In your own codex, what named HQ would you be OK with losing to advance the plot?
Please name at least ONE named HQ and why.

Cato Sicarius. He’s an arrogent, egotistical prat. Someone feed him to the ‘nids.
Mechanically, he’s a nice throwback to 4th edition, but that’s not enough to stay my ire.

We already lost half the named HQs from the IG codex anyway. Jokingly,I'd Marneus Calgar. Seriosuly, Mal Thraka and Yarrick, because I want some resoloution to the Armaggeddon wars.

Characters are for losers. Kill off whoever you want, and then promote the next anonymous guardsman (with identical rules) to replace them.

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. |

Abbadon.
The supporting chaos characters are much more interesting. Kharne, Typhus, Ahriman, and Lucius have much more interesting back story's than Abbadon. For the pivotal character of The Great Enemy the writing of his plotlines and fluff is very poor.

If only Ghazgkull was still an HQ, he'd be the first in Orks.
Uninteresting story, since his whole story is being someone who tried the same thing several times and failed; hard.
Trying to kill the same guy, a few times, and failed; hard.
Suppose to be a bad ass, but so far he's just trashed the same places over and over again just to fail everytime to plot armour.
Grukk is a good replacement, and hopefully one day maybe we'll see Mogrok.
Wazdakka needs to ride again.
Can live without Zhagstrukk. As a guy in the game, not really worth it.

For Marines, Marneus Calgar because he's a turd.
For Space Wolves, Lukas the Trickster because it's statistically long overdue.
For Chaos Space Marines, Abbadon because he's a dickless incompetent or Huron Blackheart because who cares.
For Orks, Dok Grotsnik because it would be interesting/ unexpected.
For Imperial Guard, Nork Deddog because it's his job.

Ghazghkull, Abbadon, Guard already lost like seven named characters, Marneus Calgar, Swarmlord, Draigo, Logan Grimnar, Stormlord, Farsight, Eldrad, Vect.
All the Mary Sues. Have them kill each other.
Heck take all the SM characters.

What story does killing Calgar advance? The Age/Sicarius one? Yawn. That's the only story waiting on the death of a Chapter Master I know of.
As for killing off the Swarmlord, been there, done that, reincarnated the T-shirt.
Didn't they already kill off Eldrad sometime in 3rd or 4th Ed?

I'd say, honestly to see what interesting story could come out of it, Aun`Va, but as far as a character I dislike immensely, Lucius the Eternal. Everyone says how useless Abbadon is, and they're right, but by the Emprah is he a useless pile of bullocks. Git rid of him!

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard. |

I'd definitely have to say Marneus Calgar. Cato Sicarius is far more Gullimanesque and a better fit to lead the Ultramarines, IMO. Despite being the big cheese there seems to be strikingly little actual fluff on Calgar, at least in the codex. (Admittedly, I do not read the novels.)
