Overlord should win this, hands down. That build is perfect for 1-on-1 combat. Str 10 to insta-gib characters, labyrinth for MC, 2+/3++, Str 7 power weapon, MSS...

I nominate:
Kaldor Draigo
Ghazghkull
Saint Celestine
Logan Grimnar

It seems like an easy call - Ghazghull has better stats all around. More attacks, same toughness, higher WS, more wounds, higher strength...and I'm actually going to give this one to Fateweaver.

Fateweaver has a 3+ invul that he can reroll if he fails. Ghaz needs to deal an average of 9 wounds to get 1 through. Being a Daemon, Fateweaver also has Eternal Warrior.

Neither character is good at killing the other. Ghazghull would need roughly 9 rounds to kill Fateweaver, assuming Fateweaver passes all of his Ld checks (likely to pass). Fateweaver needs 8 rounds to kill Ghazghull, outside of his two 2++ turns (assuming he deals 0 wounds during those two turns - Ghaz can still roll a 1). So basically 9-10 rounds for each character to kill the other...plus Fateweaver hits first in every round. Plus Fateweaver has better shooting. Plus he can fly.

The main reason, however, I'm going with Fateweaver is just because of Boon of Mutation. A 6 always fails the toughness test and with the fight going on for 9-10 rounds, Ghazghull has 4 or 5 chances to roll that 6. For those who don't know, Fateweaver can force Ghazghull to take a Toughness test every game turn. If he fails, he's removed as a casualty. No saves. No Eternal Warrior. It can be used in combat.

Swarmlord wins this one...he has more attacks, higher WS, more wounds, higher initiative, has psychic powers. Strength and toughness don't matter. A slightly better save (4++ is better than a 3++ with the reroll).

I'm also a bit confused as to how the winner is determined. If it's nothing but voting, why was there talk of a "24x24 board with average terrain"?
