The Lion

Lemon Russ all the way.

Alpharius was but a padiwan leaner to Horus. He was a follower and needed his brother to help him lead.

Horus was the warmaster.

You sing a different tune when you find out that it was Alpharius that lowered the shields on the Vengeful Spirit...

Leman Russ...

Oi! What's all this talk about Alpharius?

*cough* Dorn *cough* heretics.

Alpharius? Nope, never heard of him.

Why does everyone has as title 'I am Alpharius' and says so, and also has the same avatar? Oh my Emperor. Please

Because I am actually Alpharius.

This just sucks.

Vulkan!

Who else would've made your meltas and flamers Twin linked?

Sanguinius

Beneath this helmet there is more than flesh. Beneath this helmet there is an idea, Mr. Coolyo, and ideas are bulletproof.

YES!

Is the Alpharius loving a meme I missed or genuine?
If so anyone care to explain why?

Voted Guilliman myself (dirty as it felt).

Let's see...

The Imperium is still the largest military and political entity in the galaxy, and the Traitor Legions are still stuck hiding in reality's bunghole. Thanks to Sanguinius holding the Ultimate Gate during the Siege of Terra and creating a dent in Horus' psychic defenses through which the Emperor hit him with Jaws of the Angry Daddy. Sure, some other guys did some stuff, I guess, but my blind fanboyism leads me to vote for Sanguinius!

How is sanguinius ahead of Gulliman, obviously to many BA players now, pretty soon they are gonna be the poster boys and there will be a "whats wrong with BA" thread. My answer, sanguinius was their primarch, and was a pansy

Because Sanguinus is more likable than Rawbutt Girlyman. Aside from killing a Bloodthirster and holding The Eternity Gate by himself, also fought and weakened Horus and was generally liked by all his brothers. Even Horus himself believed Sanguinus to be the true hope for humanity.

I think you'll find that i am Alpharius.

I'm so much the real Alpharius that I don't need this pathetic DCM title to tell everyone my identity.

Because he's better, that's how. Gulliman sucks like the mighty Hoover.

if we are comparing primarchs to presidents, id say that Sanguinius is like kennedy. Pretty boy who everyone likes that did do some good, but really didnt do much super helpful except become popular because he died.

I would compare gulliman to lincoln. He helped save the union(imperium) in a great time of need(after the heresy and the imperium needed protecting), plus not that many people like him(lincoln was NOT popular while in office until the end of the war), and they both died while in office

Then your comparison is flawed. If Kennedy apparently did nothing then ok, I didn't ever know anything about him, but Sanguinus DID. I'm not saying Guilliman isn't a great Primarch, he did hold everything together, and actually created an Imperium when conquering, rather than destroying, but saying Sanguinus is stupid and did nothing is plain wrong. He was respected as a savior amongst the populace, as a force of good. He taught the Blood Angels to be a force of enlightenment for the betterment of humanity, and not simple protectors and soldiers.

Duh. Leman Russ, the emprahs executioner. Other than him, corax and Alpharius. Curze is beast. The two missing primarchs could be cool.

You mean the drunken heretic that destroyed most of a loyalist legion just because Horus said so?

did i say that kennedy was supid? and i didnt say sanguinius was stupid or did nothing. If i did, i didnt mean to because i dont believe that, I just meant to say that had kennedy not died in office, he would not have been nearly as possible. He did do some things, Cuban Missile Crisis, created peace corps, made a nuclear test ban treaty with kruschev, but I dont think he is in the top 5 presidents as many people place him at. What my point on sanguinius was(and its purely opinion) was that he was more popular because he was the pretty boy, who died, and thus his triumphs were magnified beyond what I believe his station was. Do i think he is top 5 primarchs, yes, do i think hes #1, no. sorry if i wrote my previous statement in a way that led to be interpreted in a different way than intended, or if i mistyped and talked out of my A** without meaning to

and i think the alparius thing is a little ridiculous, funny,but ridiculous.

Essentially, you called him a pansy, that did nothing aside from die, which you don't have to apologize for. I would rate him in top 5 too, ahead of Rowboat Gorillaman simply because the latter Primarch did very little personally in my opinion. Wrote the Codex Astartes, that puts him in the top five. Protecting the Imperium was down to his Legions numbers though.
I'm not going to comment on Kennedy, I know next to nothing about him other than the Crisis.

he was a president who did some good things, but became insanely popular and glorified after he died, that was just my take on sanguinius, may not be that accurate, dont know a ton about sanguinius...just the impression that i have gotten from what i have read on him and what people in the forums have said.
