The time has come for the routine Primarch discussion.

We have discussed the wisest; Who would win a battle royale; humble; best in combat and much more.

A lot has been discussed. Pretty much every aspect. So here is a new topic of the primarchs and it relates somewhat to the 40K space Marine games that sadly has been bought by EA so likely to never see a sequel.

But using that same game engine, a pre heresy game is made and you choose which primarch and story line to follow and you play as the Primarch.

Which Primarch would you choose to play as on your first play through?

Me personally I would have to go with Sanguinius or the Lion. The Lion because loyalty being a DA player and I wreckon he;d be hella fun with his knightly relations.
Buuuuut Sanguinius with his finese and wings!

Pre-Heresy... definitely Angron. I'm a big fan of DA as well (have more points of DA than any other army), but the World Eaters are just truly epic pre-heresy. So, Angron for me.

SG

Magnus is a strong contender. His story is really tragic and compelling, plus the whole discovery and harnessing of sorcery both in terms of game mechanics I could imagine and the story that it would entail.

Didn't we just have this thread?

Lion would be the most interesting since he's the least railedroaded in his decision to follow horus or the emperor. You'd actually get to choose the future of the DA at that point.

Russ fight hard then party hard what more could you want from a game than to be the most masculine primarch alive.

Lion. I would like his return. I have Ultramarines but... I don't like Guilliman.

Fulgrim all the way baby! Swan diving into sex, drugs and rock and roll!

Non of that in current year, it upsets the milenials.

I would imagine Horus would have one of the better stories. To actually see his descent would be awesome.

You'd think so, but (at least in the HH novels) he just kinda lets Chaos lead him by the node until he goes 'oops! I guess I'm a slave of Chaos now!."
