Favorite makes it clear we look at opinions.

BEST needs a definition of best, thus an equal amount of known Background for all contenders would be neccessary.
But GW does not provide us with this.


Just Daves thread was fun cause it was JD's list and we could guess on his rankings but still disagree without whining why our personal
favorite wasn't placed correctly....

Take a look at your own anti-Corax posts.
Sure, there is a way to claim 'best' because 'we' ( the members of a panel ) say so.
If you pick those members and their views differ, maybe a honest "there is no best Primarch, just my personal favorite one" prevents
a debacle of either a pre-set list of "best primarchs" based on a clever pick on panel members or no list at all since panel members can't
agree on who's best and you have as many best primarchs as members...

You're too pessimistic, 1hadhq. Just Dave and I already agreed that Sanguinius is the BEST primarch despite being neither of our favorites. And I'd say the panel need only be four or five people.

1) 1hadhq => German = seen our leaders and staying an optimist?

2) My point still is : panel members = result

3) Since you two agreed on Sanguinius, I'll second ( or third? ) this.

4) who are these people and how do they become panel -ists...?

5)

IIRC last poll of best Primarch had the unknown ones at 2nd place

6) as N°3 shows, we already solved the question of best Primarch

But go on, nominate dakkaites and have people vote on panel-members
Provide a proper ( or funny ) reasoning and stay clear of any MOD threathening to ban whoever refutes to accept the superiorty of his
favorite Primarch and we all get another thread worth subscribing to.

Tell you what.

i will go right now and make a "Vote for your favorite primarch" thread and see who comes out on top.

NOOO! Been done before!

I want to be on this panel.

I will vote for the prettiest Primarch.

Except not Sanguinius, he's too pretty.

So, maybe Mortarion, post-heresy.

Egads, don't get this thread locked too soon guys, I need to whack it all in an article!

I dislike the irony of Saint voting for prettiest.

We also cannot reliably make a panel to vote for a collective opinion on best Primarch. For one thing there's not real point, for a second, we've all ready agreed that Sanguinius is the best as-well!
Sorry Manchu, but for once I agree with 1Hadhq!

Sanguinius for #18!

Staright past Fulgrim, huh? And what about the Emperor's other daughter, Jonson?

Mortarion is obviously the prettiest.

Really?

And which of them is oldest?

Heaviest?

You know, prettiest needs pics for those who can't remember...

Awesome thread is awesome. That is all!

Thanks man, impressive early post!
