Fulgrim

Fulgrim in all his psychotic, bishōnen hawtness.

Fulgrim is the Primarch of the Emperor's Children traitor legion, a daemon prince, and an enormous hedonistic bitch.

Pre-heresy he was the HAWTEST goddamn ass hole in the galaxy; he was so hot, that his residual HAWTNESS made the rest of humanity the HAWTEST race in the galaxy. Therefore, all the ugly xenos had to fucking die for the crime of not being human and therefore HAWT. Fulgrim was also moody as all fuck, fucking crazy for drama and whimsy and was just the WORST guy to have show up at your party. One time he came to meet Perturabo to tell him he'd heard of some cool eldar weapons they could use to kill daddy. They met on a planet. And half way through the first fucking sentence, Fulgrim decided that this wouldn't do. No, he HAD to tell Perturabo in a magnificent amphitheater built into a meteor crater. Nothing else would do. No such amphitheater exists in the galaxy? No probs. Make the Iron Warriors build one. No crater on this planet AND no meteors available? Whelp better break out the explosives. Fulgrim broke out the deck chairs and refused to move until his brothers legion raised said theater. When he finally took the stage and began prancing around he'd dicked around for long enough that a covert ops Raven Guard dude had enough time to set up shop in the rafters and promptly shot the bitch through the head just as he got to the good part of the story. If Perturabo was anything other than a humourless emo fuckwad then he'd have felt some glee at seeing his time wasting but still conscious brother describing the experience of getting a nine inch spike of titanium stuck in his brain after spending ten minutes cackling hysterically at the wasted effort.

Despite all this, we should remember Fulgrim was a pretty cool guy before he fell to Chaos. He wasn't always prideful to a fault, and in fact many primarchs were his friends. Ferrus Manus and Horus were both very very close to Fulgrim, and Fulgrim was the only primarch Konrad Curze really trusted.

Also, we keep using the past tense because Fulgrim's present circumstances seem to change way faster than GW has ever moved any plot ever. He'd been a painting, a snake, a dude, possessed by a greater deamon and all kinds of shit. And fuck knows which if any of these actually were him, or just dickish Slaanesh demons taking the piss. No one knows fucking anything anymore.

For a while his soul was stuck in a painting. LOLWUT... and a greater daemon possessed his body and made him do some pretty fucked up things even by the standards of an Astartes following Slaanesh, which is saying a lot. Fulgrim has full control of his body again , or at least that's what he says. (Because Chaos has always been honest and trustworthy, amirite?)

Angron thinks that he's a prissy little faggot and regularly pays his daemonworld visits where he pummels Fulgrim's four armed snake ass into a bloody pulp and generally makes a mockery of Slaanesh in general. Or so Khorne fanboys would have you believe as they constantly rant on about how Angron "GETS SHIT DONE!" and conveniently ignore that whilst Fulgrim has slain not one but TWO FUCKING PRIMARCHS (well, one and a half), Angron's Primarch body count currently stands at ZERO (in fact he FAIL to kill one Fulgrim killed, Roboute Guilliman despite being a Daemon Primarch at the time and Roboute being tired from beating the shit out of Lorgar, able its implied Guilliman killed him too).

Anyway, Fulgrim is trapped crying in a painting while Angron's mind is his own. So, yes, Slaaneshi do indeed suck. Nevermind he got out! Also, he got fucked in the ass by a medieval torture instrument in the latest Black Library book. This is CANON! Not like he hadn't enjoyed it.

He is the second Primarch to receive his own miniature as part of Forge World's Character Series.

Youth

Like his brother Primarchs, the infant Fulgrim was abducted by the four Gods of Chaos, who weren't really into the whole Primarch thing. Also like his brother Primarchs, he was eventually thrown onto a planet of his own since the four Gods found out that raising infant Primarchs really wasn't worth the trouble, especially when you can get some other suckers to do it for you.

Fulgrim landed on the planet Chemos, whose people had been dependent on interstellar trade to make everything work. With the warpstorms caused by the birth of Slaanesh the planet didn't have the resources to sustain such a large population. Art, culture, and recreation were sacrificed to the need to survive. By the time baby Fulgrim landed, the planets resources had been so stretched that any orphan found was normally killed so as not to put further strain on the planets dwindling resources. Indeed, the scouts that found him during a storm debated the very thing as to whether or not they should kill the infant.

