Nah. I am already ranking my top chapters I have made.

Well, Ediin was kinda close.
14: Angron. He's Angry for the Emprah! (at least until he turns traitor)


Holy crap look at that cape! Anyway, the reason I like Angron more than the other guys is because of his tragic story (hint hint, also the reason why I like many of the primarchs, including number 1, a bit more).
Also, when he just just lasted on the planet, he killed a bunch of eldar come to stop what he would become. Awesome. Put that in your 'mind war lol' and smoke it. He was inducted as a gladiator, and was undefeated, as well as the crowd favorite. He kept trying to lead a revolt with his gladiators, but continued to fail. Until one day, he broke free with the gladiators and they lived in the mountains, beating back attacks from the cities' armies. Then seven, SEVEN, armies surrounded them. It all looked grim, when suddenly, the Emprah! Mean old dad pops down and says, "Join me."
"Nope. I would rather die with my comrades"
"If you only knew the power of the Imperium. The slavers never told you what happened to your father."
"They told me enough! They told me he was killed!
"No. I am your father."
"No... that's not true! That's impossible!"
"Search your feelings. You know it to be true."
<teleporting noise>
"NOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!" (Angron watches his rag tag army get defeated.)
However, he gets convinced way to easy to join Chaos. "Yo, dude, Its Horus. The Emprah is devoid of honor. If you join me, we can rule the galaxy together, Brother and Brother! *muffled*And get revenge on the others and stuff."
The reason why most of my ranking of him is just a Star Wars joke, is because there is little info on ol' Angron. I don't know, I kinda think he's cool, being an awesome demon-prince and stuff.

Also, copied and pasted from Lexicanum "At the time of the Horus Heresy it is said that no other Primarch could have bested Angron in single combat save for Horus and perhaps Sanguinius"
(you'll see that quote again )

Blah! Angryon!
Personally, I'm hoping for either Mortarion or Magnus in the top spot.
Out of those two, Magnus.

By the way, why is 2549 posts a milestone?

I am determined to guess number 1 now. You said we would never guess it, and it isn't Vulkan, soooo...

Khan. That's my guess. Or Fulgrim, to throw us all off. Anyway, next primarch is Ferrus.

Curze was assasinated... but he let himself be as penance for his crimes. Insane though he was, he retained a sense of justice. EAT THAT ROWBOAT AND DORN AND SANGUINIUS! (Well... Sanguinius' death wasn't THAT lame... only sorta, he kinda just threw himslef at Horus...).

Fulgrim's pretty cool, but Mortarion's cooler. If anyone says Magnus- really? a RED FREAKING CRYBABY CYCLOPS?

...urrrr... I dunno

I noticed you want to learn a bit more about Angrypants, there, Lucifer.
if so, get looking for the short story about him in "Tales of Heresy." I can't remember what it is called, but it's pretty damn good.

14: KHAAAAAAN!

"Yeah man, look at my boots." Sweet deal, hes got a bow and arrows, a big friggen sword, high heel boots, and a big helmet plume.
Sweet. For starters, I don't like the 'lol Genghis khan in space' bit. Kinda lame actually. When he was young, his adopted father was killed by a rival tribe on his home planet. Khan raged and brought his tribe to murder every man, woman and child of the other clan. Wow. Khorne would have been proud. He mounts the head of the tribe's leader on his tent, and stated he wanted to unite the tribes, stopped the battle between brother versus brother. I support that plan. After he pissed off a big clan, who bought their armored warriors to fight. Khan tactically geniused his tribes men around, and their volleys of arrows and quick speed defeated the other force. Cool. He then becomes the Khan of the 'whole land.' He then goes Persia style and says, "join or die" to everybody. Most join, both others get wiped out. Seems kinda brutal. (I wonder if Angron and Khan switched planets they landed on...) Then, the Emprah shows up and Khan joins up. Alrighty. Now, there are like four sentences left to his name. During the Heresy, He essentially surfed the top of a razorback and led his troops. Wow, and people complained when C.S. Goto wrote about it Then, after the heresy, he went to get prisoners captured by the deldar, and 'got sucked into a webway portal' but possibly just got lost in a warp storm. Lame
And thats all there is to know about Khan. Wow. My whole ranking of him is basically a summary of what he did. I don't have any real emotions for Khan. He could have been way higher, since he had potential to be a cool primarch, but there is so little info about him.

hmm, well so far im still enjoying the countdown, even though your ambivalent reasoning is sort of confusing, but obviously the thread has captured my interest enough to stick around until you make your first mistake on the order ranking. If Sanguinius isnt in the top 3 im virtual punching you!

Well, once I get into the Primarchs I like, (surprise surprise, I like a bunch of them) I will actually be giving longer, better rankings, not only based on their fluff, but their characteristics, etc
Sanguinius is one of my absolute favorites, and thats all I can say without giving too much away.

Sweet! Well thats what I needed to know! I await his unveiling in anticipation then. Even if you dislike or dont run BA's, Sanguinius should be close to the top of everyones list...he has impeccable qualities, wings, evidently looked like an adonis, and did one of the most notable and reputable acts in the history of the game! Oh and did I mention he has wings!
