Vulken because if I had them as brothers with the exception of maybe sanguinis (because everyone loves him for good reason) id hate them all.

But he doesn't it during the crusade he seems to try and like them all even the ones like ferrus and dorn who were hard to get along with.

Puts on SS Grammar Hat

Vulkan because he is the most brotherly except for Sangunius. (Everyone Loves Sanguinius). Basically I hate all of them.

But during the crusade he is not very brotherly. I like them all, Ferrus and dorn, yet those two had a hard time getting along.

Technically after the Heresy, but I find it hilarious no one believes Guilliman slayed Alpharius. That and the fact that Fulgrim poisoned him.

Well, I think most of us do, but there are two primarchs to the Alpha Legion. Ergo, theres still one of them, be it Alpharius or Omegon (Oh who even knows whos who anymore) floating around.

On a separate note, frankly, Im a little dissapointed Dakka. Fulgrim at 3 percent? 3 percent?

Fulgrim before the Heresy Series was cool imo, what little fluff we had on him at least, and he was my favourite Primarch. Now, ugh ...

Wouldn't that just split the Alpharius votes? And they are all Alpharius. Or they are all Omegon.

And I see the Lion is making a comeback. Just as planned...

IMHO I thought Fulgrim was fleshed out really well in the book. Hes essentially an egocentric maniac defiled by slaanesh. I especially liked how well you could see him slowly becoming insane, to the climax of the chaos at La Fenice.
Sure, hes a bit of a jerk, but it certainly gives him charachter, at least more so than the "Watch me be almighty" Rogal Dorn (and many of the other primarchs who I think act the same way).
But thats just my opinion, and why Fulgrim is definitely my favorite of the list.

Why Is that selfish bastard the lion so high? Sanguinius is undisputedly the best Primarchs. He's a beast in CC, he's a badass angel with wings, he's an untrained Psyker, he's the first Imperial Farseer, what's not to love?

'cause he's the third best Primarch. The top three of awesome Primarchs is clearly
1) Perturabo
2) Ferrus Manus
3) The Lion

See, I was never a fan of Rogal Dorn, but the Heresy has made the Stone Man my favourite.

I get what you are saying about Fulgrim, he is written well, I just think they took him down the wrong path. I think if they had made him less of a cock it would have been better and his fall that more tragic. What with the possession story as well, which I think wasn't needed.

I think it would have been much much better if he wasn't so much of an arse to start with. His fall would've had more weight to it then but the way it's written it just seems so obvious, he basically starts half way there.

Overall Fulgrim was a good leader. He was plenty inspiring, led by example, etc etc. I respect the fact that he didnt just care about war either, but was a huge patron of the arts.
Personally, I like the fact that chaos was able to grab hold of the thin string of flaw he had (arrogance, pride, etc), and basically pull harder and harder until he finally unravelled. Because, in the beginning, Fulgrim wasnt really that bad of a guy. However, he kind of had to have that cock like quality to make it happen.

Nocturne

Definitely Vulkan.
Just read his emergence story. Nocturne was pillaged and enslaved by dark eldar raiders every year, so everyone used to hide. Vulkan however thought screw this and stands with two blacksmiths hammers in the courtyard. He then proceeds to hammer time over a 100 said raiders with hammers.

its also cool that Vulkan is the largest and the strongest of all the primarchs and is capable of overturning Space Marine battle tanks with his bare hands . He is said to be as tall in his power armor as Horus is in his own, much larger Terminator armor. He is also a bit of a mastermind and deeply cares about humans and his legion, unlike SOME primarchs. I guess being a perpertual is a little cool as well.

Is it just me or would Vulkan have been just shot in the face repeatedly if that were actually true?

The Dark Eldar probably would have seen a grand prize for their gladiator arenas rather than an actual foe, so its feasible that they didn't just continually shoot him and instead closed the distance hoping to subdue him.

It is true. Vulkan had mustered some local townspeople to fight with him but on several sources it says Vulkan killed well over 100 raiders with his blacksmithing hammers alone

Vulkan is immortal. The Dark Eldar could have blasted away with Dark Lances and he'd simply respawn through it. There's nothing they could do to him.

Why like the lion? Like Dark angels are evil as hell but the lion?! He is a pompous ass who kills his own men because he gets pissed when they talk back.

God I hate the lion...

Vulkan is my fav he and his men are equal (in his eyes) and the whole part of him bowing to his men instead of them bowing to him way cool!

I fething swear, it's like people don't even bother to actually read any Dark Angel books, and instead get everything they know from 1D4Chan. The Lion isn't pompous, he's bipolar. He's perfectly chill most of the time and accepts criticism, only his emotions swing and he lacks any grounding due to spending his childhood in a forest surrounded by Daemons.
