WHY JAGHATAI KHAN IS THE GREATEST PRIMARCH!

[@Shinchibi]

There’s one big thing that Jaghatai did with Magnus’ Shard. While the Shard ranted and raved, he patiently waited and asked one of the most heartbreaking questions that just goes to show how, while it is under layers of armor and defenses, Jaghatai asked Magnus “How do I save you?”

[@maclainholland4236]

[@Shinchibi]

@@maclainholland4236 The book is called “Scars”.

[@mistercmartin]

Let's not forget that the Great Khan once made a WAAGH of Orks afraid to fight and want to retreat in fear. I've not heard of anyone else ever making Orks afraid to fight and want to run away!

[@jamesl3567]

[@bobloerakker9031]

It is indeed very rare.

[@Rensune]

Well, he's not the only one (there's also Commissar Yarrick.) Definitely the only Primarch, though.

[@thijshagenbeek6554]

*Jaghatai* Do you see me? What will be the consequences of inaction?’ *Sanguinius* ‘I see fire, and blood, and a world laid waste if you do not act.’ *Jaghatai* ‘If I act?’ said the Khan. Sanguinius opened his eyes to look at him. *Sanguinius* ‘There is a grave risk to you. A confrontation unlooked for, and if you survive, a flight from one danger into greater peril.’ *Jaghatai* ‘Who will I face?’ *Sanguinius* ‘I cannot divine.’ *Jaghatai* ‘Will I save lives?’ Sanguinius nodded. ‘Many.’ *Jaghatai* ‘That is what I was made for,’ said the Khan. ‘I will ride out.’

[@dalaminaubis7822]

I think his best moment is when he's speaking with Sanguinius on the potential future outcomes of his decision of where to go and fight. Finally he asks Sanguinius "Will i save lives?" "Many" "That is what I was made for."

[@thekurgan14]

He deserves the title for him asking Sanguinius if he would save lives, alone the rest is just gravy.

[@MrSororitas]

Definitely totally underrated. His greatest power is common sense. Something truly rare in WH40K

[@theodoremccarthy4438]

It’s pretty rare IRL too

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

By no means underrated anymore. Use to be sure... but now he is universally beloved.

[@ridgefrost]

judging from what the emperor's vision for what the primarchs were to be, it would actually make jaghatai the greatest primarch, he valued life even more than vulcan, he never made rash stupid decisions, he always picked his battles well and he was willing to die in defence of regular terrans while the other primarchs like dorn and sanguinius were more focused on protecting the emperor during the heresy, heck even the emperor ended up valuing the khan so much that despite being preoccupied with literally holding all of chaos from bursting forth into terra he still spared time to grab the khan's soul from the warp and stitch it back to his body so he wouldn't die after he had beaten the breaks off demon mortarion, this is crazy cuz ferrus had been dead for a while and he was in no hurry to bring him back or even vulcan

[@johnlucas2838]

In the Emperor's eyes, Jaghatai Khan was too much of a wild card. Though he was a wild card that was on Humanity's side, not the Emperor's or Chaos's side.

[@grimwight1077]

@@johnlucas2838all that means is the emperor couldn’t predict what he would do… couldn’t control him. He challenged the imperial truth because he knew it was a lie. As you said, he was loyal to humanity. Not the emperor, and not chaos. He is the greatest primarch.

[@riseabove2419]

​@@grimwight1077Which is exactly what the emperor actually wanted. He didn't want people to worship him, he wanted mankind to be united and all powerful. The only reason the emperor wanted to live was so he could keep humanity alive. The Khan of Khan's valued life and logic.

00:00 oh fine you make a pretty good case, I guess I agree he’s the greatest

[@Maxidemt]

Jagatai is my favorite primarch

[@babysealsareyummy]

I would love for him to be the next primarch to come back. I feel like his lore gives him the perfect foundation to hop back into the fray: he has an open ended disappearance chasing after prey, he’s got enough anti hero qualities that we can keep the grim dialed up (don’t want it too hopeful), and he’s mysterious but not in a ham fisted over the top obnoxious kind of way (looking at you Alpharius/Omegan)

[@sanadamakie]

Something that's been ruminating around my head since Arks of Omen is that Vashtorr succeeded in tunneling into the Webway, right? Which Primarch disappeared into the Webway? The Khan himself! It's perfect.

[@lukefishlock2715]

Jag is my favourite Primark, after him the Lion and Guilleman. For me he has the ability to always turn the tables of any situation and is so much smarter than given credit.

