Most people have one primarch they enjoy some have more
1. Lorgar- I like him because he was a softer version of his father, i read his book and it felt like he was a character you could relate to.
2. Lion- I have always like the DA's it was only natural i would enjoy reading about their primarch
3. Magnus- i like wizards
4. Fulgrim- Early on he was such a pure primarch but he backslid into a sensory craving degenerate
5. Konrad- He knew what it meant to control a populance
6. Corax- He was a interesting read i have always like the RG
7. Rogal Dorn- He was prob. the most loved next to lorgar i liked reading about him and his color scheme is not annoying
8. Alpharius- i like subterfuge and he fit the bill

Fulgrim. He's like a college-freshman douchebag fratboy. His antics are hilarious and he's a badass. He's personally responsible for taking out the most Primarchs out of all of them, choked a Wraithlord out, literally punched an Avatar of Khaine to death. Just pure badass-fuel.
Second favorite would probably be... dunno. I like Horus and Konrad. . Fulgrim's the only primarch who I'd consider flawless though.

I'd say not so much tactical as an administrative and logistical genius. Those were his true strong points though he was a solid commander.
As for my favvy's:
1. Alpharius Omegon: I feel that they were the real brilliant tacticians and I love their tactics.
2.Corvus Corax: Love his tactics and he seemed to be a lot more humble than the other Primarchs
3. Konrad Curze: Tactics are awesome and he's just a boss
4. Fulgrim: Pretty much killed two other Primarchs, like a boss
5. Sanguinus: Sometimes I think that he strove the hardest out of all the Primarchs to try and make the Big E's dream come true. And he's an utter boss.

I absolutely love Alpharius/Omegon for the sheer confusion.
Who did Gulliman kill? Alpharius, Omegon, or some random ass legionnaire?
Did they really side with chaos? Or are they closet loyalists fighting against chaos in a massive 10,000 man double-agent maneuver?
And all of alpha legion pulls some serious CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED-esqe tactics
Aside from those two, I would say Sanguinis and Russ tie for second, because I cant tell if I like the Angelic Vampire badass or the Viking Werewolf badass more.

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left? No one, Vulkan. None of them will come. You are simply not that important. You are alone.’ Konrad Curze to Vulkan

1st) Rogal Dorn - Did all the hard work during the HH then Gulliemen swept in and took the glory hehe
Also died an unfortunate death. I like the tradegy in his fluff
2) Fulgrim - he seems to kill a lot of gak. Plus imagine how cool his parties would be... drugs, sex and rock and roll!
3) Magnus - Again there is tradegy in his story.
I'd like Leman Russ if he didn't come across as arrogant as well as head strong.

3. Guilliman..just cause
4. Curze due to his split personality and style
5. Horus before he went bwahahahahaha
6. Alpharius. Omegron was a prat.
Rest of them are bleh.

My favorite is Sanguinius- the most revered son of the Emperor;
2nd: Corax- He was as determined as all the brothers to be great.
3rd: Ferrus Manus- His addiction to the betterment of himself was his only flaw.
4th: Perturabo- he was the anti-Dorn  , there is just something I love about the Iron Warriors.
5th: Curze- He never really got the chance and that led to his undoing.... I don't think he ever wanted to be a traitor.
6th: Leman Russ- I just like him... Don't really know why maybe cause he out partied the Emperor...

Fulgrim, followed by Lion and then maybe Curze. Curze is just what I imagine an Astartes should be, a terrifying being that doesn't just decapitate the leadership of an army, he breaks their will to fight completely, he makes them afraid to leave their houses.

It's a tossup between Corax and Sanguinius for me. They both have interesting backstories and imagery. I'm not a fan of the Blood Angels but I'm really looking forward to their new HH book.
