Maybe you see yourselves as a leader like Roboute and Horus, or maybe your a tinker like Perturabo and Ferrus, or maybe you are compassionate like Vulkan, or maybe you're a bit angry like Angron, or maybe you're a schemer like Lorgar, or maybe something completely different.

Which primarch do you most identify with?

(However, whatever we may believe, we are all Alpharius (or are we Omegon?))

Also, feel free to explain yourselves.

Rowboat sadly. Not because of the leader thing. I'm just a complete stickler for procedure irl XD I could see myself lecturing someone about some bylaws somewhere. I'd love to say Ferrus or Magnus, but that would be a lie XD

And obviously I'm just an Alpharius double, not the real Alpharius. Some real MGSV stuff.

Curze.

Nihilistic, self-destructive and suffering from mental issues but paradoxically having a sense of honour and justice, all whilst trying to generally be a good guy.

Hurray for the fun that comes with having split personalities.

I'd say a mix of Vulkan and Magnus. Or, at least, that's how I'd like to see myself and how I work to represent myself. Compassionate, eager to learn, with a strong desire for knowledge and togetherness.

Alpharius, firmly in the grey between good and evil, doing the 'right thing' even if it goes against the tides...

Why not take one of hundreeds personality tests with subtle questions like:

What would you rather do in your free time:
- Read a book
- Build a fortress
- Destroy a fortress
- Build a church
- Build an empire
- Strike someone repeatedly with an axe
- Skin someone
- Wear a hood and be all mysterious
- Smell unpleasant stuff
- Do a manicure
- Go hiking in the steppes
- Drink beer and play with your dog
- Drink blood and go wrestle a local bloodthirster
- Go fishing around da hood
- Dress in black and jump out on people from shadows
- That's a secret

Lorgar.

The only guy open minded enough to see past society's bs and do the truly smart thing, despite the nay saying of those around him.

Even though I play Dark Angels on the tabletop, I probably identify more with Leman Russ. I am sometimes very hot-blooded and lose my temper, especially if I think someone has insulted me. But, like Russ, I also have a sense of humor and am willing to laugh about stuff, even at myself if something amusing happens. And I'd be pretty pissed if I got sucker punched by Lion El'jonson after the end of an honor duel.

Hahahaha this made my day! Thank you for that.

Personally I feel like some kinda mix between lorgar and Magnus. Always seeking true knowledge, yet considered an outcast by societies standards. Always willing to do what is best for all rather than just what is best for oneself even if it costs me great consequence.

I can't say identify with any of the Primarchs all that much. However, doing some quick reading on a few of their personalities I actually think Perturabo might be the best fit.

Spoiler on my speculation of most voted on of the Primarchs here. I don't want to chance any influencing the poll in anyway.

I'm not massively knowledgeable on the personalities of the Primarchs, so why don't you guys tell me? I know one is generally a poor judge of one's own character but I'll give it a go anyway:

I'm generally good humored, amicable, calm, rational & a stickler for detail and procedure. So who am I?

Oh, & I once had a guy do a personality test on me in a job interview. He said the results indicated that I was unusually honest, perhaps even to a fault. So Dorn maybe?

Spoiler:

I didn't get the job

hmm maybe, could also be Gulliman.

I identify with Magus for his vast intellect and limited social skills, and I too was bullied by anti-intellectual space vikings.

Why did you type Alpharious spelled differently 19 times?

Dorn; stoic, loyal, limited (different to most people) sense of humor, I show more emotion than him but in a very Dorn limited fashion. Bad temper, bad anger, manage to keep control of it anyway, until things get too much. Capable of leading, but would prefer some one better suited would do it (a thought he has in MoMK when thinking of Robute). Oh yeah, dont take failure very well.

None of them.

I guess Kurze was a huge cynic with mental health issues, so there's that.

I'd love to say I identify with Russ - wild, drunk, brawling, braggart who ignores the rules and regularly bites off more than he can chew.

Truth be told I probably identify most with The Lion.
El Johnson is an achiever but he's also kind of boring and that's why he was never thebig Es favorite. The most interesting claim he has is his feud with Russ which they patched up, making him revert back to being boring.
I'm not wild.
I don't get drunk.
I don't pick fights for the hell of it.
IRL I can't brag, I get stage fright when more than one person looks my way.
I don't bite off more than I can chew - probably the reason I've been stagnating in the same job for years in spite of having a wall of company achievements.
Yeah, I see the Lion.

Guilliman. Looks at the macro, the order, the processes and procedures. He builds systems and institutions and is a leader.

Vulkan, humanist, methodical, engineering-y, slow to anger but when I do...

I am Alpharius.

By our modern standard in a developed country they would all be considered lunatic psychopaths. I would agree. It's not just this that I can't identify with but also the sher amount of ludicrous super stuff they did that is beyond my ability to identify with. They are simply too far removed from humanity and have been stated as not being human anyways.

But if I did have to choose then I will go with Rogal Dorn''s Mustache. That mustache showed incredible bravery going on Horus's flagship along with such notables like the Emperor, Sanguinius and Rogal Dorn.

Alpharius because I like fething with people minds

Cross between Vulkan and Russ.

Farsight. I considered Puretide but we don't have much lore on his personality or actions for me to say. Since he is more mythic than Farsight. The primarchs all have too much man-baby and daddy issues.

The Blacksmith

Well, anytime I have a problem with my dad, I just call him up and we talk it out in a civil manner. Because of that, I don't think I identify with any of the primarchs.

Fulgrim, because I'm sexy as hell, and I have a tendancy to strut around my flagship in just a pair of tiny underpants and a cape.

Same here lol.

Guilliman. Pragmatism, order and the rule of law is the way to make a lasting civilization.
