Even though I'm a cron guy I'd say that lysander and the hive tyrant are most bad ass.

Bloodthirster.

Badass as in the way they look? My money goes to Captain Tycho of the Blood Angels.

Badass in personal combat? I say Hive Tyrant of the Tyranids.

Badass in the dynamite they bring to your army? Vulkan He'Stan of the Salamanders.

The living manifestation of the Emperor's will and wrath sounds pretty badass to me, even if her model looks like she's trying to bring peace to the galaxy instead of purging it of heresy.

Seriously, she has a dove in one hand and a bouquet of roses or something on her sword's hilt.

See? Angelic, yes. But an Angel of Peace.

The Necron player in me wants to say Varguard Obyron, but I just can't ignore Kharn and the tales of his badassery.

Kaldor Draigo.

Dat fluff.

These days, any necron lord with MSS...

The Swarmlord. Kicks anything's ass in melee. Even a MSS lord isn't safe, although he has the best chance of anyone.

Samel Master Of The Ravenwing for Dark Angels is pretty good. I love the jet bike, and the Dark Angels are the only chapter that still owes one of these relics. Its Pretty Cool.

Imotekh.

He makes it rain.

Ghazzy.

None badassier except maybe Yarrick.

Granted the rules no longer really reflect his baddassery, but he's still badass.

Lelith for sure. Bikini Kabalite Armor that still confers the save through the magic of hotness, a million knives, and in-game is a brutal lady to match her wicked looking finecast (no pun intended).

Runners up would probably be Azrael for just being a huge bada$$, a second vote for Celestine (and Pouncey, in that picture she could be destroying the dove as a symbol of her coming not-so-peace-bringing) and no Tau HQ ever.

Lord Commissar.

Because in the Imperial Guard, leadership is determined by the guy with the most badass hat and the biggest stick.

Second place goes to a Biker Warboss, if only because of how ridonculously awesome the idea of an 8 foot tall ork with a massive klaw powered by a V16 engine surfing into battle on a bike more heavily armed than most tanks is.

Fixed it for ya.

Anyways, the most badass HQ is the imperial guard priest with eviscerator. You take a 60 year old man, and give him a 12-foot-chainsaw-sword, and with nothing more than the power of hatred, cuts a land raider in half.

In-game: Coteaz
Awesomeness factor: Not sure... Maybe... Mephiston? His fluff is pretty badass
