Epistolary Exander Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I would argue that if the Emperor is classed as a primarch, then surely the Legio Custodes would be the best bodygaurd corps :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/page/2/#findComment-2751857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodMC Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 if the Emperor is classed as a primarch But he isn't, he's classed as the Emperor. Why would he be classed as a Primarch? The Custodians are bred through a separate process that requires no gene-seed, and each one is made from separate DNA sources, thus they share no brotherly link. Anyway, I'd like to echo the sentiment that the best bodyguard is the one featuring in the book you're reading.

Brother Nihm Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Kurze didn't have or need a bodyguard. Strongest elite soldiers in battle though? Khârn and crew.

Or maybe its an Alpha Legion ploy to lul the Imperium into a false sense of security... Mwah-ha-ha-ha.....! But seriously - they're all the same.

torgaddon666 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yes Karskay was a good remembrancer, and an alcoholic but that didn't stop a bullet going through his head. Sindermann on the other hand brilliant remembrancer/mentor to Loken, I vote Sindermann because he almost killed Maggard the mute bastard. Greatest bodyguard anything but the smurfs.

torgaddon666 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Mournival were more of a council to Horus.

quiethood Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 So the question should be amended, if they are all the same, which I agree with. Instead of saying which is the "greatest Primarch bodyguards", it should be who has the most strikingly brilliant (insert adjective of ones own choosing) bunch of elite guys who like to look at their Primarchs arse all day? But on a more serious note, the greatest bodyguards would totally have to be ones of the missing legions. They are so butt kickingly awesome the imperium won't even mention them or seem to find them... Obviously no one screws with that level of win. They are so cool they could eat necrons and pooped out nids.

NemFX Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Okay, so far we have: Angron's Devourers Horus's Mournival Night Haunters's Fulgrim's Phoenix Guard Ferrus Manus's guys, who's name I can't recall at the moment. Roboute Guilliman's Honour Guard Sanguinius's Sanguinary Guard Leman Russ's Wolfguard Magnus's Scarab Occult Alpharius's Effrit Stealth Squad Mortarion's Death Shroud Vulkan's Pyre Guard But my vote? Probably Fulgrim's guys. The Phoenix Guard. Why, you ask? Because his bodyguards killed all of Ferrus Manus's bodyguards.

Stand around, watch him get killed, chase the assassin, and then two of them pop up 10000 years later and have an inconclusive fight. Most of the bodyguard units don't even have names yet.

Weren't the Phoenix Guard the guys that were getting killed left and right the whole book other than the blindsiding of the Morlock's? I think they were the ones that had an entire unit of them wiped out by a Wraithlord.

MadDoc Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Okay, so far we have: Angron's Devourers Horus's Mournival The Mournival are a cadre of four senior Captains that act as Horus' advisors and, to a lesser degree, his conscience. The Sons of Horus 1st Company Elite are the Justaerin. Night Haunters's I haven't had a chance to read Savage Weapons yet, would someone who has, or better still A D-B himself :D, be able to shed any light on whether Curze or the Lion's bodyguard units are named? Fulgrim's Phoenix GuardFerrus Manus's guys, who's name I can't recall at the moment. The Morlocks Roboute Guilliman's Honour GuardSanguinius's Sanguinary Guard Leman Russ's Wolfguard Magnus's Scarab Occult Alpharius's Effrit Stealth Squad Mortarion's Death Shroud Vulkan's Pyre Guard You forgot Dorn's Templars.

NemFX Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Night Haunter's guys do have a title, I just cant remember it. Thought by leaving it blank it'd jog my memory. Named ones: Talonmaster Zso Sahaal Axemaster Krieg Acerbus Also, the best remembrancer was the sculpture guy from the book Fulgrim. Lifesized perfectly sculpted statue of the Emperor, in pure white marble from the Imperial Palace itself, that managed to somehow hold the entire universe in his eyes. I imagine the detailing must have been hell on that last part.
