Just skimming my SM codex for what must be the millionth time and was wondering what everyone's favourite special character from the new codex is (fluff and rules wise)? For me it's Vulkan He'stan, though I am probably a bit biased on the situation as I collect Salamanders.
*side note * While the Legion of the Damned may not be a Special Character as such, they have been included as they are not as you would say normal, they're ghosts (or something like that) so I've included them.

The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is....basically himself?

Telion.
He is pretty good in-game and his fluff is fairly epic...

Legion of the Damned FTW. They have, in my opinion, the best fluff out of all the Space Marine chapters.

The Crimson Fists suffered a devastating blow when one of their own missles malfuntioned and struck their fortress moastary wiping out nearly the entire chapter. Pedro gathered what survivors were left and continued to fight the Ork Waaagh invading the planet. He is a no nonsense leader without all the fancy wargaer of other characters. If you wanna know more check out the book Rynn's World it's a great read.

That's slowed. CF are slowed. My vote goes with Vulkan. I've always been a fan of Salamanders, and he's just a bad ass.

I like Pedro. The one reason I am considering of collecting Crimson Fists... or just renaming him and using him in my own chapter.
