Yes, Leman Russ.

Any one who answers any Blood Angels character is automatically wrong. Sanguinius is such a pansy that when the Emperor came to Baal, he cried.

After rereading Storm of Iron, I have a new candidate for manliest character in 40k.

Guardsmen Julius Hawke, Hero of Hydra Cordatus.

Took some Land Raider sized balls to pull off some of the crap he did.

Kaldor Draigo

Sure you don't mean Zombie Cultists...? This threads from March. But, for the sake of discussion, gotta go with Ollanius Pius. Balls of steel right there.

Draigo is Slaaneshs chewtoy. He belongs to the sheboy God now...

My vote would be Zagstrukk. He killed a SM dread with his teeth AFTER the dread had already ripped both his legs off. Killing a 20 ft armour plated deathmachine whilst bleeding out with your chompers rates pretty manly to me .

Any Grey Knight is invalidated.
For me it comes down to Yarrick, Straken, and Marboooooooooooooooooooo

After reading this thread all the way through. I have to say Pius. Had no idea of his background but im REALLY angry BL have retconned it and completely ruined his destiny.

Ferrus Manus also challenged the Emperor to a fight.

The difference is that Manus wasn't knocked the feth out.

Original ordinary human guardsman variant Ollanius Pius.

Coming from a man who plays chaos and orks...

its marbo......

yarrick makes him go squish
stricken has a fething initiative chainfist and power armor with his bare chest.
marbo gets intercepted as he gets behind you by a quad-gun.
Besides, hiding is for sissies. Real men have the balls to let the opponent see their end whilst risking their own hides.

On the Tau Side: Farsight, i mean its a blade and a crisis suit what more do you expect out of a fish?

Eldar: Eladar or whatever his name.

Angron, The dude got shot twice by a Titan, Then Lifted the titans leg off of him self after it tried to stomp on him. And all this after using Gore Child and Gore father to Dig himself out of 200 meters of rubble.

Is everyone's definition of manly restricted to "he destroyed/killed something really big after getting smashed over the face repeatedly with a thunder hammer for about half an hour and got blasted by seven vindicators"?

I still maintain Leman Russ. Drinking contests? Now that is a man's man.

Don't forget he was the first primarch to take on the emp in 'man vs food'

Alcoholism is manly nowadays? Seems more like a weakness to me...

Mmm I don't know... Grimmy or Straken... one is a old grumpy granpa who showed the middle-finger to the inquisition, the other is basically THE guy of the IG in my humble opinion.

I say Straken.

Yea, w/e... Sly Marbo all sneaky and weak.

The Mother Fething incarnate of THOR is one step away from crushing the puny man; Arjac Rockfist. First of all, he's got a Viking name coupled with a name of pure distilled raging awesome.

Next, he'll eat that demo charge for breakfast. Than, he'll crush you with mjolnir Foehammer. And then he'll use his awesome Stormshield to win every snowboarding event in the imperium while picking 8 movie deals.

Someone yelled RELEASE THE KRAKEN, and all that does for Arjac is remind him that's it's time to eat.

Oh yeah, but Ferrus knew when to stop. Leman was a wolf... quite literally. The Empy had to beat him up, 'cause otherwise Russ wouldn't acknowledged him as "the Alpha Male".

This made my day.

Noise marines. Anybody who can bust a sweet solo in the middle of a raging battle is pretty manly.

And its not pink its salmon!

Only if you're American. Same principle doesn't apply to the Norsemen.

Besides, my original point still stands. Getting blasted but then taking down something big? Orks can do that. Doesn't make you special. Angron murdered a titan? Lukas the Trickster shared a dozen beds in a single night on Fenris. I don't care if he's a primarch, Angron loses no matter how big of a thing he kills.

I would have to say Space Wolves. I don't even care for them but you can't get manlier than a f-ing badass space viking.

I didn't know about this character. I thought you were exaggerating so I went ahead and took a peek out of the SW codex.

THIS GUY IS ALL TYPES OF MANLINESS! He isn't even missing a frakking beard!

I'm not really a Space Wolf fan, but I agree that Arjac Rockfist is the most manly.

He's like Lysander with a beard.

In all seriousness though. Russ.

He's a slob, a brute and a double hard b***ard