Unfortunately for the scout arguing for the death penalty, the infant Primarch was equipped with a little failsafe called adorable cuteness that made most people want to protect him. Those who found him named the infant Fulgrim in honor of one of the ancient gods of Chemos. He was raised in the family of one of them, and would go on to completely turn Chemos' fortunes around.

As all primarchs, Fulgrim grew up at an unnatural rate. He started off not as most Primarchs as a warrior, or a freedom fighter, or the object of worship of an entire clan, but as a laborer in one of Chemos' many factories. Once working he immediately showed talent in all things, improving machines to make them more efficient, working hours that would kill a normal human, and re discovering new technologies that had been lost since the Dark Age of Technology. He improved Chemos' infrastructure so much that people actually began to have time for other things, like art and recreation. And with Fulgrim came a will, a drive to rise up and become something other than drab factory workers. Perhaps the people of Chemos would never become great, but now they could reach for the stars.

It was then that the Emperor arrived. As soon as Fulgrim saw the Emperor he went on one knee and swore fealty. The Emperor then showed Fulgrim his Legion, now only 200 strong. It is said that upon seeing his sons arrayed before him, entire companies reduced to only one Astartes still proudly bearing their banner, Fulgrim knelt. He then rose and addressed his sons saying "You are the Emperor's chosen, his heralds, his warriors, his children, for this is only the beginning." And so even as the people of Chemos were born again from the ashes, so would the Third Legion Astartes forge for itself a new future under a new master.

Terra

Fulgrim the Illuminator, Primarch of the Emperor's Children.

Despite the Great Crusade being well underway, Fulgrim and the Emperor went back to Terra to reunite Fulgrim with his legion, why he didn't bring them along so they could get going is anybody’s guess. When they finally reached Terra, Fulgrim was introduced to his legion and discovered that some accident had reduced the gene-seeds of the III Legion to the point that only 200 remained. Without the Primarch, it had been a slow and laborious process of repairing the damage.

But never let it be said that Fulgrim didn't know how to bounce back from any hit, as he met his legion he made the customary speech to his legion and named them The Emperor's Children. The Emperor's already ginormous ego was pleased by this speech, so he allowed Fulgrim and his legion to use the symbol of the sign of the Aquila as their symbol. Never let it be said that the Emperor doesn't reward those who strokes his ego pleasingly. As all other Primarchs, his legion quickly gave him a nickname. Since Fulgrim in their eyes had risen their legion from the ashes, Fulgrim got the name the Phoenician. As all other Primarchs, his brothers had a nickname for him too; since Fulgrim liked to dress in one outlandish costume after another (to the point that Lady Gaga would ask him to tone it down some), they named him Peacock (this name would also be used to describe the nature of his legion when not in battle).

Just how long it took Fulgrim to get his legion back on track has been forgotten but Fulgrims Flagship was completed 160 years before the Horus Heresy, so he probably took some time as no Primarch wants to be seen dead without his flagship. Unfortunately for Fulgrim, The Emperor couldn't sit around and wait for Fulgrim to finish his work in bringing the Emperor's Children back to full strength, so Fulgrim's legion were merged with Horus's Luna Wolves until they were ready to go out on their own.

Among Fulgrims closest friends were Horus and Ferrus Manus, whom he nicknamed the Gorgon and whom he shared a closer friendship with than the rest of his brothers.

Their first meeting was on Terra beneath Mount Narodnya, the greatest forge of the Urals, where Ferrus Manus was busy toiling with the forge-masters who had once served the Terrawatt Clan during the Unification Wars soon after his arrival from Medusa. The Primarch of the Iron Hands had been demonstrating his phenomenal skill and the miraculous powers of his liquid metal hands when Fulgrim, the Primarch of the III Legion, the Emperor's Children, and his elite Phoenix Guard, had descended upon the sprawling forge complex. Neither Primarchs had met each other before, but when they meet each other they immediately felt a kinship, either that or the fact that each of them were 2.5 meters tall, one an albino the other with living metal all over his hands and that all artisans in the room immediately prostrated themselves in front of them, might have been a pretty HUGE clue. That said, Ferrus' conversations with Lorgar tended to run to about half a minute, so maybe there is something in that story.

When Ferrus Manus later told of what had happened beneath Mount Narodnya, he said that Fulgrim had come claiming that he had come to forge the most perfect weapon ever created for The Great Crusade. Ferrus Manus, ever prideful, could not let such boast go unchallenged (if he had been less prideful, he might have been a head taller than he is today, not to mention alive). Laughing in Fulgrims face, Ferrus Manus answered Fulgrims boast by declaring that such hands as Fulgrims could never forge anything.

