Why not?

That is not an answer.

Correct, it was a counter question. Why not?

A counter question that does not answer any element of the original question leads to this argument: Why not why?

Where's X to the Z exzibit when you need him?

He is secretly Ratchet

Or the Engineer.

SOMEONE"S SAPPIN MY FLUFF!

Anyone got the pic of Ferrus with the wrench?

For suck.

What I'm more worried about in that picture is how shapely and close fitting Fulgrim's leg armour is. It can't be very practical.

Plus Ferrus has an extremely dumb piece of armor that spikes right in front of his line of sight. Literally, he can't see in front of him in that crap.

It just looks like the artist did every thing in his power to make Ferrus look like a chump, complete and total, and Fulgrim look like a girly man...Which he kinda was...But it just makes the battle look ridiculous and one sided instead of epic and Primarch-like.

Fulgrim looks like an Eldar in that picture and Ferrus' weapon looks more like forgeMAKER than forgeBREAKER...because wrenchs fix stuff...

I voted Horus, just for his badassness in the Horus Heresy Books, in 2nd place for me would definatley have to be Angron... and 3rd Mortarion because Plague Marines are my favourite unit.

Leman Russ, he got drunk, chucked his spear at the moon, and made his followers go get it back.

Don't all Space Wolves get drunk? Sure, he may have been a brute, but when it came to real combat, he never stood a chance...

Magnus the Red because he is a Tzeentch sorcerer, yes, and survived having his
spine snapped by Russ.
Plus, he was pretty much the first primarch to lead a legion of psykers who were also marines,
which is a pretty epic combo.

Tell that to the techpriests with power wrench-axes.

Not really. Fulgrim looks like an Eldar/Slaanesh hybrid.

Sanguinius also survived having his back broken, but by a bloodthirster who's physical strength is undoubtedly more than a primarchs.

From what I understand Horus was the strongest in most ways.

1. Corax suggested only Horus and Sanguinius could best Angron;

2. Leman Russ lost to both the Lion and Angron in combat;

3. Rogan Dorn suggested he could beat Angron and didnt fear him, but still feared the Night Haunter;

4. Night Haunter nearly killed Rogal Dorn;

5. The Lion nearly killed the Night Haunter.

6. Corax fled from the Night Haunter although that doesnt necessarily mean he would have lost to him.

7. Lorgar punched Guilliman in the face so despite Lorgar not being rated as a toughie, he wasnt scared of Guilliman on that occasion.

8. Sanguinius is pretty tough.

All in all in terms of hardness in combat id say that the top would be Horus, Sanguinius, Angron and the Lion. Rogal Dorn, Conrad and Leman Russ honourable seconds...

I'm gonna go ahead and say Guilliman, I could go on about how his legion was the largest (some estimates put them at 300,000 strong), and possibly therefor the most powerful. Or his private empire. Or how he stepped up after the emperor was interred into the golden throne, and actually ran 'sortthisshitout.exe' while the other primarchs were off reconciling their grief with war.

But I think it's telling that when each of the two stricken legions were dissolved, the ultramarines legion grew.

Also Guilliman killed Alpharius, I'm sick of people making excuses about how he's still alive. I know GW has a hard time sticking to one story, but when someone is said to be killed by a primarch... they're dead. And if anyone questions this, what did Alpharius ever do after his fight with Guilliman? Nothing? Because that's usually something primarchs don't take part in unless they're dead.

The Lion.

He's been gathering his minerals for a while now...

Reported for Necromancy.


Really though, there's not really a "most powerful" Primarch: they were all roughly about level and capable of defeating one-another. This views been touted by the Black Library authors quite a lot, as I recall.
Unless you're referring to strength, in which case, that's Vulkan.
