Simple, who do you like best in the Big Four Mournival Members?

We only really know 4 of them properly with mentions of sejanus all we have to go on so optitons are fairly limited

That's why I said favorite of the Four. Abaddon, Aximand, Loken, Torgaddon

L. O. K. E. N. He is the man, honorable and loyal to the end

I never really got into Loken. And I thought it was a huge copout when it turned out that he wasn't dead.

So I'm gunna say Abaddon.

You ask me to choose between two of my all time favourite HH characters?

The pragmatic and silent Little Horus? Or the adorable naïve, but idealistic Loken?

I give up. It’s just too hard.

They're fictional characters.

Torgaddon, for me. I liked Loken, but his personality was getting a little Gary Stu-ish by the end of Galaxy in Flames.

And I agree that it sucks that he's still alive. I look forward to seeing him kill Aximand, though.

I like Torgaddon and Aximand. Abaddon was to much Abaddon the Dispoiler for me to like him and Loken was way to naive.

Loken for me. This should be made into a poll.

I don't know much about fluff, so may I ask who these fellows are? I know about abaddon and that's it.

The members of the Mournival, a group of marines chosen to support their Primarch with different Points of View when asked for.
Pre-Heresy and in the first of the HH-series, those four were part of it. So maybe if you didn't know them, you haven't read those books?

Definitely Tarik, his character is quite refreshing.

I would have liked to have had a bit more of Sejanus, he seemed quite the dude.

Torgaddon, such a good character, Idealistic like Loken but not Naive and able to make harder decisions and made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lokens a badass.

Best bit of the whole series so far has been when he drops Lucius with a headbutt before Lucius even gets a swing in.

Loken. I think they are four great characters and I've enjoyed reading about them but Loken wins for me. He is just kinda relatable, for a Space Marine. Plus, I talked the missus into naming our unborn child Loken so I have to go with him. Though that was only because she said no to Ryu and Optimus.

Added a poll. Also that kid is destined for a life-time of awesome

Loken because he is found alive after being beaten and tossed around like a ragdoll on a planet that has been bombarded by horus and co

How did they explain that one?

Its somewhere in the fluff I even believe he went on to become a grey knight or so I was told ill look into it but I believe that a space marine can go into a sort of hibernation mode where the body re-routes about 99% of their bodily functions to heal itself

Abbadon The Despoiler

Its on lexicanum nathaniel garro rescued him although he suffered amnesia he overcame this when reminded of his name

BLACK LIBRARY EXECUTIVE: Guys, Loken is a popular character. If he's dead, sales will go down.
JAMES SWALLOW: I'll unkill him in this audio book I'm writing.
BLACK LIBRARY EXECUTIVE: 'Unkill'?
JAMES SWALLOW: Yep.
BLACK LIBRARY EXECUTIVE: Sounds good.

Loken. Just not a fan of the other guys.

The Mournival sounds like some sort of emo metal band.

Loken because he presumably smacks traitors with his pimp cane, but they describe it as another type weapon to be suitably grimdark.

EXALTING NOW

You sir, have won both the internets and real life.

Its been a while since I read those first three books so I can only remember how cool Loken was. Though Abbadon needing terminator armour due to his size made me evil laugh

I actually like Abaddon in 30k, despite him being an armless failure 10,000 years later

Fact. The dude used to be a goddamned legend, back in the day.

Hundreds (at least) of regular humans survived the same attack. Turns out Exterminatus isn't as effective as the propaganda.

Yeah! Or a life-time of being bullied for having a silly name. High risk, high reward.
