Who do you think is the coolest and most badass warrior/soldier in 40K fluff? I've got to say Ollanius Pius, a guardsman who singlehandedly charged Horus himself to save his Emperor.
Screwed up big time, got his patch up regiment of Praetorians and Tallarn slaughtered by orks, so he died 10 years later making a lone attack on a Tyranid Dominatrix. It is said his last words were "Let me go to my fate brothers... I must have peace from the ghosts that haunt me."
Always thought that was pretty cool random fluff in white dwarf.
I would like to give an award for survival to the gretchin who used to bear the Lucky Stick (i don't remember his name) who died at the age of 19 after being crushed by Ghazkull enormous butt. He was the single most badass member of the proud gretchin people and he deserve a place beside the inevitable list of Primarchs, Phoenix Lords, Space Marine Champions, Daemons and other (real) badasses that will follow.

Well...technically...a "warrior" is an "experienced fighter", so...I'll go with either The Nightbringer or The Outsider. The former imprinted his image in the memory of all generations of weak races to come and the last can make entire hive fleets run away in fear just by...being there. On top of being the most powerful beings in the entire corporeal universe

Willful suicide generally isn't a good trait for a soldier.
Also, the answer is obviously Kharn. His body bag is incredibly large (IIRC it's easily cleared a million), and he doesn't pull bs psyker abilities like Dak'ir, and he engages purely in melee combat. Plus he's the physical pinnacle of an Astartes, as there is no greater Astartes warrior.

The Emperor, obviously. The guy managed to guide the entirety of mankind over the course of 20k years, got it out of the Age of Strife, locked up a Star God under Mars, reunited mankind back under one banner, created the greatest fighting force the galaxy has ever seen, strikes fear into the hearts of the Chaos Gods, nearly made his own Webway, and he's even a nice enough guy that he didn't outright obliterate his favorite son because he loved him. Even in a state of near death he's managed to keep the entirety of the Milky Way from falling to Chaos just by being there, sitting in a chair for 10k years, and still commands the devotion of the (still mostly united) human race.

You mean a non-canon piece of fan fiction that doesn't even try to be factually correct and is focused on comedy? That has no relevance at all in a discussion of officially produced and endorsed background material?

You mean committed suicide. Unlike when soldiers jump on top of grenades to save their comrades, Pius did nothing. Pius didn't save the Emperor, he didn't save Sanguinius, he just got swatted away by Horus. His sacrifice accomplished nothing besides getting himself killed, and was as pratical as charging into a pike formation and getting impaled.
Plus his story doesn't make sense and it's for the better if Pius gets wiped from the Horus Heresy. Somehow an Imperial Army soldier teleported onto the Vengeful Spirit alongside the Emperor, because reasons.
I think Pius' story isn't going to get wiped from history with the HH series. rather the man seems tied up in the perpetual storyline, and unlike most people I really do think they're going somewhere, somewhere important with that.
Arhra, the fallen Scorpion Phoenix Lord is probably on the top end of the "badass" spectrum, although all the Phoenix Lords probably make the list.
Kharn has got to be up on the list as well, dude's so lethal every time he revs Gorechild Khorne's nipples get hard.
I'd give my final vote to ol' Captain Cortez. In one of the old marine dexes he disarmed an Ork Warboss after his Choppa got stuck in his ribs by turning sharply to the side, then killed him and all his Nob bodyguards in close combat.

Adeptus Custodes wasn't it?
Huh? He is now a Perpetual, somehow related to Empy. one of Abnett's less brilliant ideas, but its fluff.
I'm losing track now to be honest.
They first had him as an unfortunate member of the imperial Army sucked onboard Horus' ship by Empy, Priarches, Space Marines and Custodians teleporting in. Then they elected to have him as a member of the Custodes to highlight how powerful Horus was. massive condemnation followed. Then Abnett came along and had his idea of making sure Pious had lived multiple times. End-game he is now kin to Empy who also is or was a Pertupetal.

