Regem Nox Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 I would say the Deathshroud as their anonymity and small number(2) hints at them being very elite.

Captain Tezdal Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Angron's Devourers, just an epic name, and like most things in 40k the more epic it sounds, the more epic it is.

Hrolleif Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Personally I'm partial to the Sanguinary Guard. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/#findComment-2750348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d@n Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Say what you like about the other legions but there all dead and bjorn the fell handed is still around kicking ass and taking names, so my vote would go to wolfguard.

Olis Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 This is all going to come down to a matter of opinion, at best. It would have been better to ask which group exemplifies their bodyguard role the best, or something, but even then, that's a hazy question. Irregardless, I'm leaning toward the Scarab Occult, what with their sorcerous powers alloyed with their elite fighting abilities, imho. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/#findComment-2750643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perrin Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Justaerian maybe? Only because the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus were the elite legion before the Heresy.

Olis Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Surprised nobody went with the obvious, Alpharius and the entire Alpha Legion :) Not exactly bodyguards, are they? Body-doubles though, yes. They're a legion full of red herrings and a leader masquerading as a herring. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/#findComment-2750764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've said, I've noticed alot of vs threads when I normally glaze over most of them. I do think there are too many of these, it's just poor men's polls and B&C doesn't allow proper ones. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/#findComment-2751015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Caerolion Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The only answer ever is "whichever one features in the current story, and needs to do X to advance the plot/look cool". 40k is a mass of contradictory sources, so the only purpose these threads serve is to act as an e-peen measuring competition, with everyone going "The bodyguard of Primarch X is best, because of Y!", only to be responded to with "Nah-ah! In book A, the bodyguard of Primarch B did C and D, which obviously makes them superior to X!" "Nah-ah! In book T, X did K, which makes them even better than B and all the rest combined!" Questions like these are so subjective that trying to answer them is pointless. Can we please stop these versus threads? They accomplish nothing but pointless boasting. They are the scourge of forums, better only than first-ers and trolls.

They accomplish nothing but pointless boasting. They are the scourge of forums, better only than first-ers and trolls. I haven't seen a firster on here since, well, forever. But that's irrelevant. I second the point made by Caerolion. This is point scoring, essentially, not a reasoned discussion or debate. (Yes, I do realise the hypocrisy of having contributed and condemned, but my first post goes along these lines anyway, so, whatever.)

Corsair Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 My vote goes to the Cerulean Pantalooned Uberguard, a group so elite and secretive that GW won't even admit that they single-handedly slew Horus AND Emperor Tim, so that they could install a new Emperor named R- *gunfire* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/#findComment-2751518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codicier Lucion Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 They're all pretty much exactly the same. What he said. We also don't have enough information on all of them yet. We know about quite a few but the Raven Guard's and Salamander's bodyguards have only been given background mentions, we know nothing of the Iron Warriors or Night Lords ones and little about those in the Ultramarines save for that they exist. At this point in time however, I would say the Iron Hands Morlocks. Due to the fact they managed to fight their way non stop through the traitor's ranks in the battle which claimed the life of Ferrus Manus and it took noise marines on steroids to bring them all down, they seem to be the ones to display the most skill thus far. I'm sure more or less any of the bodyguards would have been able to do the same thing, if using somewhat different tactics.
