Setting the Stage
First, Iβm going to establish the structure for this list. Weβll start with a quick overview. No explanation needed, but first up is Fulgrim, whom Iβm placing straight into the C tier. He suffers from the fact that his Legion was much cooler before he fell. Additionally, heβs aligned with the worst Chaos God, Slaanesh, who is frankly the least impressive of them all. There are three others that are far more interesting.

Reviewing the Primarks: Fulgrim
Next up is Sanguinius, whom Iβm also assigning to C tier. Personally, I find the angel to be a bit dull. To be honest, Iβve never been that into the Blood Angels. Theyβre okay, but just thatβokay. The only part of Sanguinius I truly enjoy is his interaction with Kaβbandha. Their battles are incredibly intense. However, overall, he comes across as a less impressive version of Conrad Kurze.
Reviewing the Primarks: The Lion
Lastly, we have the Lion, and Iβm placing him into C tier as well. While he has his merits, he doesnβt quite stand out enough to earn a higher rank in this particular list.
Alpharius and His Role
I love his Legion. His Legion is incredibly cool; however, he himself is just kind of there. Thatβs the essence of his presenceβhe just hangs around. Heβs a great duelist, donβt get me wrong. His fights are really entertaining, but itβs always his brothers who steal the show. This is similar to how Conrad Kurze often overshadows him in some scenes.
Russ vs Alpharius: A Memorable Fight
One exception Iβll make is his fight with Russβthat was an amazing battle. Moving on, letβs talk about Ferrus Manus. Now, Angron deserves a solid B tier. His history is truly tragic, and of all the Chaos Primarchs, heβs probably the least to blame for his actions. Cursed from the start, his anger is almost justified.
Angron: A Tragic and Powerful Primarch
Who doesnβt enjoy a bit of rampaging Angron? I like him for the same reasons I enjoy Doomβitβs like watching a giant Doom guy in action. Also, Khorne is great, not my favorite Chaos God, but definitely high up there. Heβs not the top, but heβs close.
Lorgar and His Legion
Lorgar goes straight into D-tier. As I mentioned before, I despise this guy. But I respect his drive. His Legion has some similar qualities. Heβs one of those characters where I think, βI hate you, but I respect your grind.β I used to think Perturabo was the man-child of the 40K lore, but Lorgar really takes the cake.
Alpharius: The Trickster Primarch
Iβm placing Alpharius into B tier, right next to Angron. Heβs a fascinating characterβtricky and complicated, especially with the whole situation between him and Omegon. Honestly, itβs hard to tell whatβs really going on there. His Primarch book is outstanding, though, which would put him higher on the list if not for the fact that he humiliated the Custodians back on Terra. Constantine Valdor probably let him win, but still, this is an unbiased tier list, after all.
Conrad Kurze: The Dark Genius
Conrad Kurze goes straight into S tier. He has the perfect Primarch book and an amazing story. Everything about him is fascinating, though heβs absolutely insane. Granted, he commits some of the most depraved and horrifying acts in 40K, but considering his backstory, can we really blame him? Maybe weβve been too hard on Conrad. We should acknowledge that heβs one of the best Primarchs, despite his madness.
Leman Russ: The Emperorβs Executioner
Leman Russ earns his place in A tier. Heβs a big-time badass, and I have a soft spot for the more imposing Primarchs. While many are the quiet, brooding types, Russ stands out because heβs vocal about how awesome he is. Plus, his role as the Emperorβs Executioner is legendary. Sure, roughing up Magnus wasnβt his finest moment, but overall, who doesnβt love a giant space Viking charging into battle?
Jaghatai Khan: The Smack-Talking Duelist
Another easy S tier is Jaghatai Khan. This guy is the coolestβone of the greatest duelists and the absolute best when it comes to delivering smack talk.

Jaghatai Khan: The Verbal Duelist
If youβre looking for some entertaining brotherly banter, check out Jaghatai Khanβs conversations with Fulgrim or Mortarion. He verbally dismantles them and could probably take them down in a fight, as he does to Mortarion. His cleverness shines through, and his Legion is phenomenal. Who wouldnβt love the concept of Space Marines on jet bikes? Itβs incredibly cool.
Roboute Guilliman: The Dull Strategist
No surprises here, but everyoneβs favorite boy scout, Roboute Guilliman, goes straight into D tier. When it comes down to it, Dorn is the more exciting tactical Primarch. Sure, if you like Roman history, you might be a fan of the Ultramarines. I even suspect that if you play a lot of 4X games, you probably like Guilliman, since he seems like the type to have a multi-thousand hour save in Europa Universalis. But overall, heβs just boring. The only thing keeping him from being lower is his Ultra Depression form in current 40K. The manβs got a rough life.
Mortarion: A Mixed Bag
Mortarion lands in C tier. What elevates him above D is his presence in the early Horus Heresy books. Heβs charismatic when he wants to be, and I enjoyed his appearances. But, when heβs not being cool, he comes off as a bit of a whiny man-child. Another thing keeping him from moving into B tier is that heβs the bane of my existence on the tabletop. I absolutely hate Death Guard and Mortarion.
