Surely you all meant trooper Andrej, yes?

Nork Deddog
How many other characters do you know of that were given a Commissar hat as an award?

I voted Ciaphas Cain.

fact is that all the badass human characters are still human. sure they're tough but the space marines are tougher. but Cain? Cain does plenty of cool stuff, but most importantly? he makes me laugh while doing it. and in the grim darkness of the 40th millinum, sometimes being able to laugh is important

I can't believe nobody else like Czevak.

No, the guardsman from helsreach who is the most annoying yet funniest character in the book.

One of the few survivors, with a very strange sense of humour, that fits the universe pretty well, he's also not ''just'' a guardsmen, he's a Stormtrooper. But permanently attached to the Armageddon regiments, if memory serves.

.... and still this mother-fether kills nine people in four seconds with two handguns.

Ah, but he still got demolished by Zygmunt Molotch (Who proceeded to curbstomp Ravenor's girlfriend and almost Ravenor himself), didn't he?

Honestly, that scene alone brought Molotch up to a contender to coolest non-Marine character for me.

I am also a big fan of Lucius Worna, Orfeo, Carl Thonius, Patience Kys, and Ravenor himself from the series.

In Eisenhorn, Gregor himself and GODwyn Fischig were my favorite characters.

Lord solar commander Macarius.

He needs no explanation why he is the coolest human non Space Marine in Warhammer 40k

Hells yeah, Fischig would get my vote, him and Ignace Karkasy.

Oh feth, Karkasy was truly a man among men.

A normal human, not even trained for combat, yet talks mad gak to Abaddon's face.

Manly, +1.

Sly Marbo... obviously.

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

Yriel, he's a skilled veteran of many wars. Most famously the battle of Iyanden. He has an amazing story that I really wish they'd make into a novel series.

Sergeant Gunthar Soreson 1416 from dead men walking.
What a guy, see's his girl off to an evacuation ship, then dons a a fallen Kriegsmans armour and goes off hunting necrons until the first Exterminatus capable ships start firing on the planet.