[@Tehquall]

00:05 ok you sold it to me, the Khargan wins

[@coryling4014]

Been my favorite ever since he started getting fleshed out in the lore. Cunning and thoughtful, fierce and measured, a scholar and a warrior and the fastest boi in the land.

[@santoineallenhhu7874]

Am a simple man I see Jaghatai I click and I like

[@master11211]

I too saw the reddit post asking this exact same question, still going with Dorn but the Khan is a close 2nd, he is awesome. Love the videos Rho, ty my dude!

[@aidanjones4067]

His endurance is... Superior.

[@bodricthered]

Nearly up to the level of that moustache...

[@davidk6269]

The fact that Jaghatai Khan is the greatest primarch is self-evident. ; )

[@jeremyleonjonas7657]

Now, common sense aside... he proclaimed his loyality by literally ripping out a Greater Demons heart with his bare hands. He saved many lives of Terras civilian population during the siege. Heck, he saved the siege when Mortarions plagues began wearing down Rogal (and the mere notion of a counter attack did wonders for morale).

[@akumaking1]

Start playing “Wolf Totem” by the Hu.

[@GreasusGoldtooth]

The Khan is the adult in the room, even when standing next to the Emperor.

[@JJennerUK]

Also, when fighting Morty he literally was chosing not to fight back. Instead 'He withstood' as a dig at Morty being to weak to break away from chaos. Yes, he may have been on deaths door after but the fact that when he started fighting back he basically bodied morty is insane

[@ralach]

The "White Scars" and their primarch need all the love they can get! (Honestly, though, my favorite primarch is Vulkan! (Stomp, stomp!)

[@lazylazymule]

The sons of the Khan respect it! Vulkan and his sons are fantastic in their own right! As one Salamander once said to a lesser space marine: "If you lack the strength to save one human life, how can you possibly save the Imperium?" I love Jaghatai Khan and the Scars too much to say Vulkan and his sons are the best Legion, but boy do the Salamanders give us a run for our money!

[@MrJordwalk]

@@lazylazymule As a Salamanders collector/player, I admire The Khan and your Legion in return.... ESPECIALLY BECAUSE JAGHATAI WAS THE ONLY Primarch who saw Chaos for what it really is: A cure immeasurably worse than the Imperial disease.

The Khan is definitely badass. He is one of the most interesting primarchs that until the horus heresy series I really didn't know much about. I love how he was Magnus friend.

[@milankostic2571]

Unlike Angron and Konrad ones this video actually makes sense

[@MarkStorey-dc4tm]

I agree with this. As someone who never saw the Imperium as the good guys, but also saw Chaos as even worse, Jaghatai always appealed to me.

[@ElCalavera89]

Just watched a long hour video on Jagatai Khan, I need no further convincing. Still, nice video!

[@warwolf88]

what i like about the khan is he was loyal to the emperor but he was very much his own man he made up his own mind no one made it up for him😊

[@chaptermasteruncakoro24]

I gotta say this is such a good idea for primarch videos, stating the case for why they all are the greatest. Good job

[@56aralon]

I think it would have been great to see the scars and wolves fight together. There would have been some epic banter! 😆

[@johnwoytassek6799]

7:00 because Kahn has basic common sense (funny not to common in primarchs) if he was aggressive with Russ it would not be good for him.

[@System-Update]

The Kahn the greatest? Maybe, there can be a debate. Coolest? No question mtha fker. All the best lines. Always chill, like sub-zero.

"The Khan ran his hand in his face, rubbing the scar that ran down his left cheek 'he has done this 14 times before' he said. 'When my brother horus was returned, there were festivals for a month they told me. now they barely notice another one arriving.'" - Warhawk of Chogoris Looking at these primarch videos and the diminishing return on views for every video reminds me of this quote from the Khan. Maybe it's due to popularity of certain Primarchs over others. Or maybe it's due to diminishing returns and burnout. I hear people speculate what wargear each loyalist would return with to add intrigue, but much like when the legions were first created, the first gets all the special attention and focus compared to the others. We've only had two return as far as we know, , but it makes me wonder if we'll get fatigue with every new primarch despite them coming out ~5 years apart from each other

[@bernardabang4107]

Sucks how many times Guilliman gets beaten one on one by his brothers. I wonder if Jaghatai and the Lion fought who would win.

[@garysuarez9614]

NOW you're talking my lingo!

[@RawDogAnAeldari]

Hes def my personal favorite

[@krel3358]

Jagatai's superpower is turning his opponents strengths against them. I'd think if anyone actually stood a chance to beat Horus if he didnt have to do what he did against Mortarion it would be him.

