Cant we all just agree that Russ and Sanguinius are badass and with their combined power the chaos gods would crap themselves?

Also, can we agree that The Lion and Dorn are both slowed and pansies?

**Manchu**

Sure on the first part. But Rogal is a cut above the Lion.

**Dreadwinter**

Barely.

Lexi:

Dorn commanded his Legion and Expeditionary Fleets with peerless devotion and military genius. It was said that he possessed perhaps the finest military mind of the Primarchs, ordered and disciplined but still inclined to flashes of zeal and inspiration. Indeed, the Warmaster had said that he esteemed Dorn and the Imperial Fists so highly that he reckoned if the Fists, noted masters of defence, were to hold a fortress against him and his Luna Wolves, the resultant conflict would result in a never-ending stalemate.

Point proved I think....

**Dreadwinter**

So you disagree then?

**Orkeosaurus**

Leman Russ is a Mary Sue.

PROVE ME WRONG!

**Emperors Faithful**

Seems someone needs to recrut votes: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=172856

*looks at poll*

Has worked well for you.

Congratz to the win.

**skullspliter888**

i voted Magnus for the ....well i just voted

**Manchu**

Well, now it's just more like the original poll.

**Emperors Faithful**

how the hell did Russ suddenly leap ahead?
Surely that must be a glitch...

**Manchu**

His votes from the last poll have reappeared as magically as they disappeared.

@Manchu: It doesn't make sense the other day he was something like 15. Now he has "magically" gained 30 votes and the others have gotten squat.

I Demand a recount! This poll is rigged!

**Demogerg**

the other poll was rigged, he was at 20 when everyone else had ~5, then all his votes disappeared. This is exactly how the other one looked.

**Emperors Faithful**

So you moved those votes HERE?!?

That's cheating! (pout)

. . . how moved? With magic?

**Emperors Faithful**

I actually do not know. What I SUSPECT is that somehow, Russ votes "magically" transformed from 15 to 40something in a small period of time.

How did that happen with no other votes to ANY of the others?

**Manchu**

If Russ wasn't undeniably the most awesome of the primarchs, I'd be suspicious, too.

**Emperors Faithful**

...Please tell me you don't actually believe that a sudden 30-35 votes out of nowhere is fair, or not suspicious.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

Even though I love me some Space Wolves and Night Lords, I had to go with Horus, for some reason he just strikes me as my favorite.

**Emperors Faithful**

Of all the primarchs, wasn't Horus the one who EPICALLY failed?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

You could say that...

Or we could argue that it was Sanguinius, who accomplished nothing. Horus even in defeat managed to rock the Imperium to its core and cause a Civil War which isn't yet over.

**Emperors Faithful**

...Sanguinus knew he was going to die. It's called sacrifice. And the CIVIL war is over. What are you talking about?

Anyway, Horus failed to achieve Universal domination. Which is wat he wanted. He FAILED. Sanguinis SACRIFICED himself.

HORUS FAILED.
SANGUINIUS SACRIFICED.
HORUS FAILED.
SANGUINIUS SACRIFICED.

Got it yet?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

So that's why the Imperium is still fighting the CSM and why the Legions are still considering themselves in Civil War, because its over... Hmm, interesting thought.

Sanguinius died for nothing, so did Horus, but Horus's dying for nothing could still wipe out the universe.

**Emperors Faithful**

Um, you do realise that the CSM having a temper tantrum (black crusade) every now and then is little more than a thorn in the side of the Imperium. The CSM lost mate. Realise that. Make it easy on yourself. That is like someone saying that a lone Nazi survivor sending mean e-mails to jews means that WWII is still going on.

The "Horus Heresy" was defeated the moment horus dies. Not utterly, yes. But the goodies won THAT war at least.

Also, Horus died a coward and traitor.
Sanguinis remained faithful. Big difference.

P.S. Blood Angels and co, ARE still in 40k.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

And the Loyalists didn't throw a tantrum? I hardly see how the Black Crusades are a "thorn" in the Imperium's side beings how they are credited as being one of the largest threats to mankind.

When Abbadon breaks through the Cadian Gate he has free reign to do as he pleases, continuing the civil war.

A traitor yes, a Coward? Not so much.
Faith doesn't make you a coward or not.

So are the CSM.

**Emperors Faithful**

Ok, did you see my little analog of the nazi?

Some die-hard CSM, while a threat, are not in the middle of a civil war. A war, yes. But for a civil war the whole imperium must be turned upon itself.

The horus heresy was a civil war becuase brother fought against brother, now the CSM are no longer brothers, but a minority.

P.S. Horus hasn't broken through Cadia yet, and I honestly don't think he will.

Horus was WEAK then, he bowed to the whim of the dark gods.

Sanguinius stood pure.
