Ranking the 10 Most Powerful Primarchs in Warhammer 40K Universe 

My boi Corax is just so stealthy that he hid his place on this list. That being said in terms of fighting prowess he’s one of the best even before he became a bird demon thing after accepting his true nature on a fight his abuility to go invisible is a great boon to confuse the enemy and he was a good fighter even when not ambushing or assassinating I’d say pre bird demon he was comparable to Curze. Now I’m not saying he could beat the Lion or Sanguinius but he definitely deserves a spot on the top 10 most powerful especially after going bird demon mode I’d say he’s a match for the Lion or Sanguinius then, but that is just speculation. Tl;dr: Corax used his stealth to hide his placement on this list, but the raven lord is always where you don’t expect him.

The simple fact of Warhammer lore is that no single Primarch, baring possibly Sanguinius, is guaranteed to always defeat any other Primarch given various mental states, situational advantages, and more. Making a single placement list such as this one ultimately moot. The more broadly accurate way to list out Primarch duelist ability to is list them as a set of Tiers. Tier 1 being the greatest duelists who could conceivably all beat each other depending on battlefields, support or any other situational advantage. Tier 4 would be the lowest tier of Primarch without much in the way of dueling ability. Tier 4 would nearly always lose a battle against any higher tier of Primarch but could conceivably defeat other Primarchs of their own tier. Given the proper situational advantage a tier below should be capable of defeating a higher tier of Primarch though would lost a straight up fight most every time. It should also be noted that this list is more interesting before Daemonhood as Daemon Primach abilities vary wildly depending on the source of canon you look at. The Heresy setting, when all the brothers are on a more consistent footing, is my preferred way of looking at them. With those parameters: Tier 1: Sanguinius, The Lion, Konrad Curze, Leman Russ, Horus, Tier 2: Fulgrim, Jaghatai, Rogal Dorn, Corvus Corax, Angron Tier 3: Vulkan, Mortarion, Alpharius, Perturabo, Ferrus Manus Tier 4: Lorgar, Guilliman, Magnus Again, Sanguinius being the outlier in most every case, each Primarch in each Tier would have a fighting chance at beating each other Primarch inside their own tier, and could punch up to a higher tier if properly prepared. Magnus is the second outlier besides Sanguinius though for a different reason. He is clearly among the worst physical combatants though also clearly far more powerful than any of his brothers. His defeats are nearly always due to the intervention of blanks to dampen his power and bring him back to tier 4. Without Blanks in the picture, there is a strong case to be made that Magnus is far and away the strongest combatant as he simply doesnt need to physically fight but would win the battles with his mind, and he has no equal in that category. Im fairly confident in both Tier 1 and Tier 4, but there are plenty of solid arguments for movement within 2 and 3. Still, this is where im landing on the matter for now. Love to hear arguments to move them around however.

The Lion is considered one of, if not the most martial of all the Primarchs. Horus went out of his way to make sure he was no where near the uprisings so he wouldn't have to deal with him on the battlefield. Lets also add in, he took of Angron in his full daemon price form. He is the 1st primarch and he was the best.

The khan not being in this after kicking mortarions as twice and 2nd time as a demon is jusr pure ignorance also Dorn being on the list 😂

Conrad Curze fought more primarchs than anyone else and won constantly. He fought multiple primarchs at once and won. 1v1 Curze in his prime could kill any brother. He was big, strong, could fight, and had foresight.

While I like the list, I feel Sanguinius and Lion both would mess Horus up worst than they messed up Angron. Horus was extremely charismatic and a magnificent leader but, well, there was a reason he prepared Signus prime to handle Sanguinius and he sent Lion to the Ghouls Stars, the farthest corners of the galaxy. Also, I think Corax should be on Konrad's place. Raven boy is.... Well, a beast. Also, Jagathai should be on Fulgrim's place. The Khan tends to be brutally underestimated, which is part of his tactic.

Its Alpharius. Its ALWAYS Alpharius. Even if your champion wins, more then likely, its just Alpharius in disguise.

