Jaghatai Khan

He understood that people always have something to strive for. He contextualized it in war, because that's what he was born and bred for, but everything about his philosophy is about always working harder and going farther to achieve something new, and to never be satisfied with just resting and building up old achievements.

Plus, wicked cape.

He's a hard-ass, he's got grit, and he's totally willing to spend lives, but he wants to spend them well. For him, piety and military service bleed together, and dying well is the best he can really ask for.

A lot of people will point at Castor in Retri as a good example of a general who doesn't want to waste men, but you don't really get a chance to see that. You hear him say it in his speech to Merrick, but you really hear little other dialogue from him on the subject, since instead of speaking frankly to an officer like Sturnn did for most of his campaign, Castor was concerned about killing things and getting stuffed Tyranids for his trophy room. He could've been cool, but he rubbed me the wrong way - too far into the noble elite.

The Emperor does so much terrible shit it's no wonder, actually.
Half the time it's because he's a conceited prick that doesn't think anyone else is capable of helping him bring the golden age he wants, so he manuvers and plots and keeps secrets (from his own sons, which eventually leads to all kinds of horrible shit, especially with Magnus).
It's also because he's a fucking terrible father.

Charadons are another chapter specialised in fucking up Space Marine chapters, but they aren't under the thumb of the high lords. If the Minotaurs or a few High Lords ever fall out of favour, the Space Sharks will be some of the fuckers coming after them. Conversely, if the 'taurs are sent to deal with a slightly heretical Space Shark chapter, both armies would get fucked up. Being wary of them is probably good leadership.

>>47167781
Daily reminder that the Emperor and Malcador do not blame the fallen primarchs. Not even Horus. They admit they made mistakes with them.

However, they fully blame Magnus and are greatly outraged and disappointed with him because he of all the fallen primarchs should have known better.

Lord Solar Macharius. Badass general that was insanely driven to carve out another thousand planets for humanity. He wasnt above the dark, gritty reality of the battlefield either.

I honestly can't remember her name right now, but there was a living saint of the Sororitas, who spent like five minutes on some planet or another, and was so majestic that in that time the entire planet dedicated itself entirely to worshipping the Emperor. That's pretty fucking good.

Dante is practically the embodiment of the Imperium. He is old and dying, but hanging on to fulfill his destiny. He knows his chapter and homeworld are practically doomed, but he still fights on. He hopes that his noble sacrifice, and the sacrifice of all of the sons of Sanguinius, will inspire the Imperium in the days to come. I just hope the old man completes the prophecy that he believes is about him- where he stands in defense of the Emperor's Throne in the end times.

Its implied in his fluff that his mind is straining because of his age. I don't mean his body is failing, just that he sounds like he may be a candidate for the death company if he didn't have his prophecy spurring him on. This part from the advent calendar was my favorite.

Without the mask, Dante’s face is a monument to one and a half thousand years of bloodshed
and battle. He retains his angelic beauty, a gift of his primarch’s genetic coding, but the
inhuman serenity of his visage is lined by tracks of weariness and ennui unknown to any
other mortal. His hair, once gold, has turned as white as the marble statues cast in his image.
He is old now. It shows.

I know I'm probably the only one, but I love Fabius Bile.

Not as a fun villain but someone I really admire.

He had this enormous dogma in front of him, the infinite genious and masterwork of the Emperor himself called the Astartes, and he simply went: "Screw it, it's not as perfect as anyone think, I can make this better".
And he shown perfection isn't a thing set in stone. Perfection is something that evolve.
And he does that in many other occasion too, not only with the Astartes.
Nothing is sacred to him, everything is improvable.

I just love him as a challenger of traditions and everything they represent.
I have this matter at heart because the weight of tradition is very strong irl were i live.

I love the Waaagh! Ghazghkull supplement's bit about him:

>COMMISSAR YARRICK
>Being somewhat soft, it is extraordinary for ’umies to gain respect from Orks – especially greenskins led by a stoic and battle-hungry Goff like Ghazghkull. Although Space Marines are regarded with esteem for their skills in battle – none more so than Commander Dante of the Blood Angels – it was an Imperial Commissar that drew the most admiration from the Orks. Here was an uncompromising warrior – as eager to shoot his own ladz as the foe, if that’s what it took to gain victory. Commissar Yarrick was certainly a thorn in Ghazghkull’s side, for the greenskins reckon that it was he alone that willed the defenders of Hades Hive to hold on for so long. The Orks gradually learned from their captives that the defenders of Hades had grown to fear Yarrick as much as they dreaded the fury of Ghazghkull. To the Orks, this was the kind of leader they could respect. The fact that he wore Goff colours – black with red trim – boosted his esteem even further. It is said that of all Ghazghkull’s foes, Yarrick was the only one that he ever cursed – high praise indeed. Those Orks that came face-to-face with the infamous ‘Umie Boss’ often expressed disappointment. In person, Yarrick was only human-sized, although this was lessened somewhat because he did at least wear an Ork power klaw and bear an evil eye. Amongst the Boyz, it was said that those Orks that recognised who they were up against were always slain – for they stood in gape-jawed disbelief at Yarrick’s insulting puniness and so left themselves open to a deathblow. The wily Orks acknowledged the value of this tactic, even if it was a sly, sneaky Blood Axe kind of trick.

