WHY VULKAN IS THE GREATEST PRIMARCH!

[@Migolcow]

Malcador: "Old friend, we have found all of our wayward sons. You've seen how they've grown, what they've turned into. Tell me, which is your favorite?" Emperor: "Nonsense, I love all of my sons equally, they are unique with special gifts." (whispers) "vulkan..."

I think that Vulcan being a pepetual mirrors the situation with the Thundewarriors pretty much. When all is said and done and the wars are over who is better to be a pepetual than the one who is most Human.

@mphoramathe1801 Technically we haven't found him but surely a return is due the Beast series did our boy dirty.

[@MasterElements]

Salamanders are my favorite legion, and there is a fan comic about a Salamander who connected with a little girl, who later died to a black legion raid. The Legion came back to cleanse the world of taint and the higher ranking officer talks about how other chapters shrug off casualties like this and become numb but it is the Salamanders who bear the burden. Which I think is a cool take on it, also I have a headcannon that a green lantern ring starts to enter the atmosphere after the original comic ends.

[@silversurfer8818]

The greatest travesty of Vulkan was his representation by his main Author Nick Kyme. If we were to gather all of Vulkans dialogue, throughout the entire Heresy - we could barely fill, half a page.

[@andrewjohnson5365]

@@silversurfer8818 Real.

[@mikestafford6900]

100% agree! Kyme is a boring writer and made those 3 books a real slog to get through. He sucks!

[@fedupN]

Agreed. Kyme is not a good author and im bummed he got designated the Salamanders writer.

[@warwolf88]

he deserves better

[@luxeternity]

Nick Kymes need to be ban from writing Vulkan. Give the dude to Guy Haley or Chris Wright

[@Whatevs13]

Vulkan is truly The Emperor’s Champion. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing to be, but he does seem to be the one who gets the most important assignments. Being dependable is his primarch superpower.

[@dil09ful]

I think he's his favorite son. He's never called any if the primarchs son. He's never called or referred to as My Son.

[@drunknnirish]

It seems like him and Corax are the ones tasked with the most important things and deepest secrets. Vulkan was tasked with the fail safe of Terra and Corax was given the info about the primarchs.

[@goingforgold_8536]

Vulkan is definitely one of the most interesting primarchs, he stands out with his attributes.

[@dragonmanj]

I will always remember when Vulkan escaped Cruze's ship. It was incredibly badass of him. I do hope we eventually see him again.

[@pitchforksdragon1252]

As a perpetual Vulkan will be the last Primarch standing. The emperor chose him as the greatest.

[@QixTheDS]

Instant click. Vulkan lives.

[@seymourfields3613]

Vulkan lives! Seriously, though, I wonder if the Emperor gave perpetuality to Vulkan knowing he was going to sacrifice himself for humanity.

[@dil09ful]

I like hearing others say that Horus was Emp's favorite son, but I think it's Vulkan. The reason why I think he's the favorite is that he's always called the other primarchs by their names. He's always called Vulkan "My Son". He never called Roubaute, Sanguinus, Horus or even the Lion son. Because like Rho said he told Vulkan that he is his greatest creation.

[@jaegerbomb269]

Everyone loves Vulkan!

[@Vilcor]

And Vulkan loves everyone. Well, maybe apart from Konrad Curze and Fulgrim.

[@phughett213ify]

Absolutely loving this series. It's never 100% with topics like this, but, Vulcan really might be the best in so many categories. Commander, Duelist, Fabricator/Weponsmith, Tactician (not as strong as other maybe), Ultimate level of Humanity and compassion, then all his incredible sacrifices and achievements on top. I genuinely like Gulliman, and he has alot of top tier achievements and skills, has died multiple times and has kept coming back, never forsaking humanity, but not on this level.

[@sovereign-of-scars4372]

I genuinely don't think Vulkan alone was a perpetual. I think the 11th Primarch probably was one too, or maybe theirs another reason the Emperor locked up Subject XI in the dark cells.

[@Toto-95]

AH ! This one i could get behind !

[@theochristopher8873]

The greatest primarch is definitely a matter of opinion but, I think the strongest case could be made for Vulcan. His character embodies not only that of a classic hero of myth but, also traits and qualities universally viewed as virtuous and admirable in the real world we live. Furthermore, I'd put my money on Vulcan as the greatest primarch at the grill of a BBQ!

[@Migolcow]

I mean that's not even a contest...dude can turn them over barehanded, and has the most high-tech, time warps mistakes away grill ever.

[@lennonthomas1223]

my headcannon is that when vulcan and the ork were destroyed in the waghh reactor core thing, that they were fused and now we have a half ork half primark perpetual out there somewhere

[@CountDVB]

So we have Primork Vulcan Humiehugga with his WAAAAGHuggers?

[@mphoramathe1801]

I'm still rooting for the tts version of Vulkan, a little orky and a lot of crazy... "Begone brain ghost Feris, you are not friend"

[@baronnexus8524]

That's actually pretty interesting. Just imagine what he would make using his craftsmanship and the reality gaslighting abilities of the orks

[@Voitan]

Awesome space marine designs, a humanist with his empathy intact, and his people have an awesome abhuman mutation that's just a benefit in general.

[@baloonfart8082]

As a Commander in the Salamanders Legion, that's my guy.

[@thisguynamedmatt12]

Vulkan was made the strongest. Strongest of mind, body, soul, and heart. He persists so long as humanity persists. He is that indomitable human spirit. He refuses to give up, and his nature as a perpetual had nothing to do with it. He would give himself up a billion trillion times over, even if he didnt just come back. No matter the anguish and the pain he persists. He does not submit to anything.

