Dorn is superior to all but Sanguinius, Russ, and Khan. I concede defeat

Sanguinius and Russ okay, but Khan?

I like Khan... he's fast and strong and has a moustache to rival even Dorn

You can't actually have a caste system in communism. The whole point is that your not forced into any job. You can do whatever you want and it all works out because of the faerie dust. (Marks never really explains how communism was going to happen. It was like Revolution, socialism, ??? , communism) A caste system forces you into a job.

Well Valdor, who beat Horus in a sparring match, was afraid to duel Dorn.


This, is a fabrication. It did not happen.

Why don't you like him? He is the single wisest, fairest, most honest, most level-headed primarch of them all. He really doesn't want to be like the empy. You hate calmness?

Sanguinus and Guilliman would very much like to have a word about those points.

No blood angel can ever be called level-headed. The only primarch who is honest enough to actually have it mentioned in his blurb is Dorn. Wisest sure go ahead debate it, it depends what your definition of wise is. Definitely the fairest though, as he was stated as being the only one who would have listened to Garro rather than execute him for lies.

The IF and Sallies are tied for my favorite SM Chapter/Legion.
You have to admit though that the IF seems to be the Chapter called upon when a bunch of SM have to die, and that Dorn died a pretty ignominious death.

Well, Dorn destroyed an entire Black Crusade more or less solo, and in a time where it might have caused permanent damage to the IoM, and his death is still less than 100%, because in some version they just found his hand.

These are the only two I don't agree with. I think Russ is the most honest because he doesnt give a flaming gak about what anyone thinks of him. And I'm 100% certain that Sanguinius would have listened to Garro, remember that the BA only went crazy after he died, before that there was no Red Thirst or Black Rage

Also, they took the Soul Drinkers Prisoner. Without a casualty.


Yeah, after the Soul Drinkers had just finished shutting down an uber Necron Destroyer Lord and it's army. Had their numbers cut from what, 200 -> 50 in Hell Forged of which easily half served the chaplain and whatever his secret motives were/where ever his allegiance laid so actually more like 25.

So a thoroughly exhausted and worn thin Chapter exits a tomb world they just more or less shut down to be greeted by a battle ready, fresh and prim Lysander and company thanks to Ad Mech backstabbing them. Yeah, not really surprised that Sarpedon would get beaten down by Lysander and besides, Sarpedon ORDERED the Soul Drinkers with him to stand down and surrender if he lost to Lysander.

Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

Sanguinius is just about the most likely to have executed him, being the closest to Horus.

Except Sarpedon is a massive mutant with incredible power, and an exceptional librarian.

But Lysander won because of HAMMER

No, Sanguinius is all about emotion and elemental force, and Horus was the closest person to him in the IoM. Even Rogal Dorn, who is all about logic and cool-headedness, punched Garro in the face. He pulled the punch though.
