Well, simple fact is- No one is immortal
Daemons of all kinds are beings of the Warp and only exist as long as there are Warp-fueling beings (Humans/Eldar) to make the warp continue
Celestine, Yarrick and Thawn can all be killed but are currently protected by plot armour. Thawn's fluff mentions he will die defending the Emperor at the end times
Lucius only respawns if the killer takes pleasure. I take a Kharn the Betrayer or Necron Warrior legion to him and he is not getting up.

No, Yarrick literally is immortal as long as there are Orks to believe it.

Where does it state Ork's believe he is immortal? Haven't seen it in the Ork or Guard codex.

He is the 40k equivalent of your racist grandfather who breaks his leg and then decides to walk down the shops screaming "I'm fine, I lived through the war!!! No doctor is coming near me!!!"

In the warp, searching for Marbo
|
Commissar Ciaphus Cain...I mean HE MADE IT TO RETIREMENT...then was pulled out of retirement and
*story spoilers below !
He then went back into retirement and died peacefully of natural causes after spending around 200yrs of ending up in the enemies backdoor, and through sheer luck (and the Emperors graces) survived impossible odds...cuz that's who he is. He's also forever listed as On active duty because the admin got tired of filing paperwork whenever he supposedly died.
|
After all these years of searching for Marbo...he found me. Heretics beware! He's back! |

Ghazzy, he took a BULLET TO THE HEAD, also i dont know why people are saying Yarrick is Immortal, I havent read any where that orks believe him to be immortal, but they find him to be an immensely good enemy.

Gamewise? Eldrad. Eldrad never dies. I have not had Eldrad take more than one wound a game in like a dozen games. Fortuned 3++ lives forever, and he is a surprising boss in challenges.
Shame that fluffwise he's probably dead.

Maugen Ra, that guy is a boss.
Wolf Lord Bulveye of the 13th Company is pretty boss too, 10,000 years in the warp, chasing down traitors and still not covered in fur.

If we are talking comedy, then how about Kaldor Draigo?
Kills a daemon prince on his first mission, Carves his predecessors name into the heart of Mortarion and banishes him, solo's a bloodthirster and turns its axe into a sword for himself.
Also he is apparently currently trapped wandering the warp but is apparently totally cool with the whole situation (whaaa?!?!?!??!) . He spends his days trolling the Chaos gods, setting fire to their flowers (Nurgle) or throwing bricks through their window (Tzeentch).
(Just to clarify, this isnt mindless rage/hate, I just find his fluff genuinely amusing due to the amount of times it contradicts existing lore etc. I know 40k does this all the time, but the amount Kaldor does it is almost impressive!  )

Simple. He's happy being in the warp because he's hiding from Marbo, and since Marbo can never die Hell is the one place where he can't demo charge you.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

Not even hell can stop Marbo from killing who he wants to kill.

Ciaphas Cain...the guy should have died a dozen times already.
Phoenix Lords of course.
Eldars have weaponry capable of snuffing out stars. They are not above extinguishing a sun to recover an armor.
Bjorn...I mean the guy is STILL kicking.
Wonder what would happen if Lucious got killed by a Necron?
No feelings, no pity, no pride no nothing. Would he come back?

Ajac Rockfist is a favorite of mine. In the fluff he took on a horde of Kraken and survived. In game he lives much longer than those 2 wounds would realistically allow.
Have him in a squad of Grey Hunters with a wolf banner and it gets crazy rediculious what he will survive through.

Chalice-Wielding Sanguinary High Priest

In-game: Lysander. Not quite the toughest to kill stat-wise, but being able to sit with a unit of Hammernators gives him the survivability edge over bigger nasties that can't join units.
And hell, the model even looks like a Land Raider would flip over if it tried to run him over :p *pictures the scene and can almost hear the almighty THUNK*

Vect, the original Pimp is still rolling around in the pimp mobile giving papa smurf the finger. Having survived since before the fall he is possibley the oldest thing alive that isn't some sort of god. Also rumoured to be Marbo, or is Marbo rumoured to be him???
P.S Getting a blowie from a slave girl while blowing up sh*t, he wins.

Urien Rakath.
Old enough to remember the Fall, and quite likely he arranged it in the first place.
The guy treats being killed as a recreational activity for when he gets bored.
In game - tough to shift, and a beehotch to kill in a challenge for many foes
In Fluff - Sadistic old sod just keeps ticking..
