Under no stretch of imagination can Curze be considered the greatest primarch, and that is why he’s my favourite.

He might be the greatest Warden lol say what you want about him, but he did a really great job keeping the worst of humanity in lineish, after turning them into 7 foot six biological war machines. I personally can't stand him or his logic, that said he definitely enriched the setting and he is the best warden followed only by El'johnson.

One could argue that he was the only primarch that "won" in the end. He accomplished his only goal - which, to be fair, was a very easy goal - and he found the closest thing to peace he or any of the other primarchs would ever reach. It's heavily implied that his crown held a soul stone, which may well be where his soul is now (which is a damn sight better than being tormented eternally in the warp). That at least counts for something.
Konrads visions is him knowing he can't change what GW wrote about him! He was so edgy because only he can see the meta and that one time Horus did.

Read the Dornian Heresy. It’s an alternate take where all those we know as loyalists fall to Chaos, and the heretics remain loyal. Curze overcomes his demons, and learns to harness his psychic visions. He uses them to allow many Marines to escape that realities Istvann Massacer as he could see which ships would be shot down, and which would make it to safety. In the end, he is a hero of Terra.

What a character, brilliantly written so tragic and powerful in equal measure. It must be said though that in his haste to conquer mankind the Emperor neglected one important duty which was mentoring his troubled sons like Conrad,Angron,Motarion and Logar
I like Konrad because of his tenacity and his ability to literally climb up from the deepest depth and still get results, unlike a couple of his brothers who were pampered or just whiny. Konrad had a lot to deal with and tried for a very long time to be the best version of himself and faced a lot of setbacks. That makes him one of the most human and relatable Characters in the Whole setting and that's why he will be forever my favorite. It is interesting to see probably one of the best of the 21 to fall and fail so hard over time. Imagine what he could be under different circumstances. Easy top 3 of all of them.
Between him and angron , talk about tragic.

Conrad is nowhere near as bad as Angron, Fulgrim, Lorgar, Magus, or Mortarion. All of those are far worse than Conrad Curze. He held the 1st Legion for months... A prime Lion. He then wages a one man guerilla war on Ultramar with three of his brothers chasing him. He then stands toe to toe with Sanguinious. Sure he's a sick fuck but he is by far one of the most dangerous primarchs hands down.

I like konrad because he's nearly capable of getting the last word/laugh or escaping any situation just like Cypher. He can be the biggest pain in people's But I don't like granting him any sympathy. He had plenty of examples and time to console with people who were paragons of humanity, humility, fairness, etc....for him to change to readers "he could been..." he's Vlad the Impaler. He's got brothers and legionaires in his life who hard it way rougher and no daddy time who were not all jacked up. He was the way he was by choice like he was told in his head by his dad lol. He just didn't like the fact that he was considered by all, a degenerate psycho. Instead of changing himself he blamed it on his visions and maker, then leaned into that which he realized that didn't work and when he realized he wanted to change he had gone too far and all that his legacy was had been just as damned as he was. If he's actually dead, he took the cowards way out. well written character nonetheless.
Curze just vibed in his own twisted way
In his primarch book, he chooses to kill a boy he pursued when he could have taken him under his wing and taught him about the necessity of justice, the punishing of the guilty etc and found something of a family, the one thing that could have made the biggest difference to curze growing up. That, imo, was the turning point for curze, where he could have become completely different from what he went on to be. A primarch who would have been able to pass on his lessons to those he took under his wing and open up to them about himself, something he felt he couldnt do with the other primarchs, and when he did with fulgrim his confidence was betrayed
"This one is gonna be a tough sell"
Woo! My favourite primarch being covered surprisingly early in this series!
He is deffently the most crazy one.
Does Dorn ever think back about confronting Curze as an oopsies?
Curze is the primarch we need the most

