Ok pick your favorite primary and give a reason if you feel like it

The Khan, and this is new.

The warhawk thinks for himself. He seems to have real honor, and the last HH novel I read based on him, still left him semi mysterious, but I read into it(prolly too much), but this is the guy who would rebel for the "right" reasons.

If the Khan was active in M40, he'd be destroying the inquisition, the ecclesiarchy (sp), and trying to set people free.

Second choice : Perturabo. Even though he's a moody bitch, I get him, because I'm a moody bitch too. Also; I admire craft and excellence in craft.

This is really tough, I like almost all of them. The only ones I don't like are the Lion and Fulgrim.

Hmm. I'll go Gulliman (which surprises me) mainly because I love how he's portrayed in Know No Fear, which is the one I read most recently, and I'm really excited for Tempest from FW.

The fact that you write names without a first capital letter hurts me, but I'd say Mortarion!

Wow Leman Russ tries being special even here

Well, I voted Sangunius, because I play blood angels. But who is Gulliman? Is he primarch of of Ultramarines chapter?

Yeah he is. Well, Primarch of the Ultramarines Legion, and by extension Chapter, yeah.

Haha the auto correct on my phone is the only reason leman russ was capitolized

Chief Sneakiness himself Alpharius, the guy wields a Necron weapon is able to almost take Horus's ship with a handful of people and may still be alive......Hydra Dominatus!

Vulkan for me. I love his honor and his immense size

I think you meant 'Hail Hydra!"

I voted Kurze, but Vulkan is the best out of the loyalists, and Lion is the best out of the fence-sitters.

Lion El. He punched out Leman Russ

Magnus, i feel sorry for the guy he wanted to do the right thing and got screwed.

Lemon of the Russ. The man had a simple elegance to him,which I dig.

Vote Magnus, The power of Tzeentch compels you!

Magnus. Everything about his story is absolutely gripping. The wise warrior sage who was respected by those of his brothers who weren't narrow visioned against the psyker gene.
The traitor who should never have been a traitor.
Plus his legion were awesome.

Sanguinius, who was the purest, uncorruptable of the Primarchs. IMHO, the Blood Angels and their successors should be uncorruptable as well. Actually, I've never heard of Traitor BA or Successors, could somebody provide examples or are the BA uncorruptable?
Sanguinius was also the wisest of the Primarchs and (arguably) the best in CQC.

Look I play BA and votes sanguinious as well but put your boner away lol, hours wrecked him in cqc, angron could as well, handsdown angron is best in cqc, there have been blood angels ssuccessors that have been excommunicated, but officially there are no traitor blood angels chapters, but by no means am I willing to say uncorruptable I mean the flesh tears, and flesh eaters are basically there lol

It was a toss up for me between Angron and Magnus, but since Magnus was getting more love, I went with Angron. They're the two traitor Primarchs with the most legit grievances, which makes them the most complex, sympathetic, and interesting Primarchs.

And you have to admire how Angron is the only Daemon Primarch who still comes out and wrecks face on a regular basis. You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

Horus said that the main reason he wanted Angron on his side was because Angron was the only one who could hope to best Sanguinius in combat.

Horus only beat Sanguinius because he was pumped up on warp juice.

Do warp juice and get thrown in a cell for 10k years like Luther. Don't do warp juice!

Anyway, I can't believe Guilliman is winning the poll... They could probably fit all the first founding chapters in the SM codex with the amount of face time the Ultramarines get.

The Lion. Out of all the Primarchs, along with all the Legions, the Dark Angels and their Lord seem to be the most mature of all the Legions as to the material written on them, or at least have a story and drive to them that most Legions and Primarchs lack.

Plus unlike Curze, Angron, or Mortarion, the Lion knows that having a gakky childhood isn't an excuse to go on an insane krumpin' fest.

Mature? I always thought he came across as a moody teenager. Angron didn't just have a gakky childhood though - the Nails were beyond that.

Anyway, I voted for the misspelled Alpharius/Omegon. Even if they're portrayed with inconsistent personalities (individually and together), they have plans, even if they are currently only involved in schemes that involve abandoned amusement parks and avoiding Scooby Doo.

Well the Lion is probably Bipolar given his mood swings, but he doesn't start skinning and stringing civilians up from the rafters like Night Lords, butchering civilians for the sake of butchery like Angron, or butcher civilians for the lulz like Fulgrim. You still don't want to talk back to the guy or piss him off, but he's not insane like most of his kin.

Angron is a bit of a special case though. He's not just insane for the sake of it, he's literally being driven mad slowly by whatever insidious technology was hammered into his brain while he was a slave. He then had to watch his only friends in the world die as he was forced to leave them in the lurch, and now he has to fight for his father who he sees as just as bad as the tyrants that enslaved him in the first place.

Ya know, I'd be a little grouchy too.

Also, I cant stand the Lion. I prefer Curze to the Lion, again Curze is almost tragic ala Angron, driven mad by the world he grew up on, the failures and corruption of his legion that he hates, and the visions of his own death. Yeah he's messed up but like Angron you can trace back and see why. The Lion has never struck me as mature, the complete opposite in fact.

I agree about Fulgrim though. Can't stand him. Even in the novel Fulgrim when he wasn't corrupted yet he was a massive prat.
