The only proper choice is Roboute Guilliman of course!
Go Ultramarines!!!! The only real good guys!

My vote goes to Ferrus Manus though- his fight with Fulgrim in Fulgrim was just badass up to eleven.
"If I built it I can break it too." then melts Fulgrim's sword with his hands.

Thats badass, but aren't Salamanders the only good guys?

Magnus is my favourite primarch just plainly.because even though he was deluded in his attempt to warn the emperor he took his punishment and even though he is trapped with his legion in the immaterium he remains loyal even if the imperium has him listed tratoris extremis. Also because he is also the wisest out of the primarchs and with it quite down to earth

Mortarion
so awsome
so so awsome

how does magnus remain loyal the last thing anyone knows about him is that he ascended the toer of sorcery swearing as horus did to see the imperium burn

On page 465 of the thousand sons novel magnus says 'despite everything I've donen my fate is my ownn' magnus said. I am a loyal son of the emperor, and I would never betray him, for I have already broken his heart and his greatest creation. I will accept my fate aand though history may judge us traitors, we will know the truth. We will know we were loyal unto the end because we accepted our fate'.

He was loyal, but for the most lore/knowledge-obsessed primarch, he was a bit of an idiot

Gulliman, more professional than the whole lot of them.

I dislike emotion, I like to think Robutte displayed less of it than his goth brother, his tragic brother, his brother on steroids or his brother with Daddy issues.

On that note, why is my favourite primarch the only one with a mis-spelt, unfunny name in the poll!? This will not stand!

Fix'd so that you answer your own question

@ the angrysquig. While he may have been a bit of an idiot and naïve I still think he was right in what he sone and also the fact that even after he had his legion obliterated he still remains loyal.he is still fighting daemonhood even in the present 40k universe

Guilliman?

Magnus

Guilliman however I feel he's a bit too mundane and also he finds it hard to find friends even his own legion hard to like him

I don't think he's doing to well fighting the daemonic possession. I think he may have a similar situation as Fulgrim where he didn't fully understand what he was getting himself into when he agreed to the demon

Magnus isn't possessed - he's a Daemon Prince. But Magnus probably regrets it; Ahriman mentions him gazing into the Warp for signs of vindication and approval that will never come, and it's implied that his presence on Terra during the Siege were done with reluctance. And seeing the Imperium burn could be seen differently - the destruction of the current Imperium where the Emperor is a god and where the ideals he fought for are dead.

Fair point, I know what I meant. And I think that it was only because Horus had so much power and the gods were on his side that Magnus participated in the seige at all. He was probably also still a little bitter at his perceived betrayal

But his betrayal wasn't by the space wolves they just did what they thought they were ordered to do they people behind the scenes were the adeptus custodes and horus so surely if he knew that he'd be even more pissed at horus and the custodes

He's conflicted - on one hand the Emperor 'betrayed' him by not telling him the truth about Chaos, but on the other hand, he probably realizes the old man was trying to protect him when he was told not to practice sorcery. And Ahriman and Magnus could well be working together - if Ahriman succeeds in getting to the Black Library and summons Magnus, they can break Tzeentch in revenge for their manipulation and go back in time through special tunnels in the Webway. The horrific Imperium we know never existed, as Magnus and Ahriman were able to warn the Emperor and everyone else of what happened - even if they cease to exist in that event, they'll be vindicated in the process.

Valdor was a radical - in Nemesis he actually told Dorn when the latter broke into the Assassinnorum Meeting Room with several Terminators and held everyone (including Malcador and the Master Assassins) at gunpoint that underhanded methods were perfectly tolerable when it came to fighting Horus. Dorn bluntly told Valdor to mind his own business and protect the Emperor, and leave the defense of the Imperium to the Astartes; Dorn also said that fighting Horus without a moral code is meaningless, as they'd be no different from Horus if they didn't have one - kinda like an argument between a puritan and a radical Inquisitor. The Emperor basically agreed with Dorn - while He accepted the Assassinorum's existence, He also decided to place under the Council's authority rather than keep them in Malcador's shadow to ensure they'd follow the Imperium's rules.

Everybody loves a happy ending lol

I think he would have wanted that, but to much resistance to changing the storyline

What happens when the scavenger hunt ends? They find a hidden Webway Gate that leads through a special tunnel in the Webway unknown even to the Harlequins, leading to a hidden room in the Imperial Palace. What do they find? The Emperor and all eighteen Primarchs partying in a time-stopped room behind the Throne Room.

Turns out the corpses on the Golden Throne and the Temple of Correction were just faux bodies - even that sleeping body in the Rock is an artfully constructed android. All the High Lords watch aghast as the Emperor, flanked by Sanguinius and Horus, followed by the other Primarchs, walk into the Council chambers, and say "YOU'RE ALL FIRED!".


Let's see, Lion, Magnus, Angron, Curze (surprisingly, the two couldn't hold their liquor), are all passed out, reeking of alcohol, while Russ, Dorn, Mortarion, and Horus are still struggling to prove who can drink more, while a gaggle of supposedly dead, and miraculously revived, and 'de-scarred' Sororitas cheer them on. Yes, lots of revived and beautified Sororitas are with the party, with the largest group going all bloody-nosed over Fulgrim and Sanguinius on the dance floor. Meanwhile, the Twins are playing a guessing game (who is Alpharius and who is Omegon) with another bunch of Sororitas, who are getting sulkier and sulkier with each minute (not that they really notice it, the room is time-stopped). The Emperor, Lorgar, Khan, and Perturabo are all having fun with truth or dare, and Manus seems to be having fun 'encouraging' the loser of each round to tell the truth. Drunken Corax and Gulliman don't seem to notice the booing of the Sororitas at their terrible singing at the karaoke stand, and while the Salamanders watch with their mouths open, Vulkan walks up to them, his arms around the shoulders of two Sororitas, and asks them: 'what took you so long?'

Sanguinius. You know why? Because hes the primarch of the race I play. lol

Damn my picture didn't work, but FULL OF WIN

@The AngrySquig
Picture's broken

Yeah I couldn't get it to work, it was just the full of win Luc Picard thing

Well here it is, post 3000. As much as I could I have made my milestone posts in this thread and I don't want this one to be the exception. I have also had a tradition of giving Lorgar and the Word Bearers gak, but reading Battle for the Abyss has really changed my mind on them. So today I direct my bottled up rage at the Dark Angels. They too wear dresses and they are really gigantic tools. And the Lion is the one Primarch with no redeeming qualities at all, not even one

The favorite has to be Guilliman. Say what you want about being boring, or being a prick, etc. but he is exactly how a primarch is supposed to be. I think he is a cool guy, and a tactical genius. Just finished reading know no fear and my love for him and his fantastic legion has only grown.

There's. No reason not to like him. "Oh but he has no real flaws! He's not a sociopath, a psychotic killing machine, or any other rediculous thing." Really? That's your argument. Please. That's Exactly how it should be.

Lastly. Rowboat girlyman hurhur I'm hilarious.

Anyways. Yeah. Guilliman... Yeah.

Dorn. Always Dorn, always has been. Johnson a close second, or maybe Russ. I swear I have some White Dwarf or first edition something book around here that lists the primarchs and back then it was just Lionel Johnson. Can't find it though so I can't be sure.

Although Sanguinius' self sacrifice and purity of heart can never be overlooked.

A) Guilliman's alright, but he's a giant tool. Even if you like him you can't deny it.

B) I am hilarious. I'm Rick James bitch
