Who, in fluff, is the best at Gladiatorial style hand to hand combat? No ranged weapons would be permitted. My guess would be Sigismund of the Black Templar, but I've been pondering the question for a while and would really like to hear some others opinions.

And no Primarch's or other god-like beings. Try and keep it at just your standard human/humanoid mortal.

Lilith Hesperax. It´s her job to be the best gladiator in a world full of loonies....

My vote goes for mad dok grotsnik. Dat Mad Doc beat up a titan! (my last apoc game...epic final round moment!)

Lilith. She ignores all armor just because of how good she is.

Lilith Hesperax. /thread

Swarml-oh no monsters. Yeah, Lillith.

Lilith that's what she does. Also the enemy would be distracted by her hotness lol.

Lilith. It's what she is named for in the fluff.

Draigo...

Since when was Draigo a gladiatorial combatant? xD

Sure, he would beat lelith on the tabletop, because of the termie armour and power shield. But not in an arena xD

You're having a thread about the ultimate gladiators and we can't include Angron? That's like having a thread about the best green skinned race of aliens and not allowing Orks.

Lucius Pre Heresy VS Lilith would be a hard choice

Angron was a primarch though. I thought we couldn't include primarchs.

But yeah he was world-famous gladiator before his super crazy primarch stage.

However, Lillith is an intergalactically well-known gladiator who wins in the gladiator pits of Commoragh where all manner of opponents are captured and put forward.

The Emperor man. Best in the fluff, hands down, at fighting hand to hand/mind to mind.

Edit: No primarchs/super human beings? DRAT.

Kaldor Draigo. He has plot armor, and thus can never be bested in a dramatic final showdown/gladiatorial match.

I don't see how he can keep up with Lilith.

Surely you jest. This guy brings down Daemon PRIMARCHS and their entire bodyguard single-handedly. He could incinerate the entire arena with a thought. He keeps up with keepers of secrets so he can keep up with her.

Lelith is pretty awesome though.

And also the most scantily clad SC in all of 40k. Without so much as a pair of shoes.

One wonders what purpose her leggings serve though.

Thraka. Gazkghul mag urk thraka.

Oh if he's legal then the Swarmlord.

My Tyranid can beat up your Ork any day of the week.

That's how she gets that sweet 6+ armour save, also "She isn't naked, she's wearing leggings!".

She's already wearing a bikini of evil.

She is even less naked then! By fantasy/sci-fantasy/sci-fi character design standard, she is considered fully clothed*!

Essentially went from to !

*Which would explain why she got such a weak armour save as well! (May be NSFW?)

Kharn the betrayer

Gets his head chopped off by the swarmlord before he takes two steps.

If we're letting aliens in this discussion, then a daemon prince. Otherwise abbadon will take everyone lunch money.

Iron Arm Swarmlord kills the Daemon Prince and then beats up Abaddon.

Ephrael Stern.

She beat up Lelith* in the comic. In an arena in commoragh.

*Not explicitly, just a Succubus who looked a lot like Lelith.

An Inquisitor.
Declares exterminatus on the arena.

Until they see her man-face.
Brrrrrrr....
textbook case of the face wrecking the whole deal.

But she is the best gladiator in the DE arenas (as stated by the their codex)
