What primarch Would you be

Definitely the Lion. Cold, calculating, indifferent, tactically sound and ruthlessly efficient.

I also go to sleep for long periods of time, and black is SO in right now.

I would have to say Pre Heresy Horus. He was a Powerfull man in both war hand politics

Angron all the way. He was the only primarch who had a real, and serious reason to not just turn against the emperor, but to also try and overthrow him. Out of all the other whiny emo-soaked complaints of the other primarchs, only Angron had a real beef. Give him leberty or.. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Call me stupid but what was Angrons Beef with the emperor?

Quoted from the World Eaters Index Astartes article --

"It was around this time that the Emperor came to this world, drawn by the psychic aura of the Primarch. The Emperor had observed Angron in secret from orbit for some time, watching with pride as he led the slaves in battle. Now he descended to the planet's surface, offering Angron leadership of the World Eaters Space Marine Legion and a place at his side. But, to the Emperor's surprise, Angron refused. His place was here, with his fellow slaves, and he would die before deserting them. Angron and the slaves dug their graves during the night, a signal to their enemies that they would fight to the death rather than surrender. The Emperor knew that even though Angron was a Primarch, he would perish in the coming battle and, bringing his ship into low orbit, teleported Angron away from Fedan Mhor. Without their leader, the morale of the slaves was destroyed and the following morning they were slaughtered by the combined armies of the planet's rulers. In space, as the Great Crusade continued, Angron eventually took command of the World Eaters, but never forgave the Emperor for his abduction from the planet and what he saw as a betrayal of his martial honour."

Wow what kinda douche would do that. Thanks for the info

Joining in and drastically swinging the fight in the slave's favour and then having a planet quite loyal to the Emperor may have been a significantly better option, but hindsight is a bitch.

Which primarchs aren't dead yet? That's who I want to be...alive.

This is a tough call...

hmmm...

You know, I'm not certain what it is, but there's something about you that makes me think I could guess what primarch you identify with.

Gotta be Roboute.

Yep, final answer.

Well, discounting all the Daemon Primarchs and the MIA Loyalists leaves Guilliman. Still suspended in a Stasis field on Macragge.

I choose Alpharius. I always liked his doctrine. "Use whatever works". And who can resist the lure of Assassin Spy Ninja Astartes .

Seeing as we're talking about a fictional world I want to choose epoch as well as primarch...

Sanguinius in his prime. In the "Angels of Death" codex from 2nd ed (what got me into the hobby) it was said several times that his DNA was superior, and he managed to eke out a good life despite being one of the few with obvious mutations. BTW, who was the guy with only one eye? Him and Sang are the only ones I can think of.

The Lion is still alive, just in a super-coma in the Rock.

For reasons I don;t want to go into right now, I identify most with Corax.

Magnus the Red, who was also a powerful Sorcerer.

Leman Russ really sounds like he's having the best time of all the Primarchs. He drinks, he fights with his superhuman pals, brawls other primarchs for entire days, laughs it off, and goes and drinks some more. Dude basically lived in Valhalla on the mortal plane.

A good choice!

Plus, he is still alive...

...maybe!

Old Corax or New Corax?

Because, as we've learned in RAVEN'S FLIGHT, Corax can kick some serious ass!

Night Haunter. I'll be a super-human vigilante? Why the feth not?

Leman Russ is still alive as well. Searching for something to bring the Emperor back to life.

Alpharius/Omegon definately. My second choice would be Russ. Both are willing to go against the grain to save the empire.

I haven;t gotten to listen to that yet. I mean, I assumed he could kick ass already. Pretty much all of the Primarchs could...

I just meant I identify with his period of brooding after all that loss, and his substandard attempts to fix the problem.

Off Topic, but does Raven's Flight go into Corax personality alot? He's always been my favorite primarch, for his tactics and doctrine. I'd like to know more about the actual man.

I would be Omegon. Its like Alpharius, but alive! Presumably unmutated and desguised as some random legionare, still fightin' the good fight. Against the imperium and for humanity!

Corax, I want to be a primarch jedi! Also the raven guard are my favorite chapter so it kind goes to him.

The Night Haunter because then I could be psychotic and beat the snot out of Rogal Dorn.. Sure I go completely crazy and destroy my own homeworld but thats not a big deal. When M'shen comes I'll just smile.

Definitely the Lion. Cold, calculating, indifferent, tactically sound and ruthlessly efficient.

QFT!

Leman Russ is still alive as well. Searching for something to bring the Emperor back to life.

Actually he went looking for His old friend Lion El'Johnson. Although that was old fluff and GW changes it on a daily basis it seems...

I would be Sanguinius because I would want to look good in a few thousand years. Though I admit, it would be taking a step down looks wise.

Konrad Curze.

Of course, all of you say he's just crazy, which is wrong, I'll give a real reason, which I have said once before.

Konrad Curze, or "Night Haunter" was born a poor boy, he wasn't adopted or anything, he killed the corrupted men, those who did wrong, and made the planet what it was.

All I see is people identifying him akin to Jack the Ripper, which is wrong. He didn't do anything wrong, he is the equivalent of Batman, but in the future. I will without a doubt bet a thousand dollars that GW got Konrad Curze from Batman.

He let his Legion get out of hand, he wasn't a fit general. He wasn't a commander, he was a loner all his life, and thats hard to change. Eventually, Chaos turned him and his Legions actions into less than justifiable.

He acted on hate, and revenge.

His personality identifies alot with mine. One part of me values focus and precision greatly, while the other loves to see others suffer. That makes me pretty fethed up, but that is pretty much what Night Haunter was after the Horus Heresy.

Gotta go Ferrus Manus on this one. Flesh isn't perfect, and it only distracts from the on going battle. Plus, they are an armored chapter WITH faith in the Emperor. Thats all I could ask for.

(Hell, I liked them so much, my chapter is founded from the Iron Hands)

I'd be Rogal Dorn. I'm sort of boring, have definite opinions on what's right and wrong that I feel very strongly about, and in the end I'm very good at just shutting up and doing what I'm told.

Angry-non. Who can argue with BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Definitely Jag'hatai Kahn, nothing proclaims "survival of the fittest" like a Primarch modeled after Genghis Khan.
