What do you guys think? I think being ripped to shreds by a chain sword

Anything involving Dark Eldar.

Yeah they extend the pain pretty well, flesh gauntlets are probably up there.

being captured by Urien whatsizface of the dark eldar. nasty way to go.

Harlequin's Kiss must be pretty fun too

Being Virus bombed probably isn't merciful in any way. having your body decompose while still alive probably sucks.

Perils of the warp anyone? Utter terror until a Commissar puts a bolt in your head...

Tyranid weapons! They shoot beetles that crawl into your brain!

Vacuum of space. It's just absolute, uncaring death.

I would say Dark Eldar, but by the time they get around to killing you, they could take all week and it would still be sweet mercy.

Yeah, having your blood boil as your body slowly turns into jelly, then a gas, has to be horrible.

Being dragged off to Commoragh. About the fastest and least painful death possible in Commoragh would be being ripped limb from limb my a Clawed Fiend. The most painful doesn't bear to think about.

Your blood doesn't boil in space, and nor would you turn to jelly. Space is much, much colder than any planet, so you would freeze - eyes first most likely. The difference in pressure between your insides and out would mean you would simultaneously vomit, defecate, urinate and bleed from your nose (and other, delicate external organs). That said, unless you die of cold first - death by lack of oxygen isn't actually that painful. Your lungs would burn to begin with, but just before death your brain releases a massive surge of endorphins, so unless you froze to death you'd probably die giggling.

That's if you're lucky, some just eat the guts which is much slower.

Or gauss weapons which strip you atom by atom!

Killed by a Fire Warrior in melee combat. Not painful physically just emotionally.

A humiliating and badly-written death at the hands of Kaldor Draigo? Nobody deserves to go like that.

that would be painful!

Nurgles choisest plagues and mixtures. Hell, your immortal soul turns into a plague bearer more often than not...

Eldar D-Cannon seems pretty nasty.

You don't actually lose heat very quickly in space. There is no matter around you so heat can not be conducted or convected away from you. The only way to lose heat is through radiation, so it is doubtful that you would freeze before you die.

Having your flesh stripped off and some Super Acid poured onto your bare flesh...That's a Talos Pain Engine for you

, yeah that would be pretty bad, although it would be a close call between being killed by a Fire Warrior in CC, or by a grot at whatever.

Well then you would be in agony for about 30 seconds and then giggling for another 20 until death by asphyxiation killed you.

Speaking of which... well, simply put, Termi with Twin Lightning claws gets owned... in CC... by a firewarrior.

I agree, death by vacuum would be a horrible way to go.

My cote would have to go for something dark eldar or daemon related.

Probably having your testicles slammed in the hatch of a rhino by a primarch while being tickled by a venomthrope

Nom'd nom'd by rippers

Bio acid or Eviscerated by an ork

On the battlefield: Talos pain engine.

Outside of the battlefield: Anything releated to Dark Eldar. I heard they can keep their victims alive for centuries while eviscerating them over and over again.

Yeah that would do it. I once heard a story (don't know if true) that this guy playing rugby got his leg dislocated (bad enough) but when they popped it back in they got one of his testis caught in the socket! Apparently you could hear the screams for miles before he passed out. Any testi trauma is bad, be it Rhino hatch or whatever (not quite sure how you'd get them caught in a Rhino hatch though).
