So in a 1v1 fight which primarch would win, my moneys on Angron. He's one crazy son of a bitch and has a very short temper.


EDIT: This is Pre-heresy so half the primarchs aint drugged up, im looking at you Fulgrim or dead.

One on One? Angorn by far.

He's a Daemon Prince and had the most badass upbringing aside from Lion and Russ.

Sanguinius, the only reason he got beat by horus was because horus was mad with power that wasn't his. Even Horus said, pre-heresy, that Sanguinius should have been warmaster.

Drink deep of victory and remember the fallen.

Hmmm... I wish I could say Sanguinius, seeing as he's my favorite primarch, but I'd also have to say Horus. Either that or Fulgrim.

I remember reading in the Blood Angels book, Deus Sanguinius that Sanguinius was the best swords master every, of all time, and that no one could beat him in a sword fight. Dont forget Horus was an Evil chaos possessed practically a daemon in a space marine suit when he killed him.

Then again so were the other Chaos Aligned Primarchs, save for Alpharius. But that's beside the point. Possessed Angry Horus was still Posessed Angry Horus. He was just Posessed and Angry

Its a fight between Sangy and Russ.

Horus was the made the warmaster for his tactical genius, not for his fighting prowess. the dark gods pumped him up to fight the emprah.
Sangy was the best *swordsman but not necesarily the best fighter or the "toughest" primarch.

My money is on Russ.

THE HORUS HERESY: Emprah: Hours, go reconquer the galaxy so there can be a new golden age. Horus: But I should be Emprah, bawwwwww! Emprah: Magnus, stop it with the sorcery. Magnus: But I know what's best, bawwwwww! Emprah: Horus, tell Russ to bring Magnus to me because I said so. Horus: Emprah wants you to kill Magnus because he said so. Russ: Fine. Emprah's always right. Plus Ole Red has already been denounced as a traitor and I never liked him anyway. Russ: You're about to die, cyclops! Magnus: O noes! Tzeentch, I choose you! Bawwwww! Russ: Ah well. Now to go kill Horus. Russ: Rowboat, how have you not been doing anything? Guilliman: . . . I've been writing a book. Russ: Sigh. Let's go. Guilliman: And I fought the Word Bearers! Horus: Oh shi--Spess Puppies a'comin? Abbadon: And the Ultramarines, sir. Horus: Who? Anyway, this looks bad. *enter Sanguinis* What are you doing here? Come to join me? Sanguinius: *throws self on Horus's power claws* Alas, I am undone! When you play Castlevania, remember me! *enter Emprah* Emprah: Horus! So my favorite son killed my favorite daughter! Horus: What about the Lion? Emprah: Never liked her. Horus: No one does. Now prepare to die! *mortally wounds Emprah*Emprah: Au contraire, you dick. *kills Horus* Dorn: Okay, now I just plug this into this and . . . okay, it works! Emprah? Hellooooo? Jonson: I did nothing! Guilliman: I did more nothing that you! Jonson: Nuh-uh. I was the most worthless! Guilliman: Have you read my book? Dorn: No one likes that book. Khan: C'mon guys. It's not that bad. Dorn: I guess not. Russ: You all suck. Ima go bring the Emprah back to life.

How is Russ obviously not the one to win? Can anyone else go toe to toe with the Emperor like that with out external sources?
NOOOOPE! Sangy was great at SWORDSMANSHIP, but this is RUSS! He'd throw his spear at the boy and slam a shoulder to his nose so hard he'd cry blood for a week.

"From the fires of Betrayal unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favored Son of Chaos, all praise be given to him. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the Boon of Pain, to turn the Galaxy red with the blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods."

you forget russ was one on one with the lion and took a beating (well they both did) but no clear winner

I wish my lawn was emo...
Then it would cut itself.

In the end, SoB are uppity female canines who enjoy their faith in the emperor so much, I'd say they themselves are no longer truly human. They've given up normal life in exchange to become bolter-bitches.

Russ held his own against the Emperor until he got Pow-Fisted in the gut, Horus had the help of 4 gods and didn't last long enough.

I'd love to vote Russ but I'd have to go for Magnus though, after all, one on one he was beating Russ until Morkai jumped into the mix. The guy's a super sized cyclops giant with magic, that has got to be a tough cookie to beat.
