Who is this Andrej? And this Sgt. Bastonne? I have no idea about so many people posted here.

Andrej is someone from Helsreach, Bastonne is a SC from the IG Codex.

Wow... you people make me realise how little I actually know about 40k canon.

Helsreach... book, right?

There's so many characters I'm fond of. More for the fluff than the gameplay.

Huron Blackheart/Lugft Huron
Garviel Loken
Tarik Torgaddon
Nathaniel Garro
Alpharius Omegon
Eristede Kell
Jenniker Solam
Ahzek Ahriman
Magnus the Red
Saul Tarvitz
Mersadie Oliton
Khârn
Gregor Eisenhorn
Lorgar Aurelian

Who are all of those people? I know Magnus, Huron, Ahriman, Kell, Garro, Eisenhorn, Khârn, and Omegon bu who are the characters in the list that I have not mentioned?

Garviel Loken - 10th Captain of the Luna Wolves before Horus initiated the Heresy. He's the main character in the first three HH books (Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy In Flames).
Tarik Torgaddon - 2nd Captain of the Luna Wolves before Horus initiated the Heresy. He's a big character in the first three HH books.
Jenniker Solam - Venenum Assassin who was sent to assassinate Horus in the book, Nemesis.
Saul Tarvitz - Captain of the Emperor's Children before Horus initiated the Heresy. He's big in the first three HH books.
Mersadie Oliton - Personal Remembrancer of Loken during the first three books of the Horus Heresy.
Lorgar Aurelian - Primarch of the Word Bearers.

Drazhar: Probably the Striking Scorpions Phoenix Lord, but I love how the other Dark Eldar view him- an executioner, never given an official ranking. Barely even acknowledges the other Dark Eldar, but consistently fights with them for the right price. He has to be one of the most mysterious characters in 40k- it's very likely that he's Arhra (you can even spell 'Arhra' from the letters of 'Drazhar'), but there's no real inclination of WHY he turned his back on the Craftworlds, where he disappeared to, what he did while he was missing, or why he is back now. (That, and 6th edition made him not-useless again, thank god for 2+ saves and AP2 melee weapons).

Asmodai: DA Interrogator-Chaplains are already scary enough, but Asmodai is portrayed so well in the older codex. Honestly, if you were captured in 40k I don't know what's worse- interrogated by Asmodai and the Blades of Reason or handed over to Rakarth in Commorragh

Would totally play Dark Angels if I didn't have 5k of BA, and I'd have said that long before we knew about a new Dex- always liked them and I'm glad they're getting a new Codex to breathe some life back in.

I'm also starting to read the HH books, and Loken is quite an interesting character. Seeing how Abaddon was before the heresy is interesting as well.

Jeez, I didn't even know Abaddon was alive before the Heresy... what's he like?

Abbadon was Captain of the First Company of the Sons of Horus, and a member of the Mournival

Nathaniel Garro from the Death Guard is also impressive by is force of will...

I see people saying marbo /thread

Surely you mean Scout Sargent Mkoll /thread

Saint Celestine, for the model. Loved her model so much that I was using her even in the Witch Hunters Codex.

Then I made it even better by giving her a Sanguinary Guard jump pack with the angel wings in place of her halo and cherub-hoisted cloth backdrop. As a bonus, it also made the model lighter and improved its balance.

And these days, I include her in every list I make, cause she's an Ork-murdering slaughterhouse. It's especially fun when she gets close to an Ork mob, torches a bunch, kills a few in melee, dies, pops back up, and rinse and repeat.

Sometimes I get unlucky with the intervention rolls and she stays down for most of the game, but in general she's a killing machine.

I have to say I really like Trazyn the Infinite. Say what you will about Matt Ward but a 60 million year old Robotic version of Indiana Jones with a penchant for trapping Inquisitors in devices designed to hold star gods is a delightful character.

Night Haunter
Skarbrand
Khan (even though I'd like more work done on him)

From a purely gameplay perspective though I like Keradruakh or Kor'sarro Khan

Anval Thawn.

Who is he?

A GK Justicar.

Soul Hunter / Talos for making chaos space marines sympathetic and compelling characters without being ridiculous. and for making the Night lords legion even better than it already is.

Lorgar Aurelian for the way his character falls from arguably the most loyally devoted to the Emperor to the first spark in the emperors betrayal, and for being in charge of the best and one of the most effective post heresy chaos legions, the Word Bearers.

Vect for being the master manipulator and cunning, brutal warlord that exemplifies what it means to be a Dark Eldar

Lady Malys for her cunning and willingness for sacrifice, no matter the cost, just to bring Vect down.

Kharn for being a true example of what it means to be a follower of Khorne

Ollanius Pius (Before know no fear) for having the gigantic, titanium balls to stand before Horus, knowing full well he would die, but doing it anyways.

Trayzn for being hilariously troll-tacular on tabletop and in fluff

Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt for being the awesome commander of the First and Only.

Forgot the h kheradruakh....dark eldar mandrake character

fluff wise

Ragnar Blackmane (I got into 40K due to his model and fluff when i started 2nd edition) such a handsome chap
Bjorn the Fell handed
Logan grimnar

Why fluff wise? Have you never fieldsed them before?

I think I could add Bran Redmaw and Vaer Greyloc (The Battle Of The Fang) to my list. Redmaw is awesome at turning into a 12 foot werewolf with a bitchy statline and that's before you even count in the rules.
I've even made a model for Greyloc and a proxy/conversion will suit Bran until the FW release (whenever that will be- 2 years since he was last seen in public...).

Mine would have to be Shas'o R'ymr and Aun'Shi.

My top 5 are:
1. Logan Grimnar
2. Arjac Rockfist
3. Aun'va
4. Eldrad ulthwe
5. Kairos fateweaver

Lord Kaldor Draigo

Aun'shi, definetly.

Are YOU a Space Wolf too?

Andrej the Stormtrooper

...Most named Gaunt's Ghosts (particularly Gaunt, Korbec, and Rawne), I really like those books and the characters

Grimaldus

Come on, are there absolutely NO Orks here?

Probably, their characters are all so dull though.