Top 5 list 1. Sang (he fought like crazy and didn't fight horus until after he was wounded and exhausted) 2. Horus chaos. 3. Lion ( I believe the lion could beat chaos horus but only because lion against any chaos person is just crazy but I believe against other primarchs or just feats and stuff horus is stronger) 4. Russ. Guy is just weaker than lion and his fighting is brutal and unorthodox but very effective. 5.vulkan, his strength, weapons and armor,regen are crazy and pretty much carrying him into this spot. Honorable mentions Magnus end of crusade. He was so insanely powerful but like his feats and other things make him hard to truly gage. Konrad he was the person I debated on the most to be number 5 but in the end I choose vulkan. Pleasure snake he has insane regen and is very skilled but the regen alone can carry him into number 5 but his insecurities and obsessions kinda hold him back a lot.

It's funny how people always point out that Horus sent the lion on the other side of the galaxy, just to conveniently forget that he made the exact same thing with Sanguinius, the Signus cluster and the forces of two chaos gods.

That whole "Lion defeated Leman" thing is very iffy. Leman started to laugh when he noted how embarrasing the situation was and stopped fighting. The Lion on the other hand was still angry and smashed Leman unconscuious. Understandable in the situation they were in. However, the absolute bitch move from the Lion came when he stabbed a defenseless Leman after the siege of Terra after saying himself "It was never finished, that duel". Although flawed himself, as a brother and man Leman stood high above Mr. buthurt Lion. I agree that the Lion in his prime is a bit better at fighting than Leman. But saying "he won against Leman" is wrong.

Vulkan wins by default, he can’t die.

Hey it's the Mind Q guy voice!! I love your monster and Kaiju vids!

Solid list, but I feel my boy Corax perpetually overlooked. Especially in his current warp infused form.

The point of this topic is always of you consider empowered Horus or not. If is not then he's definetely not first, it is like this: 1) Sanguinius 2) Lion and Russ equal 3) Horus 4) Angron 5) Vulkan 6) Curze 7) Khan and Fulgrim equal 8) Corax 9) Dorn and Perty 10) Magnus

Perty beat deamon angron plus smashed fulgrims face in.

1. Sanguinius / Horus (empowered) 2. Lion El'Johnson (end of heresy) 3. Leman Russ / Angron 4. Konrad Curze 5. Vulkan 6. Jagathai Khan

if we're involving psyker powers, i dont see how anyone beats magnus, unless they bring blanks. if no psychic powers then he is one of the lowest imo

Glad to see fulgrim shown the respect he deserves. Many overlook him. Sanguinius by far no1

i wonder how future sights would interact with each other with the primarchs- if anyone has read mistborn, the way the near future interactions work is when 2 people are using it, multiple projections are shown, effectively negating it i guess that would only effect sanguinius, kurze and partially magnus (considering he can use all his cults' psyker abilities, such as the Corvidae)

The "Friendly Duel" was your Thumbs-Up! P. S.: I agree to your List.

Can leave around food" Perturabo, Dorne Kill for no reason: Angron, Curze Do your homework: Guilliman, Magnus Passive aggressive: Alpariys(passive), Omegon(aggressive) Pretty boy: Fulgrim, Sanguinius Emo/alt: Corvas, Curzon Quarterback: Lion, Lehman, Horus

Pre hersey: 1.Sanguinius 2. The Lion 3. Leman 4. Horus 5. The most disrespected primarch The Khan (or Fulgrim)

Pretty good list honestly.

The lord of the 1st should always be 1st! That being said Corax I think should be on here. He is basically 1v1ing the warp while trying to hunt down another primarch. Most people avoid the warp he is basically battle charged it, turned into a huge ass kicking bird thing all in the name of vengeance which is just awesome.

Rogal dorn: I am short i am stout, here is my teapot here is my spout. I can relate.

Rogel gave Fulgrim a beat down. A totally 1 sided duel.

I love your videos bro!

Nice shoutout to Majorkill at 0:50 :D

Your voice, with the accent, saying “beeyotch”…….. I need that as my ringtone.

Change Angron to Khan in my opinion. Can't even kill a half faced tired Guilliman. *Angron is still good for a time until Guilliman used words to provoke him and Lorgar turning him to demon, I know it's plot armor for Guilliman but still plenty of time to swat a battered Guilliman, if Angron is 8 that makes Guilliman 10, which would be wrong because there is the Khan, Horus and Mortarion which are also no slouch at battle prowess. And also Corax even though his not one of the best he believes he can defeat Conrad (which is pretty high on the list for fighting lion and Guilliman) if his mind is clear at the time. in terms of strength okay, but battle prowess 8 is high 10 would be good, don't get angry at me Magnus fans but come on losing to sisters of silence Guilliman and space marines, also being empowered by chaos and one of the most powerful psykker that's 11 for me, 9/10 Angron. 9/10 Dorn 8 Khan (this guy is one of the duelist, and is confident enough to say he can defeat Fulgrim, I don't even know if 8 is a fair rank)

Epic vid

No Khan… Seriously?

