18 heroes in 18 novels across four years
The superhuman sons of the Emperor are more than just demi-gods of battle. They're also fascinating, complex characters... and soon you'll be able to read a whole lot more about them.
Fix'd!
Fix'd x2
That assumes Vulkan is actually in the book.
No! Dan Abnett doesn't get the Alpha Legion, not the way Rob Sanders does. Sanders is the only author I will accept for the Sons of the Hydra.
Also no! French just had Perturabo as the Angry Marine Primarch, randomly crippling a marine who gave him bad news and just being ANGRY!!! all the time. McNeill gave us an incredible complex character who ultimately was a human man with great and beautiful dreams that nobody bothered to care about.
I'd say Abnett did them perfectly. Sanders followed on excellently from what Abnett created, but it was Abnett who made the Alpha Legion what they are now in the series. Well actually no, it was Abnett who made them excellent and interesting, Sanders who followed on Abnetts work very well, and then others who have turned them into overpowered moustache twirling douchebags.
What an odd thing to say
To be fair, Vulkan is the most boring of all the Primarchs. Nick Kyme can do whatever he pleases with the Primarch as long as he stays away from Konrad Curze.
Yes to me it sounds like a red herring.
Rob Saunders built a lot of the Alpha Legion from Dan Abnetts work, but I can agree that he is the only to date that have gotten the Legion right besides Dan. Either of them are fine by me.
McNeill gave a peaceful Perturabo who didn't care for any of this. Surely it would fit him during the Great Crusade, not in the Horus Heresy. He is supposed to be bitter, which is what I got from The Crimson Fist. Just justify that bitterness and you got a resentful great evil character. But then depending on when the story takes place, I can deal with McNeill taking on the character, like him during the Great Crusade years. If it's more HH, I would want French to do it.