[@blue_ridge_shooting762]

Vulkan lives. He's my personal favorite primarch with Magnus being a close second.

[@theodoremccarthy4438]

There are greater Primarchs, but Vulcan is hugely significant. It's been revealed that all the other Primarchs, though long lived, are mortal. Vulcan, as a perpetual, stands as the Emperor's true heir. He was made to be an eternal protector for mankind. He's not the greatest yet, but in the fullness of time he may prove himself to be so.

[@pitchforksdragon1252]

Finally the greatest Primarch!

[@haveaknifeday]

I’ve been a dedicated DA player since the beginning but Vulcan lives is why he is the greatest Primarch.

[@benparkin3937]

As soon as I found out about Vulkan he became my favorite and the more I learn about him that opinion is further solidified.

[@tibbydudeza]

Under rated legion … gave as good as it got like the Death Guard and Iron Warriors against a underground techno barbarian warlord using DAOT tech Think only 20 percent of the legion survived after this single action

[@fedupN]

And most importantly, neither Primarch nor Legion allowed this hardship to turnd then into bitter monsters like the IVth.

[@tibbydudeza]

I searched and found it - "Assault of the Tempest Galleries" when they were still a prototype legion (the so called trefoil - along with the Space Wolves+Alpha Legion) called the Dragon Warriors.

[@PhilosoShysGameChannel]

It's about time ya got to the TRUE best primarch! XD Thanks for getting to the Imperial Master of Hugs And Family! XD

[@tribuneofmercy6184]

When I first got into 40k, I chose Salamanders as my chapter because of their loyalty to protecting mankind. Though, I have to say I wish Vulkan wasn't dying all the time. I know he's a perpetual, but it must be rough for his Chapter's cohesion always disappearing. I'm sure others don't feel the same way, and I can respect that.

[@trajanfidelis]

I can agree with this.

[@dark637]

Really enjoying the Primarch series you are doing. I was wondering if after you are done with the why they are the greatest if you could do a deep dive into each of the primarchs. Like 30min+ good bad and ugly of each of them.

[@MichaelWilson-dm4gz]

I love all the loyalist Primich's and even some of the traders. Purty and Magus, but out of all of them, even Sanguineous, Russ, the Con, and my favorite Corax, non are the equal to Vulkan. Vulkan is to me what all the others should have been modeled after. If the Primich's were to be the best of mankind and to be the saviors of them also, I think Vulkan is the pinnacle of those virtues. Had Horus been half the man Vulkan is, he would have kicked the shit out of the Logar, killed Erebus, then went to the Emp, got all his brothers and their legions in line and them went and kicked the shit out of the Chaos so called "gods". Had Vulkan been War Master, none of the last 10,000 years would be the same in my opinion.

[@dil09ful]

But the Emperor knew whoever he chose to be WarMaster would fall to chaos. Also Vulkan wouldn't have been a good decision to be WM.

[@frankunderwood8357]

Vulkan is very cool, but so is Sanguinius.

[@KratosisGod]

Its ironic that the primarch who is physically the most intimidating( the guy is more than 11 ft tall while most of others fall around 10 ft and has jet black skin with glowing red eyes) is the kindest among his brothers.

[@charliebrenton4421]

[@Teyl1]

Where is is specifically stated that the Emperor chose to make only Vulkan a perpetual? Is that actual lore or just something being said?

[@Adino1]

HELL YEAH HE IS

[@imperialtroop8885]

All goes back to the his founding, along with Leman Russ and the twins. They had a purpose after the crusade. Here’s my theory. Vulcan to be the defacto Lord regent of the Imperium and Guardian to the throne. Russ to to execute the other legions when Crusade when done….Thunder Warrior style. Alpha and Omega would then be the dominant chapter when it came to warfare, they were better after all.

[@SomeWhatPhilosophical]

Why would anyone even argue about Vulkan? He's the most wholesome of them all. Didn't he torch an eldar kid and later apologize for it? He's absolutely the most benevolent and human of the primarchs.

[@isawaryokage]

I still don't think the Emperor ever had the ability to create more perpetual sons. I think the Emperor got 20 souls from the Chaos gods in Molech, and these souls are what give the Primarchs their abilities. The Emperor waited until the 18th to feel confident enough to give the perpetual soul a primarch body.

[@baronvonslapnuts]

Why wouldn't the Emperor have made ALL of the Primarchs perpetuals?

[@guilherme5094]

The Primarchs are Warp entities (probably) united to a human body that has the Emperor's own DNA. They are like bosses in the game Megaman, they cannot have all the weapons, they would be too powerful.

[@chrisharley5781]

In case he no longer had need of them, or if they betrayed him, the Emperor had two primarchs killed for unspeakable reasons beyond the 18 or 19 primarchs we are aware of. Vulkan is unique among the primarchs in that he consistently maintains his virtues, regardless of the circumstances. Moreover, Vulkan's status as the largest of the primarchs suggests that perpetuality may require a particularly strong vessel. While his brothers may develop new abilities, Vulkan's primary trait will be his perpetuality, allowing him to outlive his siblings and continue to care for the Imperium until its very end. This is my best interpretation.

[@milesthanx6803]

[@CorbinHarrison1960]

I wonder if Vulkan and his sons would still be such advocates for the "mortals" of the Imperium if they knew the legions were only meant to be temporary just like the Thunder Warriors. I do think they would have been one of the few legions that would have chosen to gracefully sunset. But there is no knowing.
