Sorry, the Lion was most bitter about Horus being Warmaster of maybe all the Primarchs. He always thought it should be him. Maybe it would have been if he had any kind of people skills whatsoever.

Hahaha. No.

Only Horus Said that. And it was later said that the Lion even openly admits that he would of not made a great warmaster.

No he definitely wouldn't. Guillaman however, would be great at it

Full disclosure, I really hate the Lion. He's not even interesting, and I've never liked the Dark Angels. You're probably right about him being completely loyal and maybe Guilliman did have ulterior motives but I just can't bring myself to like the Lion.

I like Gulliman but he always seemed too shifty.

But The Lion was never an adminstrator I can see why people don't like him particular.

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.


Wait, so being bipolar is an excuse for moody behaviour, whilst being driven mad from visions of the future and having nails in your brain isn't?

Oh the Lion said that?! Must be true...

Guillaman didn't betray anyone. He was attempting to start over in case Terra had fallen, bearing in mind he didn't know what was going on because of warp storms. He was setting up a contingency plan.


The Lion was not a traitor, Guillaman was making an empire of his own. Not just because he thought terra had fallen but because he really didn't care. He wanted to rule. He was jealous of Horus being warmaster.

That sounds like someone giving up and saying oh well. I'll do something that could be considered heresy anyway.



Gulliman was consolidating and looking to rebuild the empire because he thought it had fallen and didn't really know what was going on, no where does it suggest that he didn't care. He may have been jealous of Horus's title but he was still a very dutiful Primarch. If we want to talk of his arrogance then thats a different story altogether,,,,,

If he was warmaster. There would of been no heresy, humanity would of live and Lorgar would of been screwed.

The Lion is not an adminstrator, Sanguinius and Horus are.

He wasn't really bi-polar, but more withdrawn and sometimes quick to anger. That's just how he was. I also think Angron had good reasons for going fully nuts. Hell, they should have just called him Angry Primarch.

How? His best friend and second in command got tainted by the warp, manipulated everyone on Caliban, and turned them on the rest of the Chapter. I wouldn't say it's the chapter that are heretics, I think it was mainly Lion El's second in command.

The half of the legion left at Caliban was corrupted by Nurgle through the ambition of Luthor if memory serves.

BTW favorite Primarch is Lemann Russ or Rogal Dorn.

Funny because if Guilliman died, the Ultramarines would of gone to terra and the emperor would still be alive.

Both Rowboat Girlyman and Lion El'Waitandsee were conveniently absent from Terra.
