I voted Konrad. i don't see any reason you shouldn't vote chaos.

.

Konrad all the way.

.

yes I do play Night Lords. He is also my favorite primarch with Magnus the Red a very close second.

.

less than 500. I am just starting them. I have the Night Lord hero and 13 assault marines. I plan on using the BA codex for them.

For the KHAN and the Emperor!

Alpharius...

Angron for me.

I voted Horus because I personally believe he has the most interesting character, and can be compared to Macbeth. He was noble and a staunch supporter of the Emperor(King Duncan) but the taint of Chaos (witches) was what led to his downfall. I have read the Horus Heresy novels and the ones I like best are the first two where you get to see the good side of Horus.

I personally preferred Konrad before he turned to Chaos.
As one of the primarchs said "He'll have the enemy shiitting their breeches"

Sanguinus, good to se he is seen as 'the best'.

Time for a classic:


"Horus was weak. Horus was a fool. He had the whole galaxy within his grasp and he let it slip away."
- Abaddon the Despoiler

lol

Rogal Dorn, the Bulwark of Humanity. He stood stalwartly during the Heresy and ultimately saved the Imperium when he brought the Emperor back to the Golden Throne.

For me, Sanguinius embodies all that is good about the Primarchs, and about Space Marines. Brave, selfless and a tremendous warrior, he's the reason why I find myself really wanting to finish my Blood Angels army, even though I'm trying to avoid playing any kind of MEQs.

.

He sure is!

Despite the recent scribblings of Mat Ward...I cast my vote for Mortarion.
Love his backstory/fluff.

Sanguinius is the greatest of them all,if not for him The Imperium of Mankind would've fallen.

During The Siege, The Chaos besiegers forced the Imperial defenders back to the walls of the Imperial Palace, where thousands died slowing the assault. The Primarch Angron of the World Eaters Legion, now a Daemon Prince of the Blood God Khorne, came forth before the walls of the Palace and demanded the Loyalists' surrender, saying that they were cut off, outnumbered, and defended a ruler unworthy of their loyalty. Many would have surrendered to Angron after seeing the sheer power of the Forces of Chaos that stood arrayed before them had it not been for the Primarch Sanguinius, the winged and seemingly angelic leader of the Blood Angels Legion. The two Primarchs, once brothers, gazed at each other, perhaps communicating telepathically. Eventually Angron withdrew from before the gates of the Imperial Palace, telling his forces, not without some relish at the prospect of slaughter, that there would be no surrender. The siege of the Imperial Palace then began in earnest. Three times the Forces of Chaos scaled the walls, and three times were hurled back by Sanguinius and his Blood Angels.

Soon the mighty Bloodthirster Greater Daemon Ka'bandah came forth and bellowed out a challenge to Sanguinius in the name of his master Khorne. The daemon hurled itself at the Angel of Baal, barely allowing him time to parry the daemon's strikes. The two took to the air, trading blows and battle cries high above the heads of the two forces. Already fatigued from the siege, Sanguinius was cast down by the daemon, pulverizing the concrete below upon impact. The Loyalist forces seemed to collectively groan. Yet the Blood Angels' Primarch was not beaten, only stunned by the force of the impact. Sanguinius cleared his head, forced himself back to his feet, and once again took to the sky. The Angel seized the gloating daemon, holding it by the right ankle and arm. The Primarch hefted the creature high and broke its back over his knee, before hurling the daemon's carcass back at the besiegers, who howled in despair as the last Loyalists fell back and made it into the Imperial Palace's inner sanvtum before the great portal of the Eternity Gate was shut tight behind them. Of course, as a daemon, Ka'bandah could not truly be slain, only banished to the Warp for a 1000 standard years, but the Bloodthirster's spirit was sent howling back into the Immaterium to meet the displeasure of his master the Blood God.

It was Sanguinius who reached his brother Horus first. The Warmaster attempted to turn the Blood Angels' Primarch, his oldest and closest friend among the other Primarchs, to Chaos one last time. When Sanguinius refused to be corrupted, Horus attacked. Wounded from his many battles on Terra and the terrible battle with the daemon Ka'bandah, Sanguinius proved to be no match for Horus, now at the peak of his daemonic power after his long alliance with the Ruinous Powers. Horus strangled the Angel of Baal with ease. An alternate version of this event sometimes recorded in the Imperial records has Sanguinius cutting a small hole in the Warmaster's Power Armour before he died, as this hole aided in the Emperor's final defeat of Horus.


He is the Greatest of all the Primarches. Through his sacrifice the IoM was able to stand strong. Horus killed Sanguinius with such a powerful physic blast that his last moments are now encrypted in the DNAs of the Blood Angels in what is now called the Black Rage. Sanguinius,Rogal Dorn,and Jaghatai Khan are the Hero Primarches.

Nice information gathering.

Thank you.

You know it doesn't really matter what we vote for, in the end Alpharius will win anyway ...

That being said, the 'best' Primarch was Guilliman. Not my favourite, but the best. My favourite is Alpharius.

Vulkan. He taught his legion the best. If it had been 'which is the best chapter?' I would have said Ultramarines.

That's what you think, and most of the Imperium. Unfortunately they killed him like four times after that too.

Roboute Guilliman is the best Primarch hands down. No Roboute Guilliman = no imperium.

I picked Konrad, just too cool of a Character, i mean, he is space batman after all, lol.
