Coolest chapter with the collest primarchs

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.

QFT.

I think the haters are just the anti-social dorks with issues personally.

Seriously, who would you rather go for a fething pint with? Pleasant, polite Gulliman or any number of his fethed in the head siblings?

Bingo. People hate him because he's exactly what he was created to be. The best Soldier/Administrator/Politician there could be. People rag on him all the time, but you've got primarchs with daddy issues, bath-salt issues, etc... and those guys are the coolest there is. No thanks. I'll take the guy who gets stabbed in the back by his brother and doesn't crumple like a bitch for $1000, Alex.

I've never seen any accounts of him being accorded the greatest tactical primarch, his legion even though numerically superior to that of Horus were still second best

Never said he was the greatest strategist, though maybe he was. Horus' legion conquered more worlds, true, but there are many unexplained variables for that. The Ultramarines operated primarily at the edge of the galaxy, where it's conceivable there were fewer human planets to reintegrate, as well as fewer planets as a whole to conquer. We don't know what galactic territory the crusades of the Luna Wolves covered, if it was closer to Earth and the Galactic Core which could be a reasonable assumption, then of course there was more worlds for them to reclaim/conquer.

I would like to point out that I don't hate Guilliman, I just find all the joke names and riling up his fangirls hilarious. And really? You would want to get bombed with anyone but Russ?

People hate Guilliman because his personality is very bland. He's a fictional character. There is no thing he's "supposed" to be. Fictional characters have no such limitations. Thus, the "haters gonna hate" argument doesn't really apply here.

I liked his character, to an extent, in Know No Fear, but that has a lot to do with the fact that Dan Abnett is a good writer. Ultimately, many people just like flawed characters, something Guilliman is sorely lacking in. Like, for Christ's sake, it's stated in KNF that the only reason he wasn't warmaster was because he was too busy building his own kingdom to care for the job. Come on.

1st things first, you are epic for having me in your signature. Secondly, I completely agree with you. KNF was good, but most stuff with him is rather bland. That being said I don't hate his character, its just not the best

Rowboat Girlyman , well because who doesn't love the greatest space bureaucrat ever.

Rawr Leman Russ BA rebel without a cause. Gotta love him even if you hate the SW.

Leman Russ is badass, but he's the least rebellious. He follows his orders to a T

I'd have to say Vulkan. even though his background is lacking in areas you still have a guy who's principle in life (and you will see it mirrored onto the legion) was to protect others. and then their

is the whole fact that when the emporer came for him and they had a contest that vulkan (despite winning the competition) pledged servitude to the emporer because he threw away his chance to

win in order to save him! and also you have to love the whole carrying two thunder hammers thing plus i personally like the whole fire motif

Simply because they are fictional characters doesn't mean there isn't something they were designed by fluff writers to be. Everything in the warhammer universe has something it is supposed to be.

Anyways, it's your opinion that you think he is bland. I don't find him to be that way, but it doesn't seem that I will be able to convince you to feel the same so I'm just going to accept that you have a different opinion.

The characters are supposed to be whatever the writers want them to be. There is nothing else beyond that.

I didn't say that you think he's bland, I said that a lot of people think he's bland, which is true, a lot of people do, myself included. That some people also think he's interesting is ultimately irrelevant. I'm addressing this weird elitist attitude of "if people dislike Gurlyman it must be because they're just haters". What? That's a moronic belief.

I never Implied that you said I thought he was bland. And While it doesn't seem that you hate him simply because he was the ultramarine primarch, there are a LARGE amount of people that do think that way. Consider it the few ruining it for the many. And for the record, using "Gurlyman" in a reply Doesn't help your arguement. If people don't like him fine. But show a little respect to those who do guys. C'mon.

Magnus first and foremost, the last vestige of knowledge seekers and willing to advance the cause of man.

I don't know about Magnus, he seems like he would make a great High Lord/Second Emperor, but he doesn't seem like a good primarch

Dorn and Fulgrim (Pre-Heresy of him is very important).

I always thought Dorn was epic and his Imperial Fist were vital to the defense of the Imperium.

Fulgrim's loyalty to the Emperor I really enjoyed and respect.

Actually he was. No other legion was as devoted to their Primarch as the Thousand Sons. They actually considered Magnus as their real father, as opposed to their genetic primogenitor.

SANGUINIUS!

He was good to his sons, but I think that he was better at the statesman aspect than the general/fighting aspect

Was I the only one to catch "Girlyman" here?

Its been the subject of about half the pages

No, you are not. I've been complaining a lot more than my maturity level would normally allow about it

But still...

Mortarion for me. Not sure why, but I just think he's awesome.

Mortarion is actually really cool.

I like how Sanguinius gets his kudos here.

Who doesn't love dat shine?
