Loken is a real human bean and a real goddamn hero of the Imperium...

Malkador the Hero.

[Spoiler]Sly Marbo[/spoiler]

That cunt ultramarine who's novels defy existing lore and portray Space Marines as fratboys having a pub crawl?

And that's why Saul Tarvitz and the EC loyalists are perfect. PERFECT!

>cawguard player
I'm terribly sorry to hear that

Loken is pretty cool. I liked Garro and Argel Tal a lot too. Idk why Veeky Forums hates the BL's HH series so much. It's just paperback sci-fi stuff, lighten up. It's like criticizing comic books; just makes it obvious you're taking this shit too seriously, which makes you look stupid.

Talos and a couple of the guys from first claw are arguably better characters than any from the HH series though.

Gaunt! Even his model was great. Only AM character I liked running. GW plz give him back.

The Greatest of Heroes right here.

this right here. good tastes and opinions.

Yessir!

Olly-P Baby

>mfw Blades of Damocles

Fucking retarded.

He's not Leman Russ

The Space Wolves.... are SPACE MARINES

>Lemon Russ

You should see this guy kicking xeno asses.

Also,
>Ahriman BTFO

Did someone say Hero of the Imperium?
I don't recall Loken fucking all the bitches but then slowly falling in love with a wise cracking blonde Inquisitor.
I don't recall Loken having that one ex GF turn out to be a deamon princess and fighting her with a chainsword while throwing off all the carnal psychic temptations she threw at him.
I do recall Loken soloing a World Eater (Kharn) but he may have had superhuman conditioning and a powersword.
Cain had a chainsword and his wits.

Jurgen was there too.

I think I prefer Loken as a martyr, too. He (along with Torgaddon and Tarvitz) struck me as the heroes the Imperium deserved during Isstvan III, and them dying there really fit the bleak theme of 40k.

I will admit, though, that Loken's survival made my jaw drop when listening to the Garro audio dramas.

Cain

Why does 1d4chan call him "I don't use the floor". Is it just an astartes version of *teleports behind you"

That's not Nykona Sharrowkyn. It's just a random Raven Guard from a 40k audio short.

No, the cute little guy from Text To Speech :3

He's not Cain

Funny, such a beautiful job on a great model.... yet its still fucking mono-pose

Haven't read the most recent book - it any good?

reminder that Uzas did nothing wrong

Sevatar has all of them beat. I don't recall a marine giving his primarch sass minus eberus and kor, but then again logar was as beta as it gets.

>I don't recall a marine giving his primarch

Typhus.
Bjorn.
That one Dark Angel chaplain that refused to budge on the Librarian issue which caused the Lion to murder him.

All of them are pretty great

That chaplain did nothing wrong.

nice shit taste desu

He isn't a bloodraven, so he can't be the best.

In the book he's prevalent in, he spends most of his time aboard a ship crawling around on the ceiling "for practice" or some shit. A smug-ass Salamander is the only one who can see him and calls him out by saying "is something wrong with the floor?"

>He then drops down and kills everybody

I don't get why so many regular human characters manage to duel with CSMs and win thanks to their "superior skill with a blade."

You'd think 1,000 years of war would make you a better swordsman than some guy in his 60s, assuming you don't just fucking punch/kick the guy with your power armor and vastly superior strength.

>Ciaphas Cain
>Gaunt
>Malcador
>Logen Grimnar

Garviel was a pretty cool guy though

Rule of cool, but also being in the warp 24/7 for ages before you finally find a way out and dedicating your life to the stuff of nightmares probably isn't helpful. Except if you dedicate your life to Khorne. Balls to the wall angry, but still becoming better at war.

That mini is beautiful. If it were a lady, I'd want to kiss it.

I, Cato Sicarius will be leaving now.

>WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP

I like him more for having an actual chat with Empy

>WE ARE AGONISINGLY ALONE

I know Gaunt fought a CSM with a power sword vs chain sword and won. I don't remember Cain doing that though

Wrong inquisitor.
That's Czevak, Jaq Draco was the one who had the Emperor dramatically monologue in his head.

You sir are the toppest tier

Inquisitor Czavek. Probably one of the most travelled characters in the whole setting. Has spoken with the Emperor, seen the inside of the Black Library, and has been to the darkest corner of every segmentum.

>Gaunt
Didn't the nihtgane weaken the marine by turning him into a poison dart pincushion first?

>Cain
Pretty sure Jurgen secured the kill with a meltagun, though I might be remembering a completely different fight.

The first three HH books are pure gold. Yeah, out of the dozens of HH books SOME are not so good but ragging on the first three makes you look fucking stupid.

Ah fuck.

My battle brother, first for the first High Marshal

Yeah, you're right on both counts.

>WE ARE GRIM SALVATION

This is the line that always gets me.

>NOTHING THAT SAFEGUARDS HUMANITY CAN BE EVIL, NOT EVEN THE MOST STRENUOUS INHUMANITY. IF THE HUMAN RACE FAILS, IT HAS FAILED FOREVER.
The Emperor definitely seemed more or less at peace with what the Imperium has become.

This guy was granted audience with the Emperor. You think he also got the Grim Salvation speech? Think the Emperor says the same thing to everyone who enters his presence.

A Custodes feels the Emperor enter his mind,
>Yes, yes, my lord, agonizingly alone, we get it.

Not only that but his Forgeworld model is dope as fuck

>WE ARE THE ONLY SOURCE OF GOODNESS, SEVERE AND DRASTIC. THERE IS NO OTHER SOURCE OF HOPE THAN US. WE ARE AGONISINGLY ALONE.

I wouldn't say he's at peace with it. He knows it's gone to shit. His entire vision for humanity in ruins but, he really can't afford the time to lament or he many lose on concentration on the myriad other things he's doing to keep the Imperium afloat for just a few more seconds.

>Not Indrick Boreale or Apollo Diomedes
Yeah sure. Whatever you say pal

heritor asphodel

>And the Emperor’s power is weakening. His mind, so long the bastion of Humanity against the horrors of the warp, is failing. His once-indivisible will is fragmenting; parts of his psyche are at war; independent thoughts and feelings arise within his mind, emerging from the whirls and splits of his age-old personality. Evils which he rejected millennia ago return to haunt the Emperor in quieter moments.

>His conscious mind is still in control but, year by year, his dreams and visions of the warp grow a little clearer. The seduction of Chaos, a surrender of rest and ease, is a little stronger each century. The good intentions have been soured by the practicalities of Imperial power; guilt and shame for past decisions grows over the centuries. And Mankind remains as stubborn as ever and turns to Chaos, despite the best efforts of the Emperor and his servants.
