Who do you think is the greatest warrior in the warhammer 40k universe?

Marneus Calgar

GHaz of course, no ones bigger or arder than him n every one fears him

Where the hell is Kharn?

And Sly Marbo?

This list is incomplete

Mesphiston is one step away from becoming an Demon Prince.

Kharn is not worthy of being on the list, Abaddon would beast him any day!!

If you were to put them toe to toe it'd have to be a C'tan. They are levels above the others that can't even be compared.

Statistically in game, it is very sad that Mephiston can one shot one but if you go by pure fluff there wouldn't be a contest.

Fluff Ctan would be the best by far.

They were on Par with the Old Ones, creators of the webway, and masters of the warp. The Ctan you see in the game are mere shadows of what their full power would be.

I think that there is some fluff about the Ctan called the Dragon being beaten by the emperor, but only because he was shot with a Blackstone Fortress a full power first. It would seem that at their full strength they would only be rivaled by the Old Ones, the Emperor (maybe), or the Chaos Gods (not sure how they would meet though).

none of the above, the greatest warriro in 40k is Ollanius Pius.

he may not have killed anything but his actions did win the Horus heresy for the Imperium. And lets face it that was pretty much the biggest shindig in 40k

but for the sake of the vote I put Grimnar, cause you can't keep a good SW down

The avatar of khaine is a small piece of the eldar god of war. Nuf Said

Brother-Captain Aurelian.

Oam Mkoll.

Swarmlord anyone? Helps kill whole worlds and just regrows somewhere else if slain.
Kinda brings a new meaning to 'Eternal Warrior'

C'tan ate whole races and systems and reform if "killed".

The Emperor has imprisoned a c-tan by himself thank you very much.

The Emperor may have BEEN the greatest Warrior. One could also Say Solar Macharius was depending on your definition. If you mean a living one-on-one master of combat instead of a leader? Well, Angron is still alive (sort of) and rumors abound that Russ MAY still be wandering around in the Warp. Though he was "dying" according to some fluff I read a while back, the distortions in the Warp may be such that he's still kickin'.


I can't pick as I'm just not sure.

Gonna vote for the actual god on this list and go C'tan.

Supposedly after it had been blasted by a weapon designed specifically to use against a C'tan.

One little mistake - C'Tan is a GOD. So he can't count for heroes are MORTAL beings that do GOOD stuff.
And you forgot Gabriel Angelos - in my opinion the greatest hero!!!

The Avatar, obviously. If the Avatar wasn't the greatest warrior in the universe, who would the Space Marine heroes curb stomp/strangle/viciously feth up the ass to show how badass they are?

Calgar killed an Avatar with his own bare hands.

Well, they weren't "bare" he had his Gauntlets on... he isn't Chuck Norris... ok, uncalled for, I know.

Much as it is a knee biter to admit, the C'tan are mortal. They have no known natural age limit, but they Can be killed. And to the Necron race the C'tan are heroes, but I will admit they may be biased a tad.

Khârn is displeased with this Poll.

Kill. Maim. Burn. Ad infinitum

Hazard a guess at my vote. Even if you kill him, it's likely that in your elation he'll take over you and you'll morph into good old Lucius.

Lucius, may not be THE mightiest, but you can't kill him without damning yourself to the slowest, most painful death ever imaginable as your face and body contort and change back into Lucius as his spirit possesses your body and your soul is locked away in his armor to feel the pain for all eternity.

The thing about Lucius is, if gets killed by either a Tyrannid or Necron he is pretty buggered. Pretty much anything that doesn't revell in victory. Also I wonder if Khârn could kill Lucius? He only lives to kill, and takes no satisfaction in it. Simple cuts off the head and moves on.

Plus; He can't be that good at fighting, he's died a fair few times.

YARRIK!! He inplanted a LASER in his eye to appease the Ork tales that "E'll kill you jus' by lookin' atcha"

Where's Vect? Not only is he a bad-mama-jama in CC but he would manipulate the others into fighting for his benefit. Who's the better warrior - one who chops up his opponent or the one who tricks him into chopping someone up?

Dante. If the prophecy is correct...
