With male pattern baldness being a prevalent side-effect of space marine gene-seed, I think it is clear that in order to find the best, purest gene-seed we must find the primarch with the best hair.

Let's make this a poll, because it's so awesome



Lion El'Jonson


Leman Russ


Ferrus Manus


Fulgrim


Vulkan


Rogal Dorn (Whoa a non-bald non-hippy!)


Roboute Guilliman (Is he from Jersey? He looks like a relative of FC hairgel.)


Magnus the Red (Warning gingervitus can lead to heresy)


Sanguinius


Perturabo


Mortarion (I think the witch doctor from beetlejuice got a hold of this guy)


Lorgar


Jaghatai Khan


Konrad Curze


Angron (Anyone noticing the overwhelming number of bald evil primarchs?)


Corvus Corax(Konrad Curze called, he wants his hairstyle back)


Alpharius/Omegon (Yet more evil baldies, coincidence?)


Horus

Which one had that wicked awesome mullet? He gets my vote.

Hmm well they do talk about Fulgrims hair a lot, though he is already showing signs of aging as it's white...

Angron had cabling. Cabling over hair. It's science.

Sanguinus had some pretty luscious locks, IIRC.

Indeed.

I don't know...the beard on the Khan or Russ is pretty awesome.

Please, Magnus has a luxurious fiery mane that puts Lion'el and Sanguinius to shame.

Does that make him a ginger? No wonder the Emperor didn't trust him...

Leman Russ is clean-shaven actually.

Ironically, his mane is far more leonine than the Lion's. I guess that is just another reason Magnus' brothers are mad jelly of him.

So what happened, is the first sign of the gene-seed weakening astartes pattern baldness? All the primarchs have luxurious long hair, and all the space marines in the 41st millenium are bald.

Not all the Primarchs.

Ferrus Manus was bald, as was Horus. Dorn's hair was short, for another loyalist example. Guilliman's too.

Maybe effective hair-care products were lost to the warp during the Horus Heresy.

Rogaine, one of the many forgotten secrets from the dark age of technology!

I feel pics should be included for consideration

Fulgrim. Fabio in power armor.

Now, if the FW team sculpts Rogal Dorn without a moustache, I'm quitting 40k. Word.

Glad to see another good Primarch model.

I was scared out of my mind when I saw the ugly abomination that is Fulgrim.

Now with pictures, and a poll!

Ugh. Is that seriously the FW Ferrus Manus?

What is wrong with it?

Ohh, I would so love to vote in this poll but unfortunately my vote doesn't appear to be on the ballot

Honestly though, Corax. His wings on his jump pack make up for his lack of style he does to his hair. I mean really though, if it was any bigger it'd get caught in the intakes and lead to...... problems

So is Sanguinius hair blond or black? I’m asking this because he seems to switch between the two every now and again.

Sanguinius is something of a foppish dandy, and changes his hair color every few months or so.

I'm finding it difficult to decide between Magnus and Sephiroth Fulgrim.

Fulgrim and Sanguinius clearly have the best hair, but it's almost certain Fulgrim took much better care of his. He'd be in the shampoo adverts of M31 for sure.

Yeah...

He's lacking, well. Something.

I think its his face that kills it.

Yo dawg I heard you liked Servo Arms

Who's Corvex?

None of the above. The Primarch who had the best hair, his name is unknown, His Legion has been stricken from Imperial records. All that remains is a picture of him:

Why do none of them have curly hair? Russ is kinda curly, more likely just messy and tangled though. There needs to be a primarch with a jew-fro or something.

I think perterbo should have have the red curly jew fro. It would explain why he was treated the way he was.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Not enough people are talking about the great hair of Russ! Only reason he might not deserve to win is because he has the 'worst' tank chasis in the universe named after him. Seriously just use the Rhino chasis it's so much easier to maintain!

Off-track ^

Why are we able to vote for the bald ones?

Agreed, seeing Garfunkel's great-great-great-great-great-great [...] great-great grandson in charge of a Legion would be marvelous.

What.The.Warp.And its actually alpharius.Everybody is him in disguise.

For the most part this could be a quick question: what looks better, a bald/shaved head or long flowing locks. Most of them seem to have one or the other.

Khan hands down what he lacks in character he makes up for epic hair style.

 darthnatus wrote:

Hell yeah!


erm...most = best right?

I like the new Ferrus Manus sculpts hairstyle tbh.

Magnus the Red not Magnus the ginger.

Anyway, Magnus wins, he had big and honking hair that stood up on his own. Big. And. Honking.

Weather accurate or not I prefer Leman Russ hairstyle and general look in Prospero Burns rather than the flaming red head.

To me it seems more wolfsih and less like kyle from south park.

Dorn - block grey head is just cool

Sanguinius had the best natural hair, but Fulgrim tried the hardest.

The Lion... obviously. That hair is straight up fabulous.

I really love how Fulgrim is pretty much identical to the fire emblem character Zihark (i wonder if the designers played 40k)

My wife has got me hooked on Supernatural, mostly because I'm all but convinced that Sam and Dean are the two lost primarchs and John is the God-Emperor. They were sent back in time by chaos (because they were the most attuned to it; though not in the way they wanted) and John/Big E followed them. He groomed them to fight Chaos in an attempt to try and undermine the ruinous powers before things got REALLY bad.


