Pustulating Plague Priest

I'm basing this off of the 5th codex, so I may get a few things wrong but I'd say techmarine/ master of the forge because:
- I'm not a very social guy, so I'd prefer the company of machines over battle brothers.
- Being in charge of working on the armory will likely allow me to be "creative" about the armory. (That heavy bolter needs more dakka! Give it three more barrels!)
- Less likely to have orders to go CC against a Carnifex. I'll just stick with a Thunderfire Cannon.
- Who said an extra 1-4 mechanical arms was a bad thing?

Crazed Spirit of the Defiler

Terminator sergeant. Of the assault variety.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Infiltrating Broodlord

Librarian was my obvious first answer because breaking the laws of reality is just far too good to pass up but once I fought off the temptation of UNLIMITED POWER, I figure I would probably be a Devestator Marine. Love me some big guns.
I would probably be a Plasma Cannon operator because the risk of being consumed in the fiery blast of my own self destructing weapon is worth the reward of seeing the Emperor's enemies consumed in a fiery blast containing the rage of a small sun.

if heresy I would choose RavenGuard Moritat, because I love gunslinging and going out in style.

This. Would be awesome. And the most interesting role for a spacemarine- exposure to new tactics, horrible xenos, inquisitors ect.
Horrific. But awesome

I'd go for Chapter Master, as the idea of being top dog obviously appeals, but you also get all the best amour and weapons and a choice at that. I also think I have quite a good mind for strategy so that would work well.
If I was not a commanding officer, then I'd be an Assault Marine as I don't have a particularly steady hand (wouldn't be great for shooting) and I'd be much better in the thick of it.

Cog in the Machine

A Motf, no doubt. Being an iron hands player even more so. I would probably end up being a more combat oriented one though, wielding my power axe and using my servo harness to crush the fools who dare to oppose the omnissiah.
A dreadnought would be cool too, but it would probably get annoying after a bit, lol

Blood Angel Terminator with Lightning Claws

YES! THIS!!! My only change would be: TWC with Frost SWORD and Storm Shield.
Plus, with my personality and leadership ability, i'd probably end up at least a Wolf Guard Battle Leader on Thunderwolf. Maybe even Wolf Lord.
Although, Wolf Scout does have an appeal to it as well. I'm a fantastic shot, so Camo Wolf Scout with a SM Sniper Rifle. Blowin' peoples' heads off since 30k

Hmmm I think driving a land raider around would be pretty boss. Plus I could get the "my other car is a land raider" bumper sticker I've always wanted.
If I can't afford the down payment on the LR I would probably enjoy being a brother captain in the Grey Knights. I think I'd really enjoy running around challenging daemon primarchs like a champ!
