I have a Grey Knight Brother-Captain/Grand Master that has a penchant for being the last model on the table.

Lieutenant Varras from Battle for Macragge is a real 'Stealer slayer. The marines who tried to protect him failed but he killed three of them in close combat.

I pretty attached to my Demon Prince and Termie Lord, mainly because the paint jobs turned out really well. And the termie lord looks really good with all the spawn tentacles attached.

SC wise, I feel bad for Lucius. He always gets over shadowed by kharn.

How about we have a character showcase. I am someone who enjoys the narration aspect of the game and have given many of my characters back-stories. My group used to have a practice of writing before and after battle stories about our armies.

Dark Eldar Archon Abhorian: My lord acquired his position by assassinating a sitting lord of a Kabal and claiming it as his own, naming it the Kabal of the Lamenting Prey. He had no identity in Commorragh, and no one knew of him until he seized control and declared himself a lord. Promising glory under his rule he left the social structure of the Kabal unchanged even allowing the former lord’s daughter to remain as a Sybarite. Many thought he was a lucky upstart who will be crushed by the other lords, or dispatch from within. But, he has been successful both on the battlefield and in courts of Commorragh, as if he had access to pertinent information that he was exploiting.

Despite many attempts on his life or rule, he has easily thwarted each threat, as if he had known of them in advance. He led many assaults against the minions of chaos and the tyranids. Abhorian has been assisted in his endeavors by the harlequins they have also have become a presence in his court. He has performed many controversial actions including fighting along side craftworld eldar and imperial inquisitors. Many believe that Abhorian has the favor of the Laughing God; some even suggest that he is in fact a harlequin that was planted in Commorragh.

Haemonculuses: Abhorian makes extensive use of haemonculuses primary in grotesque and taloses creation. Also he has dedicated a lot of resources to the examination of chaos and tyranid physiology. Why the lord requires the biology of these creatures examined his known only to him, but the haemonculuses appreciate the opportunity to test their skills on the test subjects that Abhorian is providing them. Many times I would leave the Archon at home and have Heamonculuses led my army.

Craftworld Eldar: Generic Ulthwe’ characters

Keeper: generic GD

Slannesh Daemon Prince: Once a very successful commander in a Slannesh army. He existed for pride and military accomplishment alone. He was rewarded with Princedom for his many victories, but instead of a glorious depiction of a radiating figure typical of DP of Slannesh, he was turned into a drooling, poisonous, serpent for failing to worship the many aspects of Slannesh and pursuing a spartan military lifestyle,

Chaos lord and Sorcerer: Generic characters that I made after moving my DP to my daemon army left my EC without an HQ. I haven’t played them yet.

Chaos Lieutenant: A Remembrancer who was stationed with the EC. Prayed to Slannesh so that she would be allowed to fight in the battles and not simply record them. Was commander of my Slannesh LatD. Two lightening claws and steed of slannesh.

Harlequin: Generic Harlequins with wraith-harlequin.

Radical Mallous Inquisitor: Does a lot of shady stuff to further his own ends. Uses daemon host, kroot mercenaries, death cultists, and has allied with dark eldar, chaos, tau, harlequins, and corrupt guard

Rogue Psker: Leader of my zombie hoards/cult leader for a LatD zombie force. Rules wise he is a chaos sorcerer in terminator amour armed with dual lighting claws. I tried to model him like he was casting defensive and offensive spells - hence the armor and claws. I know it was a stretch but I didn’t have a lot of options for my zombie LatD leader.

Necron Lord: Destroy lord with phase shifter and warsythe. He goes well with my necron army lots of flayed ones, wraiths, and scarabs. No C'tan loyalties, just a free roaming pirate necron force.

I've got a few characters.

Boss 'Eadsmasha, who's got a grudge against 'fexes, dreads, wraithlords and daemon princes.

Mekboss Kogtoof, who keeps having to save 'Eadsmasha from whatever big killy thing is trying to rip his face off. His best kill so far is a wraithlord, which he ran over with a trukk.

Da Nutta, who once blew up a baneblade by accident. And then went on to kill the enemy commander with a big stikk to the face.

Snork, a simple SAG mek who keeps getting double 6 whenever he shoots termies.

Nork, Da Ninja Ork. Basically just a PK nob, but one who keeps ID-ing enemy commanders.

Mad Gobba, a biker nob with 2 PKs who just loves beating up tanks

We're probably going to play this weekend. I'll start a backstory on my SM character and will keep tabs on kills (shooting and hth) and anything that happens to him. Maybe this will be the start of a beautiful relationship. Now that I say this he will probably be instant killed all games before he can do anything.
