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.

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

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.

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...

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.
