Khorne? Pfft. Khorne's a wuss. I heard that in the new GK codex Draigo totally shouryukens Khorne right off his throne, so then Khorne and all his daemons have to go find a new home. Luckily Nurgle lets them set up shop in a corner of his burned out garden (which was burned down by Draigo btw) as long as he helps out with the rent (Draigo threatened to evict Nurgle if he didn't start paying rent). Still, Khorne had to start over his Skull Throne from skull one.

Knew someone would say that. The psychic energy from the entire Waagh! probably messed with the Emperor's powers. At least that's what I tell myself...

The problem with this comparison is: what do you mean by Greatest Warrior?

Marneus Calgar is a beast, but he is probably best known as a Leader and Inspiration.

The Swarmlord is basically immortal and can domiante most in close combat, in addition to his indominatable control of his army. He might even be a first except...

Well, the C'Tan are Gods. And though they aren't Invincible like perhaps the Chaos Gods are, but they easily dominate and destroy anyone else on the list, even at partial power.

Also up for major contention is...well, ANY of the 10,000 year old veterans in the ranks of the Chaos Space Marines. Powerful captains of the Heresy that have had 10,000 years of practice and experience in the warp and many are probably Demon Princes by now, making them as powerful as a "mortal" can get, with some (Angron, Petrubo, etc.) rivaling the C'Tan on SOME level.

So, yeah, it's all a matter of what qualifications you're really looking for. Like, the Deceiver is a C'Tan, but his power comes from manipulation. Angron is a Demon Prince AND a Primarch, but probably doesn't lead as well as say, Dante or Calgar or Abaddon.

Thats ancient fluff iirc not to mention we have no idea how beast this warboss was, for all we know he could make Ghazkhull look like a grot by comparison ... and you make it sound like primarch's were regular infantry or something

Elite Tyranid Warrior






High Wycombe

No, it's gotta be my imperial fist with meltagun, just that one model. He had his razorback and his whole squuad blown away so he charged forward and subsequently shot down a land speeder, a thunderwolf cavalry guy and immobilised a vindicator. He was then chharged by a thunderwolf but held out for two turns until a rune priest and 10 skyclaws turned up, so he sacrificed himself ordering a vindicator to fire at a nearby squad and scatter onto him killing about half the skyclaws and the thunderwolf and unfortunately my marine. Although a C'tan may be better, I bet you none of your heroes or warriors have ever made back their point worth that many times over. Only downside is that I don't want to use him anymore because if he fails then his legacy will be over.

I play:
Imperial Fists - 9000 pts
Tyranids - 1500 pts