[@alainmilette6460]

Who else is bracing for best primarch: Perturabo? 😂

[@ditmarvanbelle1061]

Incorrect. He was not the only one to make a deliberate choice during the Heresy. You yourself raised the point that Alpharius had to make a dreadful choice (which is why some people claim he's the greatest if you can believe it xD) EDIT: AWWW bless you. I type my comment, resume playback, and you continue with "what about Alpharius?" ......... Well played, Sir.

[@spacekicker4]

Wait till he finds out his dad is a choas God

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

Jagatai won against Mortarion because he came to die and win. He gave his life to banish Morty. On the facts it was a draw... A banishment for an near-death. But Jagatai wanted that and Morty did not. So it is a win for the Khan.

[@oatlord]

I thought the question was answered with the Curze video.

[@LouisKing995]

So here’s what I’m wondering. People often depict the primarchs as matching the ethnicities of their legions but I don’t thank that can be the case, they are all just clones on the emperor more or less. So the khan is often depicted as a Mongolian-esque lad, lad, much like his legion are meant to be, but wouldn’t he actually be an Anatolian, so Caucasian looking dude just wearing the trappings of a a Mongolian person. Same for the other Primarchs too

[@lazylazymule]

Nahh Khan is Mongolian same as Russ is Scandinavian. The Primarchs are born of the Warp, the realm of dreams and ideas. So the places they landed and the cultures and ethnicities those planets embodied shaped the Primarchs. Jaghatai would have looked different, and had a completely different name and personality if he hadn't been stolen and dropped on Chogoris.

[@jordanreeseyre]

Jaghatai was & always will be, his *own* man.

[@W1ldTangent]

I always used to think of the White Scars as boring and barely even though of Jaghatai at all, but The Khan as over time sneakily become one of my favourite characters. Still don't like the Scars enough to paint that much white though

[@cesarerinaldi6750]

⚪🟢 Nurgle's White Scars have three eyes just like Nurgle's symbol. Jaghatai Khan becomes the symbol of Life and Death (for his poisonous and plagued corruption). As Daemon Primarch of Nurgle he changes his title from Warhawk to Deathhawk! Jaghatai Khan and White Scars as Nurgle's Legion, with small poisonous bone spikes, bringers of the plague storm (with Rotigus Rainfather at their side). After each hunt and victory they dip the skulls in poison, in honor of Nurgle. (They symbolize the more natural side of the God of Death)

3 moments sold me on Jaghatai being my favorite and its certainly not the often misinterpreted insult to fulgrim..1 his conversation with the shard of Magnus on Prospero, that shit was gut wrenching..2 Sanguinius, Constantin and him having a laugh with the local guard leader during the siege when he said "id rather strip naked and charge all of them than give any one of you an order"..3 when when he and his men sacrificed themselves against the death guard to save to people which was who Jaghatai viewed all this fighting to be for anyway, the regular people

It's both his warrior abilities and his ability to see through the BS. The War Hawk is the greatest primarch.

[@monkofbob]

He is the greatest in the capacities you list, however as a Primarch qua Primarch, he is not the greatest. His role, his entire purpose of being, was to serve the Emperor in his crusade to protect humanity and then retire to the hobbit village the Big E made for his sons. Jaghatai is independent, he never really agreed to serve the Emps, he just knew it was the wiser of the two options. He questioned whether Horus was right and the E was wrong. That makes him a fantastic Primarch to the White Scars, but terrible at his created purpose.

I normally LOVEEE your vids...BUT, Lord Rho...I feel like your faith in our Khan is lacking. You didn't elaborate that he made orks run in terror. The only brother he didn't know how to defeat was Morty, whom he beat. He was the switched at birth and forever became a wild card. Even Malcy wasn't sure which side the Khan would take. ALL of this points to his greatest trait...independence. The Khan is the greatest because he is largely un-tethered.

[@logangodofcandy]

He weighed chaos as an option.

[@novataco5412]

He weighed all the options and didn’t choose chaos. Sanguinius was ready to surrender his life to a demon on Signus, and he’s still obviously great.

[@aasdfghk45]

I don’t think he ever considered chaos, he thought about following Horus instead of the emperor and as soon as he talked to magnus and realized they were being influenced by chaos he chose his side, everything that happened after that just cemented his choice

Logical sense would say that you would find out more from the person who attacked prospero than you would by going to prospero and being like, yep, it sure did get attacked. the dark angels without their primarch were about to find out the wolves were loyal, and the alpha legion were traitors in no time at all.
