    I'd say Magnus, partly because he's one of the more tragic figures (despite being somewhat derpily written on occasion), and I enjoy the Thousand Sons aesthetic.

    I've gone Curze. I like the idea of him being all about Right and Wrong and his own brand of justice.
    If he had landed on a more civilized world he could have learned to be an awesome cop like TJ Hooker, but instead ends up on a planet of criminals and learns to be evil.
    He is so Chaosy but is so anti authority that he wont follow them either.
    I'm really looking forward to the model of him aswell.

    Lorgar for his story is the most tragic. A fall from grace, only wanting to best by worshipping his father as a god only fall to the most basic of human traits: jealousy. Thus stumbling upon Chaos and only to be pushed farther into ruin by his adopted father Kor Phaeron.
    Besides with him we wouldn't have had the heresy

    I went with Mortarion, there's just something about him and the Deathguard that's really appealing to me over the rest. I can't put my finger on it but it's there. I have more than a little interest in some of the other traitor primarchs too. Angron, Magnus and Perturbo are easily up there but for me every time I think about doing a pre-heresy army. The Deathguard always grab my attention most. As for Morty himself. His described appearance just embodies death itself, with his "man reaper" and "the lantern", hooded robes over his armour. He's the bloody grim reaper. If drimdarks what your looking for in 40k, this guy has it in spades.

    Where's the 'death to the traitor scum' option?

    I appreciate the tragedy of Magnus's story. He wanted to be loyal, but he was entangled by powers beyond his comprehension and dragged kicking and screaming into daemonhood... I like it.

    very close between Magnus, Perturabo and Alpharius - the first two mainly because of their character and tragic story, Alpharius because I find it incredibly amusing to imagine him sneaking around in his own legion, with only his twin (maybe) knowing where he's at and also because of the entire concept of the Alpha Legion maybe still being loyal to mankind, if not the Imperium

    I go with Mortarion, who's got double daddy issues with the Emperor and the Overlord of Barbaros, but deep down is a softy homesick kid who remade his daemon world in the Eye in the spitting image of Barbaros.

    I bet he keeps a weepy (and Nurgly) diary...

    Maybe a little biased (being my legion and all)....but Lorgar wins.

    Lets face it Horus is just the front man of the traitors. Lorgar (and Erebus) orchastrated the ENTIRE thing really. PLus hes usually written in BL by ADB, who's the best you could ask for.

    Magnus does come a close second. The tragedy of his legions fall is brilliant.

    PLus they're both Academics and Statesman which appeal to me more than the warrior
