    You don't say. When Perturabo told Dorn that he build the perfect fortress Dorn came kicking down his door (losing hundreds if not more of his men) to find the fortress contained little more than a photocopy of Perturabo's butt with the text "Bite my shiny metal ass" written under it.

    Ever heard of the story of Captain Lysander, who is currently the Captain of the 3rd Company because he sacrificed way too many of his men to get a job done so the Chapter Master of the Imperial Fists was forced to backhand him so hard he fell from the captaincy of the First Company to the Third? Yeah, the Imperial Fists haven't learned much.

  2. That's true.. Dorn would be closer to perfect if he wasn't so damn hot-headed and easy to get carried away. You could make him lose an entire chapter just by giving him a momma joke.
    Even after the end of the Horus Heresy when everyone was trying to pull their shit together Dorn was disappeared chasing heretics around. Not that this didn't help clean the galaxy a bit but still...

    Corax ! Even after his legion was all most but wiped ou after the dropsite massacre he still continued to defend the Imperium. And he is badass with his jetpack !

    ive had this argument before and love it...here goes....
    Horus was the best primarch thats why he was chosen as warmaster......
    but horus himself said it should of been Sanguinius, some Primarchs desputed Horus as the best as warmaster, thinking maybe themselves should of been chosen..e.g the Lion, Perterabo, Dorn ?
    in unremembered empire the guiliman, lion Concedes to Sanguinius, sanguinius becomes empreror of imperium secundis,
    also seeing Horus and the rest of trator primarchs fell to chaos they can not be in contention as best Primarch due to turning their backs on the imperium, the great crusade and their purpose as leaders of space marine legions...
    as for the loyalists..the lion can not control his home planet let alone the imperium, the kahn spends to much time fighting the eldar in webways very little involvement with other primarchs, dorn a good leader but no respect from his brothers, vulkan, ferus, corax lost in combat and lost most of their troops against better leaders, Russ too savage most where afraid of him, Guilliman without a dought the best leader but far from best warrior....
    Guilliman wrote the Codexes organised reforming of near all original legions into the chapters they are today.

    - so to conclude Horus was the best he fell to chaos........Sanguinius was his succsesor.......after the Herasy it was Guiliman

    These are the lines that are correct. This is how Sanguinius is remembered. But for me there is only one Primarch, and ofcourse this is Sanguinius!

  7. The 'best' Primarch depends upon what you guys mean

    The most loyal - Russ
    The best leader - Sanguinius
    The best commander - Horus
    The best fighter - Russ

    and if the 'best' is the best, he would truley survive the heresy....
    So im putting Russ's name up there :)

    wouldent sanguinius be the most loyal as he was offerd by the daemons in fear to tread horus's spot and turned it down
  9. I can show you numerous examples of regular astartes turning down deamons offers, its not that special.

    Russ is the most loyal because he would do ANYTHING the emperor asked, he is the only 1 who would

    Dorn, Sanguinius, Khan. Best Primarchs because they actually did their job.
