Loken is a real human bean and a real goddamn hero of the Imperium. Literally the best character in the entire goddamn lore.

Should have died when that building collapsed on him.
Make him a true an hero and have him fucking die on isstvan.

Awesome as he is, dude is too much of a Mary Sue even for my little black XIX legion heart. His only characterization is how badass he is.
>>47327993
Figuring out who is the best character in 40k is like figuring out which pile of shit is the warmest and smells the most like tulips.
>>47328181
Obviously the one most recently shat out on a tulip patch.

Loken is pretty cool. I liked Garro and Argel Tal a lot too. Idk why /tg/ 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.
>>47328025
Gaunt! Even his model was great. Only AM character I liked running. GW plz give him back.

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.
>>47328066
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.
>>47327993
Cain
>>47328090
Why does 1d4chan call him "I don't use the floor". Is it just an astartes version of *teleports behind you"
>>47328090
That's not Nykona Sharrowkyn. It's just a random Raven Guard from a 40k audio short.
>>47328280
No, the cute little guy from Text To Speech :3
>>47327993
He's not Cain

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

He isn't a bloodraven, so he can't be the best.
>>47334049
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
>>47333526
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.
>>47327993
>Ciaphas Cain
>Gaunt
>Malcador
>Logen Grimnar
Garviel was a pretty cool guy though
>>47338229
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.
>>47327993

I like him more for having an actual chat with Empy
>WE ARE AGONISINGLY ALONE
>>47338229
I know Gaunt fought a CSM with a power sword vs chain sword and won. I don't remember Cain doing that though
>>47339428
Wrong inquisitor.
That's Czevak, Jaq Draco was the one who had the Emperor dramatically monologue in his head.
>>47336055
You sir are the toppest tier
>>47334218
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.
>>47339463
>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.
>>47328058
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.
>>47339478
Ah fuck.
>>47334231
My battle brother, first for the first High Marshal
>>47339565
Yeah, you're right on both counts.

>WE ARE GRIM SALVATION
This is the line that always gets me.
>>47339875
>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.
>>47340001
Not only that but his Forgeworld model is dope as fuck
>>47339914
>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.
>>47327993

Yeah sure. Whatever you say pal

>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.
