What is your favorite character in 40k

Not so much a character in any fluff, but my favourite in rules is the Wraithseer.

Why? Because when my opponent asks me what he is, I can describe him as;

A Zombie-Space-Elf-Warrior-Robot-Wizard and be entirely accurate.

Extremely hard question to answer. There are so many interesting and cool character in 40K.

Probably Fulgrim.

Vulkan. Immortal, almost invincible demigod of war... Who does not really want to fight and just wants a happy life with his friends.

Vulkan is awesome.

My votes goes towards either Abbadon The Despoiler, Kharn The Betrayer or Lognar Grimnar alongside Ragnar Blackmane for obvious reasons

Vect, he's been pimping in the Dark City since before a Fething God! Also, since he likes you he got you a Birthday Present. Open it, go on, the card reads ''Happy Birthday ___ Hope you have a lovely day'', aren't you so happy? Go on, open it. *WHOOOSH!* He got you a Black Hole in a box! It's what you always wanted!

Prince Yriel, hes always been an interesting character, but with the Valedor novel expanding on his character I find myself enjoying him even more

Top five in no particular order (can't decide)

Captain Vandred, the Exalted - Survived for centuries on nothing but spite, and in the end one-upped a major daemon to go out doing what he loved.
Bjorn, the Fell Handed - Steals the show in a novel he is ostensibly the antagonist in.
Hound - He's a pathetic, hunched, blind slave. But that doesn't stop him from threatening a Space Marine at gunpoint.
Ciaphas Cain - Injects some much needed humor into an otherwise dry setting.
Delphian - So sinister. So cold. I always thought the Ad Mech (and Dark Mech) were some REALLY stupid fluff until him.

The Silent King. He has the expereience and knowledge of 60 million years and out dates any other being in the galaxy. The stories he could tell about the war in heaven, great sleep and all the way up to now would be amazing. he is a god in my eyes

Fuegan.

Any ork character really. Just feel the spirit with a single sentence from Kaptin Badrukk's story in 4 ed ork dex:
"Badly wounded and out of cigars, the Kaptin was forced to retreat."

Ciaphas Cain
Bjorn
Amberly Vail

In that order.

SANGUINIUS!

Gotta be either Sammuel (Ravenwing was a surprisingly good book imo) because of the whole Knight templar on a JETBIKE! thing he's got going.

Or Trazyn, purely for his old, cootish and entertaining personality.Trazyn is basically the Statler and Waldorf of 40k.

The main character from The Emperor's Gift (I forgot their names) are my favorite, since they're grey knights that are flawed and realistic, yet they still still awesome things.

Vulkan He'stan because he's a man with a specific mission despite knowing he's unlikely to live to see it through.

Gideon Ravenor because who doesn't like a powerful cripple?

Ahriman is getting pretty high on my list the more I learn about him. A more recent addition to the fluff that I really like is the Solitaire Motley, really got me interested in Harlequins in general. Of course, my selected chapter and avatar should indicate that Sanguinius is up there too.

Makari, the luckiest grot the ever lived (until, in a disappointing little snippet from the current white dwarf, ghazzy revealed that he sat on him).

Guardsman Julius Hawke, Hero of Hydra Cordatus. I just love that a disgraced burnout like him could become one of the most important soldiers on the Imperial side of the campaign by dint of luck and perseverance

Marbo as he is the chuck norris of the 40k universe
Colonel i bit a miral landshark's throat out Straken

Motley
Bjorn
Karandras

Mad Larkin, Roboute Sancrouf, Gunnery Sergeant Harker

Talos Valcoran, a night lord who basically tells abbaddon his crusades failed and then refuses the blessings of the ruinous powers to their faces. He also gives abbaddon a word or two about his crappy legion.

Alpharius/Omegon, Konrad Curze, pre-Heresy Fulgrim, Jago Sevatarion, Luther, Merir Astellan, Saul Tarvitz, Cypher, Nassir Amit, Janus.

Kharn. I heard he's a really swell guy. All seriousness, Kharn and Nathaniel Garro. Garro played an influential part in starting the Inquisition, and he fought the first plague marines aboard the Eisenstein, so gotta give the guy some recognition. And I dont know if you could count it as a character, but the bloodtide appeared to be sentient, and didn't like the destruction it caused, it was such a hero.

Captain ----> Colonel Tyborc

Pretty nice Kriegsman (!) responsible for the first breakthrough of the Imperial forces on Vraks.

Gets wounded a lot, then promoted, then pulls the same trick again at the end of the Siege.

Total in discrace, semi exiled in a respect, turns out to be vital to impirial defence having gained them a lot more time with the torpedo strike

Bjorn is pretty awesome, too, but he sleeps too much...
