Sanguinius will be there at least once. I'd imagine that if the Siege of Terra is told from the Imperial POV, a lot of it will be through his eyes before switching to Horus for the final battle.

Who cares about Sanguinius? When are we getting the Roboute Guilliman trilogy and prequel novels?!

Are you trolling for smurfs?

I think i need my primarch fix be it Roboute fighting off Word Bearers or Sanguinius on Terra, or even Mortarion when he went all pussy (pronounced PUS - y)

Sanguinius is indeed getting a Horus Heresy book. Observe:

You don't even know how happy this made me, thank you so much

Apparently there's more!!! 2 traitors and 2 loyalists!

Does Fulgrim really need another book? He already had Fulgrim, which was wierd as all hell, and a bit in some of the other books, so I think he's been done enough

its probably debatable if he actually counts as a primarch or not but im gonna go with secret answer #19. Arik Taranis. +1 internets to anyone who knws who he is without looking at the wiki. one of the main reasons i consider him the best is that he's the only space marine "primarch" to escape the emperors wrath and is the only living primarch that is still CONFIRMED alive to this day. if i had to pick a definate primarch then i would have to go with horus or russ. horus, as anyone who has read the first 3 HH books will agree, is just, awsome..., as for russ, well, he's the demigod version of wolverine, and i dont care what anyone says, thats cool.

Alpharius and Dorn need a spot light hell even Vulkan or Corax need it more. Those four we have 0 clue of what the hell they did or who they are.

#19 was found, 2 and 11 are the missing ones

Agreed. Fulgrim was enough Slaneesh-y shenanigans to last me a while.

Sanguinius is part of what drew me to the Blood Angels, so I vote for him. The awesome picture of Sanguinius in armor from his 1d4chan page is currently my desktop background. There's something really compelling about him as the most human, most humble, and most purely dedicated of the Primarchs. In a way, he was the most heroic, the most willing to sacrifice himself for his duty.

I also voted for Magnus, but for reasons that have already been outlined. I like his tragic fall, doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons, and failing in the end through no fault of his own.

Magnus the Red is the most lovable derp in the entire Imperium

Kurze.
He never really changed during the HH. His Legion was just killers then, and now.

I like Kurze because he isn't a Chaos Primarch, hes the only one that was a traitor for the sake of being a traitor

I thought that was Pertuabo and Fulgrim on the cover for a second there. That would be a strange conversation...

That would get really awkward really fast

Horus before he went all darth vader like...

so difficult.. Although I would have to go with Mortarion or Dorn I think. But Vulkan, Russ and the Lion are also some favourites. Having said that I havnt read through any of the HH series yet due to lazyness so Im sure my opinions will change.

Manus. He fought people with a giant spanner.

Alpharius for me. He is like a total mysterious badass. Plus he has a twin so I guess they are technically 2 Primarchs?

From a gaming, and I guess more specifically modelling perspective, Alpha Legion would be cool. Especially if you play Apoc, then you could mix em with IG.

I'm a bit tempted to do pre heresy AL and make them all the exact same. Helmets, bodies, bolters, nothing different about any one of them. But quick question, if all the alpha legionnaires looked the same as their primarchs, were they all freakishly tall, or were Alpharius and Omegon really short?

Yes, actually. The Primarchs were on the short side, which makes sense since they were both squished into a one person tube for a portion of their growth, and the members of the legion were on the tall side.

The Primarchs book looks good, Glad to see Manus get some screen time. Not interested at all in more about the Lion. I mean a central facet of his character is that he can't relate to people, between that and his brilliant beige personality there's not much driving my interest.

So I'm between Luna Wolves, Blood Angels, Salamanders, and Imperial Fists for the ph army I'm starting after the dark eldar, I'm mainly deciding based off of the primarch because I like big flashy HQ's to lead my army. But i really can't make a decision, they're all so nice

i never said number 19 was missing, i dont even think there is a 19th primarch. if its me saying secret answer #19 your refering to then i mean the vote has 18 possible choices, so i took secret choice number 19, as a i like a primarch that was not on the list.

Oh, I thought you were reffering to how there were 20 primarchs, but 2 are missing and saying that the 19th was one of the AWOL ones. I see what you mean now though

Most of the legion was slightly smaller than them, but a few were tall enough to pass as them even under close scrutiny, like Ranko. On the battlefield, the few inches in height between them wasn't really noticed, and to normal humans it made very little difference when the primarchs weren't there- all Marines were on the 'ohh, big' side.