Lelith Hesperax. In a universe of hardcore men with huge muscles, guns that can put holes in titanium plating, and body armour that basically a tank with legs, Lelith can beat pretty much all of them using a knife, a spear, and wearing what amounts to her underwear.
She's being doing her gladiatrix thing for about 10'000 years. If we estimate she fights in the arena three times a week, and she kills 3 people a time, then that means she's killed ((10000*(52*3))*3)... so she's personally killed about 4'680'000. Lelith is not so much a common warrior as she is a force of nature.
You have to respect that sheer level of skill.

Maybe not the best chapter, but certainly the best Primarch.

Even though he's an evil son of a bitch, I really admire Typhon/Typhus.
He was a brilliant leader, a fearsome warrior, and a talented psyker.
Even while suppressing his psychic gifts, he was able to climb the ranks on his own accord.
He's also noteworthy for being better than Mortarion, undermining his gene-sire and subtly directing the legion as he saw fit.

Guilliman is canonically the most loyal primarch, explicitly state multiple times.

Commissar Costellin.

Commissar to a Krieger Regiment for several years, still clings to the idea that life is precious, it eventually costs him his own life.

It's a tragic story really. The entire book is tragic Dead Men Walking but it definitely fleshes him out as an individual character among a regiment of near-automaton. I was sad when he died.

>>47168658
>>the black guy was the only good father.

Because he was the only one, barring RG, that had a strong father figure in his life that loved them dearly, and (callous as this may sound) died before they were eclipsed and overshadowed by their son. He's the most normal because he had the most normal upbringing, and community and family was pretty much all he had growing up.

>>47175349
I dunno, a quasi-immortal being who can reach across the galaxy with his mind and talk to you as if he's standing right there in front of you, as well as being nigh-unkillable to anything but himself, and being able to obliterate somebody with a literal thought is pretty goddamn close to godhood.

Another Dark Eldarfag here. I think you're a queer for liking the Lamenters, and I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy anything involving a spiky dildo.

Also on topic, I admire Vect.

Motherfucker schemed his way up from nothing and despite nurturing a culture of betrayal, hasn't even come close to being dethroned. He only fights on the backfoot when it's actually a tactical advantage for him, and he gave a god damn black hole in a box as a gift to a rival. Bonus, him and his faction are probably one of the least about-to-be-fucked were the setting to advance. All things considered, the Gate of Khane ain't shit compared to the 13th Black Crusade, the Great Waaaaagh!, the Nids, etc.

Honorable mentions to the Duke, Alpharius/Omegon, and Sanguinius for just being so based.

Funny thing, if he had chosen taking the long way he would be sanctioned to act as fitted, help the imperium at large and ultimately receiving the recognition he wanted, but he decided to fuck up everything.

Alpharius is the mastermind behind all of it.

Lamenters are awesome, heroic bastards who never give up and make people cry manly tears.

Inquisitor Coteaz is cool because he does everything he can for the good of the Imperium, but does not (or at least, has so far resisted) give in to the urge to make himself immortal to carry on his work forever.

>>47179397
That's still a form of protecting the humans, and one more suited to their unique talents.

They locate and target things the Guard would be unable to overcome without just drowning it in bodies, doing with ten Marines what would cost the lives of a million men. They don't pretend to be line troops and die in hopeless last stands along the Guard, they get in and do what needs to be done before the men at the top do it at the cost of billions.

He's capable at commanding from squad level tactics to grand strategy and he never spends the lives of his soldiers when he can avoid it. He uses his subordinates in the best roles they're suited for, and listens when they're exercising their expertise.

But pound-for-pound Celestine definitely packs a bigger punch.

But they would never fight. They'd rape and pillage heretics and xenos side-by-side.

>>47195741
Yes. Benign warp entities are few and far between, in the middle of soulraping monsters, but they're here. Eldars gods are the most notable (and the most dead) with Living Saints and LotD if you consider their fluff that way.

