Drac0 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 They're all pretty much exactly the same. They're all pretty much exactly the same. I will say this basic, tedious truth until the stars themselves are no more than cold, cold memories. If there is a right answer this is it. But for the sake of arguing and for the fun of it... Word bearers! The Gal Vorbak Personally my favourite are the IF Templars. But putting, preferences aside and choosing only from the other legions (while still saying that all are equal), I have to say that the Gal Vorbak ended up with an impressive record sheet.

I am the Stig Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I thought the Night Lord elite were called the Atramentar. That's an elite formation of the 10th company; it's never mentioned whether the rest of the legion used the denomonation. And I think I must argue with everyone voting for the Deathshroud-they were only two men, and always brought straight up from the ranks of the 'ordinary' warriors. A match for most other Astartes, probably, but if they went up against another bodyguard formation such as the Scarab Occult or Devourers I think they would go down pretty fast. But as Mr Bowden said, they are all roughly equal. Otherwise could you imagine the arguments? "But...but Dad! Alpharius' bodyguards are better than mine! Why does he get all the cool stuff, I'm older!" "Because I say so, Horus." "*Sniff* You hate me, don't you Dad? You'd be happy if I just went and died? FINE! *Goes and joins Chaos. In a sulk.*" @NemFX: only because he told them to. And Soul Hunter (as in the character) kind of made up for it.

fenhold Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I agree with A D-B. Every legion seems to have THE finest swordsman in the galaxy. But I will say it's probably not the ones from the II and XI legion.They seemed to have done a poor job.

torgaddon666 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I think it's either the Sanguinary Guard or Lion's personal bodyguards. Anyone know who they are?

Brother Nihm Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Allow me to repeat myself, Kurze didn't have or need a bodyguard. He doesn't strike me as a being who would want one either, given his 'upbringing' and early life.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Whilst they are all equal roughly, I think the Ultramarines and Space wolves, just because of 2 charecters. Bjorn the fell handed and Tetrarch Nicodemus. both are complete baddass in their apperances, and Bjorn, is well Bjorn as well, even in a dreadnought, it's an impressive feat for him to survive to the 40k period.

Billuriye Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Meh, those two aren't anything special compared other elites and they don't render their cadre more superior.

Walter Payton Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 This thread has become pointless, to such a degree that I feel justified in pulling out the quotation of doom: "The Ultramarines are the greatest of all Space Marine Chapters." - Games Workshop.

Perrin Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The Atramenter are the Night Lords elite i think. Im sure AD-B will come and correct me, leaving me very red-faced :cuss Reasons for me thinking this, in Blood Reaver two of them are seen in a flash back guarding the personal chambers of Konrad Curze, like bodyguards would do. Also a tech-priest refers to one of them as Astartes Distinctus-One-Ten/Previous-One, meaning the company number, so first company elite. Dno if this makes them the Night Haunters personal guard but they are the elite of the legion.

Warsmith IV Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Obviously I would hate to disagree with A D-B... BUT whilst they may all have been pretty much the same I think there is one huge exception... Alpharius. His bodyguard is Omegon. Somewhat mor eliterally than others. If Alpharius is killed he basically carries on as Omegon, no other Primarch had this wonderfully convenient facility. Having another Primarch as your bodyguard has got to win right?

Firepower Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 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. Sounds like an easy thing to cheat on actually. No one has the cajones to look the Emperor in the eyes, even in statue form. So, no one to check his work. ^_^ No one will produce an argument that solidly puts one bodyguard above all the rest, as has been stated ad nauseum. However, we can say which ones weren't the best. If your primarch is dead, you're out of the running. You have by definition failed at your job :) Also, I thought Sindermann was an iterator, not a remembrancer... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/page/3/#findComment-2782806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justcar Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Their is only one way to test which is better, one in a contest of arms against the other... If you allowed the scarab occult into the fight, I have to argue that the other guys would not get close enough to put a scratch on them (psychic powers, what are you going to do?) Also, (correct me if I am wrong, but the SO numbered around 1000 (1st company)) their are a lot more of them so they would have a numerical advantage. AND, even if it was a fight between two evenly numbered groups of bodyguards, the SO would kill them with their psychic powers (the sekhmet did tear through space wolves like butter once they unleashed their psyonic abilities) BUT... it is just a matter of opinion, and that is mine :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229238-greatest-primarch-bodyguards/page/3/#findComment-2812229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 13th Goat Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 They're all pretty much exactly the same. That is possibly the biggest cop out ever!

Guest mc wazzahamma Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 As far as I recall, most have been written in a fairly offhand manner. Barely developed as characters and easily easily dispatched in order to show the uberness of whatever enemy they face.

Arkangilos Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you all think tihs thread is pointless, stop getting on and reading it, I mean, seriously, if it annoys you, just "change the channel." I think the Sanguinary Guard are the superior ones, I mean, look at Azkaellon, he's rumored to still be kicking and killing the enemy. :ph34r: And please, lets not turn this into a ward-hate thread.

Paradill Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Lets end this now, it's a silly argument. Everyone knows that the Jaghatai Khan had centaurs with unicorn horns protecting him. Each was ridden by a different Harry Potter character and wore Mega Nobz as body armour.. That's why he was the only one with enough balls to charge out from the Imperial Palace during the siege.. Also, why does it matter? As of M32 or so they either all failed or were all rendered useless on account of their masters being immortal demons..

Arkangilos Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Because we find it interesting to know what peoples opinions are? It's an opinionative subject, which means that we all give our opinions on who we think is best. It doesn't matter.