Surprised to see angeron on this list, he got his ass handed to him by purterbo and even lion el johnson.

1 lion, 2 sanguinius, 3 horus non demon, 4 mortarion non demon, 5 russ, 6 vulcan, 7 angron non demon,8 night haunter, 9 corax, 10 the phynician

I'd put Magnus to be number 1, only if he got to use all his psychic might obviously. Dude could jeet titans around like I jeet around the neighbor's annoying kid. Note: I'm talking about late Crusade early Heresy state primarchs.

Vulkan lives stomp stomp

Logar wishes yo mwmma a merry xmas

Plot twist : the two missing primarchs are the strongest . They aren’t really missing , they’re just in stasis beneath the imperial palace

No Perturabo? Even though he fairly comfortably defeated a daemon elevated Angron?

Not sure how peope keep putting Russ below Horus. Russ straight up beat chaos powered Horus.

As usual, Corax is sort of forgotten and not understood enough. He’s in the warp (and living) and making his fellow primarch run away in terror. The same guy he didn’t just beat, he decisively mopped the floor with Lorgar’s body. Yes lorgar is the worst fighter. No argument found here (or anywhere). But he also was able to do that while Kurze came into shank him and got away. Name any other primarch that has survived a 2 v 1. But his main thing, is that he can straight up go invisible. That ability alone would win him 75% of primarch fights by default. Most wouldn’t even know their beheading was coming. For what its worth, the lion and the khan are high up the list. IMO, Russ is well loved by fans, but his ranking is overstated. He’s above mid tier, but isn’t top tier. I love Sanguinius, but i think that’s another inflation. Still top tier, but not top top tier. IMO, one of his primarch traits is his likeability. Everyone reveres him from commoners to his own (often jealous and salty) brothers. But they all get along and like Sanguinius. We always hear the legend of his greatness. But, i think everyone’s opinion in universe was flawed in their ability to perceive him. We know the emps could do this. I suspect Sanguinius has this power to some extent. People point to his work at the gates of terra fighting daemons. Daemons are cheap plot points to imply strength, but which are lore-expendable. Primarchs aren’t. He also knew that wasn’t his fate. That can embolden you, especially if you have a berserker style of combat. He has also lost his only primarch fight he ever fought. Sure it was Horus. The other guy everyone revered for his legend, but maybe wasn’t all he cracked up to be. But russ beat elevated horus. Sanguinius didnt. (and russ lost to Angron). How would that be possible if he was that tier?

Imagine if sanguinus was boosted by chaos energy. He would probably come close to chaos god powers

These kinds of vids are interesting but of course are totally subjective IMO. I do think however you should have made your choices limited to pre-Heresy/pre-corruption times. You know, the good old days when the 18 were [mostly] bros and buddies. Obviously, post-Heresy, Horus became the numero uno badass primarch, which is why I do think pre-Heresy comparisons are best. :)

I feel this is an excellent reference point, i move the Khan higher aswell as Dorn sangi and lion are first leman and horus probably second. Say what you will Russ had a kill shot lined up on Juice Papa horus and didn’t take it

I liked this video but in my opinion Jagatai should be in the top 10 and Magnus should be higher in top 6 :)

Hey there Nutbug, indeed quite a controversial subject, but a cool one to discuss about. That being said I have to hard dissagree with you. And I'll tell you why. (I'm only talking about the part with Horus) Before anything I'd like to state that in no way I'd like this comment to be read in "a hateful way" please, I'm just sharing my little knowledge in order to have a discussion. I only have read the heresy and I'm about to finish Saturnine from the Siege of Terra, so there's stuff that I haven't read yet. I wanted to make that clear. So I'll speak from what I've read, hopefully. First of all there're some facts that you mention that are wrong. But please let me know if I got it incorrectly so I'd be happy to correct myself. 11:35 Until here from what you mention about Horus I do agree. Now onwards. If I got it correctly you say "early part of the Heresy" Horus fights Russ. If this is the fight in Wolfsbane, I'm afraid that's not the early part of the heresy rather the late. And Horus is juiced with the Chaos power. Now Russ has the spear of the Emperor (so maybe it's even terms? not really my place to say anything regarding "equal or unequal terms". I recall that fight, and Russ is barely holding the blows from Horus but manages to wound him, then has second thoughts (just for a brief moment) on giving the killing blow because he literally sees his brother, the loyal one, not the puppet of chaos. And gets stabbed right back from Horus because his hasitation. And this wound from Russ, it's way more impactful than people know actually or atleast this is the impression that I've, because I read a lot of "Russ was a fool of leaving terra" I was like that too, not going to lie until I kept reading the books. Then you say Horus kills Sanguinius. Yeah that's true. But mate : ( you don't mention that (As far as I know on today from reading reddit etc, might be wrong) Sanguinius fights Angron, getting wounded, then fights Ka'Bandha (not necesirely in that order) and then Sanguinius goes on to fight Horus. And like other comments mention, fights a fresh Horus. Like c'mon you have to at least mention that context because it's important. That being said you made a cool video. :P

