I like Bjorn The Fellhanded
The fact that he is the oldest Space Marine still in the emperor's service is one reason to admire him.
Another is after 10'000 Years he still Kicks Arse like a young Blood Claw, though I think the time he has spent Entombed in a dreadnought is having an effect like old age on him.
Leading the Space Wolves in the defence of the Fang and standing toe to toe against Magnus the Demon Prince is another reason
A truly great hero of the Imperium and the Space Wolves Legion

Androgynous Daemon Prince of Slaanesh

Fully decked out unit of Initiate honor guard for BT led by Grimaldus, Helbrecht and 3 Tech Marines loaded down. You can put out a whopping, oh, I don't know...like 80 freaking preferred enemy attacks, a bunch with power weapons, a bunch with power fists (lots of tech marine 'fists') and a bunch of ablative wounds plus Grimaldus not staying dead. Gross? Yeah. Expensive beyond belief? Yup. You won't be fielding anything else-of course it'll end up being a 23 man unit, and it'll be a tank.

My favorite units all have eviscerators.
Whether it's a 60-year old man using a 12-foot long chainsaw sword to break open a land raider in a single blow, or Kharn, who, whether shooting or chopping ALWAYS HITS (...someone).
I suppose then my favorite unit would have to be the one with the highest concentration of eviscerators - the sister repentia squads.

"Are you going to spank me?"

That is the coolest-looking model in 40k, and were it not for my friends convincing me that SoB was a terrible idea, I would have gotten into 40k with a SoB army. Thankfully, I chose Necrons right in the middle of 5th Ed. instead!

Imotekh is up their.....if cutting off someones hand and kicking them off a cliff isn't a big "F.U" I don't know what is.
Than their Ghazzy, the monster of Armageddon! Prophet of Gork and Mork! Oh, and he beat Yarrick and than let him leave because he was a good fight.
Gabriel Angelos, chapter master of the Blood Ravens. Smashing Daemon princes in the face with a thunder hammer.
But I think my favorite person(s) in 40k..............That spot goes to the Ork boyz, coming in a massive horde, yelling and shooting in the air. Generally messing things up for the sheer hell of it.

Not sure actually I rather have a myriad of units I like, it determines which armies I play and which I don't. There's probably at least one unit per codex I like.

Don't forget to staple on some purity seals. That's the only way to ensure against heresy.

Space Marine Dreadnought with an assault cannon. Not the best unit by far but I love the idea of a dead soldier entombed in a walking tank with a giant minigun mowing down lines of soldiers.

Confessor Of Sins

Personally, I think mine would have to be Eldar Howling Banshees.
I love the models, and I love what they do in-game. It's also nice to see men stuffing their armor above the waist instead of below for once - you don't really think that Space Marines need all that bulging crotch armor, do you?
In every, EVERY Eldar list I field, I find room for at least one unit of them, preferably a big one. They are the only unit in my Eldar army that have any painted models - discounting my old Striking Scorpion Exarch I bought and painted years ago purely because it looked cool, and have yet to use. Also have an old Banshee Exarch with the double-bladed, sturdier-looking Executioner that I'll probably repaint. 'Right now she's got grey armor, not the more traditional bone-colored stuff my 2 1/2 painted Banshees do - can't fully count my second Exarch, as I swapped out her Mirrorswords for an Executioner and haven't painted it yet.
In Dawn of War: Soulstorm, I've gone on skirmish as Eldar and fielded nothing but Banshees and Wraithlords - the Wraithlords were to use up my vehicle population and worked well against flyers - plus an Avatar. It was surprisingly effective against the enemy Orks.
Edited for clarity.
