A very high-ranking Necron elite. Preferably an important named one.

My first order of business after transference would be to head to the celestial orrery. Not to cause havoc, not to destroy anything - but to lay my digital peepers on the GREATNESS THAT IS THE SINGLE MOST POWERFUL OBJECT IN THE GALAXY.

I would observe the Crypteks for thousands of years, just for the privilege of watching them prune a star even once.

A extraordinarily powerful Khorne Lord with a Sigil of Corruption.
Blood for the Blood God, Baby!
Failing that, the Fabricator Locus of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Knowledge is power, guard it well.

Id be a chapter master with my own Agriworld/Garden World in the heart of the imperium. every now and then id send out a couple of companies to kill some orks or whatnot maybe send the odd squad to cadia as a display of unity and say we are "spread too thin" to contribute any real numbers.

once every 10 years or so i would launch a full scale chapter assault at a planet with a few tyranids on it (nothing too major) just to show the imperium that we are serious!!.

in my free time i would tend to my many fish and water the orchids. maybe take up knitting and just chill out. might pop down to the local merchant system and scare the gak out of everyone whilst buying some new interesting and alien fish.

i might even hold a tournement where local warriors can come to try to beat me in a skill of their choice. if they win they are allowed to live in the hall of champions on my planet and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury. if they lose they die... simple...

Oh what i a life. if the inquisition asks why my chapter dont do as much fighting as others i will simply answer with the fact that we are seeing how long a space marine lives for!

definately an iron warriors deamon prince/ warsmith
laying siege to stuff and even if you get killed you can be brought back to life.

The only true answer is to be Alpharius. I could be the fabricator general one day, before shipping off to planet madeupius 5 where I could relax in the quarters of the governor, only to engineer circumstances that lead the planet into revolt, allowing my cell and I, to take a now undefended planet in the nearby nonexistant sector. Followed by of course subverting an ork waaagh the following Tuesday afternoon while leaving a trail of clues to pique the interests of any Xeno inquisitor, baiting him/her into my trap, and stealing their identity or replacing them with a loyal minion.

A pie vendor on some dirty backwater outpost.

You just gotta aim high and have a goal.

I dunno man, that kinda character tends to be the guy who gets eaten by the lictor in the first few pages of a BL book

A pleasure world ? Is that some kind of planet-sized brothel ?

Goodbye, universe.

Emperor will just kill the dragon....

Corpses can't fight back, plus the Emperor in his full power almost lost against the Void Dragon and could barely contain, not even kill him. Plus reawakened Necrons etc =)

The Emperor is dead and while his spirit might fend off the warp, the warp is of zero interest to the C'tan.

Uh, the Emperor whipped the arse of the Void Dragon while wearing platemail and wielding an iron sword. Care to try again?

uh, the emperor is dead. as in, in a throne, cant move. cant pick up an iron sword, cause he is broken. care to try again?

I would be a terminator. preferably a captain.
"im sorry what? I cant here you over the sound of how awesome I am!"

You don't need hands when you can pick up an iron sword with your mind and proceed to beat a starving god silly with it.

However, the point being, the last time they fought, the Emperor was living on Terra in M1 and beat the piss out of the Void Dragon with an iron sword, while dressed in pre-medieval armor, and then dragged the Void Dragon to Mars on a horse.

I would be Alpharius. Or maybe I already am Alpharius disguised as Alpharius pretending to be Omegon while lying to an Inquisitor that I'm actually Alpharius. When in reality I would be on another planet as Alpharius disguised as Roboute Guillimann pretending to be a regular Space Marine fighting for the Greater Good and acting as a double agent for the Dark Eldar.

Life is fun when you're Alpharius.

I want to say a Chaos Lord, you get power, luxury, gifts from the warp. Unfortunately, all of those can backfire so fast you wouldn't even realize before some former 2nd company sgt runs up and lops your head off cause Khorne thought it would be fun.