Russ said there were only two brothers he respected as fighters. Sangunious and Cruze. San because he was the best. Cruz because he was a straight up killer.

I love how everyone’s list is just not touching the golden angel boy at the top. Like at this point top 2 and below is interchangeable but if you put sangy anywhere below 1 you bout to commit heresy

With no plot armor and really thinking through what each Primarch would really be capable of I’d say the best list is this 1. Vulkan. Can’t die without hack weapons which need command codes. 2. Magnus. Even against others with resistance to warp power he could easily just use his powers indirectly (using his powers to thrust his physical fist forward without enough force to decapitate a Primarch) 3. Probably Angron. High ranking daemons of khorne all have powerful wards against magic. He’s among the strongest and fastest of the Primarchs. He can fly. Also interesting lore note, the Chaos Gods believed that even with their combined help there were only 3 Primarchs that even had a chance of killing the emperor. Sanguinius, Horus, or Angron.

Magnus as an completed body and not just shareds he would be the best

where is the Khan? cmon dude

Since when does Conrad have telekinesis and matter manipulation? Please I’d love to know!

I'm on all ten spot of this list.

This video made the same mistake all the primarchs did. The primarchs seen to fight the least by others and the one they all respect and some fear. Jaghatai Khan is 3rd on my list. Then sang then Horus. 4th lion, 5th angron 6 fulgrim 7th would be corvus 8 would be Conrad and finally at the bottom would be mortarion.

without demon boosts i would say top 5 is horus, sanguinius, lion, russ and curze, not sure of the exact order

Duling 10. Porterrobo 9 . Rogal Dawn 8 . Faris 7 . Fulgrim 6 . Angron 5 . Horrus 4 . Rus 3 . Lion 2 .Conrad 1 . Sanguenious U

Pretty sure perturabo punched in fulgrim

Where's my boi Peter Turbo

1. Sanguinius 2. Lion 3. Curze 4. Russ 5. Horus (chaos buff doesn’t count) 6. Fulgrim 7. Vulkan 8. Magnus 9. Angron 10. Guilliman For me this is a list of best in a 1v1 fight. Horus was made war master because he was the best general and had been with the emp for the longest, not because he’s the most badass.

Sanguinius and the Lion is 1 and 2 or vice versa

You entirely missed where Konrad took on Bobby G and The Lion, at the same time, and won over them both only to be saved by plot armor. He only lost against The Lion because he was just awakened on the surgery table, threw his gear on and took off to fight without so much as a pause to try and heal. Konrad is up there with Sanguinius and it is pretty well known by sheer admission through several major characters that Konrad was S tier fighter. 1. Sanguinius 2. Konrad Curze (healed and ready not plot armor screwery) 3. The Lion (and this would be damn hard to solidfy between The lion and Curze for this spot.) 4. Leman Russ 5. Fulgrim 6. Angron 7. Rogal Dorn 8. Ferrus Manus 9. Alpharius 10. Corvus Corax

I mean technically papa sang did kill angron but death was no longer a permanent thing for angron

