March Madness Challenger Edition: Part 1, The Contenders

This is an article all about how Aba-Aba-Abaddon wins. Not really. I wanna know: Who is the wins a unique HQ fight Bracket style. For this I'm going to be using real rolls and not math calculations so place your bets! Anyone could win! 

Now obviously this is a vast undertaking so I've decided to limit the contenders (alphabetically):




Representing Blood Angels:
Astorath the Grim
Mephiston
The Sanguinor

Representing Chaos Daemons:
Bloodthirster (only non-unique I'll include, author bias)
Ku'Gath
Skarbrand

Representing CSM:
Abaddon
Lucius the Eternal
Kharn
Typhus

Representing Dark Angels:
Azrael
Belial
Sammael on a bike

Representing Dark Eldar:
Asdrubael Vect
Drazhar
Duke Sliscus

Representing Eldar:
Asurmen
Avatar of Khaine
Eldrad! Woo!
Yriel

Representing Grey Knights:
Crowe (Heroic Sacrifice anyone? Yolo)
Draigo

Representing Imperial Guard:
Colonel Straken
Yarrick

Representing Necrons:
Imotekh
Orikan (he may get to be empowered, who knows?)

Representing Orks:
Ghazghkull
(The rest of them have 2 wounds, initiative 3 and no or small invuln save. Seems pointless to put them)

Representing Sisters of Battle:
St. Celestine
(lol)

Representing Space Marines:
Marneus Calgar
Khaaaaaaaaaann!
Lysander
Vulkan He'Stan

Representing Space Wolves:
Canis Wolfborn
Logan Grimnar
Ragnar Blackmane
Note: Even though Bjorn the Fell-Handed is a character I decided not to include him out of fairness as many units here cannot wound him in CC

Representing Tau Empire:
Aun'va (boss mode: he's solo)
Commander Farsight

Representing Tyranids:
Swarmlord

15 Teams, 38 Reps total

I'm going to make the bracket in Part 2 and lineup contenders at random. LLLLLLLLet's get ready to rummmmmbleeeeeeee!
