Marbo or some Dark Eldar pirate

Archon in Commorragh, a reasonably successful one so that I don't get murdered too often, but still have all the usual DE perks (all the slaves you can eat/torture/rape, etc.)

THE GREATEST LIBRARIAN EVER!!!!.....methiston...

Realistically, possibly one amongst billions, working/dying/killing/making money for the Emperor or whoever in charge of representing him a the moment.

Anything? I'll be a Rogue Trader. Now enjoy all your lives of grimdark servitude while I go find ancient planets and riches to claim as my own!

The guy inside Craftworld Black Library that catalogues all of the books about Chaos

Tau, not sure which caste.

They seem like a race which would treat you respectfully, and have a high standard of living.

I'd be a Hive Tyrant, Archon of a reasonably successful Kabal, a Daemon Prince (likely of Slaanesh or Tzeentch or even undivided) or a Necron Phaeron. Each of these choices have some proofing against dying.

I'd be a Big Mek with SAG.

NoBaconz4You wrote:Tau, not sure which caste.

I'll agree with that, the Tau seem like the only race that would actually have a shower

An SM Apothecary, letting me stay behind others most of the time and not having much to do since if something is strong enough to go trough SM Power Armor he will either be obliterated or his argumented body will resist the minor wounds while still letting me have all the glory of a Space Marine.

I would probably be a Rogue Trader dealing in alien weaponary.

Probably a Necron Phaeron or a DE Hellion, as i love the idea of scooting around on a hoverboard with ma gangsta buddies.

Yer, and if you were a necron, you wouldn't need a shower ....... or water...

I'd be a chaplain. Preferably DA or BT. Being an inspiring presence on and off the battle field. Sniffing out corruption, spreading wisdom, beating the stuffing out of enemies while shouting liturgies of battle. You know, fun stuff!

An inquisitor. Though I don't know if id be radical or not. The amount of power they have is insane and id rather stay human than become a marine. Oh! and since the choice is up to me. I want to make sure I am a blank. No psychic powers squishing me plx.

Second, but most likely the better choice. Would be a Daemon prince. Literally being a god who rules overa planet of your own creation and you can't be killed, just "banished" would be awesome.

Probably an Eldar pathfinder. Traveling the stars gaining knowledge, experience and riches, returning to the craft world in times of war to cause chaos and anarchy in the enemy force whilst being virtually undetectable, then disappearing as suddenly as came. I can't believe there's no black library novels from their perspective.

Stormtrooper/Death Korps of Krieg Grenadiers.

I love hotshot hellguns a lot


And I'd rather not be some bloke stuck in a planet doing the same job for more hours than he has free time, and while I want to stick to be human, might as well be one of the best trained humans, with the maglight.

An Ork freebootaz kaptin why because its sounds like it would be fun, I'd be easily amused and a goddam pirate.

Either a member of the Ordo Xenos or an Eclessiarchy Confessor
Failing that, a pony

Yeah but you could never eat a good piece of rib eye steak

I'd probably be a mercenary working both sides of the fence. Either human bounty hunter, kroot warrior.
And if that's not it, probably the human master of logistics of a SM chapter.

Touche, and seconded. Always wanted to be able to do whatever I want.

A daemon prince of slaanesh. Always living in ecstasy and never dying has its perks

Dark eldar, or slaneesh daemon. They seem to be the only ones in the whole 40k universe who "get any"

I'd probably say Slaneesh Chaos daemon princess, if those actually exist in the fluff...hmm...To research!

Surviving member of Tanith 1st. because I would follow Gaunt anywhere.

An Eldar Farseer.

Because Eldar and Farseers are awesome and I'd get to divine stuff, blow up peoples' minds and shout DOOOOM! very frequently.

I'd be a Eldar Harliquin specifically a Solitaire (Arebennian)

they are the only Harliquen who is an outsider among outsiders often performing alone but the only performers who will portray slaanesh in the dance without end

also custodialship of the blacklibrary seems like a fun gig

Ahh, yes... Dancing for the books' amusement...

A Blood Ravens Space Marine. Failing that, an Illuminati Inquisitor within the Ordo Malleus Inner Circle, working to bring about the Emperor's resurrection.

