    In this episode we will explore some of the most capable melee fighters in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, this list of characters is not presented in order and it only shows the capabilities of each one. Of course, there are some others that can actually make it to the list, so perhaps we will have a part 2 in the future. Feel free to let us know in the comments who, in your opinion, is the mightiest melee fighter in Warhammer Fantasy.

    I think you're missing a few herer: Malekith, being one of the scarier bastards out there and Hellebron. The madwoman who has fought for thousands of years, from the taming of the world through the sundering and everything thereafter and she has done it without wearing a scrap of armour and last I checked she isn't sporting any scars. And then there's the Deathsword, while not a very creatively named weapon, it sure as hell lives up to the name.
    There are precious few, even on this list, who'd last long against her.

He might not be the best fighter but because he's a powerful hybrid he can easily destroy most characters in a duel. Still this is a very easy competition, the most powerful fighter that has ever existed in warhammer lore is Aenarion the defender and no one else comes even close. Grimgor probably takes the spot among the mortal living and the Green Knight wins if immortal characters are allowed because you can't kill him or banish him, however he can't leave his own realm.

    Well, I think there are a few melee fighters of incredible strength, naturally that is going to happen. But I think both N'Kari, Skarbrand and Be'Lakor, if you want to count them. They kinda have an edge by being large deamons. Sigvald, Malus, Taurox and Nakai are probably also very strong. Also a character that has yet to be released into the total war games; Skreech the Verminking, head of the Skaven Shadow Council of Thirteen.

      I'm not an expert on the lore and all of those are great fighters but if I remember correctly N'kari is Tyrion and Teclis's punching bag, Skarbrand got beaten by Malekith one time, Be'lakor got beaten by a grail knight, Throgg killed Sigvald, Malus was taken over by T'zarkan who was killed by Tyrion, and Taurox was killed by Markus Wulfhart. Nakai is the only one who I don't know much but I think was undefeated and I never heard of Skreech.

      N'Kari however is to my knowledge clearly stronger than Tyrion. It has been Teclis that turns the tide, without him I think Tyrion would have lost spectacularly. Their god Asuryan I believe also aided them. I have also read a story in which N'Kari kills Skarbrand although that one might have been fanmade but it was incredibly well written so in my mind it is still cannon. As Skarbrand at least used to be the mightiest bloodthrister killing him can't be easy, props to Malekith aswell.

    Anarion is super broken, and is basically the be all end all of fighters. Not far behind would be people like Abhorash who have "lived" for thousands and thousands of years, also in this tier I would throw in Archon, but thats more because he's just super overpowered as the main bad guy, Belakor has also been around for an incredibly long time and has all the powers of daemonhood. Then theres sort of the weird tier for people like Nagash and The Green Knight who are sort of more magic and other such power rather than straight up warriors. After that which i regard as the "cheese tier" you have much more grounded fighters like Kroq Kar, Grimgor, Vlad Von Carstein, Valkia, Tyrion, Malekith, Grombrindal, Nakai, Skarbrand and the almighty god emperor of manki.... i mean Sigmar

Hes a beast in melee. As for personally who i think is great is greasus goldtooth. While his end is by grimgor in the end times, he wouldve won if at that point grimgor wasnt the incarnate of the wind of beasts and the prophet of the great maw (poor skrag).
