What In your opinion is the greatest current chapter master. I mean not just strongest or capability in tactics but also in personality and general idea for the what needs to be done for the IOM.

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left? No one, Vulkan. None of them will come. You are simply not that important. You are alone.’ Konrad Curze to Vulkan

I lol'd.
I'm a bit of an Asterion Moloc fanboy. Awesome model, great fluff, and a pretty competitive stat line and rules as far as Chapter Masters go. I don't think many would want to tangle with him in a fight, especially since his fluff dictates that he and his chapter are employed pretty much exclusively to hunt down and kill other Space Marines.

Dante. Why? 2nd War for Armageddon. Dante turns up and the both Calgar and Tu'Shan asked him to take charge. I doubt that would happen for any other Chapter Master.

Calgar and Tu'Shan bowed to his seniority, of course he must be better than them because he is older than both of them combined.
However, back in 2nd edition (long before Ward came along) Calgar had a higher strategy rating than Dante, because altho Dante was older he generally favoured a less subtle, less thought out way of doing things.

I don't think second ed strategy ratings count for that much. In 2nd Ed, the space wolves lord Kyrl Grimblood had a strategy rating of 6. To this day, I'm still not sure why  Anyways for me - Grimnar = Favourite Dante = Greatest

The fanboi in me wants to say Stibor Lazaerek if he is alive and with his surviving Fire Hawks now known as the Legion of the Damned.
Aside from that, I'd say Grimnar or Dante even though I am a Dark Angels guy myself....Azrael just doesn't have the fluff to make him quite as awesome.
