The eternal conundrum, who is the best character. Do you go for the mega expensive ones, who deal death to all comers, are the cheaper ones, value for money. Are you a fluff connoisseur, or are you all about the models looks. Here's your chance to tell your fellow Dakites who you like.
Post the models name, stats, any RELEVANT picks and the reason that they are your favourite.
____________________________________
My favourite is Belial, Master of the Deathwing.
He has a master crafted Power Sword, the ability to make terminators troop choices, and he can make a sick terminator command squad.
sadly GW haven't made a model for him yet.
MOD: Don't post stats because that violates forum rules about the posting of complete stats and points, etc.

The eternal conundrum that can only be solved by multiple threads. Not sure what Dakkas rules for posting stats are.
Mine would be The Emperors Champion, back in the glory days of 3rd (or was it 4th) or else Space pope
Wait no, my Epistolary during last editon. Killed everything in my GW....I mean literally EVERYTHING

Not sure how a generic beatstick could be the best. The best character would be one that lends army-wide bonuses to armies that work far better with those bonuses.
DE need to go first. Sathronyx helps this happen.
For GK, Grand Strategy is pretty insane, as is making Purifiers troops.
Fateweaver giving units a reroll to their invul is huge.
Belial enables the most powerful Terminator army in the game.
A beatstick like Kharn, Ghazghkull, or Lysander...meh. Dime a dozen.

Marneus Calgar. His army-wide bonus gives the same benefit as Stubborn, but moreso.

Easily the Imperial Gaurd Company Command Squad.
It supports its friendly units incredibly well, it can restrict enemy reserves while empowering your own, and it can pack a tonne of firepower.

The only character I HATE is Scarius and its only because he is the biggest donkey cave in The universe.

Why do these threads keep coming up? We used to get one every couple weeks, now they're popping up like we're playing bad thread whack-a-mole.
For the record, Belial is stunningly mediocre, OP. His ability to make Terminators troops is cool, but as far as being a combat character he's so average it hurts.

A couple of points...
1. The purpose of the thread is to give a reason for your pick for best character. If you just name a character that counts as spam and can be penalised by the moderators.
2. Posting complete lists of stats and points is unnecessary and breaks the forum rule against posting complete lists of stats and points. I have removed all the stats given so far.
