Hi guys,
The other day, me and some friends were having a conversation and someone brought up the manliest tank topic.
We then decided to find the maniest character.
So, you decide

Lysander. Fought his way out of an Iron Warriors fortress world in his underwear.

mephiston. punched a whole clean through an ork.

No fancy witch powers. No fake implants to give him strength. He's nothing but pure, 100% manliness.

Other whimps need to rely on enhancements. Harker relies only on his machine gun.

Gabriel Angelos: Makes Daemon Princes his bitches, and survives a super-massive gumba-stomp from the largest Daemon Prince known to mankind, and still gets gak done.

PS: he doesnt have fancy-pants PF with ap 2 bolters strapped on, all he has is a hammer and his hair-esy

It's Leman Russ, you guys.

He met the emperor, and challenged him to a drink-off, then a fight.

It's Leman Russ.

Creed......He is a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in riddles, lovingly sprinkled with intrigue, express mailed to Mystery, Alaska, and LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! but it is too late. You're dead. That BaneBlade wasn't there before was it?
His sheer manliness can overpower basic laws of physics.

Draigo, he fights daemons in the warp and snorts warp dust from daemonette hookers!

Lucius the Ethernal always finds a way to penetrate your rear armour!
wait, he's pink....

I would vote for Yarrick, after having his arm torn off he didn't use shiny bionics for pansies!

Marbo, seriously its Ranbo but instead if fighting pansies he kills off entire terminator squads just cause he walked onto the battle field.

Others need enhancements/armour/heavy weapons...not marbo he need a grenade, pistol, combat knife, and fatigues.

What's behind the hive fleet driving them into this galaxy? Marbo!

Ibram Gaunt

After today's game I'd say my Chimera driver. When lascannons and plasma guns fail the armour of the Imperium will strike Ghazghkull down.

Vect, What is more manily then driving around in a super pimped out 'car' blowing stuff up all the while having a slave girl bending down and...shining your shoes *hint hint*.

Vect wins. Vect always wins.

Has to be either Yarrick or Lysander. No doubt in my mind, I mean Yarrick can stand back up after he dies... And well, Lysander doesn't die haha, he just bears up dreadnoughts by the pair and get charged by terminators while he does that and than kills them too.

+1 for Marbo. I'm a Space Wolves player, and even I'd vote for Marbo over Leman Russ.

Yarrick. He had his own eye replaced with a frickin laser just to live up to his own hype. He's like that aging boxer that might not be able to win, but just won't stay down! He gets my vote.

Another +1 for Marbo.

Ollanius Pius.

Ain't no-one manlier, or deader..

Swarmlord nothing says manly like a giant alien with 4 arms with swords made of bone

Fixed that for you..

Non-humans tend to get voted out as automatically non-manly in these threads, usually because they have a better claim than the humans. Ork tanks, for example, are massively manlier than IOM ones, but were said to be unmanly because orks weren't men ...got figure

A bog standard guardsman.
It takes balls of steel to go into battle wearing cardboard armour and armed with a laser pointer.

How has no one mentioned Kharne? That guy doesn't even need armor on his dang arms. He wears Chains instead of armor! And he kills things, all things. Plus, using psychic powers is unmanly (because Eldar are unmanly), so Kharne doesn't put up with that crap. Kharne came back to life, just because he's so dang manly. He took off his arm plates by flexing. He wears bunny ears, and still cuts your damn head off. The Old Spice Deoderant cans come in red, as homage to Kharne. Kharne is the manliest man in the universe.

Warning: The only thing that can out-man Kharne is the Doom of Malan'tai, but only men can be manly.

DOOOOOOOOOOOMRIDER!

The rockstar of 40k. Gets all the tang and cocaine he wants, and his flipping head is on fire. From doing to much sex and cocaine.

Nuff said boys.

The only correct answer is Yarrick.

Not steroid-pumping Catachans like Harker, nor the "Totally not compensating for anything" Space Wolves, not a Mary Sue like Draigo, just a grizzled old man who exhudes so much latent manliness he could suffocate a Void Whale, with no special powers, who might lose sometimes, but will always endure, never backing down.

I gotta go with Straken. A leader in the frontlines getting dragged out of the battlefield again and again and just keeps going back.

This was discussed in the manliest tank topic. Vect's 'car' has a spoiler. It's not manly. Also, pimp /=/ manly. He's definitely badass though.

Sly fugging Marbo.

i'd say mephiston since he wiped out an ork warband in his underwear, but he's a blood angel... you can't get anymore metrosexual...

I'd say angelos or harker.

Marbo.

All other answers are heresy
