Who do you think is the best special character currently in the game? I will attempt to throw together a list by army. If I feel that a codex does not have a good special character then I'll just put NA beside that army. So here we go!
01) Black Templars:
Marshal Helbrandt, Chaplain Grimaldus
02) Blood Angels:
Astorath, Dante, Mephiston, Sanguinor
I know most will pick either Mephiston or Sanguinor but based upon my own playtesting I have to pick Dante as he is the greatest force multiplier in my opinion. Note that I would rather take a character that is a force multiplier over say a scary close combat monster.
03) Chaos Daemons:
Blue Scribes, The Changeling, Fateweaver, The Masque, Skulltaker
I think the Fateweaver is the top choice here. The others I listed are popular as well so I included them as well.
04) Chaos Space Marines:
Abbadon
I'd like to include the winged lash prince but it's obviously not a special character.
05) Dark Angels:
Belial, Sammuel
I was tempted to go with NA but there are those who still love their Deathwing & Ravenwing. I respect that too. I haven't seen anyone taking Azrael so I didn't include him.
06) Dark Eldar:
Lelith, Vect
07) Daemon Hunters:
NA
08) Eldar:
Eldrad, Maugan Ra
Eldrad is one of my top choices for best overall.
09) Imperial Guard:
Al Raheem, Creed, Sly Marbo
While I rarely ever see anyone field Creed he is pretty solid for blob IG. Marbo is obviously the most popular by far.
10) Necrons:
The Deceiver, Nightbringer
The Deceiver is another one of my top choices. Just like Eldrad his ability to redeploy is often overlooked but very powerful.
11) Orks:
Ghazkul Mad Thrakka, Snikrot
Ghaz is another top pick for me!
12) Sisters of Battle:
NA
13) Space Marines:
The Khan, Captain Lysander, Vulkan
Vulkan is another top pick for the best special character & extremely popular amongst those who love their power armor.
14) Space Wolves:
Logan Grimnar
He has to compete with the generic Wolf Lord mounted on a Thunderwolf but Logan is definitely a very strong force multiplier and a staple to many Space Wolf armies.
15) Tau:
NA
16) Tyranids:
Deathleaper, The Doom of Malanti, Swarmlord
If I missed any let me know!

Definitely Ghaz.
Abaddon. This character seems to be making a comeback with several "heavy hitters" using him in lists that have gotten them the golden ticket.
However, if discussing a character that can multiply a force and turn the mundane into the deadly, I would have to go with Vulkan.
I have to go with my own hero, the Deceiver. He has single-handedly walked through peoples' entire armies.
My other favourites are Eldrad, Ghazghkull, Logan Grimnar and Corbulo.
My top picks are Ghazskul Mad Thrakka, Eldrad & the Deceiver. Creed is an awesome choice for blob IG. My * favorite * is hte Skulltaker mounted on a Juggernaught... He is truly a beast and can shred MC heavy lists, such as elfzilla & Nidz.
