Who is the Best Character in the Blood Angels Codex?

**Sledgio**

Mephiston any day, his psychic powers and combat prowess would beat any of them in a one-on-one battle; but Dante is a tactical genius!! Mephistons fluff is also supreme!!

**Ashryu**

I voted Dante, because I like his fluff slightly better. I have literally no clue as to the tabetop viability of either Dante or Mephiston.

**Anavrin**

Mephiston. The others have some neat tricks they can do, but Mephy's a freakin' monster.

**Emperors Faithful**

Gabriel Seth. Becuase he's not a Blood Angel.

**Mr. DK**

Mephiston is just the dumbest, OTT character out there. T6? -___- . Ppl complain that the lack of invl save makes him fair... He has no invl becase he's a librarian and they don't get it either! Anyways, this is coming from a Blood Angel player. I voted Lemartes, he's badass, fun to play, and has a good back story.

**Cerebrium**

Gabby Seth. Because A. He's not a Blood Angel and B. Throwing him into the center of a big pack of gaunts is god-damn hilarious.

**Far Seer**

Sanguinor because he is gold and is not a human

**MechaEmperor7000**

The Daemon Prin.....I mean Chief Librarian gets my vote.

**guyperson5**

Brother Corbulo is wierd becuase who else would go into battle carrying a cup? Honestly.

Dante totally because he is actually sane.

**Valkyrie**

Astorath, both from a fluff and a gaming viewpoint. He's the "Redeemer" of the Death Company, and he makes any BA around him even angrier! I also despise the fluff of the ~~Grimaldus wannabe~~ Mephiston.

**cyrax777**

Muffy (Mephiston) he is a demon prince with the footprint of a regular marine.

**GamzaTheChaos**

I vote Dante he is the only one who is not a preppy bastard who pops his collar up, shops at hollister and is not named Chad.

he is however and old depressed man who cries himself to sleep because he is a sissy who can't handle the images of war.

**Guitardian**

As a non BA I voted Tycho as he is the only one I read that did not make me think the rules guys were smoking crack.

**guyperson5**

Just letting everyone know the "rules guy" is Mat Ward. He wrote the Codex

**Commander Endova**

I like Dante for gameplay, cause, well, he's the only SC I use in my BA's. I like Astorath's model and fluff much more, though.

Pretty sure Mephy is older than Grimaldus my friend he's been around quite a long time, so in that case Grimaldus is a wannabe mephiston

seriously though Mephy aint that hard when stuck in CC with Abaddon or typhus those two are the real monsters.

Fluff wise I love Dante plus he has much more utillity than Mephy, mephy is usefull because of the ammount of panic he can cause.

**Fafnir**

Lemartes' kill count (he has 4 other death company with him, but let's face it, they're wound counters and they rarely get to attack anything before Lemartes has finished the entire enemy unit) so far, over the course of 3 games, is 76 (he had one bad game where he only managed to kill a Tervigon). I'll go with him.

Sanguinor wins for utility though.
