if you would have read a thousand sons, magnus LET the space wolves kick their asses because he felt they deserved it

A likely exscuse. "I didn't get my butt handed to me! I was just humoring them!"

Well, not only did he have to fight Leman Russ, he also had to hold the Space Wolves. So he fought an entire army, by himself.

1st place: Sanguinius, He held the palace gate by his lonesome, then he teleported onto the barge where Horus even when he was weak from the fighting. The guy knew he was gonna die but he faced his fate anyway, fought like a lion, died like a lamb, I can admire that kind of self sacrifice.

2nd place: a tie between Jaghtai Khan, and Leman Russ, Khan for his steadfastness at the siege of the palace and Russ, well...

Space viking, nuff said.

"Do you remember that time he got drunk and tried to throw it [His spear] at the moon? It took us 3 days of searching that bloody jungle to find it"

where'd you find that? Its just plain hilarious!

I was tired when I got home from work and decided instead of tired I was going to be awesome instead. However, I read the above post and realized someone had already been awesome in this thread.

Sang was pure of heart, a beat stick and a martyr for the cause.
Khan halted Horus's supply route to Terra, therein helping end the siege.
Russ is just a drunk viking, tough to not like that.

Mukkin'About wrote:Sanguinius. Where was your precious space wolf when the emperor was being mortally wounded?

Destroying an entire SM legion.

A single favourite is hard for me to pick out.

My favs are: Ferrus Manus, Fulgrim, Magnus, Konrad Curze, Angron, Dorn and Alpharius*

My least favourite are: Sanguinius, Horus, Leman Russ, Khan, Lion El'Johnson

I also really dig the Emperor...


*I actually liked Alpharius before the whole twin story came to be. It's just lame this way IMO.

As for the legions:

Favs: Thousand Sons, Emperor's Kiddies, Iron Hands, Imperial Fists
Least Favourite: Blood Angels, Iron Warriors and Black Legion/Lunar Wolves

Konrad Kurze.

He is the epitome of awesomeness. He's got a problem with his planet? Nuke it from orbit. You face death in the face? Spew the greatest line ever uttered in 40k:

Your presence does not surprise me, Assassin. I have known of you ever since your craft entered the Eastern Fringes. Why did I not have you killed? Because your mission and the act you are about to commit proves the truth of all I have ever said or done. I merely punished those who had wronged, just as your false Emperor now seeks to punish me. Death is nothing compared to vindication.

You ask were Russ was when the emperor was wounded he was laughing at how terrible sanguinus was

Although that line was pretty epic, Kurze was one of my least favorite primarchs.

Seems like he was always making excuses for himself

"Why the hell are you so savage?" "Oh I cant help it , I was raised that way"

What a load of bull, that goes for him and Angron too. Both were so hotheaded and insensetive they couldnt see they were practically handing their souls over to be played with by the Chaos gods.

Deus Vault I'm pretty sure I know what a primarch is. The god emperor is the father of the Primarches is he not. IMO if they are just mere genetic copies of him then biologicly he would be the same as them. Also you said there are two Primarches that aren't talked about and that could very well mean that Malal is one of them. Sure he was discontinued from 40k but that doesn't mean he wasn't a Primarch. This is all I
have to say on this topic.

Konrad was Evil, not crazy. He was plotting, vicious, and used fear to capture entire worlds without setting foot on them. Angron is a angry sack of crap.

Lexi on Angron:

During the course of the Great Crusade, he reaped many victories, although some criticized the extreme and bloodthirsty tactics he used to ensure the destruction of his opponents.

Lexi on Night Haunter

Night Haunter encouraged his legion to decorate their armour with images designed to inspire fear in the enemy, a tactic that proved incredibly effective. Soon, rumours of the impending presence of the Night Lords would cause a system to pay all outstanding tithes, cease all illegal activities and put to death any mutants and suspected heretics.

One was tactics oriented, the other just wanted skulls for the golden throne.

In no particular order:
-Horus (before Cha.. er I mean sub-par writing destroyed him.)
-Alpharius\Omegon
-Konrad Curze
-Mortarion

Undivided i like your post

Malal was never a primarch. He was a Chaos god. He now simply never existed.
And if the primarch are genetic copies of the Emperor then how are they different?

if i remember correctly, each of the primarchs are a copy of one aspect of the emperor. magnus his psycic powers, angron his battle skills, horus his will to conquer (there were other examples but i couldnt remember and i couldnt find my copy of the first heretic) etc, etc, etc

Best at what?

