Quite the simple question, aside from Daemons and Daemon princes, who would you say is the strongest living person in 40K?

To keep it simple, as long as they're still in a codex, they can be used (like Eldrad).

And by strongest, I mean in a one on one fight.


I'm saying Lelith, her entire purpose is to be the most badass fighter alive.

EDIT

NO DRAIGO

Do you mean with character is the best?

Or model?

Fluff-wise or stat?

Fluff wise, which is why the topic says "fluff discussion"

Well, I'll just say Draigo before anybody else does and hurry this thread's degeneration into awfulness.

Off to the pub now, have a good thread...

Ghaz, Draigo, Lelith,Lucius, Trazyn, Imhotekh, there are alot of very powerful beings in the 40k universe

Lysander can be a pain too. Just sayin

The Sanguinor.
Slaying a Bloodthirster on your own with only a jump pack, becuase your blade is pierced in him is, well, totally epic!

Ghazgull, Swarmlord, Imotekh

Well yeah, I think every single codex has their one dude who can be called strongest in the codex.

Question is, who is the strongest of them.


Which is why I'm disallowing Daemons, since Angron would easily win that.

EDIT: Or Genghis Khan: Khorn's greatest champion.

Marbo... admit it, no other charcter has the balls of steel or the awesomeness he has.

This should be interesting to watch.

Defending Lelith:

She's one of, if not thee greatest Wych out of all Dark Eldar, Wych's being bred essentially for fighting alone in fights numbering many or few. She does this, without using the combat enhancing drugs everyone else uses, and is so adebt at her craft that she can use her very -hair- as a god damned weapon.

Be honest, would lelith: 3 wounds, ws 9, strength 3, toughness 3, sv 6+ - really kill Swarmlord: 5 wounds, ws 9, strength 6, toughness 6, sv 3+.

We're talkin' fluff here.

Though, what were her rules again, for her staggering number of hits? Seriouslly, I don't have my codex with me.

Forgot, fluffwise I'd probably go Lelith or Ghazgul

Ghaz gets my vote.

Cuz' orks r' made fer crumpin!

Yarrick, for bitch slapping Ghaz and stealing his arm, you've been ninja'd.

Draigo hands down.

Fluffwise, I'd say one of the Necron lords. from the fluff, everytime someone was dueled, they got tired, and lost, despite landing death blows. It's hard to beat something that Repairs itself almost instantly, doesn't tire, and Doesn't feel pain.

Mephiston.

He has already died twice.

True, but Draigo literally lives in the warp and is laughing about it...

True, but, could they repair, say a severed head? We know they're capable of helaing wounds, but whole parts gone?

Yes. they've repaired worse than severed heads. One of the fluff pieces talks about Necrons picking their heads back up, and arms crawling back, and reattaching themselves.

Abaddon. Or Lucius.

Draigo.

There is frankly no other correct answer, speaking in terms of fluff.

You know those Daemons you aren't allowing?

Draigo regularly curbstomps them. In the Warp, where they are at their most powerful.

He even manages this feat against extremely powerful Greater Daemons like M'kaechan.

I'm going with C'tan Shards. Sorry but now that it looks like the Emperor had that much trouble not with a starved Void Dragon but a starved shard of the Void Dragon, which he admits he couldn't kill.

Swarmlord, Wazdakka, Ghazzy, Yarrick, Draigo or Lelith.

You make a valid point.

Yep, C'tan Shard of the Void Dragon for the win.

Well, isn't the main reason Draigo is kicking so much ass, that they are daemons and he was bred specificly to kill demons? He wouldn't exactly do as well against Thrakka.

And I said no demons, because fluff has some demons WAY ahead of what Draigo has defeated.

He probably would do fairly well...
