Forget retconned. They are just the Men in Black of GW, though less cool. There are WAY too many similarities between Sigmar and the other Primarchs history to just deny it.

That's too bad, I like having more connections between WHFB and 40k than the "Stargate" at the Northern Pole that turned into the Warp's primary breach into the FB world.

Russ would have a whole lot more appeal if there hadn't been a typo on the blueprints of his namesake...


The problem continued for several centuries before an administratum clerk noticed the typo.

Used, piece of crap TANK. That can still blow you up with it's big middle finger.

Mortarion FTW! Love the whole wrapped in shredded rags and able to breathe gas that could probably kill the emperor and only get high.

Tabletop quality Orks for Sale. Plenty of converted vehicles. Moving and don't want. PM for details.

Not in the porn industry it doesn't.

Nope, as the story goes Mortarion vowed to kill a certain evil dude up in the poisonious atmosphere without the Emprahs aid. (before he got his legion) He sucumbed to the poisons and fell uncouncious, but the the Emprah just walked up to the bad dude, smacked him down, and carried Mortarion to safety. As a result Mortarion had to swaer fealty to Emprah.

No single Primarch could take on the Emprah. Not even Horus with ALL the Chaos gods behind him.

Does this shrill conspiracy theory of yours really allow you to continue thinking that a rational mind could actually prefer Dracula-Barbie to Leman Russ?

My favorite (non-obvious) thing about this poll right now (given that it should be declared closed and its result considered a matter of scientific law) is that Rogal Dorn--of all people--is beating out the Lion.

Eh, I have to admit, even without the "magic 30 votes" that were deposited, Russ would still be in the lead. At least Sanguinius is in the Final 3.

Dorn...was a jackass. Lion...was disturbed. Take your pick.

Well, we can agree that Dracula-Barbie is better than either of those two. Still, Dorn gets too raw a deal around here, especially from you EF. Did you ever read that Lexicanum article more closely, as I suggested?

No. I'm kind of lazy like that.

But after reading through several backrounds of traitor legions history before Horus Heresy, it certainly LOOKS like Dorn is a jackass. (from White Dwarf)

Firstly, Dorn boasts and brags about how impenatrable the fortress of Terra is to Pertuabo (Iron Warriors) and how he could never breach it.
Then he attacks the Night Lord primarch (who is slightly distubed and sad) for having visions about the Emprah killing him and calls him an ungrateful such-and-such.
Also (with gulliman) makes fun of Alphurious (Alpha Legion) as he was last Primarch and cannot hope to achieve what they have.

Finnaly, gets 400 hundred of his dudes killed for nothing in Pertuabo's trap, through sheer stubborness. (Gulliman had to bail him out)

Well, given all that you've just said (or rather restated), I think you'd better look at Dorn's entry. His worst flaw, IMO, is being just a shade less vanilla than Roboute.

Hmmm, yeah. Didn't really think about that.
Hopefully it's "big middle-finger" is a non-functional piece of crap too. It seems to be every time I face it in battle.
