When the Warp Gates collapsed, Nakai picked up a great axe, started slaying chaos, and *still hasn’t stopped.* That’s honestly why he’s one of the best: he’s been killing Demons, vampires, Skavens, Drukhi, and everything else in between for literally millennia.

its really hard to put a list together, especailly if demigods, ancestral spirits etc are counted as well. If we take only the mortal ones, then Tyrion, Grimgor, Archaon, Gotrek, Ungrim, Gor-rok should be def there. If not only mortals, then Grimnir, Green Knight, Abhorash, Settra, Aenarion, Grombrindal, Skarbrand, Kholek, Krakanrok the Black, Scyla Anfingrimm and a lot more could be listed as incredible melee fighters. I wouldnt have put up Queek in any case tho.

post-awakening gotrek can technically be classed as still being in fantasy though he was in it for a very short time after, this gotrek could solo archaon and his generals with ease and tbvh probably his army, it's the same gotrek that went into the chaos realms with an axe of grimnir in either hand (one of which is capable of killing the chaos gods as told by grimnir himself) and massacred endless hordes of daemons of all kinds for 10k years and then went on to fight godbeasts ect in age of sigmar

Not Grugni, Grimnir probably could beat Aenerion (if Aenerion had the Sword of Khaine then it is an actual fight but I'm leaning to Grimnir.) But among 'mortals' and not ancestor gods. It'd come down to Aenerion and Gotrek being the top two. And I'd say it's a flip of the coin to see who wins. (Tyrion is probably in the top 10.)

Settra is amazing yes, but not the best melee fighter really. Sigmar always solid, Skarbrand is a complete beast. Nakai is mostly unknown, but Grymlok is amazing, the gimp he carries much less so. Worse than a Goblin Big Boss. Queek is decent, nothing special. As for Abhorash, he is totally unknwon, but since he can wreck a Dragon solo, is the original Blood Dragon Vampire, he should be good enough to wreck Archaon, Super rat assassin or anything else really The Green Knight was done dirty in TT, but still really good overall Grimgor is proper 'ard! He can wreck a dragon as well! Ungrimm Ironfist in both forms is a complete monster. Seriously nasty he is Gor-Rok is also seriously good! But got done dirty in TT as well, just a lame hero. Tyrion is a complete monster for fighting. With the Sword of Khaine nothing can stop him. If Wulrik is any use, it damn sure isn't in TT, he was a shite hero killed by all, victor over none. Archaon is a fighting legend with good casting abilities. Gotrek is plenty cool, but 90% of his wins is from plot armour. And he got tainted by Age of dogshit. As for the first Phoenix King, him and his pet beasty killed 4 Exalted Greater Daemons, so obviously he can go!
