No he didn't. I think the point he was making , was that Sanguinus didn't have such a massive task such as re-building the shattered Imperium. He was a popular beloved individual, but he did very little when compared to Rowboat. And yes, I know he died so he didn't get a chance to, like Kennedy.

Yes, he did. Read his posts, he said Sanguinus was a pansy. I'm not going to comment any further on that, as it's pointless to argue about the exact phrases used when we've sorta come to a stand-still with that discussion.

You mean the drunken heretic that destroyed most of a loyalist legion just because Horus said so?

Did you read the rest of the post? I like others, too. But Russ is one of those guys who, despite his flaws (remember, horus was like a close brother... and the Emprah told him to as well) always pulls through and tries to make things right. I admire him for his determination... and being a viking.

I did no harm really, no need to apologize to anyone.

While there are several I like better, I have to put my feelings on the back burner and make an objective decision.

His legion was only able to do this because whenever something big happened he was convieniantly on the other side of the galaxy. Sanguinus was the most loyal Primarch and had no flaws. Without him Horus would have killed Big E and won the heresy.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say... Alpharius?

Or is it Omegon?

The Ultramarines were on the other side of the galaxy when the Heresy happened because Horus was scared less of the Ultramarines so he made sure the heresy happened when the Ultramarines were as far away as possible.

ANd why he sent the Wolves away to get Magnus. And Isstan. And so he's afraid of every legion?

Asgeirr Darkwolf wrote: And so he's afraid of every legion?

Err no?!. Divide and conquer. It would be easier for Horus to divide/scatter the Imperium, rather than take it on at full strength.

'Ratlings were on the other side of the universe when Horus attacked the Emperor, does that mean Horus is scared of ratlings?'

He sent the Wolves to kill Magnus(unlike the Emperor's orders, which were to arrest Magnus) to drive the Thousand Sons to his side. Istvaan was about eliminating Legions so that he could tip the balance and put the odds in his favor. It wasn't about being afraid, it was about being smart.

he aint afraid of any of the legions, he hust aint stupid enough to take them all on head to head.

my vote is the lion, 50 years and he has almost as many victories as horus, added to the fact he was prob joint 2nd/3rd best combat primarch, and THE best strategist.
still needed luther though, shame.

Right. My point is, he wasn't scared of the ultras, he was smart, as they were the largest legion at the time.

"Scared" and "Good tactical thinking" aren't mutually exclusive of each other.

Asgeirr Darkwolf wrote:Or is it Omegon?

I believe we can add Omegon's votes to Alpharius, since they are the same....

Or are they...

Or can we.....

Alpharius

Dorn

I think we can combine them. Just put a slash.

I see too many Alphariuss (?).

And for serious, Fulgrim.

Everyone commanded a legion, but only Fulgrim did it FABULOUSLY.

It's hard to see anything with this fething helmet.

I'm pretty sure it's Alpharius.

Or is it Omegon?

Magnus...

In "A thousand Sons", Magnus threats a Space Wolves commander to tear the Space Wolves fleet stationed in Orbit apart by sheer will... and Ahriman was not able to tell if Magnus was bluffing or if he really had this much power.

Plus, he was able to smash himself into the Gateway to Terra while in being in the Warp - something even the mightiest Chaos Deamons were not able to do (okay, a few hundred psyker died to feed him with power..)

Three guesses on who I voted for my precious.

golum...smeagol...bilbo?

Alpharius in a landslide!

Power behind the throne... FTW!



Yes, WHFRP is Alpharius and Omegon's fave RPG!

(Just not the new version - bleech!)

Agreed. 1st ed is the only edition as far as I'm concerned. Need to find a new copy of it, though.
