Also, my favorite thing about Sangy, is Horus' speech about how Sanguinius should have been warmaster, not him.
He is an epic badass, looked super cool, and did a bunch of extreme things. My ranking of him will being extremely long and in depth.

Yeah, almost makes it inconceivable that he was slain at the hands of horus...since he had so many great qualities. Also I would have imagined in that skirmish between the two, Sanguinius could have bobbed and weaved Horus's attacks....since he must have been super agile.......WITH THAT SWEET PAIR OF WINGS ON HIS BACK!!!

4250 points of Blood Angels goodness, sweet and silky W12-L6-D4
1000 points of Teil-Shan (my own scheme) Eldar Craftworld in progress
800 points of unassembled Urban themed Imperial Guard

675 points of Commoraghs finest!

You must remember, the Horus battle was after he had both his legs broken (after 3 full days of fighting)

Breaking Something Valuable

Y'know... in response to Element206... IF SANQUINIUS RANKS TOP 3 I AM VIRTUAL PUNCHING YOUR FACE! No offense meant to you, I just have things I dislike about all the primarchs, and things that I don't... so please, god, try to be objective.

YOU ALL!

Alrighty, I know I've taken a long time off, but finally, another ranking

Number 12: Vulkan


Well, Vulkan. Another character I know little about. When he was four, he decided not to hide from the Dark Eldar raiders. Standing there, with his two smithing hammers, he inspired the people to rise up and they defeated the deldar. Then to celebrate his victory, the Emprah appeared. He did not reveal himself, but he said he could beat anyone in the competition. The towns people laughed and thought Vulkan would surely win. Even going as so far as wagering whoever lost had to serve the victor. They were perfectly tied, so they had an epic tiebreaker. Hunt down the biggest Salamander with a weapon you forge. Vulkan ran out and hunted a big'un. On his way back the moutain, which turned out to be a volcano (lol) erputed and Vulkan was left to cling onto the edge for hours, never letting go of the salamander. The Emprah ran over, and tossed his clearly superior salamander into the river of lava, and saved Vulkan. They went to town, and Vulkan was declared winner. However, he bowed to the Emprah, saying, "any man who would value life over pride was worthy of his service." Then, the Emprah revealed he was the Emprah. I think that is a pretty cool thing, to serve the Emprah even though he lost. Well, thats the last solid info about him, other than he was at the dropsite massacre and he would return in the End Times. I really like Vulkan's back story, but there is virtually no more info (that I can gather from Lexicanum) and that is why he is low. There are other primarchs ranked a bit higher than him I don't know much about, but they are coming up fast

That, and Vulkan chose to be a dick and scatter his artifacts all over the place, rather than give them to his men to use to win battles.

True, true.
Today would have been a double rank, but I had to go to the movies, which turned into 'lunch, movies, walmart' so it took six fething hours.

Read uninformed fan-spank about primarchs
Note typical ultramarine-hate "cuz its cool to hate smurfs"
scroll through pages of "discussion" to see whos next
Become horribly dissapointed with lack of research or effort
scroll through more pages of "discussion" and "excuses for not posting"
Become horridly unimpressed with topic and leave nerdrage comment
I would have ranked X as X place because he's cooler than your primarch and also the primarch you like is a poofter.
End of thread

Also, Mukkin About, its people like you that made me take off so long on my stupid rankings. Almost nobody was reading it, and so I lost interest.
If somebody else like you pops up and just says, 'oh your thread sucks for x reasons' I'm just going to copy and paste my list of ranking with no explanation, then have a mod lock my thread.

If you are tired of the threads ranking the primarchs than just don't read the thread. You don't need to post on the thread about how it sucks. Stop being a little whiny and man up. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions although some people are less deserving of this right than others. So stop trolling and feth off.

haha

Dakka is exactly about posting how much things suck (I.e discussion). Thats pretty much all 40k forums. Everyone is entiled to their own opinion yet you chastise me for expressing mine? Also Im not a troll but if you think I am why would you feed me.. haha.

@ lucifer Personally I thought it was a bit when you started talking bout sangy.. suspense man. Why would I care if you locked your own thread who does that punish?

@LLF Thanks I was curious who started it. I actually don't think its fail.

So the 3, possibly 4 people who are reading my thread could see my rankings. If no one wants me to rank them, I won't.
And Sanguinius is one of my favorites, but not number one.