In the end, probably some highborn guy on a planet near terra. If I want a challenge, definitely the Chaos Lord

I would be an Iron Hands Space Marine

Put me under the knife and pump me full of augmentations!

Who needs flesh when you have Iron?!?!

Genetically Modified Humans for the win!

Haha this!!

But for me I think of two things. Either a daemon prince, I mean come on... All that power. Not to mention immortality! "Oh you killed me?.. See you again soon..."

Or I would love to be an imperial knight. Laying waste to whole armies in my own personal little awesome suit?! Yes, please.

Id like to say a rich governor so id never have to fight and subsequently die, but this is 40k and thats not really the point is it. So ill have to pick Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka please. (Or maybe Asdrubael Vect).

Daemon Prince of Nurgle.

Daemon part gives you Immortality + power.

Nurgle part gives you the friendliest companions, you can't feel pain on your excursions into the materium and you're one of the toughest mother fethers.

Plus with the Nurgle stuff, you could troll so easily --- sneeze on a group of guardsmen to kill them etc.

Well, realistically speaking, I would be best at being a Guardsman. I don't meet the physical qualifications to become a Marine.

But thinking about it, being a badass Commissar would suit me just fine lol.

Inquisitor of the Ordo Necros.

Just to see what the hell they do.

Or that guy at Ordo Desolatus.

A very powerful null perennial (effective null radius of at least 5 kilometers) that has been around since a thousand or so years before the Emperor shows up. Every once and awhile I would venture close to the Golden Throne just to feth things up with the Astronomicon for my own personal amusement. I would also be a founding member of the Inquisition with a writ signed by both the Emperor and the Malcador placing me above any Imperial authority save those two. I would use the writ to travel the universe in grand luxury and kill a few heretics every now and again for appearances. Every few Black Crusades I would venture to the Eye of Terror (via the webway) and mess with some daemons and such.

kharn, just with my own landraider.

A Dark Angels' Venerable Dreadnought. I'd have already been a kick ass Marine, and if the fluff is an indication, i'd have plenty of time off with a few bad ass moments per hundred years.

My kind of retirement.

Haemonculus,
Cutting people up for fun and using fancy wargear

Place away from hot warspots DOESN'T EXIST.
But yeah, i would like to be either a chaplain or Ministorum priest
Actually screw chaplains, IRON FATHER!! OR atleast an iron hand chaptermaster.(chapter president more precisely, eh?) Fancy bionics, bike, 2+/3++ then 3+ FNP if i have apothecary near me, Thunder hammer, because... Well it is an 60kilo hammer that sends energy charge when it hits someone, and lightning claw so those disgusting weaklings who still have their own kidneys, can redeem when i claw their eyes out, thus making MANY vacuum cleaners and toasters are superior to said abominations

I'd like to be 1) someone who does cool things while 2) having a reasonable chance at avoiding a messy death while 3) being able to have sex in my downtime.

Yep, I think I'd like to be an XV-88 Shas'vre.

Second place is being a Carcharodon terminator. If I have to give up one of the three things above, it'll be the third one, and getting to occasionally blow up a planet is almost as awesome as sex.

The commander of my homebrew regiment or a knight titan pilot.

A Craftworld Eldar civilian. I could follow one of hundreds of paths from warrior to baker. I would have access to (albeit limited) psychic abilities with the capacity to train them further. Food would be plentiful, lifespan relatively long, excellent medical coverage by those on the path of the healer, the ability to join my ancestors after death in the infinity circuit, and much more.

... and you'd live a life devoid of pleasure, as you're too afraid of being eaten by Slaneesh to reproduce.

Ork Boy.

Ignorance is bliss. They love life in every way.

A chapter serf of the Ultramarines. Or a Battle Brother of the Dark Angels. For Chapter and home!

Ordo Hereticus Inqusitior of Amalathian faction.

Virtually unlimited power to crush the witches, mutants, & heretics from within. An Imperium with a strong foundation is better able to combat the many threats
it faces.
