Darn

i wanted some EPIC love tale about the big E and some Terren Princess.

I used to make arrow in the knee jokes, then I got whacked by the Dovakiin...in the knee

Yes, I play GKs. "Cheese" you say? Take a look at this Terminator, notice he's pewter. Now notice the weight as I termi-sock you. *WACK* NOW!!! I been Playing GKs since their Force Weapons bypassed EW, everyone was WS5, Stormshields ONLY worked in CC, and Justicars cost 50 fricking points each!!! Don't you accuse me of Cheese! I waited for this Cheese and if i am not going to use it against you. Why I aught to shove it in the heater grates and turn the Thermostat up to 70 degrees. CELSIUS! TAKE THAT

That would be how GK came about. Big E and a Female super psycher made super law abiding psyco space marines. Come on jay walking is punishable by death to them. so is not saying Emperor Bless you when some one sneezes.

Malchador being the Emperors real child is an interesting theory. lets hope he was the same size as a normal child(that poor woman )

JD: you better rank another primarch before we lock your thread due to Off-topicness


She must have been sooooommme woman. wasn't the Emperor like, 15ft tall?

13th: "I bet Russ is in first place, because Dave clearly is a Space Wolf player."

That's right, the Primarch of my favourite Space Marine Chapter is ranked at an average thirteenth.
Leman Russ is arguably the toughest, meanest and downright most dangerous Primarch. Considered by some to be 'designed' to be able to defeat any other Primarch or enemy and in my opinion, capable of defeating even Angron in combat. Also, just look at his picture: How damn mean is he?! All you need to do is look at him and you know he's badass and going to kick your [Cyclopean]butt to infinity and beyond.
Then why is he ranked 13th I hear you ask/type/think?
Simply put, because he is - as some murderised tyrant put it - "The Emperor's Lap Dog". Russ is so cool and so bad-ass, but he doesn't appear to have any of his own morals or initiative. Lets take a look at his whupping of Magnus for example; whilst he did prove he is oh-so-very brutal, he also proved he'll listen to almost any order he's given. None of the other Primarch's fought another without a pang of regret or suitable motivation (eg. Fulgrim/Ferrus), yet Russ attacks his brother-Primarch simply because Horus told him to? [insert jumping of cliff cliché here]
Magnus was unaltered from his usual form and hadn't really committed any truly heretical actions yet Russ attacks him seemingly without remorse or regret. He could've just 'apprehended' Magnus as the Emperor ordered him to, but instead he takes two Legions away from defending the Imperium during the Horus Heresy. I know he was ordered to and I know he hated sorcery, but damn, show a bit of emotion as you kick your brothers ass to another dimension! Magnus had done nothing to show Russ personally that he needed to be attacked without trial, an offer of surrender would've done.
Also, Russ once again showed the immature and shallow streak that many of the Primarchs so far (Jonson and Perturabo, I'm looking at you!), when he once again attacked (although with fisty-cuff's this time) his brother. and over what? Because he killed the enemy leader?! So what if he called you a name?? You've been freakin' shot at and endured much worse!

The modern Space Wolves (like the Iron Hands) that we know of in the Imperium are better off without Russ as now they do any but blindly follow their orders; now they look out for the people of the Imperium and don't blindly attack their allies. Whereas Russ would follow said orders and would attack said allies without motivation.

So a shock result at number 13, it's the Emperor's lapdog, Leman Russ, who despite his image of awesomeness and badassery, never acted (maturely) on his own instinct and lets be honest, drank a little bit too much.

It's times like this that I'm happy my chapter does not have an identified primarch ... we're just part of the faceless hoards of questionable Imperial parentage.

We are gonna find him and make him divide by zero.

Which is what Slaanesh did and you know how bad that turned out...

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Dave, keep going. I finished mine, and if you do not finish yours then I will kill myself. My tortured soul will descend into hell where it would amass a mighty army. This army will take on a new and terrible form increasing my diabolical powers, and I will open a portal from that world to this. After six days and six nights my army will descend through this portal to kill and maim all in it's path, before I open one of my nine mouths and sing the song that ends the earth.

And that would be bad.

"So you see child, the Haunter was not killed for his part in the Heresy. He was not killed to halt excesses or unsanctioned behaviour. No... no, he was killed by a father who thought nothing of using him. Of twisting him into a hated monstrosity. Of demanding atrocities and horrors from him to scare his enemies into submission. Of taking from him everything that was pure, everything that was human, and, then repaying the sacrifice with betrayal.

So tell me this. Do you still believe you aren't being used? Do you still think you'll find some acceptance, some reward in death for your loyal service? Do you still think the hatred of the masses is irrelevant? Do you still think your Emperor loves you?"

12th: "Why Does Nobody Like Me?!"

Yes, the much anticipated ranking of Gulliman, the guy that everyone loves to hate. Except of course the Ultramarines and half of the Imperium...

So we've had anger, immaturity, ignorance and idiocy. Now we've come to arrogance. By which I mean, assuming that you're right and perfect and everyone else is wrong. I'm looking at you Codex Astartes! Even his Legion isn't modestly named - I mean, Ultramarines?! Ultra Marines?! How about 'Bestestmarines'? or 'Ubermarines'? or 'fairlyaveragemarines'? As a guy and as a leader, Gulliman isn't too bad. Actually he's a freakin' great tactician and the Ultramarines were fairly Ultra. But still, not everyone has to follow the Codex Astartes, or fight the same way as you. Not everyone managed to keep their Legion unharmed. Not everyone likes you. Clearly.

One of my gripes with Gulliman is that he perceives he is always right. Such as the Codex Astartes or bullying Kurze. Even the Emperor wasn't always right, let alone you! The Night Lords were devastatingly effective as sometimes they didn't even need to fight, just scare the enemy, part of Kurze turning traitor is because Gulliman kept criticising the poor little guy! The Codex astartes it self is flawed and arguably worse than the Legion set-up but still, Gulliman had to have his way! If it wasn't for the fact he had 20 twins anyone would think him to be an only child!

I admit, I don't mind Gulliman too much, I like his loyalty and ability. However, that doesn't mean I think the astronomican shines out of his ass! I admit Roboute, you're a helluva leader and you're Legion is/was almost invincible. However, that was largely because their was so many of the blighter's (randy gene-seed?!) and even so, it doesn't mean you're perfect. if you were perfect, you would've been on Terra bitch-slapping Horus to the Eye of Terror and beyond!

Also, the Imperium (modern) is a corrupt and dying society and we can partially thank you for that with your Codex and High Lords and things. Thanks Roboute, nice job mate. Really Ultra.

So despite being an almost Knight and Great Leader, Roboute is ranked at number 12 because he has his self-righteous head shoved so far up his ass that he thinks Yellow and Blue don't clash?! That my friends is a fashion foul-up of the highest order and is therefore unforgivable.
