Are we allowing old Codex? If so I'd say the deceiver. He ignores all saves can drop out of combat at will and should be able to curb stomp just about any thing is immune to ID weapons' ID effects and can move through all terrain.
If we arn't allowing old 'dex then I don't know.

De archon with blaster and how ever many other special items can be taken Automatically Appended Next Post: And off the back of that, what would you say to taking the archons court too...? They're not technically a unit due to only being available once an archon has been 'purchased', kinda like a wargear upgrade. Cheeky!

Necron overlord.
3 wounds, 2+/3++ saves, gets up on a 4+ and the first time he gets up he gets up with d3 wounds, ranged he gets a single shot str 10 ap 1 missle (infinite range), melee he gets a str 7 power weapon that roles 2d6+str for pen, makes you roll leadership under 3d6 every turn or attack yourself (and lose all attacks against him) And he can make you roll under your wounds or just be removed from play.
So anything in close combat with me is gonna be cheesed real hard, every almost ever single round of combat, and vs the vindicare i pretty much have a 50/50 chance of insta gibing him first turn if i see him unless he gets a cover save or something (I dont know his rules well), vs a lr same thing pretty much.

What about lillybeth halifax (the DE character who's name eludes me), she has a 4++, FnP, and some scary abilities. She may not have the resilience of some of these guys, but earlier this evening she smashed my Dante into pieces (and then proceeded to die to a krak missile to the face).

I'm going to vote with Vect here. he's WS8, has preferred enemy against everything, re-rolls to wound against eldar and De, has a power weapon that wounds on a 3+ against everything, has 7 attacks on the charge, I8, and a 2++. I'd say that's pretty good. His only downside is his low toughness and the potential of his shadowfield breaking. but that's where the I8 comes in.

I think a fully kitted Necron lord is the Winner. Esp, since the Mindshackle scarabs prevents the enemy from attacking you. So, you are hitting yourself, and getting hit with a Warscythe, while not doing anything back to the Lord. Pretty nasty. Take a wound or two, then Get hit by the Tesserect, which will remove you from play.

I'm saying Ghazzy, simply because he's surprisingly fast, EW, many wounds, high T, and has that 2++ save on the turn he charges you down. Yes, some of those faster vehicles might be a bit much, but he has a Big Shoota to try and peg them down, SnP don't trouble him too much with IC status, etc.
Alternately, I think a Warphead or SAGMek could make a pretty good showing, too. Most of the Warphead PSA are actually auto-hit, and he can teleport, or give 'imself Power weapons. SAGMek is just because of the ludicrous range and possibility of immense power.

Jebus, yeah I agree, how the hell do you beat one of these?! No, wait, I'll find it in another thread so I don't take this one OT... Definitely think the overlord wins though

Looking at the Daemons codex, im going to have to vote for the FateWeaver, the boon of mutation makes a model within 6' even if in CC take a T test, roll above there toughness or a 6 and they are gone, and he rerolls his failed sv, 3++