But Konrad did have visions he could influence. When he was chasing a gang youth across a roof, he had 2 visions; one where he spared the kid, raised/taught him, learned empathy and found kinship. The other vision, the kid tried to hurt him. Being the ultimate pessimist, Curze killed him. True, he had visions, like Sanguinius, where he wasn't involved. Unlike Sanguinius, when he had influence over events he foresaw, he chose the evil path. Konrad can be pitied for his lonely upbringing, but he was still a broken, vile Primarch who made choices to follow the worst outcomes of his visions.
Definitely one of the best. Maybe even second best. The Night hunter was a legend above other legends. And his legion is no different.
Out of curiosity do y'all think Ctaan shards and Waarp shards we used to create primarchs? Like the more tech were ctaan the magic were warp and the more stable were a healthy mix of both?
Tough one though, despite his brutal “upbringing” and exposure to such darkness, I still feel my top choice has to Corvus, he went through a great deal too many years later and despite everything going on, he still took the fight to enemy on their own turf even to the point of it corrupting him to mutation, he still kept / keeps his loyalty to the Imperium, to hunt down brothers like him for their betrayal, that for me is total and utter dedication and commitment against all odds and his anger, hatred and epic desire for vengeance has been his greatest weapon, but that just my opinion ✅
You may be a Primarch, but can you flay 100 still living rats in tiny crucifixes? Curze can.
I think it sounds like the emperor is blaming erda....
A question: If raised on Terra under the guidance of both the Emperor and Malcador would Konrad have truly become the figure of fear he was in the Great Crusade? Was his ruthlessness in dispensing justice innate or “nurtured” by the horrors of Nostramun society?
🟣💜 Glory to the Dark Prince! What sweet slaaneshi irony. All Dante's Circles of Hell start from the Second: the Sins of Lust and Pride! Fulgrim and Emperor's Children become Serpents, Konrad Curze and Night Lords become Dragons, Alpharius/Omegon and Alpha Legion become Crocodiles. What is the excessive power of the Emperor's Children, the Night Lords and the Alpha Legion under Slaanesh to have bodies of pure flesh and bone fused together (like the bodies of the Tyranids)? Genestealers (Tyranids) and Beastmen can find excess only with Slaanesh! I think I've solved Slaanesh's Necromancy! Ghosts and Skeletons of Slaanesh are of Ice, moved by Lust and Pride. A pearl of Slaanesh please: Ice Magic of Slaanesh. Does it have a classic look or does it have a more snowy look? The (humanoid) Dark Kroxigor for Slaanesh? How can they be? Circle of Avidity is a hell of gold, Circle of Gluttony is a hell of blood, Circle of Carnality is a hell of sand, Circle of Supremacy (Paramountcy) is a hell of ash, Circle of Vanity (Vainglory) is a hell of water, Circle of Indolency is a hell of snow. But why is it called that and not simply Supremacy? Furthermore, the gold pearls of the Circle of Avidity must be Gold Serpents or Gold Elementals, i personally say gold pearls (the magic water that can turn everything into perfect gold). And shouldn't the Circle of Vainglory simply be called the Circle of Vanity (example the Princes of Vanity)? "Vanity, definitely my favorite sin." (The coral/seaweed Forest of Vanity) 💜🟣 I have an interesting theory about the V Circle of Seduction, Vanity (Vainglory). As Nurgle is nature on Earth, Slaanesh is nature in Water (example the sea gardens of the Laer). And by logic the fragrant and flowery Forest of Vanity is of perfect coral with spikes and seaweed with spines, dominated by serpentine Demons with spines. You like it? Sun Dragons in the Circle of Carnality, Moon Dragons in the Circle of Indolency, Fire Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Ice Dragons in the Circle of Indolency, Metal Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Ash Dragons in the Circle of Indolency, Earth Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Sea Dragons in the Circle of Vanity, Lightning Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Blood Dragons in the Circle of Gluttony.

He’s the most human, because he knows his imperfection.
How the Emporer found out about the Heresy...from Conrad's premonitions. Then using the forgetfulness psychic power hiding the 2 lost primarchs from the other 18, on Conrad attempting to help him forget that he has the power. But it didn't work! He still remembers his power and still has continued visions.
Can we talk about how his crusade against indecency was likely done as a child?
When big E was making Primarchs he chose souls from the warp. Konrad's was the one of Batman.
He unleashed the night haunters upon terra during the unification of it when a state revolted he sent in the intial sons of curze a one year horror propaganda move was so successful other factions backed down as well
If the loyalists had Curze on their side (which is laughable) but if it did happen he would be the boogie man for all of the traitors because though he hates Chaos, he is more than willing to got full psycho on them unlike any of the other loyalist primarchs.
Had Conrad choose to make a diary for every day he sees the foresight, it maybe makes him better. The diary itself become famous with its credibility, the best seller in Terra " Diary of space Batman".

He just has that hawk tuah girl vibe too him.

Curze saw the actual future as it would actually be. Mutable fate/immutable fate, doesn't matter. What he foresaw is what actually ended up happening. I think if you did change fate somehow, he would still see the actual future as it will be, regardless.

Best things: - He saves lorgar and made corax fly away. - Trolling G-man on his home planet - Avoiding the Lion as long as he did, and kinda beating him once So, if that’s your highlight reel. One of them actually highlighting he is less impressive than the Lion. Only to get killed by a lowly assassin. Of all the dead (aka missing) primarchs, he fell to the weakest adversary. Something thats multiple power levels below him. Hey I love the guy. But many had it worse than him. And many did better. He’s great because he is so inherently immoral that he comes across as evil, even when he was loyal. He is a better combatant than many credit him for. And he actually would be more useful to the imperium in 40k than 30k.

@davidmacon1138 Conrad in my opinion, is the Sanguinious of the traitors. His legion fought and held the Lion and the 1st legion at bay for months bleeding each other white. Then he terrorizes Ultramar by himself stand before Sanguinious and they are matched. Conrad is probably the most underrated and underestimated of all his brothers. He then never retreats to the eye of terror and faces his death like Sanguinious before him with full knowledge of that end. Death means nothing compared to vindication.

While the falls of the traitor Primarks are mostly great, I noticed that they seem to stem from bad roots. Slaves, criminals and religious fundamentalists. It all seems like GW are implying that you will turn bad, if you start off bad. Without the chance to rebound and better themselves because the salvation was denied by betrayal or inactivity of others.