Fulgrim accepted the challenge with "regal grace" and both Primarch stripped to the waist, making every female and male (who bent that way) artisan swoon in pleasure.

For three months the Primarchs worked unceasingly at the forge till at last their weapons where complete. Fulgrim had forged an exquisite warhammer -- Forgebreaker -- that could level a mountain with a single blow, and Ferrus Manus a golden bladed sword -- Fireblade -- that forever burned with the fire of the forge. Well never let it be said that both Primarchs didn't appreciate fine craftsmanship; Fulgrim declared that Fireblade equal of that borne by the legendary hero Nuada Silverhand and Ferrus sworn that only the mighty thunder gods of Nordyc legend were fit to bear such a magnificent warhammer. Without a word the two exchanged weapons, unknown at the time was the fact that Fulgrim would later use Forgebreaker to beat Ferrus to a bloody pulp when Ferrus stubbornly refused to join Horus's rebellion.

It was after the whole affair beneath Mount Nerodnya that Fulgrim came up with the Ferrus's nickname. Arriving at the Imperial Palace, Sanguinius of the Blood Angels had arrived bearing gifts from his home world of Baal. Exquisite statues from the glowing rock of Baal, priceless gem-stones and wondrous artifacts of aragonite, opal and tourmaline. The lord of the Blood Angels had brought enough to fill a dozen wings of the Palace with the greatest wonders imaginable (apparently Sanguinius tried to imitate Fulgrims trick of stroking the Emperor´s ego). Fulgrim was ecstatic of the wonders Sanguinius had brought, but Ferrus Manus having little time for such things declared that such frivolities was a waste of time when there was still a galaxy out there to conquer. Fulgrim answered this by saying that Ferrus was a terrible old Gorgon, the nickname stuck and word had it that Ferrus became rather fond of the Nickname (might have something to do with his own legion calling him the Medusan).

Fulgrim couldn't hang around Terra all day and having already been merged with the Luna Wolves, they set off on The Great Crusade.

Great Crusade

Fulgrim's quest for perfection began as a need to live up to the honors bestowed upon his legion; the only legion to bear the Emperor's own heraldry as its symbol. In his eyes they were a legion apart, set above their brothers by the Emperor's own hand. Indeed it is true that while the Emperor's Children perhaps could not practice attrition warfare as well as the Iron Warriors, or drop assault as well as the Blood Angels, or fleet engagements as well as the Imperial Fists, they could do all, and most importantly had within them the will and drive to become paragons in all things. Fulgrim saw in his children what the Emperor meant for space marines to be, not only experts at war and carnage, but noble, strong, and excelling in all matters. Because of this the Emperor's Children were noted to place an emphasis on artistic matters and physical appearance, values that to other Astartes seemed vainglorous. As the Great Crusade went on, Fulgrim's focus on perfection became an obsession. It began to alienated their fellow Astartes, as more egotistical legionaries like Eidolon ascended up the command chain. During one campaign, Horus came close to rebuking Fulgrim personally for the problems his officer caused.

Naturally, ugly-ass Mortarion hated Fulgrim and his vanity- seems he fantasised about Fulgrim's finery rotting away in the fumes of Barbarus. Jaghatai didn't have much time for Fulgrim's boasting about his swordsman either and told him "You have your prowess, but I would lead you choking on this." Later Fulgrim would've found this promise strangely arousing.

One incident of note was with the Primarch Konrad Curze of the Night Lords. Fulgrim tutored Curze and was the only primarch the Night Haunter really trusted or confided in. During one campaign alongside the Imperial Fists, Curze had one of the violent fits he was prone to, and Fulgrim rushed to his aid. Curze told him of visions he had of death at the hands of his father (the Emperor) and primarchs fighting one another. Fulgrim was deeply troubled by this, and decided to confide in Rogal Dorn, well known for his cool head and fairness.

Perhaps this was a mistake, and Dorn reacted badly to Curze's visions. Angered by the very idea that someone would have visions of the Emperor killing one of his sons, he confronted Curze. We don't know what he said to him, but we do know that it caused Curze to attack him and then flee. This little incident helped bring about the fall of the Night Lords legion, but how far it was Fulgrim, Dorn, or Curze's responsibility is up to interpretation.

