I personally think Corvus is at least in the top 3. I always felt like his interactions with the Emperor were always way more personal than any of his brothers. He got way more details, had many of his questions answered, and also was allowed to proceed as he wanted during the heresy. You could argue Sanguinius, Lion, or Corvus. But there’s nothing wrong with picking Vulkan. That’s why I love 40k though, cause you can have your own thoughts backed up by specific examples.
@dalaminaubis78228 ай бұрын
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.

A lot of authors have written scenes and dialog containing the emperor. So, complete uniformity is literally impossible. However, if you look at his relationship with each primarch, it is basically an exact reflection of their individual personalities. In recent lore, very often he will be, do, appear, or say, whatever is necessary to achieve his goals. And, this is usually dependent upon the mind of the person he is dealing with. One of the recent authors said, "Like any good ruler, he will appear in whatever form that best benefits him at that time." (Paraphrasing.)

I think the reason why Horus is The Emperor’s favorite son is the same as why Horus was always going to fall to Chaos. Horus is quite literally the only primarch with the same level of ambition as The Emperor. Only an ambition of godlike proportions could allow someone to believe their species are the rightful rulers of the galaxy and I think The Emperor found a lot of fortitude in Horus believing wholeheartedly in his plan. However, ambition of that level inevitably leads it’s wielder to believe they are the rightful ruler of the imperium. With 2 beings holding that same ambition within themselves, it was like a ticking time bomb. Horus was most likely The Emperor’s favorite because he was practically a mirror image of “The Emperor”, but not the true man underneath the mantle.

@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.

I’ve always believed the big E’s favourite was Konrad. Someone told E about the traitor primarchs during the siege of Terra and he’s like “yeah that makes sense. not Konrad though, he’d never betray me”

The emperor was never worried about Guilliman turning to caos during the Horus heresy... Malcador was the one who was worried about Guilliman creating a breakaway empire but the emperor reassured him otherwise.

I just realized the reason Perturabo can see the Eye of Terror is because it is what shall break him, his brothers, and the galaxy at large.

I think the emperor did like Fulgrim. The speech fulgrim gave when meeting the 200 marines left after the geneseed incident make the big e cry because it was so inspiring. He also was basically a package deal with horus, learning under him.

I got a few of the Fuckhead santa hats for friends of mine. The look on their faces when they got them. Only one is a 40k fan, but still, I figured I'd give them something from the best 40k loretuber.

Big E loves whoever he currently needs most. So right now the Lion. Seige of Terra? Golden Hawk boy. Clapping the galaxies cheeks? Horus.

Seeing how the emperor reacts to sanguiniuses death now wouldn’t mean much he already got rid of his compassion to fight horus

Idea for you, what was the imperium and everyone's reaction to the emperor being intured upon the golden throne. I love the custodes reaction to strip lol.

Superb video as always @majorkill. Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions, etc

In my Head Cannon I think it's a toss up between Vulcan and Sanguineous after the fall of Horus. I like both of them a lot, though for me, Sanguineous will always be my fav...Can't get enough of the Golden Hawk Boy.

Barring Horus pre-heresy, it has to be Lion (as literally FIRST and thus, oldest of His kids) or Vulkan for reasons stated in the video.

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

I was quite surprised when you said Vulkan, but the arguments you put forward for him being the favourite really do make sense and I cannot think of an argument against him not being. The Lion and Russ are unshakably loyal but like you said The Lion was the tool of choice for major campaigns that just needed to be fought with trumpets sounding and medals being awarded (rangdan) and Russ the tool of choice for the dirty work or to send a message to the other legions that there not doing there compliance well enough. Dorn and Guilliman are just a safe pair of hands for what needs to be done. Excellent conclusion.

Once the big E orders are all done you oughta do a majorkill Vulkan; he’s gotta have his favorite boy with him 😆

Vulkan is also my favourite Primarch for the same reasons. And his Salamanders are just awesome.
