Who do you guys think is the best primarch BESIDES the god emperor? The only reason why i say this is because it is to easy. Guys like the night lords primarch Konrad Curze. Primarches like that. So if you wouldnt mind please throw in your opinion whenever you want to.

Leman Russ he was constantly drunk on mead and starting pub brawls yet had honor (stupid dark angels emo priests!)

Best at what? Give us a metric, man.
The Emperor is not a Primarch, btw.
Each Primarch is arguably the best at something..
The Best Leader: Horus
The Best Tactician: Probably Lion El'Jonson
Strategy/Logistics: Bob Guilliman
etc..

The best to you the one you like most

The Emperor wasn't a primarch... never mind that.
Favortie was Russ and my favorite quote concerning him
"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"

Guilliman, for doing the right thing.

Some may say that's a controversial choice given most peoples attitude towards him.

Ferrus Manus...I mean come on, he had SILVER hands and eyes! I loved his persoanlity in the horus heresy books and he's the primarch of my favorite legion (who's color scheme I based my chapters off of.) Close second (ironically) would be Fulgrim.

I enjoy stirring the pot
IMHO the Codex Astartes is a damn fine thing.

Fair enough IMO writing down all of your tactics for use in a military situation and then telling people you will only follow these tactics is probably a bad idea because if they get the book they know everything you will do...
But he is a nice fellow so i suppose it balaces out.

Totally nice guy, will even help you move if you bring the beer.

Horus, followed closely by Magnus the Red.... face it if Horus hadn't gone all chaosy things would have been peachy

Corax, cos he is awesome
Magnus, cos he is a space-wizard
Lion'El Johnson because he is named after a gay poet who rote a poem about his coming out, it was called "Dark Angel".

My three favourite

Corax the SM ninja,
Vulkan the craftsman lavaman,
Dorn the loyal,
Lion el' johnson the gay,
Khan the biker,
Angron the angry,
Sanguinius the killy,
gulliman the writer (even though chaos can easily predict what we're gonna do because of it)

Russ without a doubt

anyone who judges a man on how much he can drink and eat and how well he can fight is the sort of bloke I want to know, we all know that under the bed he had hundreds of copies of bolter babes as well.

Umm.. well I love my ultramarines, so I'd have to say guilliman. I like his loyalty and his use of his intelligenc and skills... pretty good guy to help out humanity and all.
But aside from that i suppose angron and horus. Angron was awesome cause he wanted to kill everything and that's hilarious, and Horus because.. he's awesome.

1. Fulgrim= perfection, the best.

2. Corax=bad**s.

3/4. Alpharius/Omegon=???

Dorn,Corax and Angron.

Corax is getting quite a few. Consider me suprised.

Magnus, he's always right, it's a habit.

You know I'm giving Corax a big thumbs up

Also, Sanguinius was pretty cool. Only primarch with wings!

Corax had metaphoric wings.

I vote for Dorn. I admire his steadfastness and loyalty (not like a dog's loyalty though, that's Russ).

Also, building castles is fun.

The Primarch of the Flaming Marines: Justin Beiberius


...But no seriously: Corax.

are you kidding? magnus, beyond a doubt. im pretty sure i read somewhere that magnus' was almost as powerful as the emperor.

Excellent, that gives me fluff to support my Raven Guard counts as sanguinary guard conversions!

leman russ cos he gets drunk!

Sanguinues, followed by Dorn and Alpahrius.

tough call

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!

I like Malal the forgotten Chaos god. He is the only one of his brothers that turned chaos but was forced into it instead of having the choice. 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!!!