Horus Heresy

During the heresy, Fulgrim tried to persuade Horus to stop his heresy, but then Horus somehow managed to coerce Fulgrim into joining him which some fa/tg/uys suspect that it was a promise of untold amounts of drugs and buttsecks. After he rebelled he killed Ferrus Manus, his bestest friend. Then the Daemon possessing his sword said sweet nothings into his ear promising he'd off Fulgrim and ease his pain.....A Sword, that talks to you in your head, is promising not to fuck you over. Riiiiight. Fulgrim gets his soul squashed, paintings get haunted, etc etc etc. (Or not? Black Library loves fucking with brains.)

On an interesting note, Horus promises to save his brother from his fate, which is insane since he just spent all day fucking over everyone else. (Horus, he crazy)

Then some kind of Evileeee-hee fucking Slaaneshi daemon took over his body and turned him into a giant painting (a giant painting painted with shit, blood, and rotting corpses) in a shitty old closet where Slaanesh stores his/her/its dildos. (He claims to have exorcised the daemon from himself, but was forced to admit that he was lying when Lorgar threatened to expose his posession to the other traitor Legions.) Since then he has broken free for real, and duped Perturabo into helping him become a Daemon Prince

Theeeeen he turned into a 4-armed snake wielding poisoned blades who has no personality whatsoever. Yeah, I don't quite understand that part either. (Horus Heresy updates are sure to come later.....as with everything else in this god damn article.)

Oh there's a bit more then just that... Fulgrim is like fucking retarded... he picks up a sword made by Xenos, which just whispers 24/7 "FUCK EVERYONE TO DEATH!!!" in his head all the time because of the fact that it was possessed by a Slaaneshi Greater Daemon, and Fulgrim is like "This is a completely normal sword that is not telling me to FUCK ALL YOU BITCHES TO DEATH!" and everyone believes him. Even after Elrad himself says the sword is fucking insane and is trying to make him like fuck himself and the whole galaxy to death, Fulgrim is like "NAH-Ah YOUR MOMA'S INSANE, BITCH!" And then right when the Heresy kicks off and Slaanesh starts fucking about in his body, Fulgrim is all like "I'M SOO FUCKING STUPID!!! AND I'M STUCK IN THIS PAINTING BECAUSE I'M A RETARD!".

NEVERMIND! He was only pretending to be retard ha-ha!

TL-DR: Fulgrim's sword fucked him in the ass; this makes him asinine, especially considering the fact that he used it to kill his best friend, a man who could punch weapons into existence with his bare (metal) hands.

Despite everything about him that screams "flaming homo" and/or "Anime Character", he did get shit done in the heresy/post-heresy killing two other Primarchs which is pretty badass. In fact, we all should be grateful he put Grand daddy smurf in stasis.

It is also quite ironic that he's supposed to be so beautiful. Because ful means ugly in swedish. And grim means ugly in danish.

Gameplay

	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Fulgrim:	8	6	6	6	6	8	5	10	2+/5++/3++ in CC

Fulgrim is very good at fighting both rank and file and HQ's due to his high initative (8) granting extra attacks and his good save in close combat. Also he is really fast thanks to Crusader and fleet, so he will have an easy time to reach combat. Fulgrim has some pretty good defense with 2+, 5++ (3++ in CC), primarch rule, T6/W6 and whenever he passes an armor or invulnerable save in CC on a 6 the enemy takes a blind test. For weapons he has a shredding volkite charger, which is ok, and the Sword of Laer, an AP2 and rending close combat weapon, wich is surpringly weak for a Primarch weapon, striking at S 6 and with only 5 attack base. But never fear, 'cause you can always upgrade him to carry Fireblade(at least for battles set during the Great Crusade) at no additional cost! Fireblade is a Master Crafted Paragon Blade that instant kills on to wound rolls of 5+, and is so much better than the Blade of the Laer it actually hurts, so always use it. With it Fulgrim can really step up and fight other Primarch without fear, like he should. On the supporting side, he is actually one of the best Primarchs: Sire of the Emperor's Children force him to challenge any opponents who has at least WS 5 (not a real downside, as you would love to challenge almost anyone due to his Sublime Swordsman rule) and also grants him Crusader, but more importantly gives to every units with Adeptus Astartes (Emperor's Children) on the table plus Fulgrim himself +2 to Combat Resolution, meaning easy victories from your units, that will almost certainly overrun the other side thanks to Crusader and their mostly superior initiative. Also, units with Adeptus Astartes (Emperor's Children) can Reroll their reserves roll, wheter succesful or not. Lastly, Strategic Plannig let him choose one warlord trait from either the Legion Warlord Traits or the Strategic Traits, making him able to adapt to his enemies and the situations he will face.

