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.

MIND WAR CHALLENGE!

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.

The only thing worse than a rival ganger, is a rival GINGER ganger!

Not I'm not going to fight Eldar. I'd like to battle Orks - much more fun.
