I chose Kurze, for he is a badass sneaky assassin brute.

sanginus and dorn, cos i love BAs and IFs

Lion El'Jonson is my favorite. He was the socially inept but a tactical genius(hurr...). It created a great relationship between him and Luther and made Luther's betrayal all the more devastating. I also the love the relationship between him and Russ, their bitter rivalry grew in to mutual respect, and they became very close friends towards the end.

For the Lion!

Fulgrim.

Because the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Iranna.

Alpharius/Omegon. They seem to me to have been the smartest of the Primarchs, and the most willing to take unorthodox ways of solving a problem rather than just 'Hurr durr throw Spess Mahreens at it until it dies'.

Also, the whole 'I am Alpharius' thing is pretty bad-ass.

Guilliman, because he's a loyal primarch and he is still alive. Also because he's primarch of the mighty ultramarines!

Perturabo. He seems to be a be cold, calculating tactical genius. He's fond of artillery, seiges, and making big things fall over. He has a cool motto. And a big-arse hammer. He's fun

As always, Guilliman, because it will make other people angry.

Guilliman. He took over for the Emperor and created the foundations of the Imperium as we know it.

Rouboute Guilliman because he created the codex astites and suggested the making of the 2nd founding, he also made the most 2nd founding too, (Yes I know that the ultras was on the other side of the galaxy when tera was attacked). Magmas is pretty cool too. I wamta make a pre hearsay army for the TS I just love em!

Oh btw I love Guilliman also becaue I colect ultas and he did practily take over the emprors postion when he went for some shut eye! And I thought sleeping into 11 was bad!

Lorgar and Sanguinius.

Lorgar because he started the Heresy. He was a thinker and looked to humanity's longer happiness and well-being after they became part of the Imperium. And he put Gulliman on his arse as well, so bonus points for that.

Sanguinius because he was perfect, and had wings. 'nuff said!

Guilliman. Followed closely by Dorn.

Sanguinius. Most noble of the Primarchs. Without the Blood Angels, the Imperium would have fallen ages ago. Although they are Flawed by the Red Thirst and Black Rage, their acknowledgement of it grants them their own humility, officially making them the most noble of all.

P.S. Also because my Chapter is a Blood Angels Successor

Dorn FTW.

Mortarion

I have to go with Perturabo,

Followed by Dorn and Alpharion/Omegedon

I chose Kurze, for he is a Batman.

there you go, fixed it.

I think id go for Sanguinius, because he had wings. I mean come on. WINGS!!!!!!!!!!

Konrad, Corax, Alpharius, and Omegon. Flexible, sneaky, and efficient

Magnus the Red, pre-Heresy. One of the most charismatic Primarchs, and the most intelligent and powerful (with respect to psychic might) of them all, he was supposed to lead the Imperium's exploration and conquest of the Webway once the Golden Throne Project was completed. Otherwise, it would be Sanguinius, Horus' only peer, and quite probably the Emperor's intended successor had he not insisted on accompanying his father to the Vengeful Spirit.

Konrad Curze:
"Death is nothing compared to vindication"

Dorn, If you build it, they wont come........

The lion. lol but if i wasnt able to pick my chapters primarch, probably Russ, hes a warriors warrior you know? man of the people, rather be hunting and brawling with the boys, then dealing with aristocrats of the imperium unlike some primarches....cough * Guilliman sucks* cough

Sanguinius is definitely my favorite, very noble and always did the right thing. Seems like he acted the most 'brotherly' with the other Primarchs.

Guilliman, one of only two Primarchs to write a best selling novel, and the only one to write one that didn't cause a galaxy wide civil war (but credit where credit's due, he nearly did). Also, he was a tactical genius, had the largest legion and took over the family business after his dad was confined to a wheelchair.

Alpharius/Omegon for their ability to think outside the box, to question and philosophize their actions, something that few other Space Marines have ever done.

Are there 2 primarch's missing? I thought there were originally 20 chapters?

I thought he was supposed to be a big battery

Fulgrim.

The chase of perfection led to his utter demise. A slow and arduous corruption... Love it...

Well, I think they are all self centered egotistical snots, to varying degrees. So I wouldn't say I really love any of them.

That said I would say I can enjoy Corax, Russ, and Guilliman. When I get past their 'you are a peon and I'm allowed to do whatever I want because I'm a primarch and so I can ignore the rules', these are the most enjoyable.

Corax is fun for his sneaky comando knife in the darkness, Russ seems the most egalitarian with his brothers (frow what I can gather, he seems to pull the above the least amongst his wolves), and Guilliman basically did it all right (he made a stable, long lasting, moral, mostly benevolent, mostly tolerant, and capable empire in Ultramar).

That said, even those three were egotistical pricks at times.

For The All-Father, For the Wolftime, For Russ