Pius was from before a time when the Vengeful Spirit duel was a thing. Originally all that was said about his was that he maybe took an attack from Horus meant for the Emperor during the assault on the Imperial Palace.
The more familiar tale of attacking Horus while the Emperor lies crippled and then dying a messy death began with a Terminator. The Terminator was then changed to a Custode much later on for no reason so far as I can discern.
Pius and the Terminator/Custode were ultimately different events, similar only in the fact that they were Horus and the Emperor's third man.
Now there's some stupid perpetual bs happening and we can only hope the HH novel team is abducted by aliens so we never have to see that wretched seed bloom.
Did not back down against Horus. A primarch. Horus blessed by FOUR chaos gods. Horus who was knee deep in the blood of one of the deadliest Primarchs (Sanguinious). Horus who had just mortally wounded the Emperor of freaking mankind. He stood up against that and was killed horribly. The fact that he fought/made his way to the flag ship and managed that feat alone makes him the most bad ass character in the 40k universe. The fact that he didn't back down when I he stood before Horus means he should get a standing ovation from all the characters listed thus far.
Honourable mention to Ephrael Stern, who makes Draigo look like a teenager's attempt to create a self-insert sidekick for her.
Ephrael Stern was a Seraphim of the Order of Our Martyred Lady assigned to the Order of the Blessed Enquiry, presumably as some kind of guard.
She then survived the massacre of the Order of the Blessed Enquiry when they attracted the attention of Slaanesh himself with their research and was sent to report the incident to the convent on Ophelia VII.
While held in custody there for testing to make sure she wasn't possessed, corrupted or a sleeper agent, she ripped a daemonic infiltrator out of its host with her bare hands and strangled it to death. The daemon looked like a cross between a Bloodletter and a Daemonette and was there specifically to kill her, because its Greater Daemon master thought she was a threat. Badass.
She was then sent back to the site of the Blessed Enquiries' convent along with a psyker, Inquisitor Hand. During their investigation of the convent, they found the surviving Sisters: They had been bound together into a massive ball of flesh and tortured by Slaaneshi daemons. An honourable 'badass' mention goes to the Sisters of the Blessed Enquiry, who were not corrupted by chaos despite being held captive by Slaanesh for five years.
She and Hand (and a few mooks I guess) then not only held off an assault by Daemonettes and Daemon Infiltrators but destroyed the entire army. The Order of the Blessed Enquiry then gave Ephrael a gift: The sum and results of their research. The True Name of the Chaos God Slaanesh. until the Greater Daemon himself showed up and captured them. The mooks were dead. The Greater Daemon killed Hand, and then Ephrael Stern banished him using his True Name.
Even more Badass when you realise that six syllables of a daemonic true name is usually enough to drive a mortal insane and get them consigned to a pretty little cell in orbit around Titan.
Of course, that wasn't enough for Ephrael Stern. She was stranded on the planet with nothing but stray daemons and the occasional cactus. She proceeded to not only survive there for months, but to commit a large part of the knowledge she held to paper. She was then rescued by the Inquisition, who took her back to Ophelia VII for another trial, this time for the murder of Inquisitor Hand. Everyone knew she was innocent, but the Inquisition wanted her in a pretty little cell on Titan and convicted her anyway. The Inquisitor here gets an honourable mention for not only disguising himself as a Black Templar, but for convincing the Black Templars themselves that he was one of them.
Stern wasn't very happy with this, and the Prioress sent her away to continue her work as an independent agent. Yes, that's right: The Prioress Sanctorum herself defied the Inquisition on Ephrael Stern's behalf.
A few skirmishes with the Inquisitor and his Arbites later, she found herself captured by Ahriman of the Thousand Sons and tortured for information. Again, Ephrael Stern refused to break, this time breaking free despite having no weapons, armour, or really any equipment at all and destroying Ahriman's ship before escaping through the Warp under her own steam.
Reminder: Ephrael Stern is not a psyker. She's just that badass enough that she can fight her way through the Warp with her bare hands.
That same badassitude served her well when she escaped the Warp into the Webway, only to get captured by a Dark Eldar patrol and thrown into the fighting pits of Commoragh, where she performed so well that her owner decided to pass her off as a Succubus and enter her into a top-tier tournament among the Wych Cults. Which she won.
I probably missed a few high points in her story, but eventually she ended up a bit depressed after escaping Commoragh and drifted around until she was invited to go and record her experiences and knowledge for archive at the Black Library.
Besides Titus of course, I've always been fond of Sicarius - He's not only good at what he does, he's also fething smug about it
Anyway, Farsight has always been a favourite of mine. Yeah, I've seen the type of character before, but his stern beliefs actually seem hardcore enough, compared to the rest of the galaxy.
Reminds me of a song from Revengeance...
"I've carved my own path!
you've followed your wrath,
but maybe we're both the same.
The world has turned,
and many has burned,
but none are to blame!"
"Now we're standing,
on the burning land.
I feel new life might be born
beneath the bloodstained sand!"
Anyway, Farsight has always been a favourite of mine. Yeah, I've seen the type of character before, but his stern beliefs actually seem hardcore enough, compared to the rest of the galaxy.
Wow, I actually forgot about Farsight. He might the one character with the most fluff potential. and Drazhar are probably tied for me. Both are pretty badass.

