DOOOOOOOOOORN!!!

Come on - if nothing else, he's got a cool name.

ROGAL freaking DORN!!!

Not a sissy name like "Roboute Guilliman." I mean, come on - with a name like that, I bet he got locked in a hall locker by the other Primarchs at least a couple of times a week!

As it stands:
Loyalist primarchs- 52% of votes
Traitor primarchs- 48% of votes
(This is at 201 votes assuming that alpharius/omegon are traitor)

They most certainly are not!

I mean, maybe.

At least not one of them.

I think...

lol... next time I do one of those, I'll half the votes for Alph. and Om. and put half traitor and half loyalist. How's that sound?

HOW THE FETH DOES FERRUS MANNUS HAVE LESS VOTES THEN LORGRAR!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

THAT GUY IS THE WORST PRIMARCH IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!!!!

FERRUS MANNUS IS SO MUCH COOLER!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

And yay, Angron isn't winning for once.

Hey, I bet Omegon is pissed the Alpha legion is named after alpharius instead of being the Omega legion.

I guess some people prefer a primarch that either lived through the heresy or accomplished something in it...

*cough burn *cough

**General Fuzzum**

Oh that's cold man.

Ferrus Mannus totally almost killed Fulgrim! Plus he totally led the assault on the outspoken traitor legions on Istvaan!

But c'mon. Lorgrar is just plain GAY.

Sad that the Ultra-hate has hidden the real upside to the guy who had the humility and sense to even include the teachings of traitors in his big book of tactics

Humility my ASS.

Seriously, in all the fluff I've seen, Guilleman and his chapter act like spoiled brats who want to make rules for everyone to live by, and then piss all over them while shouting SPIRICHUL LEEGE.

.02 cents of Ultrasmurfs hate.

**Diakon**

Ummed and Ahhed about Alpharius for sheer weird points but in the end my devotion to Grandaddy Nurgle won through and I voted Mortarion.

**Cadet_Commissar_Ludd**

Leman Russ is catching up to Sanguinus (shameless spam to keep thread alive)

**GruntBuster7**

I play Chaos, but even I have to admit that Leman Russ is a badass. Plus he created the Space Wolves. Little known fact: Space Wolves don't die, they simply pass out drunk.

At anthrocon...

**asimo77**

Everyone calls Sanguinus the pretty boy, but isn't that supposed to be Fulgrim? Anyway I voted for Fulgrim because he has a pretty tragic story, much like Magnus.

**Cadet_Commissar_Ludd**

three more votes for Leman Russ could put him into the lead!

**Iamwalrus**

Golden Lord FTW! All Hail Primarch Dorn!

**Darkvoidof40k**

Back to Corax, I do believe he ended up being killed by Fabious Bile (or however the hell you spell it). There was a little bit of fluff about it somewhere.. but it seems Bile experimented on Corax first, like prodding him with a stick while he was in a cave.

**Cadet_Commissar_Ludd**

I think you'll find it's spelt Fabulous Bile

**Darkvoidof40k**

Fix'd. Otherwise known as 'fixed'. Ah well, I'm gonna bugger off now (again) and go watch a film that the Government says I shouldn't. Oh well, Cameron is useless so who gives two?

/cue back on topic.

**Cadet_Commissar_Ludd**

WOO, 250 votes, Sanguinus is still winning though...

**Viper217**

While I play an alpha legion CSM army, Conrad Kurze is just too awesome. Batman Primarch FTW!

**Corey85**

Batman in space is always going to trump any other Primarch.

You mean, King Banana? Yeah, anyone that has anything to do with Dorn, is Dorn or knows Dorn is officially awesome.

**spamandchips**

Waaaay to hard to call. although it's good to see the blood angels hating has finally stopped...

**wererat**

This was a tough one for me...I have no fanatical devotion (I.E army) that fall under any of the primarchs and am a dark eldar at heart. It was a toss up for a lot of them but in the end I chose my boy Lorgrar. Now I read through all the comments and found not one person saying anything nice about Lorgrar. So I shall be the first.

In a universe of war alot of legions turn to religion, faith in the Emperor, Emperor protects, Emperor watches over us, etc. The Word bearers are the strongest worshippers and were the first to worship the Emperor as he should be; a God. Nowadays everyone does that and the word bearers follow the Word. I personally love the idea of the Word and hope one day it is available for purchase so that I too can be enlightened by Lorgrar's word.

I'm not crazy. really. go Lorgrar!

P.S yes I know the bearers were the ones who planted the seeds to start it all and I'm glad they did

This is so wrong that it is... wrong!?!

Corax was NOT killed by Bile.

Corax went on a guilt fueled walkabout into the Eye of Terror and hasn't been seen or heard from since...

**Gorskar.da.Lost**

I like both Peturabo and Russ.

Peturabo: I like the idea of a siege-based SM army, and Peturabo is the master of siege warfare. He knows so much about it, his treatises are in the Tactica Imperium (or they were before he became a traitor)
As a result, he's one of my faves.

Leman Russ: He's a SPACE VIKING. Russ represents a Beowulf-style kind of hero, the sort who rips monster's arms off to win a kingdom, and this appeals to me greatly. He also can out-drink the Emperor.

LOOK AT THIS fething GUARDSMAN.

He's spent months fighting a grueling war in which his enemies are demigods allied with daemons, and now he's found himself in the closest thing to Hell he's ever known. He probably wasn't even supposed to get teleported up to the arch-traitor's battle barge in the first place, and just ended up in the wrong place at the worst possible time.

Somehow he's survived horrors beyond comprehension to make his way to the very bridge of Horus' flagship. He saw a veritable angel call upon Horus to answer for his crimes, and he saw that angel die as messily as any guardsman. His Emperor - who he fervently believes is a god incarnate, even if he's not supposed to - lies mortally wounded, and Horus, perhaps, has taken a moment to gloat before he strikes the killing blow.

His armor is slightly more effective than tissue paper, his weapon is slightly more powerful than a flashlight, and Horus' power claw is bigger than his entire body. He stands before a being infused by the dark gods with incalculable power, that can and will obliterate his soul with no more effort than it would take him to swat a gnat. Nothing he can do could possibly make a difference.

He could run. He could turn his weapon on himself. He could give in to the insidious whispers that echo from the ship's corridors into his mind.

Ollanius Pius does the duty his Emperor requires of him. He dies standing, and holding the fething line.

This just made my day. Seriously.

But Russ for the win. The man is the most productive raging alcoholic I've ever seen. Razed his brothers entire planet, then pretty much told Rowboat to

off with his little book, and his sons accomplish more then alot of other chapters, while remaining the most secluded.

**Sgt.Sunshine**

Konrad because he's essentially the Batman of the 40k universe...

My memory's sketchy about that. But now I have to go and dig out my source of information

. It might have been someone else, but I'm pretty sure it was from the Raven Guard.
