Which Primarch was the Emperor's ACTUAL Favourite? | Warhammer 40k Lore 

No salamander merch no sale

“There is more to it then yelling ‘ GLORIOUS GOLDEN HAWK BOY’.” There kind of isn’t. It’s pretty open and shut.

You should start asking us to message the people involved in producing the 40k show to have you consult as one of the biggest personalities in the Genre.

Hello Majorkill, Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.

Please do my good sir majorkill, the imperial creed.

He literally made him perpetual and the embodiment of all that is good about humanity. So that alone gives me the feeling that he is.

Big E has also said that vulkan is his greatest creation

Vulkan always gave the best hugs and would always boop the snoot when he could

😂😊🤗@@generaljimmies3429

@@luisesquedadealba6739 to be fair he is literally the greatest one when it comes to size.

Big E wouldn’t trust himself if he were in the Kahn’s shoes either. He was interested in useful tools not individuals who understood his true nature.

It seems like the main division between the two was the Imperial Truth and hiding the reality of the Warp.

He knows the big e is a dictator, but still better than an evil warp god. Khan has true common sense

The Khan is the most sane of the Primarchs.

People hate people just like them though.

Jaghatai wasn't as personally loyal to E-money.

Yeah, Jaghatai lowkey HATED the Imperium. He had some big arguments with Malcador and Big E during his time on Terra and a lot of his legion’s isolation stemmed from not wanting to be part of the Imperium. He was happy to slaughter xenos, orks in particular, and make humanity safe, but a monolithic star-spanning tyranny? No way

He's the only character in the whole series that used his head

The Primarchs were made to accomplish the Big E's plans, and the Khan resisted being the Emperor's tool. Jaghatai wasn't particularly obedient. So he wasn't as useful a tool to the Emperor as he could be.

I think the emperor lowkey liked corvus

Huh I did not know that I’ll have to read into it.

Yeah he literally reopened the Webway for Vulkan despite the havoc everyone went through closing it after Magnus tore it up

Angron is what happens when the Paladin is surgically forced to be the Barbarian.

​@@GhostBear3067 Class Trait: Constant Rage You are always raging and can only act in initiative order. This applies during roleplay as well as combat.

@GhostBear3067 Shit good point!

yes the lion has definitely matured and become more human I think he is the Emperors favourite son right now even though Guilliman is doing a lot the lion is definitely closer

@@ms.blackfire2927 Lion's outright admitted he made the wrong choice with how he treated Luthor. Being able to admit to your mistakes and learn from them is a huge bit of character growth.

@@brettwood1351 To be fair, unlike Guilliman, Lion pretty much was somewhat conscious during his big nap, so he could think on such matters. Now I wonder if Big E was able to do some introspective on himself during those 10 000 years.

@@combinecommando001most likely yes however that introspective being may not be the E we were left with

@@RevolverRho Likely a very melancholic E and yet still holds on for the sake of humanity. After all, only in death does duty truly end and he's not done yet.

Me too man, me too...

Timmy had to be put down for legal reasons

I wish Timmy would come back

😂😂😂😂😂😂 that little b@#$&

Ironic that bullying timmy got major majorkill a channel strike so majorkill had to systematically hunt and purge all traces of timmy from his videos.

That what having a caring foster mom and dad give you - a proper humane none-tarded upbringing.

It's probably why he'd look at a list like this and go. "I can live with that."

​@@myself2noone true, as far as I can tell Guilliman didn't really seem to care much what others thought of him which has to be worth a few extra good primarch points

Robot Gorillaman is one of my favourites

@mikeoxmall69420 He is my only favourite considering I have only read his, horuses and the lions books and Robu is the nicest one of them all.

Never leaves the microwave dirty, always makes a fresh pot of mud...

Their first meeting just comes off as so different from the others. Firstly, Corvus gets a glimpse at what could be argued is the Emperor's real body beneath all the glamour before he's overwhelmed by it like everyone else. And then they have such a personal conversation together, and the Emperor seems genuinely pleased to just hear what Corvus has to say, and even takes a drink of water from a glass he gave him, which is strangely the most mundane human thing I think he's done. He obviously saw some sort of balance in Corvus that touched his human side.

Corvus # 1

Not really, it would basically be a list of first captains.

That's way too easy. They tell us directly in some of the books.

@@borponoida9161 But you're forgetting, most people here asking for videos are too lazy to do any reading themselves. They basically want someone else to spend 10 hours reading a book and condense it down into easier to digest 10 minute videos.

We know Sanguinus’ favorite is Dante. 😊

@@cynreiusacari3163 And Robooty Glittyman's is Huron 🤣

Lion is the most loyal.

I could imagine the lion seeing the wulfen and thinking. "Dad gave leman secret werewolves. Fuckin sick but not as cool as the secret deathbots I got."