Yeah, potential is an important thing - I mean, yeah, the Emps is awesome, but his time is over. He has no future... There's a lot of characters, who's only natural evolution would be with stagnation and/or death, like Aun'va, Imotekh, Marneus Calgar, Vect and other higher-ups. But characters like Farsight, Shadowsun, Sicarius, Karlean, Trazyn or Ahriman are interesting, because they still got the worst in front of them, and are found in the middle of their largest battle.
According to the fluff, Tau Commander Puretide was one of the most badass warriors in the galaxy. The Tau even immortalized him by retaining some of his memories in chips so that his knowledge would never be lost. How awesome is that?

Not only that, they have a holographic version of him, controlled by an AI made to basically be Puretide, with his memories interred inside... And, the Tau being big on the Samuri-analouges, he's of course stowed away in a sanctuary somewhere on the top of a mountian, where only the most learned students get to train with him.
Going through The First Heretic atm, so I would nominate Corax, when he completely roflstomps the Gal Vorbak. He would have stomped Lorgal easy without silly Curze getting in the way.
Other then that, I like that other raven guard I forgot the name of, that ran circles around Lucius the Eternal and handed his ass back to him.
.... so, once again I favour the Raven Guard it seems.

Actually the Ork wasn't a threat to the Emperor. The Emperor got himself into that situation so Horus could "save" him and bond with his father over it.
The the Emperor promptly murderized all the Orks. As in dissolved them.

lol, no. Not giving a gak about the warp and the Chaos Gods is > everything she's done. Stern is pretty badass though.
The award goes to random Space Marine guy who held his own against Lelith Hexperax for six hours straight in the same sentence of fluff that stated she had been tearing through "Warbosses and Hive Tyrants" with casual ease.
Runner-up goes to the no-name White Scars captain who held his own against a Necron Tombship using just a Battle Barge, even going so far as to drop its shields and get it one-shotted by a planetary defense battery.
For reference, Tomb Ships are the largest and most powerful ships Necrons have.
... Draigo wanders the Warp randomly. Ephrael stalks through it with a purpose. The latter seems more badass to me. Besides, the writing in Daemonifuge was much better.

I dunno reading your description all I could think was "and people say Dragio was mary sue" but I'm gonna guess you've simply not done the tale justice.
I know suspension of disbelieve means little in this setting but that Sister sounds horribly written. It was all believable and badass until she escaped Ahriman, one of the most powerful Psykers in the galaxy, powered through the warp and played Dress-Up as a Succubus.
It should be impossible for a non-augmented human to even pose as an Eldar, let alone a Succubus. Then to say she fought against Bloodbrides without revealing herself as human is ridiculous. Not saying it's impossible for her to win the fight, but it would be impossible to keep up with there Speed. And when she is found out for a slow oaf (in comparison) she'd get ripped to shreds.
Furyou Miko wrote: Well, yes, that was part of my point, lol... that said, no, I really haven't. You should read Daemonifuge.
I'll keep my eyes open for it, maybe Black library will re-print it. Maybe sometime this year if sisters get a hardcover 'dex release and a wave of plastic miniatures...(this'd be the year to do it GW!)

She is the shared conciousness of the entire flock of SOB she was captured with. I mean comeon Ahriman is just a mightier sorcerer not a god so people can escape from him and didn't she become a Saint? I mean this setting has quite wild stories and you gets rankled over this one?

She predates the existence of Bloodbrides, but yeah, please note that this is the same comic that features a Inquisitor disguised as a Black Templar space marine who isn't revealed until he takes his helmet off, and then the Black Templars act shocked. :p
Being a comic book, you should give the writers some leeway. The implication with the Fighting Pit is that between her training and her Faith, she simply was that fast.
Astral Knights Chapter Master who basically used a SM Battle Barge to ram the Necron World Engine. Sort of badass, but other Imperial guys has done similar stuff and not been Space Marines.