Agreed. Most the imperium (and the Space Marines for that matter) is filled with absolute dicks. The Salamanders are some the very rare bros in the universe of 40K.

You feeling alright anon? Need someone to check your temperature?

Castellan Crowe. Dude has a super evil daemon sword of unimaginable power, it's constantly promising him anything he wants, AND he has to actively listen to it's nonstop bullshit in case it accidentally leaks some super top secret Chaos shenanigans. Not to mention he wields it like any other sword (not a force weapon), therefore effectively handicapping himself in combat.

I also love the fact that only Crowe is trusted around it, so he has to chill in isolation most of the time with only the sword for company. So essentially, for hundreds of years, his only contact is a sword that is constantly trying to mindfuck him.

All he wants to do is make things right in the Imperium and save his legion no matter the cost.

All out of love.

Not really, all I know comes form Codex: Armageddon, where his description is also like one sentence long. But I like the thought of a by human standards psychotically aggressive inventor working for an even more aggressive warlord coming up with kunnin gubbins for the latter to massacre people with, both doing it because their quest for blood-drenched lulz have turned into a fuckhueg crusade where the soldiers simply are biologically unable to give a fuck about anything but a good fight. Nigger I love Orks like no part of any other franchise, and Orkimedes is a genius Ork who makes all the others even more dangerous.

I would expect more wounds on someone who is _truly_ determined to repentance, but I suppose she'll do.

>>47181637
I wonder if the Emperor is deliberately 'avin a giggle in Cain's case.
He finds someone who considers himself a coward, and makes him the greatest commissar in the Imperium.

I'm not shitting on the likes of Yarrick here, but in terms of being a pure commissar, I.E a morale officer capable of giving tactical advice and support to their regiment/general, Cain is undoubtedly the best at it.
Other great Commissars tend to have enough strings to their bow that they're more a Commissar/General hybrid.

I'm not defending him, since it was clearly a case of hubris, but it's pretty obvious that he thought if everyone else was breaking the rules, why shouldn't he?

My favourite is Commissar Cain.
I prefer Eisenhorn to Ravenor.

You are all a bunch of feral-worlders.

>>47203746
Yeah but the rule was specifically made FOR HIM. The Emperor explicitly told Magnus that if he broke the rule he and his entire legion would be wiped out and struck from Imperial History.

Also don't forget this was when Magnus had been charged with the use of Sorcery in the first place by his brothers, which pissed the Emperor right off because he had made Magnus promise not you use Sorcery when they first met when he found him on Prospero.

>>47167564
To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line and die fighting.
It is what we do best.
We die standing.

I was under the impression, based on one of the Gaunt's Ghosts books, that "Living Saints" were just psyker-cyborgs that were made by the Elchesiarchy and the Admech as champion/propoganda tools. I forget which book it is but it's the one where they have to protect the tomb of Saint Sabbath on that mountainy world.

Tremble before the majesty of the Emperor, for we all walk in His immortal shadow!

A black templars marshal or dreadnought, think of all the blood they have spilled, and odds they have faced to get to where they are now, they have dealt in death and forged victory thousands and thousands of times over with no respite.

>>47167001
Lord Solar Macharius, because I'm a sucker for not!Alexanders. Plus the way that his trilogy was written was amazing, especially the scenes where he gives speeches and you actually understand why they followed him to the extent they did.

At the same time, he also has typical Alexandraian flaws of an almost inhuman perfection, and that extreme anger when someone dares to defy him.

>>47200557
Even if you set aside all of Cain's other achievements he is extremely good at his job. He takes a regiment that was at each others throats and turns it into a unified, competent fighting force. He knows that making the troops respect him works better than making them fear him. He is very good at keeping morale up and is extremely skilled in the social and political aspects of his duties. Even with his supposed cowardice Cain is an excellent Commissar.

Probably Kharn. He's a simple man with simple needs and lives to do what he does best; kill everything. Plus he wields an axe and I'm a huge World Eaters/Khorne fag.

None of us could ever hope to aspire to that orks taste in fine head wear.

Shira Calpurnia. Sexy female Arbite born from Nobility who has a great arc of triumph, hubris and finally not redemption but acceptance of her mistake and being willing to receive punishment for it. Not simply because she thinks she deserves it, or to atone for it, but because she truly believes in the system and surrenders herself to the laws of the Imperium as something greater than a single persons bias.

It's a kind of character growth never seen in WH40Keks where "Muh Honour" or "No John, you where the demons!" Or "But they were still pure despite this" etc comes along.

The third book is pretty much like when Cato got bitch slapped verbally by his squad, but for the entire thing.
