The Sanguinor every day of the week!

Although The Decapitators fluff is awesome, and when I make my conversion model It will become the best ever. Just gotta' get off my backside and start it

And also while we're on the subject (sort of), what is it with people calling the Sanguinor, 'The Sanguinator'?!? REALLY get's on my nerves that. Grrrr.....

I have to say the new Decapitator fluff is pretty awesome. Him, Vulkan, Ahriman, and the C'tan have the best fluff for special characters IMO

Finally Grimaldus, Pedro, and Ezekiel have some slick models.

Ahriman has good fluff?
That's news to me.

I like meglomaniacal, knowledge-obsessed sorcerers who go around plundering museums and libraries for ancient relics.

Then again he's pretty much an evil persian space sorcerer, and being persian myself might be why I like him.

My vote is for the C'Tan, specifically the Deceiver though. Unlike most special characters, hes not a great Hero or a Champion. Hes an entity of pure evil that enslaves living souls to fight for him. I like him for his unique fluff and play style.

Gotta be ol' Ironhand Straken simply because in a galaxy full of bioengineered super warriors and high technology all he's got is his brawn, guts and a pair of balls the size of baneblades. Oh, and a giant metal arm that will oppress the hell out of xenos and heretics. What's not to love? After having an Imperial Guardsman tear the engines out of a battle tank with his bare hands and then growl and spit and curse at the remainder of the army you can't help but want to field him every game. Or at least I can't.

Fluff wise: Fabius Bile
The most evil man (well, CSM) in the galaxy.

Ragnar Blackmane, cause I enjoyed reading the SW omnibus

Old Zogwort, can turn any IC into squig

I gotta say, you provided the most interesting mental image of a guy sitting on top of two baneblades with his legs spread apart><

Oh and I voted for Kharn, due to his fluff.

Fabius Bile. He's bloody fantastic. plus you know, he knows the secrets of geneseed fabrication.

And he's the only guy that i can think of that makes female space marines plausible
"Fabius Bile Did It"
that explains everything!

Old Zogwort

Penguinmasterofdoom wrote:Old Zogwort, can turn any IC into squig

Yep, he's my favourite. I try to use him whenever I can, he's the one character my oppoents don't like going up against.

Lol QFT imo

Vulkan!

It's how I voted in this poll, the last one and will vote in the next one.

There's not many characters that give such a good army wide buff, except maybe Ghazkull Thraka but he makes my life so miserable I couldn't vote for him.

Does Bile remind anyone else of Dr. Rockso?

Kharn, this good old Kharn. The best value in the whole game IMO.

Lucius is to me the coolest fluffy character out thr, hes literally unkillabe it is so cooooool

Unsurprisingly given my Avatar I went for Ragnar. Why? Well the Will King/Lee Lightner SW series were the first BL books I read and brought me back to the hobby after five years away. I also love the rules both old and new and I love the idea of Ragnar to me he is the ultimate Space Wolf and the ultimate ideal of what a defender of humanity in the 41st millennium should be.

I can't take Ahriman seriously, he loses to space clowns and although it s being a bit unfair to him 'cos he's a good sorceror and all he is looking for a library. An evil space library guarded by space clowns.

Helbrect has the teutonic knight thing working, and a lantern. Creed is well if I say it all the hipsters srs people will come down on me like a ton of bricks. Grimaldus has grim in his name, how much more awesome can you get?

However, all that said, there's something really awesome about the Sanguinor. He killed a blood thrister one on one by picking it up and dropping it and he caught its whip in one hand. The dude is a one man space jesus army.

Mephiston also gets points for choking a greater daemon.

Incidentally I think harlequins are pretty cool too, so losing to ninja space clowns would be an honorable defeat in my eyes.

Fair enough. He is still being given the run around by a circus though

Penguinmasterofdoom wrote:Old Zogwort, can turn any IC into squig

yep. For 1vs1 IC fight, zogwort's your man.
it really depends.
fluff? Shrike.
general army-boosting? vulkan or shrike.
in-game all-comer? lysander/ghazghkull/yarrick

What I don't get is BA players claim they have the best anti-IC SC- the sanguinor. I'd like to see him up against zogwort.
"I am the sanguinor, the BA assassin"
"see tho'- I has da powa of da gork"
"oh shi-"
>poof!< (sanguinor squig)
fail.

Phoinex lord jain-zar,the storm of scilence,she is AWESOMES.

Abaddon, nothing short of a c'tan can stop him when he has a terminator bodyguard!

Sanguinor's not an IC. Can't be squig'd.

FAIL.

sorry- haven't got the BA codex. what is he?

Jump Infantry. A really nasty piece of Jump Infantry.

except for either:
A GK grand master (not an SC, but meh.) with TAGK retinue
or
Lysander with TH/SS termie bodyguard.

Make it Brother-Captain Stern and you've got your SC

meh. Stern's overrated IMO. Give me a GKGM anyday. They get a FW.

So does Stern, that's the entire point.

Maugen-Ra all the way.
