Everyone always talks about what Primarch almost stayed loyal and which one should have been treated better but no one seems talk about the Primarchs that logically would have fit in better in the Warmasters camp. My candidates are Corax, the Lion, and Sangiunus. Corax seems far to into the equality sorta stuff really fit in with the Imperium even before the Heresy let alone after, his suicide by Chaos seems pretty close to Konrad's suicide by assassin, my guess is he realized that he fought to defend a Empire that stood against everything he believed in and like Curze tired of the long war. Sanguinus should have sided with Horus, instead he sacrificed his life and the sanity of his legion who spent the next ten thousand years being treated like crap. As far as the Lion, he and his Legion are just too headstrong, they were before the heresy and they remained so after.

I don't see that. Corax didn't kill himself. He just ran off. I couldn't really see him turning to chaos. He seems to more human in respects to his kin. He looked inward and blamed himself for the raptors mutations. Granted he's slightly self centered for assuming its his fault though. Sangiunus doesn't fit the bill to turn either. He's too devoted to the cause of the imperium to turn. His loyalty is assured though his sacrifice. He did it to save humanity. His sons suffered but, it was something that had to be done. He had to confront Horus. The Lion, I could have seen going over. But, being that he sought to try and defend the wider imperium as best he could and not let it be plundered. There is logic in this tactic. He was trying to prevent Horus from using the resources available in that part of the galaxy for the siege on Terra. To that effect he was for the most part successful.
