What is your favorite warhammer character?

#1 Post by laurie1 »

What is your favourite warhammer character (they can be from the world that was or age of sigmar). I like teclis, Vandus and Alith Anar. I also quite like Nagash. I really liked Korhil and was so sad when he died :(

So, whats your fave character from warhammer (fantasy/age of sigmar).

I'd have to say either Alareille the Everqueen or Ungrim Ironfist from the game. If we take ANY point in the Warhammer World, Caledor Dragontamer.

Leitdorf is definitely the best. He hurls random insults and completely mad! :P

I'm far more attached to some of my mordheim or WFR characters than any of the official ones, but if I have to pick an official one it would be Berterand the Brigand.

He didn't specify official character ;)

In which case I would go for our own lovely Narrin'Tim.

As for official characters, most of them feel a bit too cartoony for me. The bad guys very often are these evil masterminds cackling in a corner about how evil they are. Same with the good guys. A bit too good, with not enough flaws to make them real.

I like Alith Anar. At least he has some backbone.

And of course Gobbla. What's not to love. :)

As an admin note, I feel this topic probably belongs in the general WH forum. I'll move it over there.

For the high elves, I like Teclis and Aislinn best.

Overall, it's probably Skarsnik (and gobla), Leitdorf, and Queek Headtaker. I also have a soft spot for Thanquol.

yeah, I could reconsider my statement, I think those mentioned above belongs to my fav also, so Gotrek, Settra and the Blinded Eltharion, I simply like badass warhammer characters.

But this one is just a win to me:

''Settra does not serve...Settra RULES!!'' The most epic moment of that #@!£+% End times :lol: :mrgreen:

Some of the Dwarves are pretty good too. Mostly the mad or slayer ones.

Alith Anar and Eltharion, especially when he was blind.

Always more of a Palin'Tanith man myself. Don't mind a certain colonial Lex Lutheresqe schemer either, if I have to admit it.

From the off the official fluff Cu'Sif from the Guardians of The Forest book, wardancers done right.

Eltharion the Blind... :mrgreen:

P.S. Sorry for the double post, but the awesomeness of this character simply cannot be contained within one post! :mrgreen: 8)
