12 Most Powerful Living Heroes of the Imperium (Warhammer 40k)

The Grimdark has many powerful characters, like the ruinous powers, the emperor of mankind, the silent king and so on. Out of all of these god tier level beings there are also strong characters that are mortal and human. So here in this video we will showcase the 12 most powerful human characters, including Transhuman warriors of the Imperium of man, just the ones that are alive as of the 41st and 42nd Millenium, these wouldn’t necessarily be in ascending order of power as it is almost impossible to rank them accordingly but you get the gist of it.

What I love about Guilliman is the fact that he's so tactically gifted. He and Corvis Corax went head to head in a simulation battle and Corax beat him the first time, after that he never beat him again because Guilliman was just that good at adapting to changing battlefields and tactics. Horus lamented that Guilliman never turned against the Emperor, even stating "Calth burned, yet our brother lives, Roboute. Wise Roboute with his scratching quills, and his plans, and his hope. Too understanding, too strong. Too. Damned. Perfect. I wish he was with us." People give Guilliman a lot of shit because "Hurr Durr blue papa smurf hurr durr" but he was really Horus' biggest threat during the heresy, and he and his legion were the only things that held the Imperium together after the Heresy. When all the other Primarchs were stricken with grief over their father being mortally wounded, and feeling like failures, Guilliman was thinking of the future, thinking of the survival of the Imperium.

Lion is a badass. So glad he’s back.

[@gamechanger8908]

What Guilliman lacks in fighting a battle, he makes up for being the master of supplying and winning a war. His accomplishments are so great in general the only other Primarchs who is second for building and maintaining an empire was Rogal Dorn(his leadership skills is why the Emperor chose him over Perturabo). Though aside from that Lion is no slouch either, he's one of the greatest duelist among his time even now as an older man he still kick Angron's ass, and also one of the briliant tactical minds I'd say even greater than Guilliman, which is why he was one of the few warmaster candidates. He also was entrusted by the Emperor with the DAOT, which shows his loyalty and the absolute trust the Emperor in him and his Legion.

I have to say, I've been watching a few of your videos now and I really like the style and vibe that you're putting into these. This latest had quite a few humorous attempts that went pretty well. It's good that you don't overdo it, at least you pretend to be serious :D

[@wintermute-]

Guilliman is probably the most dangerous of the Primarchs. During the Heresy he was the only Primarch that Horus specifically planned against by planning for him to not be able to make it to defend Terra. Napoleon once said that amateurs discuss tactics but the professionals discuss logistics. As far as who would win in any versus fight like all things in Warhammer that is whoever is wearing the plot armor that day. :)

[@paimonisfood4986]

Him and the Lion were the ones Horus didn't want to fuck with. I'd say he was more scared of the Lion since he didn't even bother to ambush them outright like he did with the Ultramarines and instead sent them to the farthest fringes of the galaxy. He even had a few Dark Angel fleets scattered. He sent the Nightlords to ambush and "slow" them down but instead the Lion ambushed Konrad and his batmen. The Lion was feared by Horus while with Guilliman he was just concerned about him and wanted to annihilate him using the Word Bearers.

[@matthewhansen1610]

Correction, Horus also set a trap for Sanguinius to die so he wouldn’t have to face him.

[@Kierano777]

Guilliman wasn't the only one Horus had specific plans for. He hated and feared Sanguinius above all others and sent him and his entire legion to Signus in the hope that he would be killed by the system falling into the warp.

[@paimonisfood4986]

@@Kierano777 He feared the Lion and his Dark Angels more. He didn't even want to fuck with them since he knew no amount of bullshit would faze the Lion.

A lot of poking fun at Robot Girly-man in this video, but in all honesty, every bit of hate he gets is just jealousy. You think an army can sustain itself on dirt and sludge? How long do you think morale is going to be up when you can't even clothe people, let alone feed them? One of the easiest ways to defeat an army, is to simply raid supply lines, or worse, cut them off completely. Watch as the army crumbles and falls apart in a matter of days. Bobby G is one of the only Primarch's who, instead of trying to learn how to swing his sword *even harder*, he realized "what if... I could just make enough money to make a giant robot swing the sword for me? Or even better, make enough money to make a robot that MAKES GIANT SWINGING ROBOTS!" Roboute Guilliman should, in theory, in a fair fight (disregarding the Primarch's themselves) be able to win essentially every single fight against any other Primarch. He's a Primarch that focused all of their effort in guiding the trillions of the Imperium, rather than simply taking the charge with them. There is a reason he is the poster boy, because at the end of the day, without him, the Imperium may have easily fallen during the Horus Heresy.

[@NBeaver-bx4yl]

I feel like Guilliman is the best asset the Imperium has to survive, but the Lion will be the best tool for it. With the return of Mortarion, angron, Magnus and soon Fulgrim. The imperium will need someone on the Front line that can match them in combat and strategy. Guilliman can orchestrate the global war really well, but in a pure Battle, the Lion is king. Together they will be extremely deadly. Now we only need Rogal Dorn to comeback to fortify the imperium and make it resist the invasions of the Tyranids and the rise of Chaos

Guilliman killing Alpharius or Omegon is very unlikely. Guilliman noted himself "It was way too swift". Dorn 100% killed one of them as this fight was Primarch vs Primarch like. But Guilliman most likely only killed an Alpha Legion Astartes disguised as Alpharius. We know that the twin Primarchs are able to move within their legion unnoticed as they are not much bigger than normal Astartes. So one of the latter could easily disguise as either Alpharius or Omegon. Fooling the Imperium into believing both twins are dead is very Alpha Legion like. Also a surviving twin still leading the Legion and following some strange plans is far better material than a Legion being confused from confusing everybody else.

Kaldor Draigo needs to be recognized as #1 on this list. Of everyone mentioned, he's the only being capable of giving a Primarch a challenge, having bested the Daemon Primarch Mortarion in combat. He's defeated Greater Daemon Lords, such as M'Kar (one of the most powerful entities in existence), Daemon Primarchs (Mortarion) and Bloodthirsters in 1-on-1 combat, something no one else on this list is capable of doing. Mephiston should be #2. As currently amped, he is the second or third most powerful living Psyker in the Galaxy that isn't a Tyranid, Daemon Primarch or The God-Emperor of Mankind. #3 would be a toss-up between Celestine and Trajann Valoris. Valoris' strategic acumen is nearly on par with Guillimans, and his greatest power comes from the authority he wields, acting as the undispusted Voice of The Emperor. In combat ability he may probably defeat Celestine, but as she appears to be an Emperor-forged Perpetual, and he is not, the edge could go to her.

Then she fought him and won, albeit with both of them having interference on their side throughout the fight, but still. As much as Abaddon might get laughed at, he's still literally seen as the Warmaster of Chaos ahead of actual Daemon Primarchs. And she impaled him on the Ardent Blade. Trajann, my ass.
