i agree that dorn wasn't warmaster material, but i was retrospectively referring to the strength of loyalty which would have prevented an alternate warmaster from turning to the gods, as horus did.

and i did actually forget to mention vulkan. as aldaron mentions vulkan doesn't measure up to others in warmaster qualities, but it's my opinion that vulkan is the best suited to taking up the mantle of supreme leader of the imperium. while he doesn't measure up to other primarchs in certain regards he has 2 qualities that i think make him the best choice, 1) his effective immortality and 2) his compassion: and when it comes to compassion vulkan is unmatched by any primarch with the only possible exception of sanguinius.

although just to be pedantic :) - it was russ that initially attacked jonson and jonson retaliated, and vulkan is killable, he's very killable: kurze killed him many times and in a variety of manners. vulkan has been defeated, and killed not just by kurze, many times but his perpetual-hood allows him to come back to life.