A Slaanesh CSM. Screwing and intoxicating my way through the galaxy and only getting rewarded for it. ^^

Or maybe a Plague Marine. Never having to care about my looks, see new places and meet new people and leave a lasting impression on everyone.

A tech priest whom know of the Omnissiahs, who's goal is to find a way to cross the intergalactic void and take humanity to a new galaxy to start anew and revive itself

Hiive Tyrant. with wings. but if I cant be that then I would elther fly a vendetta or drive a Vanquisher.

Eldar Farseer, plans within plans...........

I tended to overwind my toys a lot as a kid and break them.

The only job I can think of that would suit me is a Ork Big Mek for Kult of Speed.

Id probably be shackled and interrogated in the depths of "The Rock" for accidentally walking in on an "Inner Circle" Meeting... I was just looking for the GD bathroom!

I'd be an inquisitor, Ordo Hereticus, rooting out humanities enemies from within. The corrupt, the mutant, the heretic are the greatest enemy.

Eldar Farseer for sure, I would also take being a Warlock with flying colors.

vulkan he'stan. bad assery never came looking so awesome. if not him then.... salamander chaplain with pistol flamer. TO BURN THE HERETIC AND XENOS ALIKE!!!! so yea. a simple life

Am I really the only Catachan here? Come on people!

Squidmanlolz wrote:Am I really the only Catachan here? Come on people!

You forgot about me being a Marbo like IG

either Tzeench Sorcerer or Vindicar assassin.

I would love to know the untold wonders of the universe.

Or be the greatest shot ever.

Papa Nurgle because he seems like a pretty decent guy.

Barring that probably a necron overlord. Aside from being a souless immortal lich I'm sure I could figure out ways to have fun with it.

Hmmm... burny burny burn burn burn

If possible id like to be recruited by Space Marines, preferably the Salamanders. (And actually survive the selection process.)

I would be the commander of a fleet of ships BFG style, so I can stay on my ship and shoot things.

Ork big mek with a cigar, nuff said

I think I would be a eldar far seer, and the path of righteousness. I wouldn't fight the imperium though, he'll I'd try and make a truce. Mauve then I could assist the SM and guard against those pesky xenos!

An inquisitor. I just love the idea of doing anything you want. Total Carte Blanche

Vindicare Assassin, they're just 7 worlds of cool if you ask me. They've always been one of my favourite models and the Nemesis HH book cemented it for me

I would like to be a Void whale drifiting aimlessly without much competition.
Seriously I would like to be a flyboy, jinking left and right with lots of guns firing down on the enemy. Sounds like fun

Mafia...Italian style crime boss...I would have my men send you out the airlock with cement boots but I will inform the local law enforcement of any subserviant behavior

I am at a bit of a crossroads for choice:

To be either a Tech-Priest working away on some distant Forge-world

or

Being a Guardsman with a modifed Chimera that is having a race with an Ork Speed freak in a war trukk.

I am guessing the second option would not be possible but that would be so mean

Giggity

What I would want to be:
A noble Lord-Governor of a planet not constantly getting harassed by Chaos/Xenos, or
a dashing Rogue Trader, master and commander of my own kilometer-long starship, traversing space the way I see fit.

What I would most likely actually be:
A drudging manufactorium employee being worked to death and getting organ-harvested, or
a PDF conscript whose life gets wasted in some civil war or who gets drafted into the IG only to be ripped apart by an Ork Power Klaw right in the first battle, or
a Ministorum Cleric spouting propaganda and inciting mutant pogroms, fervently believing in the big lie.



[edit]
Being an Eldar might be okay, too. I like space elves.

What i want to be:
1) a Fio'O commanding the industry from one whole planet.
2) a tzeentchian daemon prince leading a warband.
3) a magos on mars commanding one of the larger forges.

What i will actually be:
1) A Fio'la having a decent live in one of the peacefull sept worlds.
2) A mindless servitor.
3) Some worthless cultist.

Draigo - While apparently I would be universally loathed, I somehow mysteriously keep showing up in command of battlefields across the galaxy.

I'd be an XV-88 pilot.

