Why the hell doesn't Gaunt have a special character............
Such a HUGE impact in the 40k universe and IG storyline, it's insane they don't have him yet. (Would he be a company commander or commish or both  )
He'd be an upgrade for Lord Commissar I think.

A Black Templar on orbital station or Ultramarine Terminator on ground ?
Either. The Black Templars demonstrate the Tau's complete weakness in close combat (not to mention their cowardice for disdaining it instead of trying to improve on it), while the Ultramarines show that even in ranged, properly-led Astartes can defeat the Tau. The only things I see that can fight Astartes on even terms (or something close to it) are CSM and Aspect Warriors.
Haha. you make me laugh.
Well, maybe elite Dark Eldar could, but I don't know mush about their fluff...

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.

The most metal fight in all of 40K.
I would want to be a Space Wolf Terminator being dropped via Thunderhawk into the ocean and drift downward to the bottom of the ocean, where I would wage an underwater war against battlesuits over a dome city.
Most. Metal. Fight. Ever.

@Coa: Guardsmen are not among the bravest beings in existance.
Your right, they are the bravest beings in the galaxy. They daily face enemies that would drive lesser men insane. They daily stand and fight against xenos built for war, against the corrupted demi gods of man, and against the very essense of Choas. With out the Humble guardsman , and his humble lasgun, the galaxy would have colapsed into total anarchy. The Guardsman are what stand between oblivion and the galaxy. They are the breavest soldiers in the galaxy. Name one other as brave. You cant. Orks, Necrons, Choas space marines, and regular space marines either are so crazy they cant feel fear, or are robots, or are psychconditioned to know no fear. Eldar, they see the future, and know when they will fall, so death isnt scary. Tau are among the bravest as well. Due to they fight alot of the same eneimes.
You bring up commissars, they are not just there to kill cowards, they are there to provide tactical advise and ensure the men do not fall to chaos. Their not the flanderized versions your thinking of.

Not one on one they can't. You'd have to seriously outnumber/out think them to beat them. And no loyal Guardsman would ever fire on a Space Marine. The Inquisition (and the Chapter) would have your head. But I agree. Guardsmen are the bravest not because they can't feel fear, but they feel fear and overcome it. Yes, there are cowards in each regiment, but that's what priests and commissars are for, to inspire/intimidate them into confronting their fear, or failing all else, to use them as examples. I like the Space Marines, but I will acknowledge and respect the Imperial Guard's courage and service to the Emperor.

Easy; Konrad Curze the Night Haunter.

Seconded. Those Dark Eldar really know how to have themselves a good time.
Vect's coup, in particular. Several Space Marine chapters humiliated, the streets filled with an exhilarating orgy of bloodshed and close-combat, the skies buzzing with attack craft and pulsing with defensive cannon fire, Vect's main rival killed via a giant starship ploughing his towering base into the ground... And Vect planned it all. Maximum entertainment, 100% success and the usurpation of command over an entire pocket dimension all in one fell swoop. And no karmic consequences whatsoever! Kind of makes Abaddon look like a total noob.
Boy, that crafty little Archon really does have it good, eh? ...Well, you know, for a completely immoral and sadistic monster, that is.
