GreyCrow Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Another stupid question from me, but I was wondering : All of the Primarchs are serious and intense, and I wanted to know according to you which one was the most casual ? Not as in the least invested in the Great Crusade, but every Primarch I've read about is super intense about things and I was wondering if you knew any that was a bit more casual and playful than the other ones ? Cheers ! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321152-trick-question-which-primarch-is-the-most-casual/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Russ, I would say. Horus was also fairly laid back, what with the Mournival before he was tainted. Vulkan, I'd say as well. Sangy, maybe?

Charlo Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Horus I'd say, maybe joint with Russ but as opposite sides of the same coin. I love Horus' portrayal in the first Heresy book. He's all smooth and knowledgable without ever seeming full of himself. Whereas Russ is pretty happy go lucky and drinking and rioting.

Hummous Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Jaghatai was quite un -serious, "by the time I kill, I am always laughing" he also encouraged his warriors to pursue things outside war, like poetry, calligraphy and hunting (but that's not unique to him, I think Magnus did the same as well as fulgrim to some extent) If you read scars, he basically sees through all the other primarch's BS and even the emperors I'd agree on Russ too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321152-trick-question-which-primarch-is-the-most-casual/#findComment-4355418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 If you think Russ isn't serious you haven't read Wolf King. Don't forget that the whole 'Barbarian King' persona is just that, a persona. He is incredibly serious and focussed.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm not sure this is an answerable question. We haven't got the chance to see the Primarchs outside of a war footing.

Quixus Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'd say Russ and Jaghatai. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321152-trick-question-which-primarch-is-the-most-casual/#findComment-4355634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I was thinking Horus...he is portrayed super laid back in the first book, joking around and such.

Iduddy Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Pre-Fall Fulgrim had encouraged the Legion to take in the arts and other forms of high culture. It was to allow the legionaries to be a more complete person.

Brother Pheidias Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'd say Russ and Jaghatai. Jaghatai was quite un -serious, "by the time I kill, I am always laughing" he also encouraged his warriors to pursue things outside war, like poetry, calligraphy and hunting (but that's not unique to him, I think Magnus did the same as well as fulgrim to some extent) If you read scars, he basically sees through all the other primarch's BS and even the emperors I'd agree on Russ too I'd actually counter that Jhagatai hardly seemed casual, and that the quote actually meant that he'd be deeply passionate about every combat, and most likely coming off as deeply intense and serious to most, bordering on inapproachable to most, as he is mostly shown feeling rather disjointed from the broader Imperial culture and customary behaviour. The "extracurricular" activities doesn't strike me as overly casual, more as striving for excellence in every aspect of life. I'd hazard that there's some stoic confusianism engendered there by the authors. That's not to say that he might well have been casual, but I'd suspect it'd be kept to a close circle of his confidantes, mainly other Chogoris-bred Astartes. I'd agree that Vulkan, Russ and perhaps Sanguinius might be the more approachable Primarchs, possibly with Lorgar and Magnus close behind, at least where their own legions were concerned.

IronDrake28 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'd go with Vulkan. He's a bro. Even if his fist bump breaks your arm/body.

CaptainStabby Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Casual Friday at The Fang is pretty sweet though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321152-trick-question-which-primarch-is-the-most-casual/#findComment-4355984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sanguinius is pretty chill at times, from what I've seen. His little bits in Horus Rising involve him laughing and lobbing apples at Horus' face after all.
