Link looks a bit sketchy, I know, sorry about that. I felt a bit nervous too clicking on it the first time but it's Web of Trust page and reviews put it in the clear for me http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/us.akinator.com?utm_source=addon&utm_content=rw-viewsc.
Back on topic, this nifty program has you think of a character (from anything) and guesses at what it could be in a "20 Questions" style. I decided to see if it could guess at some Warhammer characters, and settled on Marneus Calgar. To my surprise it guessed right! (Well, first it said the God-Emperor of Mankind, but it got Calgar on its second guess). I tested it again to see if it would work for Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, and indeed it did!
Anyways, I decided to share it here so my fellow Dakkaites can waste some time on it (and teach it a thing or two about the 41st millenium!)
Edit: Horus too, damn!

That's been around a while. I don't know why you think it looks sketchy. In any case, it can guess basically any character.

I'm not sure either, just something about the look of the URL and the page's layout gave me bad vibes. But then again, I see heresy in everything these days...

He nailed the Emperor in 10 questions, Creed in 20, his first guess was Marneus Calgar.

Got Abbadon the Despoiler right on the first try and Ciaphas Cain on his second try. Lets go for someone a tad more obscure, perhaps Ferrus Manus. Couldn't guess Manus, but guessed the Emperor, Dorn, and Lion.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

It took 4 guesses to get Cato Sicarius

in Inquisitor, a Space Marine can take a krak grenade, pull out the pin, eat the grenade, throw the pin, and the thrown pin will actually kill a normal man, whereas the Space Marine won't even have indigestion. This has actually happened in a game. Hell, a marine can throw his bolt shells and do more damage than by shooting his boltgun |

Was able to guess Vect on the third try, pretty good. Did Sisters of battle, although it took two go arounds. Matt Ward in 3 tries.