He should have also had access to the MURDER SWORD Anathame, but Forge World forgot he had it in the books, now the books have progressed far enough to know that Erebus took the sword back and smashed into eight daggers. There will probably never ever be rules for the original MURDER SWORD now.

Fulgrim VS other Primarchs:

Primarch fighting, while fun to see, isn't a very competitive thing to do as it'll usually tie up both Primarchs for the entire game without either of them dying. With that in mind this section is how Fulgrim fares against other Primarchs Mathhammer wise. Please note that all the various abilities are taken into accounts when possible and the match-ups assume the Primarchs are the only ones involved in the fighting, so various abilities like Angron's "The Butcher's Nails" and Rampage do not provide any bonuses. In essence, the fights are supposed to be in a "Vacuum" for simplicity, but notes are added to make things clearer in particular instances. Also all of the Primarch use their most powerful weapons (because why have a contest if you don't do your best?) so naturally Fulgrim will use Fireblade.

• Fulgrim VS Horus
  • Horus hits 3 times (Talon), wounds 2.667 times, 0.889 after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.555 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim hits 4 times, wounds 2.667 times, 0.889 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.555.
  • Apparently, a fair fight...but taking into account the -1 to WS and S from the Talon of Horus at the first wounds that Fulgrim will receive, the scale will decisivily tip in favor of Horus. Also he could use Worldbreaker to easily negate Fulgrim +2 attack for his initiative, but on the long term the Talon is more effective.

• Fulgrim VS Angron
  • Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 4.444 times, 1.48 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.148.
  • Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.111 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.778 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim hits 3.5 times, wounds 2.333 times (2.722 times if his warlord trait is Child of Terra), 1.166 (1.361) times after saves, 1.069 (1.248) after Feel No Pain (remember that half of the attacks that wound cause Instant Death) and IWND will take that down to 0.736 (0.915) wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • A really close fight: Angron does marginally more damage (if Fulgrim doesn't chose Child of Terra as his Warlord Trait) but is frailer (the irony!) with a weaker save and 1 less wound (I guess that's the catch to have nails inserted directly into your brain...) so he will need 6 (6.1) rounds to kill Fulgrim, with the latter also needing 6 (5.5), but since Fulgrim has higher initiative he'll strike first and kill Angron just slightly before he's killed. Also with Child of Terra there is almost no contest...

• Fulgrim vs Mortarion
  • Mortarion hits 2.5 times, wounds 1.666 times, 0.555 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.222.
  • Fulgrim hits 6 times, wounds 2.666 times, 1.333 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.778 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • The first fight against a Primarch who isn't specialised in dueling and Fulgrim (most appropriately), wins.

• Fulgrim VS Ferrus
  • Ferrus hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.083 times, 0.694 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.361 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim Round 1: hits 6 times, wounds 3 times, 1 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.667 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim Round 2 and thereafter: hits 3.833 times, wounds 1.9166 times, 0.639 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.306 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • The infamous match! And also one of the closest. With the Hammer, Ferrus is like Fulgrim's worst nightmare, 'cause strikedown will go off even if the strike doesn't wounds him, reducing his initiave to 4 and stripping him of all his advantages. In the end, Ferrus will win on the 17 round, while Fulgrim will need 18 to come on top, so Fulgrim did really well to take the hammer away. Also, a really epic fight!
  • Note: the chance for Fulgrim's Blind to go off in this fight are actually a lot higher, as Ferrus will wounds him 33/34 times before he's finally able to kill him, and that could change the fight in favour of Fulgrim. Also, as with Angron, if he takes Child of Terra he will win.

• Fulgrim VS Konrad Curze
  • Curze hits 3 times, wounds 2.25 times, 0.75 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.417 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim hits 3.5 times, wounds 2.333 times, 1.167 times after saves and FNF and IWND will take that down to 0.833 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Easy win for Fulgrim.

