  1. People keep saying Guilliman isn't the best fighter of the Primarchs, but he's no slouch with it. Pre-heresy, I would put him in the second tier. I think he could have beat Angron prior to his Daemonhood, if it were a straight fight. He is the best logistician though, IMO. Dorn and Perturabo were right up there with the math, but neither of them approach Guilliman in logistical skill. That's how you win wars, how you win battles before they are fought, and how you build an Empire. I think he's the best choice for Lord Commander, if the Imperium were to have a choice again.

  2. I am in agreement Matt Ward probably caused the Ultramarines more hate than Lorgar or Magnus do. Still not a huge Ultramarines fan, but the direction in which Dark Imperium and the newer books are taking them is a definite improvement. Now who do we have to kill to have the Salamanders get the same love…just asking for a friend.

  3. Guillimen is attempting to do something that none of these power boner daemon princes could ever do or even try, and that is sorting out the biggest logistical nightmare in fiction that is imperial bureaucracy (you know something that actually involves trying to run a civilisation rather than just going on a vengeful/destructive rampage)

  5. To be fair being a goody two shoes in 40k is probably a good thing considering the lack of common decency in most places. Also Guilliman did one thing that earns him a gold star from me. He was able to actually make Lorgar regret/feel guilty about what he did by just glaring at him.

  6. Guilliman is the 40K equivalent of a human arnold-terminator.
    Extremely effective, precise, rational… And pissing off a the terminator is extremely bad for your health.

  7. He's like that one anime character that gets beaten down by someone WAY stronger, and then stands up and says "You done?", only to then rip half their skull off and piss in it.
    Technically he's weaker. … """Technically."""

  8. Tbe Corpse Emperor's slaves worshipping a conformist smurf…. seems about right to me… LoL.
    Weaknesses of will and a hopelessness of any future betterment are the shackles that the imperium puts upon all of it's human slaves… Only the eightfold path holds a way out of this fated doom my brothers!
    Blood, for the Blood God.

  9. This reminds me of the run Stracynzki did on Thor for Marvel. Iron man tries to force him to register with the government and Thor is so pissed at everything Tony did in Civil War he almost kills him.Calls down a lightning bolt that fries every circuit in the Iron Man suit, walks over to his immobilized armor and rips the face plate off with one hand. All the while Tony is just freaking out saying they've always been evenly matched it starts dawning on him Thor has been holding back the entire time he's known him. And Thor just looks at him after he rips the face plate off, crushes it in his hand like an empty beer and says. "Never forget who I am. I AM A GOD OF WAR!"

  10. All fear the Ultra-Smurf. Jokes aside, Guilleman is a good character to serve as the Main lead for the new 40k time period. He is the Mini-Emperor, through and through.

  11. His Pros;
    – Doesnt see Big E as a father figure but a Role Model
    – Natural Born Politician and unlike Emps he genuinely like humans because they are humans
    – Not just only learns from his own mistakes, he also learns from others mistakes
    – Knows when to run and when to fight and most importantly when to troll
    – A true opportunitist, and a truer booty hunter (yes im looking at you Yvraine)
    – Occasionally intervene with Mars's politics because its funny

    His Cons;
    – In his youth, he's molested by none other than Matt Ward and became the MeMe factor.
