It's just spectacular how the genius minds of the primarchs only seem to know how to charge into machine gun fire with little to no support.

I know their wouldn't be a story otherwise if they didn't just wipe out horus from orbit at the start but how dumb can they be to charge into every obvious trap

I recall a video explaining an astartes faction (can't recall which) who are renowned for their 'brilliant tactics' of focusing on taking out enemy leadership and getting behind enemy lines.

This is a faction renowned for engaging in what should be a basic tactic, which as you can imagine doesn't bode well for how dumb astartes would be in that case.

Eh, they did that to a few. Then one of the smartest ones used them to accidentally break all protection big daddy emperor set up in the palace and lead to him being the undead guy on throne

Probably the Raven Guard or the Raptors, which are the sneaky chapter and the "what if space marines used modern tactics?" chapter, respectively.

I know I know. Just funny that is their tactics when constantly called tactical minds of the generation which I guess is true with how dumb the rest are
