It is the 31st millennium, and the Emperor of Mankind leads his genetically engineered warriors in an endeavorer to unite the far-flung fragments of Humanity in a campaign known as the Great Crusade. At the head of his endless Legions of Astartes are the Primarchs, superhuman beings created in the Emperor's own image, gods among men. But as the Emperor leaves the front lines to return to his throne on Terra, whispers that he has abandoned his warriors begin to circulate throughout the ranks of the Astartes. On Davin, the Warmaster Horus suffers a terrible wound from a cursed blade, and dies from his wounds, causing the Great Crusade to grind to a halt while a new Warmaster is appointed. The Emperor, hearing of the loss of his favored son, locks himself away in the Imperial Palace in mourning. This is where our story begins, with the Legions spread out across the galaxy, and the Primarchs waiting for the Emperor to appoint a new Warmaster.

THE RULES
In the Great Heresy RP, you will be taking on the role of one of the 17 Primarchs, leading your forces into battle, and deciding where your loyalties truly lie... You will make alliances, create battle plans, do a bit of politicking, and maybe, just maybe, overthrow the Master of Mankind. For all situations, I'll be using the PAN system for all rolls and tests. Let me explain, I pick a number, often 1-10, if you choose the correct number, or are rather close, you succeeded in your task. Like all PAN games, roleplaying is a major factor, so get in character, and go wild!

The first order of business is to elect a Warmaster, vote in the poll above, however, you cannot vote for yourself! Also, list your reasons for choosing that particular Primarch. After a Warmaster has been appointed, I will PM him about his orders, then you all will receive similar messages. Once I fill out the roster, we can get this started.

**shroud010**

i am Corax
i voted for Angon because he's aggressive combat tatics and out all war stategies will serve the emperor

**darksage**

I will be Fulgrim.
I voted Sanguinus. He is closest in his relationship to the Emperor and all around not slowed. [like Angron]

**Berserksteve**

I will be Ferrus Manus with his Iron Pimp hand!

I vote for Dorn because of his strength and ability to support the Emperor!

**mink580**

I will be Konrad Curze
I voted Magnus, For his large size, and his skill as a sorcerer

**blood reaper**

I will be Angron , Favourite Primarch even before the HH , plus he's a Strong leader and great fighter.
I voted Konrad Cruze , the Night Lords have brillant tactics.

**Raynor933**

I'll be Rogal Dorn of the Imperial Fists. I voted for Guilliman, since he was the second most successful Primarch after the now-deceased Horus.

**5anguniu5**

I voted for leman Russ and I am going to be Leman Russ.
I usually would vote for Sangunius, because I play BA , but I like Spacewolves,too. Also the Sangunius-spot was already filled.

**5anguniu5**

I correct myself since i voted for LR I am going to be Sangunius .... fits me better anyway

**Vulkan_He'stan**

Ill be umm umm ummm vulkan?

I vote for Jaghatai Khan cus hes fun to play tag with

**shroud010**

color theme

**azrael8**

I will be Lion El'Jonson because I love the Dark Angels.
I voted for Robote Gulliman because he seems like a logical choice; he's senisble, tough and favored.

**darksage**

[I'm going to cut someone if Rowboat Girlyman is the new Warmaster.]

**azrael8**

Agreed. I couldn't vote for myself, so... yeah.

What's wrong with Guilliman? He's a cool primarch, he takes planets and doesn't afraid of heretics.

**darksage**

First, every space marine "doesn't afraid of heretics." Space Marines aren't capable of fear. Ultramarines are the most pompuse Chapter there is. Gulliman imposed the Codex Asartes on every Legion making them disband into smaller Chapters. When Leman Russ pretty much said f*ck off to Gulliman, He threatened to start civil war because he didn't get his way. Not to mention he is all gw writes about nowadays. "The Ultramarines are the imbodyment of the Emperor, Every Chapter strives to be like them and those who don't are doomed to failure." I might be paraphrasing alittle, my apologies. Now I'm rambling. I wrote way to much for caring this little, lol.

Successful troll is indeed successful, but more to the point, none of that has happened yet. You can't go chosing Warmaster off of actions that have not happened, and possibly never will. Otherwise we might as well go re-read the Horus Heresy books.

**darksage**

Point made. I was speaking out of character when stating there are characters I do not like. Hey, maybe he will be better this time around who knows.

**Raynor933**

All depends on who decides to play him, I suppose.

**darksage**

Well I'm sort of assuming whoever plays each character isn't going to change the Primarchs personality completely. For instance, it would be kinda weird if Angron was never angry.

**Mordoskul**

Hey, be sure to tell your friends, we need to fill this roster soon, so spread the word.

**yeenoghu**

I am Leman Russ of the Space Wolves.

I vote for myself because I don't care about the rules I am the best.

As a second (and for the purpose of the poll), I pick that bureaucratic bootlick, Guilliman. For all his flaws at least he is loyal, and good at accounting.

**MeNotYou4497**

I am Magnus The Red

i Voted corax cuz it sounded cool

**Vulkan_He'stan**

7 more!

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

I will be Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars
