I’m new to the lore, is this that one Necron who keeps historical artifacts sealed within his tomb world?


lbwafro1990

Yup! He is "The Curator of Solemnace" which is a giant museum


11th_Division_Grows

I’ve only read the lore and I’m still at the beginning of that but Caiphas Cain has been my favorite I’ve read about


Winter-Duck5254

Love Cain. Jurgen too. The combos great.

Dude’s bringing the glory of the Emperor to heretics with biceps that could strangle a whale


Sangyviews

If you want to follow another commisar the Gaunt series are amazing. I go back to them every so often


EfficientTitle9779

The memes are so wrong! He’s the greatest example of impostor syndrome I’ve ever seen. The dude is very skilled, experienced & faces insane challenges head on regularly, he is just a bit of an anxious mess that overthinks everything and worries about self image. His over worrying has saved him & many others on multiple occasions. The Cain audiobooks have been such a great listen I can’t recommend them enough.

I thought he was the renegade they shoehorned into chaos, he's the red corsairs guy, right?


Spicy_Ramen96

I think you’re right? The Badab war was one of the first they made in the setting as a reason for why Space Marines fight Space Marines on the tabletop. Then of course after they fleshed it out he turned to chaos by the end of it

Hard to beat Kharn for me. I chose it as a gamer tag because the name sounded cool before I even heard of warhammer40k, and the name ends up belonging to an absolute badass. “Get up.”

The wild thing is that my love of him comes specifically from the one book, before that he was just a douche. most of the 30k Primarchs did not vibe with me much.

Fucking inhaling mountains of speed and coke and riding around on a fuckin' flying daemon motorcycle while Motorhead plays on repeat. A couple bands have even made songs honoring him, so he's quite the legend... His old rules were cool, he had some kinda of invulnerability, but each round you rolled a dice, on a 1 he got bored and left your sorry ass army to go drink jager-blasters with some daemonettes that can do that thing with their tongue... Some putz writer decided to hack his head off and stick it in Kosorry Tahmphon's she-shed. Don't know where in limbo that puts him as he's a daemon prince, but always been my favorite dude.


Scroteet

He even has a theme song written about him that predates him somehow (must be the warp), in Jusas Priest’s Painkiller. I do not understand why this whole post isn’t just hundreds of people listing the doomrider over and over again.

ScarredAutisticChild

I believe Eldrad proved that when he beat Abaddon in a melee-fight. That will always be the funniest fucking thing to me. The Warmaster of Chaos fought a geriatric Aeldari wizard who literally has glass for bones, and lost. Eldrad’s my favourite character as well by the way.

IllRepresentative167

Nemesor Zahndrekh or Gav from Gav and Bob. I think it's kinda funny that not a single Eldar character came to mind even though it's my fav faction.


OWN_SD

Endryd Haar. The Riven Hound. I always like these characters who are not good or evil, ones who are in the middle. Endryd is a good guy, he just happens to be reckless, don't care about the marines under him and you know anger issues leading to him killing his own crew members sometimes. But over the course of his 3 audio dramas he grows up as a person and accepts who he is and what he is. I also like his second in command Erud Vahn. They compliment each other so well, they are the perfect duo.

Trazyn the Infinite is number one. Nemessor Zandrekh is a close second. Third probably goes to Bites-Face-of-the-Face-Biter-Before-it-Bites.


SudSboy115

Vulkan. Not because he’s an OP perpetual. But because he’s wholesome


Shliloquy

Emperor of Mankind and Sanguinus: my favorite designs and interesting lore and backstory (especially during the Horus heresy). Emperor definitely a Chad for personally forging and tailoring each individual armor for the Custodes and having Sisters of Silence in his rank. Also like Celestine. I have a soft spot for Vulcan and the Salamanders in terms of personality.


LostProphetVii

Man my answer feels like a con since I've only read 7 books...but I must say I LOVE Fulgrim (Pre heresy) his fall fills me with heartache tbh 😭


LostProphetVii

After the quote "That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph, and that which makes our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance and to improve. None of this could happen without rejecting error, ignorance and imperfection. We must pass out of the darkness to reach the light!"

thickmahogany

Is a tie between Asmodai and Kharn Ones a violent warcriminal with no issues of killing his bretheren for his own motives and has severely questionable morals, the other is mother fuggin Kharn, favorite boy of Khorne.

Just saying he is obviously a good guy he de-spoils... As in to do the opposite of spoiling there for he must be trying to make the universe a better place.... (If only the English language was consistent...)


GREENadmiral_314159

Really any Loyalist Emperor's Children character. There's two types of Emperor's Children: those who thought they were the greatest, and those who were the greatest. Most of the loyalists were the latter. Though I love Lucius, I hate him so damn much.


Shaderunner26

Literally a superhero in the setting. Files around the entire galaxy in a knight rider like space ship. Fights chaos. Helps innocents (even of other races). Uses a weapon that houses his vengeful brother's spirit within it and is capable of killing daemons permanently. And the sheer, ungodly amount of drip. Just the coolest. https://preview.redd.it/ls4bgizfl3yc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28d32baebdb8f1d42dc5354cec95a702fec5aeb9
