He is also the only brother that became a chaos god. All the others were doomed to being Demon Princes. Also the sons of Malal sound like they kick a ton of A$$.

I also do like Corax also known as SPACE BATMAN!!!

I think you might be confused. Malal isn't a primarch and it's Conrad Curze who's space batman.

Yeah, Conrad is space batman, Corax is space ninja. Totally different, get it straight!

Wut? Writing a treatise on organization, strategy and tactics is telling the enemy what your gonna do? Quick, someone phone Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Rommel and the US military!

You've got it completely wrong, Corax isn't a space ninja, he's a flying space ninja! Completely different.

Thanks For thee help Mr. Nobody. Sorry i got them mixed up. But from what i heard Malal is an x primarch. His follower group is the sons of Malal. They were one of the first marine chapters from what i was told

You were told wrong.

Could you tell me were you read this. I don't doubt you its just that i want to find some more back round on Malal its very scarce.

Alpha legion fanboys always go on about Alpharius as if he is the best thing ever 'Oh Alpharius isn't dead that's just what he want's you to think', 'Alpha legion aren't chaos they are the good guys' blahblah. I like Mortarion there's something about his backstory that intrigues me, his homeworld is only described in the most abstract of terms. Of course he has the obligatary misguided tragic heroism and the resulting traitor legion aren't particularly engaging. He has the coolest name.

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Malal

From the article:

Use of Malal in further Games Workshop productions ceased around 1988, the same year the first of the two Realm of Chaos background books was published. Malal is not referred to or mentioned at all in these products. There was also an uncertainty as to who actually owned the rights to the concept of Malal - the comic's authors or Games Workshop.

He no longer exists in the Warhammer or Warhammer 40,000 universe, and at no time was he a Primarch.

Corax because as previously stated hes a space ninja
and anyone whos that big but can still be stealthy has skillz

Maurin wrote:Yeah, Conrad is space batman, Corax is space ninja. Totally different, get it straight!

i dunno corax is the one obssesed with birds AND he has wings....

my top 5

1: Leman Russ (well derr I play space wolves)
2: Vulkan (he likes to swim in fire)
3: Rogal Dorn (he took an entire chaos ship by himself)
4:Corax (he's an freaking primarch ninja)
5: Horus ( he killed sanguinus which means alot in my books)

also my least favourite
1: rowboat girly man Lion'El and sanguinus are the worst I don't like them they are the emperors only daughters.
2:all the other chaos ones for being chaosy and betraying the emperor

No were in this does it say that Malal wasn't a primarch. It also doesnt say that he is so, in course i wasn't wrong but neither were you. Its a draw.

I have to take dorn, but i'm in love the Black Templars. They're lunatics with swords!

Sanguinius
"Whilst many of his brothers fought solely out of the joy of battle, Sanguinius fought to secure the golden era of peace and prosperity which would surely follow. His vision was the Emperor's, a hope of Mankind united in peace and prosperity. Alas, it was a vision not to be."

*facepalm*
Eldrad, from taking a look at your earlier posts, it seems that you dont really have a clear idea what a Primarch is.
Here: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Primarch

The Primarchs were the twenty genetically-engineered "sons" of the Emperor. The Emperor used his own DNA in their creation, and they were designed to be far superior to the average human: immensely larger, stronger, hardier, faster, and more intelligent. They were also incredibly charismatic, as their main role was to be generals and leaders of the Imperial military.

There were twenty (20), two (2) of which have been erased from Imperial records. The other eighteen (20-2=18) are all known and named. The two that are missing have never been named, ever, with the sole exception being Rubinek, which only appeared once a long time ago and has been retconned.

Games Workshop also does not use Malal any more in the fluff; they havent since 1988. Im gonna take a shot in the dark and say this is longer than you've been alive. Malal is not a primarch.

... Naaah. Cause the emperor doesn't get slapped around by a drunk Viking.

Eldrad wrote:The best to you the one you like most

These threads are so old.

Its not 'which is the best" thread.

Its a useless "Which primarch do you think is the coolest" that we've had a hundred or more times.

Definitely Curze, crazy heavy-handed justice-obsessed superhuman Batman. I love the fear tactics and fanatical devotion to his cause he imbued in his legion. To the point of destroying his own home planet because it fell back into corruption and crime in his absence.

Other than the Night Haunter, Dorn is a close second.

1st place: Sanguinius, He held the palace gate by his lonesome, then he teleported onto the barge where Horus even when he was weak from the fighting. The guy knew he was gonna die but he faced his fate anyway, fought like a lion, died like a lamb, I can admire that kind of self sacrifice.

2nd place: a tie between Jaghtai Khan, and Leman Russ, Khan for his steadfastness at the siege of the palace and Russ, well...

Space viking, nuff said.

"Do you remember that time he got drunk and tried to throw it [His spear] at the moon? It took us 3 days of searching that bloody jungle to find it"

where'd you find that? Its just plain hilarious!

Space Wolf series... the last one iirc

Sanguinius: he held off the tides of chaos and knowingly died for the emperor. Also i read somewhere that only he and leman russ defeated the emperor in battle.

Lorgar - for trying to save us from an Ultrasmurf dominated universe of 40k during the Horus Heresy

Weirdly enough the Emperor isn't actually that good a fighter if you look at some of the fluff. Though he is still a psychic power house.

One soul in two bodies= One dude with two bodies
I count him as one cause he's basically one person. Bad fluff, IMHO, but whatever.

Sanguinius. Where was your precious space wolf when the emperor was being mortally wounded?