I'd say the coolest are as follows:

Russ, for his drunken viking awesomeness.

Kurze, the dark knight for doing what he though was right.

Corax, for being based on a Poe poem, and for being fething INVISIBLE!

Alpharius, cause he's dead.... or is he? The sneaky one is amazing! Plus he's a twin, and he sided with Horus to ultimately save the universe.

Top 3\

1 Angron of the world eaters
2 Konrad Curze of the Night Lords
3 Mortarion of the death guard/legion or simply put nurgle ROFL

one thing i think should be mentioned is why are certain primarchs DIISLIKED? Guilliman cuz hes got the most annoying blue colors, hes an arrogant dill weed, AND his name is impossible to spell. Horus because he was stupid enough to beleive by destroying the galaxy he could save humanity, he was also stupid enough to be trikked by a stupid word bearer, AND because he cant even beat a half- nurgle-half- man dude without nearly dying.






this may be off topic but i was just wondering

Rogal Dorn at number 1 for me
Fulgrim and Magnus are tied for 2nd

Sorry friend, but saying that just because there's two unnamed primarchs, Malal could be one, isn't exactly a logical argument. There are actually a few points to suggest he isn't, barring that not knowing about the two unknown legions is part of the mystique of the 40k universe, the main one being he is a warp-entity, not a Daemon-Prince. The other Primarchs became Daemon-Princes upon their 'ascension' to Chaos, yet he is not, which alone suggests he is different.

Other points being that he acts in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, does not have an Astartes legion, and seems to have been turned into the being the Sons of Malice worship as 'Malice'. These all suggest he is not one of the unnamed primarchs.

---

As for my favourite primarch, I'd probably have to go with......... Lion'El Johnson, due to his superb tactical mind, and the fact he seems the most 'human' of the primarchs, without trying to be excessively so. He is a primarch, and obviously so, yet is prone to moodyness, jealousy, and brooding behaviour.

Guilliman for his Sun Tzu impression is also a favourite, as well as Magnus 'I could clean up working as a magician on TV'.

Ummmm...... Malal is the retconed chaos god of chaos destroying itself
IE anti-chaos chaos god

I'm pretty sure russ was a furry

youbedead wrote:I'm pretty sure russ was a furry

I died a little bit inside.

So then Describe to me why he hates chaos there is no other reason for him to hate chaos unless he was forced into it when he was young. Infact he should love chaos he feeds off chaos. He leaches from them to make himself powerful. I cant argue the fact about his presince in the fantasy world but as we all know everything in 40k derives from something in fantasy. But i believe that the suns of Malice are one of those un spoken legions. Plus who the heck is Malice if it isn't Malal. Also if he was a normal chaos god then it wouldn't mater if he had followers or not because he could simply make them. I think ive said anough to support my theory it may or may not be correct think what you must but i would like to get back to the thread instead of talking about this.

whatever i have to go to sleep no point arguing with a child... im going to sleep

I think Sanguinius was the best Primarch.

I mean, seriously, how many of you would walk to your death and even knowing about it?

For awhile before the Horus Heresy Sanguinius and Horus were ho-hum palsy-walsy, and Horus even admitted he thought Sanguinius was better than him.

Dropping all the heroic crap, he had Angel wings.

Angels Wings > You


Also I think Guilliman was amazing.

Considering he stopped a second and third civil war and made a way to prevent entire legions of Space Marines going heretical by splitting them down into smaller sizes, and then enforcing it on 99% of the Space Marine Loyalist, save for a couple, I think that's saying a lot for his commitment.

The Sons of Malice are not one of the lost legions. They are a reneagade chapter lead by chapter master Kathal. They were attacked by inquisitor Pletas of the Ordo Hereticus who they killed. This happened just prior to the 13th black crusade. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sons_of_Malice
Malal (or Malice) is the renegade god of Chaos and herarch of anarchy and terror. Chaos gods are created and sustained by emotions. I don't think it's possible for a mortal to become a chaos god.

This is exactly why he has always been my favorite. That brooding depressive genious.

Second runner up is Sing...the wings...the perfection...the result of his sacrafice and what it meant for the rest of his legion/chapter.