Baring that, I would be the guardsmen who dies in the first 30 seconds just to show that war is serious guys.

I would be a Thrall Servitor. That way, my mind would be too small to contemplate the grim dark future of the 41st millennium.

Would love to be a Wolf Priest, more likely to be a medic in some aspect, Guard/Hive etc.

Dark Eldar high ranking Wyche (Raiding and Killing in style) or maybe a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh or Khorne.

I would be a wolf scout that gets hand picked by Logan grimnar to be not only on his wolf guard but specially picked for super secret stealthy assassinations

If it makes you feel any better, I have a theory that devoured Eldar souls are reincarnated as Daemons of Slaanesh.

Well seeing how I teether on the edge of heresy and loyalistic ways Im going to say either Imperial guard member of some rank, or failing that Id go in style as a Bloodpact comannder

Tau Water Caste

Im a pretty peaceful guy, and Tau seems to be the only one that has people that doesnt involve fighting

I think I would be a light snack for some Hive Tyrant or Carnifex as they Hive Fleet devoured the universe.

If not that wondering where the hell we went wrong in the universe and find away to get as far away a possible.

But if that can't happen I'd want enough high end explosive to blow up the planet I lived on and the detonator to be hooked up to my heart.
When it stops. KABOOM!!!! Nuff said.

I would be Ciaphas Cain. Get the girls, never die, and have all the fun

Emperor's Children Lord

For the seks

A Demon Prince Pledged to Slaanesh and Tzeentch. You really can't do much better than that in the 40k universe, you just sit around on your immortal ass knowing everything and pursuing whatever pleasures you want most. Easy mode has been permanently activated at the expense of the rest of the galaxy.

Wonder why Eldar flee from such a beautiful 'woman' when they made 'her' in the process...I recall a few even wanted to make 'her' happen, so they can enjoy themselves forever. And when it finally became reality, they ran in fear. Tragic story...

Ahh, the birth of slaanesh. If only I was there...

I'm thinking small... maybe the resurrected god emperor of mankind. or maybe one of the Chaos gods, I'm thinking Slaanesh.

Barring that: probably a victem.

A rabble-rousing Demagogue for the Alpha Legion - nothing like getting everyone fired up to go get slaughtered from a good round of bolter fire and get the boot of the Imperium placed firmly back on top of us again.

Shall I wield the bolter for you?

Definitely a tau crisis commander. Because as you know, xv8s are badass!

Oh nothing big.....just one of the high lords of terra.....

I would be an Eldar, probably a Shining Spear Aspect Warrior. Getting to ride a jetbike and use a laser lance sounds like the most fun to be had in the far future.

Hmmm being a Cryptek would be cool... Not only are you practically immortal but you get really cool powers...

If not that then I would have to go with a DA Chaplain or BA Sanguinary Priest or Chaplain... Hmmmm being Astorath the Grim would be a cool option ....cool looking wings and be the executioner!!!

Blood angels WAR methiston vs astorath the grim who will win....methiston using force weapon special rule wich is still valid in 6th edition even though it is written in the 5th edition rulebook.

An Eldar Pathfinder from Altaioc. The adventure, the ridiculously long life span, being one of the best snipers in the universe, sign me up.

DOVAKHIN FUS RO DAS

Sorry, but I didn't understand your post.

Either Kal Jericho or a Rogue Trader.

Heretek, the kind that studies alien tech and likely dabbles in implants. Sometimes i may even have WILLING subjects.

id be a grot. And dream of becoming a great banna wavea.

The C'Tan the Necrons missed...still out there and plotting to reassert my control over them.

If that is considered too much, I would go for either a Necron Overlord (or even Destroyer Lord) or an Ork on a Warbike (for obvious reasons )

A Carnifex duct-taped to a Vendetta with railguns for arms.

A tau civilian during the great isolating warp storm of M35 through M41, good times. Everything else looks fairly bleak.

I think being a necron lord would be pretty cool. Being part of that civilisation but able to retain my personality and sanity. Plus I would love the chance to drive one of the triarch stalkers

I'm working on my PhD in Economics, so that would most likely put me as an Ordinate or Prefect in the Adeptus Administratum. Nothing glamorous, but we make sure that the machine that is the empire keeps running.