But to answer the poll, Russ gets my vote. I imagine he had Thor hair (correctly red, I might add) and gets portrayed as having a pretty wicked permanent 5'o'clock shadow.

I voted for Lion El'Jonson because he has the prettiest hair of the bunch.

Rogal Dorn. Only if he looks like this.

I WANT DORN'S FACE!

On a side note I voted for khan, his hair just adds to how glorious he looks, I will always picture him surfing a razorback while in high heels. Nothin beats that.

Magnificent. All he needs now is a pith helmet....

Something very Monty-Python-esque about the Lion Picture...

Do people really love twilight, and true blood nonsense so much that they vote for blood angels on everything?

Sanguinius has my vote, he definitely conditions.

Niexist wrote:

Because obviously, Blood Angels are a twilight rip-off...

Look at the poll.
Look at the hair of the primarchs.

This poll is pretty much made for Sanguinius to win with his flowing blonde locks...
We may as well have had 'Which primarch had the best wings?'

Except, if you actually look at the pictures, sanguinius has a stupid part, and his hair is just a shorter version of the lions. The only reason to vote for him is because "vampires are cool"

I didn't vote for him anyway.
I voted Russ, because werewolves are cool...

Best hair IMO? Magnus with his 'Lion-O' 'do.

I think you will find fulgrim has this sown up! Not only does he have the most lushous of locks but i have it on good authority that he prides him self on having collected the finest range of imperial merkins money can buy!

I think you'll find Russ grew his own merkin.
1 Grown by yourself is worth two from the shop.

I'm just saying, if you look at the hair, he's just a shorter version of lion's with a stupid part, how is that better in any way?? Here is a model comparison if the picture wasn't enough




If you think that the second is better than the first hair-wise, you might be a twilight fanboy.

In that pic, the lions hair to forehead ratio would stop me voting for him

Niexist really likes the Dark Angels.

I wonder if the emperor's flowing locks rival sanguinius'. Then again, the thread would fill with Emperor=Jesus stuff... and that never ends well.

Surprised at the number of people who voted for the bald primarchs, too

Just re-read the poll - Corvex?

Guys, guys! I found it. A picture of the Primarch of the second Legion. And he truly has the best hair:

Somehow, I knew what was behind the spoiler tags.
I must be psychic

Bring it. Then I can start sharing the horror.

Mortarion obviously wins this one.
Well..ok, Sanguinius wins

The answer to this is clearly Sanguinius. His flowing locks are easily the best hair.

Sanguinius. You blonde, blue-eyed, criminal you....

I want to vote for the various daemon prince's hair! I mean, the classic GW models that actually had hair... Think Goff Rok and Rolla era models, when the sculptors make all this crazy stuff.

Another thread would be more appropriate

Ah, just pm it.

The Ogre cheerleaders are scary.



Anyways, Sanguinius, ofcourse! And Dorn.

B*tch, please: Fulgrim, he's just FABULOUS.

Edit: Damn, I wish I looked like that Rogal Dorn that was posted in page 2. Magnificent face, mustache and hair. A true gentleman as he's bashes your face in.

Fulgrim and Sang tie for best hair.

I think the second primarch was David Bowie.

This isn't rocket science, people.

Fulgrim wins.

Why? Because he, like his legion, strives for perfection in all things. That includes hair. Therefore, Fulgrim's hair must be the closest to perfection of any of the primarchs.

Fulgrim of course.

I'm amazed nobody voted for Curze

I'll take being a lion king fanboy over a twilight fanboy any day of the week. If you really think people are voting for Sanguinius because he was angelic rather than that they play blood angels then I don't know what to tell you. I vote for Lion El'Johnson because I am a dark angel player and love the dark angels. My main thought is in why such a huge amount of people play Blood Angels? It must be because a great deal of people who get into this hobby are twilight types (I won't go into what type that is, but I'm pretty sure we all know)and Blood Angels are the natural choice for these sorts.. I picked Dark Angels because they came in my box set, no other reason.

This isn't reflected just in this thread, look at any thread in which the primarchs are a poll, sanguinius always wins. Why? Twilight.

I really think you are over playing the Twilight thing, Blood Angels were massively popular before Twilight. But I digress I voted Sanguinus because he has the best locks. And I'm a Blood Angels fan boy to boot

Twilight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bram Stoker's Dracula, the sexy vampire don't try to make it specific to twilight, you know what I'm talking about dude.

Nosferatu?


And I really don't think that Blood Angels popularity is down to Hollywoods bastardisation of a classic horror genre to appeal to Tweens. I do think it would have something to do with the fact that A) they fairly recently had a top tier codex, which put them in the shop window of GW, B) they are a First founding chapter, whose Primarchs was arguably second to none, and played out the matyr in one of the most pivotal scenes of the heresy and C) (this one may just be me) they are Space Marines in red, that like to smash people in the face at high speeds.


And as a side point, whilst I don't mind having a light hearted argument about sexy vampires and who should be the new face of Head and Shoulders, please don't be hypocritical, it was you who originally made this Twilight specific.

I have best hair out of all. Even the rotting empra cannot stand agains my mane.

Now on serious note I voted for Fulgrim. that glorius bastard.
