Horus gets stabbed by a chaos sword: falls the chaos.

Guiliman gets stabbed by a chaos sword: punches the guy's heart out.

I think we can easily describe Horus' corruption as a "skill issue" then

[hegaliandialectics]

Roboute will never die as long as there are horrifically mismanaged logistic trains to fix.

[Swarm]

Robby G, Avenging son, taxman extraordinaire, 5d chess personified, and clapper of Eldar cheeks, truly and inspiration to us all.

[Kobold]

Man, that's telling. Gilliman thought so little of Lorgar, that mid betrayal, he just sighed and believed him an idiot.

[navianotheking]

Reminder that, despite a good part of the imperium rejects him, the inquisition doubts him, his father saying he was only a tool and insinuating that his love and pride is only conditional...

He cares about humanity and loves us. #ILoveYouSmurffDad

Everyone else that gets vented into space: dies.
Meanwhile Roboute, "Oh boy it's punching time".

[Joseph-mwrl]

Lorgar: attacks guilliman
Guilliman: Ahh it's just lorgar being a dumbass again
Lorgar: I have joined chaos
Guilliman: *by the emperor i managed to underestimate how dumb he was*

Reboot Gillman: his hair may have started greying and his face wrinkling over the sheer stress of running the Imperium, but he's the Primarch the Imperium badly needed.

[mikeylejan]

Roboute is the type of guy that is given a good life but never brags about it, made good use of it and is doing everything to be better

[brandonvallier]

In the book him showing back up later in space killing word bearers with his hands and covered in frost from the cold was amazing.

[jamesnorman]

I appreciate the fact that when a loyalist Primarch finally returned to the current timeline, they were horrified with what the Imperium had become. But that's hardly surprising considering what it was like ten thousand years before.

Also, I know it's a common theme in the 40K theatre to take the piss out of Guilliman and the Ultramarines every chance you get, but 'Know No Fear' and a couple other novels make it clear that Guilliman was perfectly capable of being a vengeful, blood-stained rage monster when the time called for it. Case in point, when he's on the exterior hull of a star ship - helmetless - taking apart Word Bearers with his bare hands.

In fact, the cover image of Know No Fear where he's punching a Word Bearers head clean off is one of my favourite images from the whole 40K portfolio.

Before Guilliman could wear the new armor he had to be taken out of his stasis chamber. Calgar was there to hear Guilliman's final breath as a xenos, a daemon and a human abomination were scrambling to take him out. He felt unparalleled despair and anger at that point

[TheLastRaven]

Truly worthy of adding to the chapter reliquery. Blood Ravens prepare to claim him as our own

[TheMightyMuch]

Who would have thought between the super powers the Primarchs wielded between immortality, psychic abilities, mastery of combat and so on, the best would be project management lmao.

[SammehEatWorld]

Honestly, he kinda deserves the plot armor. Just look at what he's stacked up against

[samedwards]

Honestly I’ve got a soft spot for modern Guilliman, he brings an interesting perspective to 40k. While also letting us answer the question: what if we gave a near-immortal hyper intelligent super soldier who’s first love is everything working well gigadepression?

Vulcan laughs in Jamaican

[varun]

The lion was the warrior, the angel was the people's hero and guilliman was the general. Without guilliman, the imperium would be ENTIRELY grim dark.

[InquisitorXarius]

Gulliman is my favorite of the Primarchs, rivaled only by Perturabo in my heart.

[derekmay]

The bugs are the biggest concern. It’s gonna take all of them combing forces for a bit. Even the necrons are worried about them.
