He does certainly have the strongest lasting legacy out of most of his brothers.

Everyone lost in the Horus Heresy.
Everyone except Lorgar, he won.

If I could have saved just one, it would have been Lorgar - Malcador

[codysing]

"Rejoice, for I bring glorious news... God walks among us"
-The first words of the Lectitio Divinitatus

[SemNome-dsqy]

The Primarch who fought the battle of any of his brothers never fought, the battle for the heart and mind of mannkind.

One of my favorite parts of the First Heretic is when Chaos is showing Baby Lorgar in the warp, visibly uncomfortable because he spent already too much time there. Like Chaos was speaking to him more than any other Even in his birthing pod.
Helps explain why he just knew there was something more.

Even though I know it's part of the series, the title of this one made me want to report to my local Inquisitor.

The emperor's conflict with lorger is the biggest irony.

All he had to do was distinguish worship from simple faith

[ditmarvanbelle]

All your points are valid. Plus: He was brave enough to change his beliefs to conform to reality, rather than blindly following the path laid out before him. He could doubt, he could love, he fought when needed but prefered peace when possible. He was kind and compassionate; a good man all around.

Clearly the greatest!

"Hehehe...I'll hear you out". One of those videos in the series

[charliebrenton]

Alright, My Guy. I haven’t watched yet, but you gonna have to back that thumbnail up! Lorgar?!?
Edit: I see. It’s a series. I been gone too long, Old Boy! Good to be back!
Edit Edit: Wow. You DID back it up. Great stuff!

Lorgar: ‘One wonders if you are capable of making anything that creates, rather than destroys.’

Ferrus ‘One wonders if you are capable of creating anything worthwhile at all.’

My favorite Primark, and legion Word Bears. Love their lore and Anthony Reynolds captured them beautifully in his dark apostle trilogy!

[LazzaRuss]

Trouble is with everything Lorgar did it was countered by everything Lorgar did.

[malb.]

"The Imperial Truth" demanded that he punish Monarchia. Whether he was right or not, in his mind this was the greatest risk to his plan thus far. To throw his gamble completely out the window.
It was also an incredibly badass scene that I'll never forget. When Lorgar is saying, "No, no .." like he can prevent whats about to happen.

[DeadtotheworldProductions]

The hate Lorgar gets is unreal for no valid reason. Now the people who hate him usually have a fetish for the Black Templars who are basically loyalist Word Bearers without the intelligence or charisma of the Word Bearers. Lorgar wasn't the best fighter, who cares? He went 1v1 against the strongest Bloodthirster and at the end chose to give the demon a sermon. How awesome is that?
People tend to forget that when Lorgar chose to conquer worlds, the speed at which he did it wasn't matched even by the World Eaters. By Kharn's own words "Even outnumbered they would bleed us"

"oh but he started the Horus heresy and turned to Chaos" As well he should. For his unquestioning loyalty and impecable results he was punished and humiliated. The Emperor was a cold heartless fool playing favorites with unstable demigods. Oh you took planets slowly, sure Emperor, its way better to skin people alive and broadcast their screams across the planet or to devestate it with orbital bombardment and bolter fire to bring it into compliance or butcher a planet within 31 hours than to take your time and actually enlighten the people and have them join because they want to. Even today the worlds Lorgar took remain loyal.

The most powerful weapon in 40K is faith. And in spite of everything the imperium survives not because of the absent primarchs, but because of Lorgar's word. Also Atheism is literal cringe. "I will ward literal demons off with reason and logic and lie to my people and my sons" The Emperor was an absolute idiot.

Lorgar to the end.

[thatotherguy]

If Emps had told Lorgar the truth about Chaos, and brought Lorgar in on the plan to DENY them worship... man. Him and Magnus, working together to deny Chaos as much power from Humanity as possible...

But c'est Warhammer 40k - without the second worst possible paths being taken by the most powerful people at the time, there is no setting.

[blue_ridge_shooting]

You make a really interesting and compelling case for Lorgar here. Well done

[patrickwilliams]

Always great to see other people agreeing, the false emperor really did have it coming.
