Who do you reckon would win in a fight if all the primarchs were on a planet.
CONDITIONS:
They are by themselves, no other marines.
Pre-Heresy power. (No four gods horus, etc.)
No leaving the Planet.

I personally reckon that Alpharius/Omegon or Magnus would win. Alpharius/Omegon because they would sit back and relax as everyone smashed each other to bits. Magnus because he would be doing alot of the smashing, from a distance though. Corax, Horus, The Lion, Robot Girlyman and Sanguinus get honourable mentions.

Full power Sanguinus. In all his failings, he was heavily wounded. Poor boy.

Leman Russ was the only primarch able to match the emperor in single combat. They sparred often and were each others' equal.

Sanguinus could flyyy!

@BronzeJon
Think about it. If they all knew that, wouldnt he be the target priority? Also how do you know the Emperor was going full out?

No doubt Magnus for me.
His psychic power was second only to the Emperor at one point (?)
Oh sorry my brothers, you are now handsome frogs.
*ribbit*

I agree with that reckoning. The deal with alot of the primarchs, e.g Corax, Konrad etc, is that they are EXTREMELY GOOD situationally. This situation is not one of them.

Got to go with Fulgrim, he is the leader of the fratricide scoreboard with Manus’ head and “I couldn’t waste the 2 seconds to finish you” Guilliman.

Depends on how far apart they are.

magnus was no3 psyker in the imperium, its stated in the Heresy fluff, read first heretic.

I'd go with Horus then Sanguinius and Lion/Russ joint third, as Horus is stated as being the most powerfull, then sanguinius, its the coveted third place the others fall into

Angron was roughly equal with Sanguinius. So he's come third or second in a raging melee. Though considering Magnus could just blast them and Alpharius certainly isn't above just using a sniper rifle to pick them off, it's a pretty impossible question to answer.

Magnus, he destroys titans with his mind, which gives him a large advantage.

"a large advantage "

Leman Russ apparently head butts them to death .

So how does this go ... Guilliman is the first too die as EVERYONE bundles him. Lion goes after Horus because he thinks he should have been Warmaster as he was the First one to be created. Mortarion and Russ jump on Magnus who is trying to do some magic mumbo shizzle and quickly put him down. Peturabo and Kurze double team Dorn, who gets flattened and sliced at the same time. Lorgar is stood there trying to stop the fight.

Alpharius and Omegon are keeping their heads low and just bidding their time. Angron goes after Sanguinius as he's the only one to offer a challenge but he flies away. This annoys Angron who, unsurprisingly, gets angry and starts to yell. This attracts the attention of Ferrus who punches his head off. Lorgar is still trying to diffuse the situation.

Kurze and Corax are duking it out claw to claw until Vulkan turns them both to crispy critters with his flamer, that duly explodes as Ferrus crushes it with his hand flinging them both backwards. Alpharius and Omegon, never to turn down an opportunity, rush over to Ferrus and use his own fists to beat him to death with the 'stop hitting yourself' style. Vulkans stricken form is then poked a few times in the brain by Fulgrim who has done little but laugh at the whole situation and talk to himself.

After sharing an 'I never liked the one eyed git' moment Russ starts to punch Mortarion in the face, who after a few hits to the noggin', decides that he doesn't like being punched much and quicker than you can say 'there are no wolves on Fenris' slices Russ in half with his Manreaper. Russ was never that bright. Seeing his old rival now half the man he used to be Lion is distracted for a second, letting forth a guffaw of amusement, allowing Horus to give him a pat on the head and then a squeeze. Fulgrim is talking to Lorgar who looks somewhat confused.

The Khan has been running around chasing Sanguinuis who is still flying around like a fairy. Unfortunately for him, Sanguinuis is aware of this, who flies over a wide chasm which the Khan plummets into after not paying enough attention as to where he was running.

So who's left

Lorgar
Fulgrim
Horus
Alpharius/Omegon
Sanguinius
Mortarion
Peturabo

Fulgrim cuz he's sexy!

Roboute Guilliman because in such situation not the strongest but the best Tactican comes out on top. And thats Roboute Guilliman (and we know what happens in a Alpharius ./. Guilliman fight).

Nope. In straight hand-to-hand combat, Angron was the strongest.

My vote goes to Alpharius-Omegon. He'd just wait there till only one primarch is left standing then bash whoever it is from behind in the head with a gigantic warhammer. Sneakiness FTW!

Nobody knows for sure. The other Primarchs thought only Sanguinus and Russ could fight Angron hand-to-hand (and have a chance to win).

Magnus due to his physic might

But he would have to be a tactical geniu-

CREEEEEEEEEEED!

A drinking contest? Goes to Russ for sure.
Sanguinius in a martial contest, even Angron was hesitant to fight him.

Alpharius/Omegon since nobody would even know where they were at the whole battle and when there is only one other primarch left they would have one of them sit out as bait while the other sneaks up behind and stabs them in the back. Then they high five each other and dance to the "can't touch this" song.

I don't like it, but I have to go with Fulgrim.

I think these 2 would then have to fight to the death. So only A or O would win. Kinda like like asking weather Gork or Mork would win in a fight. But ignoring this sanguinous would kick them all in the butt. Horus only defeated him due to his chaos gods blessings.

No they wouldn't fight each other cause they are essentially the same person. Alpharius/Omegon is one soul inhabiting 2 bodies which is why his name is always written as Alpharius/Omegon. They would never fight each other since it would be like punching yourself in the face it serves no purpose.

You didn't even include my choice!!!


Redacted by the Inquisition is clearly the strongest and wisest Primarch. He proved that when he lead his 2nd Legion of Redacted by the Inquisition against Redacted by the Inquisition into the Redacted by the Inquisition and managed to Redacted by the Inquisition all by himself!

Hmm so its tied between Leman and Magnus?
Interesting.

Lol, so who was your choice? Redacted by the Inquisition , or Redacted by the Inquisition ?

Nah, Magnus can go toe to toe with Russ while simultaneously holding off his entire legion. Has to go to Magnus.

I understand and know this. But I would suggest that if they are individually not as strong as other primarchs then what's to say that a couple of other primarchs wouldn't gang up on them as a warm up to the main event. But like the film Battle Royal/highlander: "There can only be one." so if I was in charge I would make them fight. But really that's another question for another thread.