The Khan and Guilliman both belong on this list, probably at 5 and 7 respectively. The Khan is known for his ability as a duellist, probably around Fulgrim’s level, mad that he isn’t here. Guilliman not featuring is somewhat excusable, as he is the Horus heresy equivalent of The Avatar of Khaine/ Swarmlord (most likely due to being alive in 40k), however, if you look at all of his Primarch fights, the odds have been against him, he rarely went out of his way to seek out 1v1 combat, meaning he usually entered duels without the initiative - it is explicitly stated that (admittedly before any chaos shenanigans) only four or five of his brothers could beat him in a duel - most likely the Lion, Russ, Sanginius and Horus (for my money the Khan and Fulgrim would also take him). Hell, he survived fighting both powered up Lorgar and Angron, exchanging fairly even blows with both of them, which other Primarchs could pull that off?? It’s also worth mentioning that in both editions of the tabletop game - Bobby has been in the top 5 duellists mathematically speaking (although I fully accept that to some people this means nothing…) The biggest issue with this list (which is otherwise fairly solid) is Dorn being here, I love Rogal, but also think that if the writers hadn’t shit the bed by having Dorn kill Alpharius (or did he?????) Corvus, Perty and Ferrus would comfortably be seen as better than Dorn, sadly a confirmed Primarch Kill does help a lot! It’s a shame, because realistically Corvus (especially in demon-bird form) would absolutely tear through Dorn…

And no one mentions Mortarion

Did he really put vulkan in 6th position? 😅

No Jaghatai Khan?! Dude come on.

Perturabo beat Daemon Primarch Angron and humbled Fulgrim. He isn't know for dueling, because admitted duels are stupid. On the table top he's a powerhouse that can crush most other Primarchs, losing out mathammer to a small handful. He did lose to Daemon Primarch Mortarian, but that was due to the Aura of decay alone.

Its Jaghatai for me

The Lion Sanguinius Leman Russ thats my top 3 ( and im a Long Fang and Russ is 3rd, i apologise my leige)

formidable, formidable, formidable, formidable, formidable, formidable 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

imo Sangui>lion>horus/conrad/khan>probably vulcan/magnus>angron>raven man>the rest. this would be in human form, demonic form prob angron just beneath the lion then magnus. Although magnus should technically be the strongest primarch by far but lol.

1. Tie with Lion and Sanguinius 2. Russ. I hate him but yeah 3. Magnus (literally a magical god his plot just sucks ass) 4. Angron (my fav) 5. Dorn 6. Perturabo 7. Jaghatai 8. Kurze 9. Fulgrim 10. Corax Honorable mention: Mortarion if he wasn’t a whiny bitch he’d probably be top 5 but instead they just made him a damn scooby doo villain

feel like curze should be higher, Russ himself said he wasn't sure he could beat him and Curze fucked up a lot of primarchs in 1v1s. GIven what Russ sais and his victory over Lion, I'd have him over Vulkan and Fulgrim, maybe not demon fulgrim though.

pre hersey, i think sanguinius , lion, curze, russ and horus are all S tier and comparable to each other. Obvs chaos amped horus is strongest.

I would put angron much higher then 8

Rogal and Russ shouldn't be on the list, replace them with Perturabo and Corax

You're out of your fuckin' mind for leaving the Raven Lord on this list, my dude. His new "Daemon of Order" form alone should've been reason enough to guarantee him a position! Usually, I find your videos agreeable, but dude... ya let us down this time, man. :-p

you missed corax he is at least top 5 of the most powerful primarchs

Well i do agree with this top exept for magnus wich i would put in third position... he lost on prospero??? Not really he didnt fought...

I am certain that if sanguinius wasn't exosted before fighting Horus, he would have destroyed Horus.

So we got fulgrim and dorn on the list even though perturabo has beat them both ? People forget that perturabo has out witted dorn and lifted up fulgrim and punched his face in

1st Legion Best Legion.... For the Lion... FOR THE EMPEROR

Rogal smacked the slanneshi dogshit out of fulgrim, solo’d samus and perty wanted nothing to do with him “Perty smacked Angron btw.” I would put Dorn at 4 Kurze and Corvus should be higher the Lion and Sangi I would say are close and if you don’t consider horus being super juiced by all 4 chaos gods I imagine Leman, Sangi, or Lion could likelly beat him.

A small detail many tend to forget about the fight between Lemun and Magnus is that the fights outcome was very uncertain until the very end and this was while Magnus was handicapped. He fought Lemun without most of his psykic abilities since he simultaniously used them to protect the last survivors against the entire invasion force. Had they fought on equal ground, without Magnus being distracted and unable to use most of his powers, he would have completly dominated Lemun. Even if Lemun is nearly immun to psykic attacks aimed at him directly due to his immense willpower and the runes/fetishes on his armor, Magnus could have tipped the scale with access to his kinetic barriers alone. Not to speak of Magnus Pyromancy. Lemun isn´t directly affected by psykic powers, but if Magnus conjured up a small supernova, there isn´t much Lemun could do.

