I got Black Legion, which is an alright result I guess.
Honestly, I gave up on question 2 in the primarch quiz. There was simply way too much to read.

Without this, I almost lost a game once. It was scary. I almost took to buying fixed dice to ensure it never happened again.
I got Raven Guard on both tests, oddly enough. I would have expected Blood Angels as it's the army I prefer in both fluff and gameplay. I guess I may have to look into them, as I've never read much about them.
That's what I got too, although for Primarchs I got 1 answer for a bunch of them, no idea why they chose Vulkan instead of any of the others. Alpha Legion and Thousand Sons were also pretty much tied.
I got the same results as well, which isn't that surprising. I'm a humanist at heart and were I shoved into 40K, I sure as hell wouldn't be throwing space marines into melee.
The best military op is the one nobody knows anything about except that something very big and very important exploded.
don't judge a marines melee capabilities from the TT... a marine can take a lot in melee and dish out more, specifically if they have melee oriented weapons. hell, even on the TT, my BA sgt (vet with a power sword) finished off a carnifex with 2 wounds left!
When the feth did I state I was going off the TT?
Sending any force into melee that is capable of accurate long-range firepower is a downright terrible idea. Get a Company's worth of Astartes, give them camo cloaks and stalker bolters, and the enemy will never know where the shots came from, who hit them, and where they were headed.
Giving Astartes a bunch of chain weapons and telling them to go into melee is downright one of the worst decisions a commander can make.
Better yet: Give them stalker bolters, those fancy stealth fields from Deathwatch, and knives.
Now you can go all Crysis 2/3-esque stealth on their butts, which is made all the more awesome by them being giants.
There is something incredibly satisfying about the idea of 9' tall armoured giants stealthkilling people.

Well, the Raven Guard already do that without any stealth fields because shadow walking is absolute hax. A Raven Guard Battle Brother trained in the ways of Shadow Walking could sneak in and out of a public library without anybody ever realizing he was there despite being around eight feet and wearing power armor, so long as there were some shadows.
“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
On the ground I'd go with Raven Guard, but the Night Lords are highly skilled at Void Warfare, and don't have ethics or morals that might restrict the Raven Guard.
“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
That's when the Raven Guard call up upon the Carcharadons.

I lost interest in the primarch quiz after two questions. I guess that makes me Angron.
The other one was Ultramarines.
Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?

PS: To explain this reaction, the only thing I don't hate about BA is Astorath's model pose. And some of Sanguinius' fluff (him vs the Bloodthirster).
If it makes you feel better, it's the Blood Angels who fall to Nurgle in the Dornian Heresy

Hmm, this survey didn't work very well. I answered in a way that gave me one bump each for several primarchs. A better survey would be written where a single answer can give points to several results. That way it doesn't have to guess which one out of a four-way tie.
I got Rogal Dorn and the Imperial Fists for my first run through but I always waver when they have knowledge vs. discipline type questions. I could easily see myself going Magnus and the Thousand Sons but I am too disciplined for that haha.
Age of Sigmar - It's sorta like a clogged toilet, where the muck crests over the rim and onto the floor. Somehow 'ground marines' were created from this...
I'm Sangunius. Cool since I like the blood angels.
INSANE army lists still available!!!! Now being written in 8th edition format! I have Index Imperium 1, Index Imperium 2, Index Xenos 2, Codex Orks Codex Tyranids, Codex Blood Angels and Codex Space Marines!
PM me for an INSANE (100K+ points) if you desire.
I am kind of surprised by all the people who have differing Primarchs and Legion results. There are few who like me received a Primarch and their Legion but I thought I would see more than just a few. Wonder what that means, probably more of a flaw in the two testing systems than anything else.

agreed, like the favorite color stuff? Don't think that should factor into which legion one would belong too.