• Fulgrim VS Vulkan
  • Vulkan hits 2 times, wounds 1.666 times, 0.556 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.222 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim Round 1 (And every round he is not Concussed): hits 6 times, wounds 3 times, 1 wounds after saves and 0.444 wounds after IWND.
  • Fulgrim Round 2 (And every round he IS Concussed): hits 4 times, wounds 2 times, 0.667 wounds after saves and 0.111 wounds after IWND.
  • Another really difficult fight for Fulgrim, but he should come out on top nevertheless, 'cause even counting in the 55% chance of a lower damage output he still does a little bit more damage on the whole. Still, really hard.

• Fulgrim VS Lorgar
  • Lorgar hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.0833 times, 0.694 after saves and IWND will take that to 0.361 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim Round 1: hits 4.556 times, wounds 2.53 times, 1.265 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.932 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim Round 2 and thereafter: hits 5.333 times/4 times (Concussed), wounds 3.556 times/2.667 (Concussed), 1.778 times/1.333 (Concussed) after saves and IWND will take that down to 1.444/1 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim easy victory: even if counting in concussive, Fulgrim will do a lot more damage to Lorgar, and he also has +1 wound.
  • Note: as always, psychic powers not included.

• Fulgrim VS Perturabo
  • Fulgrim Round 1: hits 4.5 times, wounds 3 times, 1 wounds after saves and 0.667 wounds after IWND.
  • Fulgrim Round 2 and thereafter: hits 3 times, wounds 2 times, 0.667 wounds after saves and 0.333 wounds after IWND.
  • Fulgrim Blinded: hits 1.667 times, wounds 1.111 times, 0.37 times after saves and 0.037 after IWND
  • Perturabo hits 2 times, wounds 1.667, 0.555 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.222 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Perturabo (with Fulgrim Blinded) hits 2.667 times, wounds 2.222, 0.741 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.407 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim surprisingly lose as after the first round he will be brought to I 4 (by Strikedown) and then Blinded and or Concussed pretty much every round (actually 85% of the total rounds, if my calculation are correct, that is more than enough for Perturabo to destroy him).

• Fulgrim VS Alpharius
  • Alpharius hits 2.92 times and wounds 1.701 times, 0.567 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.234 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim hits 5.333 times, wounds 3.556, 1.778 wounds after saves and 1.444 wounds after IWND.
  • Fulgrim easily win.

• Fulgrim VS Rogal Dorn
  • Dorn hits 2 times, wounds 1.5 times, 0.5 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.167 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim hits 4.5 times, wounds 3, 1.5 wounds after saves and 1.167 wounds after IWND.
  • Another easy win.

• Fulgrim VS Corvus Corax
  • Corvus hits 4 times (Scourge)/3 times (Shadow-walk), wounds 3 times (Scourge)/2.25 times (Shadow-walk), 1 wounds (Scourge)/0.75 wounds (Shadow-walk) after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.667/0.417 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim hits 4.667/3.5 times, wounds 3.111/2.333 times, 2.07/1.555 wounds after saves and 1.737/1.222 wounds after IWND.
  • Fulgrim easily win in a challenge.
  • Note: even with Hit & Run and Sire of Raven Guard Corax cannot win this fight, unless he get lucky with Blind.

• Fulgrim VS Roboute Guilliman
  • Guilliman Round 1/2: hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.222 times, 0.74 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.407 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Guilliman Round 3 and thereafter: hits 3.333 times, wounds 2.963 times, 0.988 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.654 wounds at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim Round 1: hits 5.333 times (Fireblade is MC), wounds 3.555 times, 1.278 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.944 at the start of the next turn.
  • Fulgrim Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 2.667 times, 0.8333 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.5 at the start of the next turn
  • Guilliman is the new challenge-monster of the Horus Heresy, so he will outdo even Fulgrim thanks to his Preternatural Strategy (as with every other Primarch save Horus).
  • Note: Actually Guilliman has a lot more chances to kill him while surviving using the Hand of Dominion, Concussing Fulgrim to Initiative 1 and making him lose all his advantages, making him only deal 0.1667 wounds per round, after all calculations. But I used the Gladius as reference in the off chance he didn't inflict al leat a wound per turn (only 7% chance per turn after Round 3, but Alas).

• TLDR version: Fulgrim is a really good challenger, having better chances against almost any other Primarch except for Horus, Guilliman, Perturabo (Only with Forgebreaker) and Ferrus, and in the last case the fight is practically a stalemate. He struggles a little with something that can impair his Initiative (Concussive, Strikedown), but is still a really tough Primarch and difficult to put down in a fight, like he should be.