In my opinion in a 1v1 lion just edges out against everyone if I remember, Horus was avoiding lion during the heresy in his ascension state, but he teleported Sanguinius to him. So we can speculate Horus was confident in deafeting Sanguinius, but he was afraid lion could kill him or seriously hurt him before the final showdown with the emperor.

One on one tho, Vulkan would clear.

Corves corax

Bruhh why is Konrad there 💀

Where is Khan? Bro... In duel he is so speed that even astartes had problem wit tracking his movemen... WITH EYES

The Lion

Vulkan got whooped several times by Curze. I’d drop Vulkan down. Khan should be just behind Curze, imo. Dorn can drop off the list.

Actually vulkan is the most powerful because he is blooming immortal

Vulkan, fulgrim in top 10 ? Horus 1st ? Nonono...

Let's do a tier list as requested: This is a list pre-heresy, as the deamon primarchs abilities are ridiculously unpredictable and op. This is based on a one on one fight, with the full intention to kill each other and "limiters" removed. I will start at the top: 1. Sanguinius, hands down, shown to have the greatest amount of feats and power, defeating a greater demon and then going toe to toe whilst tired and injured with chaos infused aangron, puts him at the top by far, precog abilities similar to curze. You eve. Have the lion ceeding the throne to him and Russ, the executioner, stating that he couldn't beat him in a fight. 2. The lion, greatest duelist of them all, an ability that almost seems as if he can change fate, or at the very least, react faster than thought. Whilst he did need the special shield to do it, he beat a very powerful demon aangron, after having a snooze for 10k years. 3. Magnus the red. With all limitations removed Magnus is a psyker of such unbelievable power, implied to be stronger than malcador, who easily subdued Horus with psychic might. With no restrictions he could ruin most others. Whilst he was beaten by Russ, this is more of a situation that Russ is the natural counter to him. 4. Curze: a complete wild card and with strong precog, he easily takes the 4th spot, Curze even managed to beat the lion once in a fight, and even Russ stated he may not be able to beat him, due to the madness he exhibits. No holds barred and nothing is off limits to him. 5. Leman Russ. The executioner is incredible in combat, and only bested by the others simply due due to their abilities just being too much. Often seen as a fool, this has been revealed as a mask he wears to have people underestimate him. Whilst he could not defeat Horus when infused with chaos without the spear and some help, he was able to go toe to toe with him in combat and gain the upper hand. And likely could have defeated aangron if he wasn't trying to make a point and also wasn't holding back 6. Vulkan, the kindest and possibly gentlest primarchs, also the strongest. Letting him cut loose completely would allow him to defeat nearly anyone in single combat. 7The Khan: his speed and unreadable expressions make him difficult to face in single combat, even able to make orks flee from him with his power on display. 8. Corax: whilst we don't see a huge amount from him, he was recognized as a powerful opponent and his stealth abilities were second to none and he was recognized as a superior combatant by many. 9. Mortarion. Even more heresy, he was formiddible, using an unwieldy weapon and being a master of it, if he took of his own limiters of psychic ability... Who knows how much more powerful he could become. 10. Ferrus Manus, leading the istvan 4 assault, recognized as a leader and if fulgrim had not been empowered, would have defeated him. He is often looked down upon for being killed, but that's a testament to fulgrims empowered state, not Manus overall ability

No Corax? DISAPPOINTED xD Angron is just a dog from arena, no skill, just angry demon, and Horus is more like Roboute. I will never understand why some people think that Horus is the most powerful one just because well he was like favourite "son" a "warmaster". So what? No doubt, that Lion could be a better warmaster. Also I won't agree about the Slanesh lover (well sorry I don't like traitor primarchs, they look like bunch of losers just with some gifts from the chaos gods). So IMHO TOP 3 could Russ, Sanguinius, Lion. Also it would be better to rank them before the heresy without the good stuff from gods or the artifact sword that was used by Fulgrim.

Khan

Perturabo team

MAN NO KHAN?? CORVAX??

Hmm.. Dorn did beat the piss out of Demon Fulgrim tho.. shouldnt he be tugged in between Russ and Fulgrim?

Russ Lion Angron Vulkan Horus Magnus Ferrus Fulgrim Sanguinius Mortarion
