I currently own 4 of the Primarch figures.

My subjective ranking of them in terms of them as figures, not by the character's lore:

1. Lion El'Johnson - Sword, Shield and Gun, plus a range of head sculp options. Aside from additional shading, and correcting the typo on the sword sheath, I don't think the figure needed anything else. Struggling to decide which head to use between the armoured helm, or the helm covered by the hood - both are excellent.
2. Guilliman - Whilst he comes with a relatively sparse amount of accessories. I like the design of his armour a lot, which puts him above Leman Russ. I would have like an alternative head sculpt. If they wanted to impress, a deactivated version of the sword held a status field pedestal.
3. Leman Russ - Objectively a better figure then Guilliman in terms of accessories, but lacks an armoured helm.
4. Rogal Dorn - The lack of shading against the all gold look makes him look more cheap then the other primarchs. Also lacks a helm, which would have been a great addition.

I would recommend all four as figures to anyone's collection, as they really stand out among the space marines, however, Dorn would be the lowest priority.

How would you rank the Primarch figures you own?

Favourite:

40k Ultra Marines: The Blue and gold so well. Also, the purity seals go really well with their colours.

Honourable mention: 40k Grey Knights. They have so much attached to their armour that gives them a unique look.

Worst:

HH/40k Salamanders. Not a fan of the shade of green. Also dislike their chapter's logo.

Space Marines are great - but I would love a Rogue Trader set:

• Abelard Werserian - Seneschal (Former Imperial Navy Officer)
• Argenta - Sister of Battle (Adepta Sororitas)
• Cassia Orsellio - Navigator
• Idira Tlass - Unsanctioned Psyker
• Pasqal Haneumann - Tech-Priest (Adeptus Mechanicus)
• Heinrix van Calox - Interrogator (Sanctioned Psyker / Inquisition)
• Jae Heydari - Cold Trader (Smuggler)
• Yrliet Lanaevra - Asuryani Ranger (Aeldari)
• Ulfar - Space Wolf Space Marine (Adeptus Astartes)
• Marazhai Aeonshade - Drukhari Dracon (Dark Eldar)

I know it will probably not happen, but a man can dream.

If you take into account the feats achieved through of the 3 DLC for Rogue Trader:

How would you scale of the Rogue Trader and their Retinue against existing forces / being in the 40k verse?

Also, would these feats even be remotely achievable for a team like this:

For those who haven't played the game, the Rogue Trader's retinue consists of:

Inquisitor Acolyte who is Sanctioned Psyker (Biomancer)

Drukhari Kabalite warrior (Former Archon)

Eldar Ranger

Arbitrator

Space Marine (Space Wolve Chapter)

Death Cult Assassin

Unsanctioned Psyker (Diviner)

Cold Trader

Tech-Priest Magos

Sister of Battle

Genetor Extremis Tech-Priest

Former Imperial Navy Officer
