Out of all the loyal Primarchs at the beginning of the heresy. Who do you think was the most pissed that Horus and the other legions betrayed the Emperor?

This could be subjective, but I think it could have been Russ.

Not sure if this should be here.....?

Why would you post this in the painting and modelling section? There's an entire section called background.

Anyways, it was probably either Sanguinius or Guilliman. Sanguinius because he loved Horus more dearly than any of his other brothers and Guilliman because he believed that he was more fit to be Warmaster; Horus' betrayal proved him right.

I think it would have been Corax or Vulkan. They exerienced the treachery first hand. They witnessed the slaughter of their Sons and were literally stabbed in the back at the Drop Site massacre.

Getting a message that your brother has become a traitor and having him actually ambush you and shoot you in the back are totally different things.

Sagnius or Russ I belive

Based on what we have seen from the Primarchs, Ferrus Manus, who was the first loyalist Primarch to learn of the treachery and who spent the rest of his short life raging the feth out.

Ferrus Manus - he was rushing to fight Horus even when Dorn warned him to wait....
Russ & Vulkan second....

Manus and Russ probably.

I don't think having his battle fleet shot to bits by Fulgrim helped much. He went off very much half-cocked for vengeance after that.

I'd say Sanguinus was shocked as much as outraged, I can imagine him pleading with Horus as to why he did it when they faced off for the first and last time.

I like Dorn's reaction in The Lightning Tower as to what he might be afraid of concerning Horus' motives.

Guilliman strikes me as the sort that would put his hands over his face in that rubbing motion one does when you're exasperated, sigh mightily say "I knew it! I knew this would happen!", then put it to one side and get on with things.

Frankly , who knows what Vulkan thought, there's not exactly much fluff surrounding him other than him being all cryptic and leaving treats all over the galaxy like some deranged Easter Bunny.

I second this. Ferrus Manus always had an anger manangement problem. The Horus Heresy just made it that much worse.

I would say Ferrus Manus or maybe Russ they seemed the most ferociously loyal and I'll tempered.

Sanguinius and Corax I believe would be more upset/disappointed than angry. Although still angry obviously.

Ferrus Mannus, obviously.

i thought Dorn was pretty pissed, both in The Flight of the Eisenstein and in the Lighting Tower. He was the most loyal of all the primarchs to the Emperor, so it would make sense that he would be pissed.

I' bet that Ferrus,Sangunius,Russ,Vulkan,Khan,Guiliman and Corax would disagree with that statment...

I think Sanguinius was pretty pissed off as well, because of the close relationship he had with horus prior to the heresy. Then again, that can probably be said of many of the primarchs who ended up on either side.

Manus was more enraged that Fulgrim turned his back on the Emperor and him and had the audacity to try and get him to join Horus betrayal.

This was what Manus was raging at, how his closest brother could turn on him. He went hunting Fulgrim on Istvaan, not Horus.

I don't think that any of the loyalist Primarchs raged at Horus for turning I think that they were more overwhelmingly amazed that the Emperors favorite could turn from his light. Shock and horror at what it meant for one so beloved could ever take up arms against their brothers. Utter betrayal not just against their father but all of them. They might have expected it from Angron or Curze, who was already rogue at this point, but Horus, also how he managed to sway so many of his brothers to his side.

Disbelief, bewilderment, helplessness, anger would be there but I think it would be a passing notion, I think they all felt fear in a way. Fear as to what the future held. For a Primarch this fear must have been the scariest thing in itself.
