You mean like Hawkman from DC Comics? Wasn't he a loser?

Huh? I picked armorer / masseuse / bather at a Sisters convent. That's not a warrior type.

Your life would be even shorter and your death even more horrible.

Me? I'd want to be any of the High Lords of Terra.

A High Lord of Terra is far more likely to be assassinated (or liquidated, Soviet-style), than to reach old age.

But living in a Sisters convent, giving massages and helping them bathe? How exactly would I be dying sooner than a Guardsman? Explain, please.

Well...the way all IQ forces seem to go.

HERESY

Simple.

Sentinel Pilot.

I get a stompy warmachine, that I can use to stomp through a city or as an uplink to call in an orbital bombardment.

Win/Win!

I'd wanna be a Dire Avenger, so I could totally blade the crap outa enemies, and if I die, no problem. WRAITHLORD!!!!!!!!

I'd be an Adept in the Administratium

@henners: You're not currently a pencil-pusher in civil service, are you?

I wish to be a Chaos Dreadnought

i would be an imperator titan princep

Nah. Guardsman Hawke from Storm of Iron. He owned. If you haven't read Storm of Iron, read it...and see how badass mr Hawke is...

A rogue trader! Piloting my own ship would just be awesome...

And I could wear a Georgian Style Coat. In Black.

Was he as badass as Avery Brooks' Hawk in Spenser for Hire?

A rogue trader. I mean, come on, they have a 'get out of jail free' card for everyone short of the Inquisition.

Personally, I'd load up my ship with the hottest, most dangerous women I could find and embark on an adventure somewhere between Tenchi Muyo, Irresponsible Captain Taylor, and Bible Black.

You mean the detective one?(sorry if i'm wrong ) Will, lets say that compared to him, Hawk has no ass at all.....

Yeah, the detective show from back in the day.

I would be an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Lord (hence my name). Commanding Grey Knights and anyone else I deem necessary, and rockin the most badass equipment the Imperium has. Thats the life, however short it may be.

One of the sisters would be bound to notice your pants getting tighter. Especially in the uniforms of the ecclesiarchy they give you.
From there it's a short road to a fiery purging.

It's an involuntary swelling that would require applied pressure massage to relieve, for therapeutic purposes, of course.

Involuntary Swelling is a sign of Dæmonic Possesion!

PURGE!

being new to 40k, i think being a space wolf would be pretty rad.

how about a void whale? haha

@Gwar: LOL, it's not a Daemon!

Well, OK, as a one-eyed spitting monster, maybe it is...

Well... we could spare your life.
But we're going to have to remove the daemon.
With fire. Or bolter. Or plasma. Your choice.
Choose wisely.

Did someone say KILL IT WITH FIRE?

I wanna be a Rogue Trader. Because then I could be badass while still being very FANCY. And we all know that the fancier you are, the more likely you are to survive in the 41st Millennium... that's why none of the important people have helmets.

CREEEEEEED HUUR

Snikrot!!!!
Alternative: Aun-shi, because who doesn't like an ethereal who's actually badass...

Wait, does this really say be "Anything" not anyone?

I'd be the warp. All of it.

In the 40k universe, Daemons run rampant for a long time before they are purged...

If my one-eyed monster has the run of the convent for a few years, totally worth it!

I would probably be a guardsman that gets drafted and then freaks out when I see some of the horrible things that I'm expected to fight with a lasgun and then either gets shot or put in a penal legion for running away where the process repeats and then my collar gets 'sploded by a custodian to keep the other penal troopers in line.
'

Dark Eldar (any, I don't care). No-one would even notice your existence anyway

Seriously though, Vindicare Assassin. Also seconding the Sister's convent idea though
