Straken's pretty awesome too. Although for some reason a ton of IG Commanders are dragging regular rank-and-file troops halfway across continents...

IG is always going to suffer in the hero department in that respect. It's easy (ish) to imagine a Space Marine Commander, or great Eldar Farseer, leading a small amount of troops into battle as part of some spearhead or other, but Imperial Guard generals are the commanders of thousands/millions of men, and are basically just men themselves. There's no logical reason for CCSs to have 3 wounds, for example.

Didn't that thread end with the conclusion that you do not get another Celestine as she wasn't removed from play by an "attack"?

I dunno, I gave up on it halfway through. Most YMDC threads go downhill after the first page or two. If it hasn't been resolved by then, it just gets ugly.

I started using him about 2 months ago and really found myself unable to stop using him, he's got exactly the wargear I like and his rites of battle and other rules are fantastic. He's a legacy hero from previous editions and I hope he lives on in 6th.

Playwise, Anrakir the Traveler. Insane melee all by himself. Put him in a catacomb command barge and he is an army in his own right. Game against tau - flew over a vehicle, made it explode. Unloaded, shot arrow. Killed a Battlesuit. Assaulted. 5 attacks with warscythe. Killed 3 battlesuits. I arrest my case.

Id simply cut off some battle sister heads and slap those on. since those guard uniforms make it impossible to distinguish between male and female from a distance anyways 
There used to be a couple of kits some years ago that actually had a few female guard models in them. but sadly those have long since vanished.
and yes we'd definately need a jurgen model too. though a regulair melta toting guard model would suffice in a pinch

You'd need to greenstuff loads of pockets and pouches on. Probably have him holding a mug of Tanna for Cain as well.

My favorite HQs always have some high-risk thing they can do that is awesome. For example, cato sicarius can forgo his regular attack and do a single death blow, and a chaos sorcerer with gifts will possibly kill himself, and possibly remove a model of your choice (that isn't kharn) from play, or kharn, who maybe kills everything of your opponent, and maybe kills everything of yours. Likewise, guard eviscerator priest run the gambit between dying horribly and blowing up a land raider with contemptuous ease.
Of course, "favorite" and "best" are often dissimilar...