The first legion already had dark-age technology before the Lion was found

​@silversurfer8818 and was able to keep them and got more stuff afterwards. The Lion was definitely up there as a favored and trusted son.

@@starhammer5247 Lion is the most loyal to the Emprah, Vulkan is the most loyal to the Imperium and its people

those stomps are going to shake all of holy Terra if the emperor uses all his remaining strength

Corax- Goddammit! 😂

punctuation is hard

Also Emperor always treated Russ and his legion favourably, like allowing him to keep using psykers.

@@jkgf4671 He was one of the few Primarchs the Emperor trusted with the knowledge of the warp, Russ knew about the Chaos gods in the Warp long before most of his other brothers even became aware of them.

Trust =/= love or favour. They can coincide, but they aren't directly linked. The Emperor knew Russ would never betray him because he specifically made him so that he could never betray him. That's the reason for Russ and the Space Wolves having a bit of canine DNA. The Emperor took what made dogs the most loyal companions to humans throughout history and put it into one specific primarch. He was meant to be the Emperor's hound, and that's exactly what he was.

@@wolflordgio6320I'm not sure if he knew. Malcador said that one of the primarchs was told the entire truth about the warp. But it's not specified which one.

He kept it open because he still was thinking that Magnus would accept his offer and the webway project could be saved.

Is that you Captain Capslock?

​@@jkgf4671that's an absolute lie, he rejected Magnus after the only uncorrupted shard of his soul was taken in and remade into Janus. Magnus lies to himself about it to justify attacking the Webway.

@@jkgf4671 Yeah But He Raged During Chess With Malcador.

@@matjov Indeed It Is.

The Emperor loved humanity, but he had to be efficient and cruel to save the species. Vulcan inherited the heart the Emperor wishes he still had, and it's one of the few things he still feels hope in for a future worth fighting for.

Are there any interactions or anything that shows any affection towards Sanguinius? Cuz I don't recall anything. Seems more like meme lore to me. Also why excatly your top 3 doesn't have Horus there?

There was always going to be a heresy though the big E didn't know exactly how it would fall. This is written in the latter Horus Heresy or Siege of Terra books though I can't remember exact sources. The big delta that Chaos threw at it was that it happened way sooner than he anticipated.

I agree on the ambition front which inevitably would lead to chaos and a duel between the two because the Emperor only ever considered his children and the space marines tools for the protection and shepherding of humanity.

This is an obnoxious meme take. Lion was never pretending to be anything, he's just a hunter that rather not politic about anything.

​@@warlordjr.jr. I don't see how it's obnoxious at all. If it weren't for his super human intelligence, he probably would have ended up something like forest Tarzan.

@@warlordjr.jr.after reading quite a few of the dark angels books its an accurate assessment of the lions personality

Ngl that reminds me of Godfrey from elden Ring

​@warlordjr.jr. Only thing is. Russ of all people specifically mentions. How the Lion was well versed in court affairs and the politicking of the lords of Terra.

Lorgar was actually Malcador's favorite

🖤⚫ Using the Angels of Absolution as an example, isn't it cooler to give the Dark Angels (personal rename: the Rock Angels) the bone color and the Death Guard the green color?

Rogal Dorns says so, not the Emperor himself.

Bestest son

And it’s been said dozens of times that Horus was the favorite. This confirms nothing.

@@N0TYALC your comment confirms you never read a single HH novel. You are just an average fanboi.

@@N0TYALC the thing is Horus himself confirms this .

Dark Angeles + Blood Angeles = Dark Blood Angeles

Salamanders + White Scars

Iron Warriors + Imperial fists, best defence and best assault.

@lukeBryen2 I agree, and it follows the "road to hell is paved with good intentions" route. It's more compelling, interesting, and relatable than him just being a villain the whole time. It also makes more sense for the post Great Crusade plan that he seemed to be working towards where some of his sons had genuine purposes beyond just being warlords, a noble goal that he tried so hard to achieve that he would be willing to sacrifice the qualities he desired most. He wanted humanity to guide itself post Crusade, so it makes sense that he would basically use his sons as a backup to himself: all of his best qualities as a warlord in some of them, all of his best humanitarian qualities in others. And THAT is a 4d chess maneuver all it's own without it just being him secretly being greedy. He seemingly made sure that, regardless of the outcome of the many possible strands of future that lay before him, his sons would be there to pick up the slack in his absence. The fact that he also gave true immortality to the only one that actually gives a shit about humanity also says a lot about this: the Great Crusade was about uplifting humanity, not him. This decision made it so that, even if the Emporer lost sight of his goals or was removed from the picture entirely, his humanity would always remain in some form to impact the course of his race and would not be something that the other primarchs could get rid of because it gets in the way of space marines dominating the race.

you do realize it was a buddhist symbol hundreds of years before the nazis right?

Yes, that's why I said swastika, and not a Nazi symbol
