Furious charge and preferred enemy ftw

But you only get Furious Charge and Preferred Enemy if he dies...

He's your favourite HQ because you get some nice rules when he dies?

Hey don't you underestimate my S4, preferred enemy, dump a clip of pulse carbine in yo face before melee firewarriors.

I lol'd @ your avatar as I read your post.

Looks wise I love, in no particular order:

Terminator Chaplain
Cato Sicarious
Castellan Crowe
The Sanguinor

As far as gameplay, I love Librarians...I don't think that I've ever been let down by a Librarian in either regular or Terminator armor...I am also partial to Chaplains in Terminator armor (especially when I'm using the black templar codex, i waffle between codex marines and BT's

Marines: Chaplain
Guard: Yarrick/Straken

Njal, or just an old fashioned Rune Priest with Jaws and LL. MMM yes nothing better then a SW HQ.

Mine are
Creed/Kell
Logan

and now: Redmaw

In rules terms or in fluff/art terms?

I like Warbosses

Preferably on bikes.

For me it has to be a Necron Overlord with Warscythe, MSS, PS and SW on a CCB.

Actually, this is my favorite HQ. A giant Power Klaw. Preferably on a Warbike.

GW So needs to make a special model of this guy I'd start an IG army just so i could field him

'Course there'd also need to be a Jurgen model.

Then we'd need plastic Valhallans some of which would be *GASP* female!

Id simply cut off some battle sister heads and slap those on. since those guard uniforms make it impossible to distinguish between male and female from a distance anyways

There used to be a couple of kits some years ago that actually had a few female guard models in them. but sadly those have long since vanished.

and yes we'd definately need a jurgen model too. though a regulair melta toting guard model would suffice in a pinch

You'd need to greenstuff loads of pockets and pouches on. Probably have him holding a mug of Tanna for Cain as well.

Could use an ale mug from the WFB dwarf range just have to shave off the runic icon

Hive Tyrant- MC, Psyker, army buffs, AND insane in CC?! yes please

And he reminds my of the Xenomorph queen and I'm a big fan of that franchise

I forgot about
Blood Angel Captain with Jump Pack and Paired Lighting Claws
Blood Angel Honor Guard [All with Jump Packs
o1x Blood Champion
o1x Sanguinary Novitiate
o3x Honor Guard with Paired Lighting Claws [one with the chapter banner]

Commander Farsight. He always seems to surprise me winning combats he shouldn't.

Necron Overlord more or less fully kitted out

Blood Angel Captain with TH/SS and Jump Pack

Blood Angel Captain with Termi Armor and 2x TH (gotta love the wording in the codex )

Duke Sliscus

Chaos Lord w/ Terminator Armor, MoT, Chainfist, Personal Icon, Combi-melta

Abaddon

Belial and Ghazz

Technically Aun'Va is one of the deadliest HQ choices in the game...

Personally Logan Grimnar is my all time favourite.
He is fairly expensive but can change the way your army places, can give you a LoganWing, comes loaded with a load of special rules and is fairly hard to kill.

In no particular order:

Lugft Huron
Khaaaaaaaaaaaaarn
Sevrun Loth
Carab Cullen
Yarrick
Creed (just cos tactical genius + game of apocalypse = Creeeeeeeeeed)

Wolf Priest. Power weapon. 4 attacks on the charge. Grants himself and his pack Preferred Enemy and Fearless. 4+ Invul. 100 points.

A lot of SW players swear by their Rune Priests, but I love my Wolf Priest.

Elan Morin (my converted Eldrad) because a) the staff topped with a Necron Lord's Resurrection Orb hand looks impossibly badass and b) he one-shotted three Carnifexes with Mind War last Apocalypse game against 'Nids I played.

Logan for his versatility.

Not looking forward to getting owned by everyone else's CC oriented hero in 6th ed though!

Wazdakka, for his fluff, the scratch build ops, and his list theme.

BigMek, for the KFF, which is the only thing keeping Orks semi-competitive.

Rune Priest baby!

Love the Wolf Priest too. He's great with a huge pack of Blood Claws and a LRC.

Models: Terminator Chaplain, Chaplain with Jump pack, Daemon Prince, Chaos Marine Lord. All of them look ready to punch faces in.
Rules: BA and GK Librarians, Company Command Squads. Force Multipliers are <3
Fluff: Librarians, Bjorn the Fell-Handed.

For my it would be: Dante, I love sanguinary guard and he makes a squad awesome.

For my it would be: Imotekh, yes ill take 4 - 5 rounds of night fighting with lightning strikes.

Although he was insanely expensive, the Swarmlord with three tyrant guard, all with boneswords, they wrecked most things in CC. Or, Eldrad backed up with max warlocks, he ALWAYS did something. My all time fav is Skulltaker, oponents would actually run from him, he was just disgusting, and a pretty good deal too, 140pts base, then stick him on a crusher, and put him with a squad.

That magnificent tactical genius himself Ursarkar E. Creed, Lord Castellan of Cadia and Hero of the Battle of Tyrok Field, is definitely one of my favorites.

Captain Obadiah Schfeer is up there too, he is literally a "Mad Tanker"!

Not sure if i am going to get flak for this one, but I like Vorth Mordrak from the GK codex. I like the idea of a man so distraught by the death of his brothers in arms that his psychic powers creates sprectres of them. And as if being haunted by them was not enough, they save his life unlike what he was able to do for them.

Kharn the Betrayer.

Shame the model sucks.

Maugan Ra, the Harvester of Souls.

Seriously, Phoenix Lords get some flak, but this guy NEVER fails me. Most of the time he stomps around the battlefield with Eldrad, coz I'm horrible like that... Or sit with my reapers and says 'yeah, I dare you to assault me... I doubledare you...' haha


Von Chogg

Eldar Farseer because they are just awesome! Making enemy psykers roll 3D6 for psychic tests, doom, fortune, mind war, how can you not love them?!

And of course the Archon. He just messes stuff up

Astorath the Grim is easily the coolest looking.