Well considering I am currently doing nothing, I would go for the exact same thing: A Planetary Governor, a rather inept one at that.



Or if I had to actually do something, I would be a rogue trader, potential for money and heroics

Swarmlord. Immortal asskicker supreme

Fulgrim, on my planet of excess.

Ork Nob plain and simple. Big nuff for kickin round da boyz but not in charge of dem all

I would be a Dark Reaper exarch.

I've changed my mind as to who I want to be:

A huge, pustulent, immortal, sickening daemon prince of nurgle.
Can't feel pain, immune to just about everything. If I get defeated in combat, I simply return to a pus-sack on Nurgle's enormous body and get reborn, and follow the only god who genuinely has a good time and cares for his followers.

(you guessed it, I've got mai nurgle army kickin' ass!)

The Emperor.

Teh emprah? Meh, you're just a rotting corpse sitting in a fridge shaped like a giant toilet.

Meh, everybody is a rotting corpse waiting to die.
This way all my needs are taken care of, got some sacrifices, an Imperium of Man, and near limitless metaphysical power.
Not a bad gig at all. Besides, one of these days I may get bored of sleep and decide to rage.

Oh, That'll be the day...

He's dead.

I would be a loyal Blood Angel Brother.

Or if i was not taken to be an angel of death I would be a Guardsman hopefully from Krieg or some Forge world

They seem like a race which would treat you respectfully, and have a high standard of living.

I'll agree with that, the Tau seem like the only race that would actually have a shower

Yer, and if you were a necron, you wouldn't need a shower ....... or water...

Yeah but you could never eat a good piece of rib eye steak

neither could you, a necron would kill you

since when did lords drive triarch stalkers????

I'd like to be the fifth Chaos God of Misery. I'd relish in the despair of others, and devote my existence to practical jokes and ensuring the worst possible outcomes in the most spectacular ways (bonus points for using as little effort as possible).

"Sorry Mr. Emperor your Primarchs are in another castle!"

Hive Mind


If not that, then the Lord of Change


If not that, then I'd be a Tau Ethereal going from world to world gradually expanding the tau empire!





For the greater GOOD!!!!!

I'd be Ghazgkull Mag Uruk Thraka's attack squig. Nobody messes with you, you get to rip some face and you get to hang with Ghaz himself.

The Swarmlord... well I'd like to be on the winning side...
Or failing that Tzeentch... just as planned...

I would aspire to be an Ork Big Mek, 'Pioneer of the first Ork drop pods' (because I really want orks to have drop pods) Preferably Mega-armoured, with anuver invension of me own creating, 'a fast moving powerklaw, and a balistic skill of 4+... of course with my own stompa, or big ass battlewagon / squiggoth / kill-krusha / battlefortress for me to ride in... cuz thats how i would role...

Failing that, Kommando bosses under the rein of Boss Snikrot sounds like lotsa fun...

An Eldar pirate captain sailing around the galaxy exploring the stars and everything the universe holds.

Failing that a baneblade/shadowsword tank commander, imagine having all that firepower at your disposal

The Emporer, duh. If I sneezed, 100 psyker's heads would explode.

A Storm Trooper, plain and simple

Definately a Necron Overlord. Nastiest Generic HQs in 40k. Win

I changed my mind, i'd rather be a warboss wiv a kff, sag, mega Armor, kustom warbike that deploys from my supa deffy ultra gargent that is painted to have a tux.

Princeps of an Emperor Titan, Warmonger-class. I'd get the mental challenge of battling the machine spirit, enough solitude to keep me happy and not overwhelmed but enough socialisation to have a few friends, and the gun platform to end all gun platforms pretty much all to myself. My titan would be armed with one Vengeance Cannon, one Doomstrike Missile Launcher, two Vortex Support missiles, one Apocalypse Missile Launcher, one Quake Cannon, one Laser Blaster and one Inferno Gun. I'd be virtually invincible, not only encase in thick armour and protected by enormous bulk and banks of shielding but also kilometres behind the frontline, bombarding the entire enemy army into a pulp from so far away they'd have no hope of the slightest retaliation - let alone enough to bring down my machine.
I'd naturally be fairly highly-ranked within my Legion, but not in a position where a great number of people relied upon me to issue direction - such roles would be reserved for those in frontline titans who would lead from the front. Meanwhile, I'd almost act as a guardian, shredding anything that posed a threat to my fellow titans from long range.

