Basically who would you want to be in the game and what type of fighter would work best for the warhammer universe in your opinion?

40K doesn't lend itself well to a traditional fighting game, in my opinion. It has too much of an emphasis on shooting and group combat tactics, and unless you Injustice it half the roster won't be able to compete with one another realistically. Seeing a Commissar fighting evenly with a Primarch would be ridiculous. Plus some factions' top fighters are giant monsters/machines like the Hive Tyrant or Commander Farsight in his battlesuit.

Warhammer Fantasy would likely work better since most of the most famous lore characters are roughly human sized, primarily use melee weapons, and are at least in the same ballpark in fighting ability. You can have a somewhat believable fight between Archaon and Malekith. More believable than Mortarion vs Shadowsun, anyway.

Though if you stick mostly to the primarchs and maybe the elven phoenix lords and some of the biggest, baddest orks you might have a reasonable roster. But then a lot of 40K fans don't get their favorite characters.