Still worthy enough to be considered badass.
But I reckon that its a toss-up between Straken (because he killed a shark with his teeth) and Huron (he got shot with a Meltagun at point-blank, AND LIVED)

I might add that the meltablast wasn't even what crippled him, it was the resulting explosion of the archeotech lightning claw he was wearing!
What about the Chaos Gods themselves? I mean they fight and are gods who have destroyed other gods (mainly Eldar I think), and Empy even as he is dying is holding the Warp at bay in his looong dying moment which is extremely badass. Though it more and more looks like he has help in achieving that from later fluff.
Aside from the Emperor who is supposed to embody kicking ass and self sacrifice, Sly Marbo is always there to kill and blow and things up in the name of the emperor. He's just some regular human, but completely insane about how he deals with things, which either makes him a nutball or the most badass character in 40k ever. Too bad he's not reappeared since 5th edition.
As far as humans go, Ollianus Pious, almost definitionally.
He's not exactly human, of course, but like all the perpetuals, he's an archetype.
The Emperor is the Leader. Malcador is the Conspirator. Vulkan is the Smith. John Grammaticus is the Spy. Damon Prytanis is the Assassin. And Oll Person is the Soldier.*
He's arguably older than Maugen Ra - the Aspect Shrines date from the Fall of the Eldar Empire, which is the birth of the Eye of Terror, in about M.30. Oll, by comparison, has been fighting wars for about 32,000 years before this.
One of the flashback scenes sees him in central Anatolia and having pretty much the X-Men:First Class Wolverine cameo with the Emperor.
And....yeah. He's quite scary in a fight. You hear legends of the Phoenix Lords destroying such-and-such a hive fleet, or fighting for so-and-so many days. But in Know No Fear you get to see, in detail, Oll in a fight. Emptying a lasgun, firing from the shoulder at a run, and landing purely headshots is in some ways more scary than any amount of semi-mystic hyperbolae.
And yes, I suspect he will be on the vengeful spirit, but I don't think it'll be by accident. He's been sent to get something, and to get it to the ship at the appropriate moment - presumably either an athame or the anathame - which will either be the weapon which sanguinius uses to open up the supposed chink in horus armour, or the weapon the emperor actually uses to stab horus.
* Possibly also - Kharn is the Bezerker. Because he's been killed twice that we know of and later been found to be alive. Yes, it could be 'chaos did it', but there's no actual evidence of that - no mutations, no marks on the flesh, no obvious daemonic influence.

What makes you think Malcador is a Perpetual?
The background available on the final fight between Horus and the Emperor doesn't suggest that the Emperor kills Horus with a physical weapon (or even if I recall correctly land a blow on Horus). The Emperor destroys the Warmaster with a psychic attack.
If one of the times Kharn is supposed to have died was when he was impaled on the rhino I don't think he was meant to have been killed by that; merely removed from the fight.
I've always liked Captain Tycho. Blood Angels hero being pruned for leadership of the whole chapter before going fuckin nuts and turning into a psychotic killmachine
Frankly, Celestine doesn't hold a candle before most of the characters listed. She's a one trick pony with a bit of sword skill, but she mostly relies on her ability to come back to life to get anything done.
She has good game stats, but she has no real legend. She's known for being a figure head leader and never staying down for long, but you can't name any great feats of heroism beyond "led the rest of the crusade".
Celestine is about the only repentia that was received back into her squad... and then killed a daemon prince on her own making her way through black legion dudes.
Coming back to life is something that i wouldnt call confirmed. No one really knows what happens to her.
As for Sigismund, that dude took down 25 chaos champions in the siege of terra on his own. Kharn was probably among those (perhaps when they expand on that fluff, they will put them fighting against each other).
"Less my brother Dorn's champion and more Death's itself" - Sanguinius when talking about Sigismund.
The more I read about him the more I like him, a first rate fighter, and also a realist. He tried to steer the Nightlords into a more productive path after Cruze went into a coma, but was eventually overruled.
Furyou Miko wrote: Celestine was never received back into her squad. She was a Repentia, then she was a Saint, but she never returned to the regular order of battle.
Technically you are correct - she, however, became more than just a sister of battle, but she was still one of them. She lead her sisters to more battles after her sainthood.

Sarpedon ... He turned away from Chaos after he was blessed by it, and convinced his battle brothers that having 8 legs was not a mutation, and his charisma got them to agree. Then he starts ruining corrupt Imperial head honchos as well as anything that Chaos sends after him. Beset on ALL sides by ALL factions, he survives for a long time. Badass.