I more likely than not would be a faithful loyal Tac Marine Sergeant or otherwise Astartes Captain, leading my troops from the front with several hundred of years of experience under my belt.

Not sure if anyone's posted this yet but I'm paraphrasing from someone else's idea from a similar thread...

Deathstrike Missile Launcher crewman. Day consists of:

1. Wait for missile to prepare
2. Hear firing notification
3. Push big red button
4. Enjoy the sight of large explosion
5. Pop open a beer and watch porn for the rest of the battle

Greater Deamon of Khorn... all day and all night slash and kill..and if I die....I'll just simply reborn to kill some more!

Yep, sounds good.

with my high lift capacity I would totally be a heavy weapons trooper.

well, actually they'd probably just use me to carry the ammunition, maybe the Rocket Launcher as well and still not get to fire it because someone in the squad always out performs me in the practice range...

Thats brilliant

A Noise marine sergent, because blasting music loud enough to expload heads is an awesome ability, nuff said, oh, and worshippping the god of sex would be equally as awesome, so I can be sadistic, plesured, and having my way with a lot of women who once where part of a raided planet.
What happens when you collect slaanesh and read your GF's copy of fifty shades of grey, you start wanting to become a evil, sexually centered rapist ultra-human with a massive speaker on a gun.

One of the top answers so far!

I would want to be a SM. But the chance is I will probably die as a guardsman fighting an Ork hand to hand

I would definitely want to be a Chaplain for either the White Consuls, one of the angrier chapters like BT or even the Marines Malevolent. Taking care of the more spiritual side of things sounds fun.

I'd like the be an Arbites judge in some backwater system. I'd be almost an inquisitor but less trouble and when things get bad I can crack some heads with a power maul.

Well, Id be a human, because screw xenos. (even though I play xeno... ah well) At this point, Id like to be a Space marine, and knowing myself Id fall to chaos. Maybe Slaanesh or Tzeentch. Not Khorne or Nurgle. Unlimited knowledge or unlimited sex? Hm... Id pick knowledge, but sadly might end up with awkward Tentacles all over. So, a Tzeentch dedicated Warsmith of the Iron Warriors, whos trying desperately to become a Daemon Prince. Immortality! Woo!

what happened to screw xenos?

A null-fetus in a stasis chamber.

Out of everything in 40k, a null-fetus has maximum psyker kill count with zero energy.

Okay, done being "clever". How about a Thousand Sons Rubric?

Nothing like the sensation of falling in darkness for hundreds of years until someone pops your armor seal.

I would have to go for a Necron Phaeron of some dynasty, with an art collection rivaling Trazyn's.

Eldar Farseer or Warlock (depending on how motivated I was). These guys know where it's at, they don't have three mutant hearts and ugly square faces, and they get to live on awesome craftworlds surrounded by some of the most sophisticated, educated and cultured trappings to be found anywhere in the galaxy. Oh and on the weekends they get to go pwn the face off puny mortal races, and pretty much ally or betray whoever they want whenever they want to achieve the "path".

Yea, they also don't get laid for millenia.

Veteran Sergeant wrote:Want to be?

The Governor of a Pleasure World.

I think I win.


However, since I was a real life Marine, I guess I'd end up as a Veteran Sergeant in some chapter being groomed for eventual captaincy.

I'm pretty much in the same boat, duty, honor, pride of service, yeah I'd eat that up in any universe XD. Given my current training to be a gunsmith and previous life fixing aircraft I'd probably be a tech marine

If I'm not taken by the Astartes I'd actually like to be working for the Inquisition. Good food, weapons, heretics to light on fire with a melta gun.... and the songs are just so /catchy/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqgZnvfJ9Jg

I'd be, a tau etheral, sit in floaty chair for the entire day.

Leman Russ lol

Defs a Stormtrooper... nothing would be cooler

Captain of a Emperor Class Battleship.
