1 Fun Fact About Each Primarch You Probably Didn't Know | Warhammer 40k Lore 

Aye you fuck got a bot pretending to be you in the comments

RU-vid & GAMESWORK PLEASE READ - This channel started years ago with this man using a cartoon avatar to make What If videos about warhammer lore. But about a year ago this man thought that it would be hilarious and profitable to openly use the N-WORD on this platform. Before this this man has made a comfortable career attacking, mocking as well as sending death threat to the Autistic Community. And in recent months this man started selling LOLLI PORNOGRAPHY using Gamesworkshop’s Intellectual property without the company’s permission behind his patreon pay wall. This man has constantly gone against RU-vid’s Terms and Services. When RU-vid took down the video where he laughed at using the N-word, this man re-uploaded the same video with a minor edit so that he could have a second laugh. When the community tries to cancel him for his horrible behavior that is exactly when he discontinued his cartoon avatar and started Parading in front of the camera. He doubled down constantly saying phrases along the line “I’ll do whatever I want”. For a hobby with a recommended age of 13 and older this can not be helpful for the community. I was 13 when I stepped into the GW for the first time, and over the years I saw other unhinged man-children in the shop doing saying the exact same things as this individual. And every single time a parent would hear the exact words from those men come out of their children’s and they all received life bans. How is this any different? RU-vid’s platform allows him reach kids on an international level, he is directly responsible for creating the future RACISTS, SEXUAL PREDATORS, and CHRISCHANS. RU-vid, Gamesworkshop and the sponsors that allow this behavior to continue are allowing themselves to associated with criminal activities. To any other critics who have also received death threat from this man, call his local authorities for questioning. And let me remind everyone that these actions of his are only the tip of the iceberg. To Gamesworkshop, he has made a following on RU-vid that is close to your very own. On RU-vid. WHY? Because your lore videos are boring(no offense), leaving parts of the community to funnel into this channel. On his live feeds he getting large donations from individuals, that money could be going directly into your own pockets. If you want to direct your customers into profitable lore videos, then GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. Write a script that you are passionate about, cut the check and sent it to Superman. If you can some how pull that off, you will make a believer out of me and many others. I would even help with the cost by going back to my local Warhammer store and buy me some blood angels. To my close friends that were offended and then told by this man to shrug it off, I’m sorry. This disturbed man can not change his ways because he had years to prove it. And finally to you Majorkill- A dweeb who hides in sleeveless under armour is still a dweeb. You’ll never get rid me me

He did make that one joke that one time when dropping his papers. Cawls simulated guilliman has 0 sense of humor

Guillimans best jokes: "What do you call a melted-down tank? Scrap metal." "Two hunters meet. They are both dead." "What was the Istvan Dropsite called before the masacre? The Dropsite." "Being the Emperor is the worst job in the Imperium. Because he's in constant agony for 10k years😂😂"

​@@m.j.e.5245 Joke was okey, but what I really found hillarious was how confused Sicarious was, that his Primarch can actually tell a joke

I cant wait for a wh40k tv show and for it to kick ass

Guilliman is a good dad. Therefore, he has dad jokes.

Harambe flashbacks

​@@fun_police8011 d1cks out

The secret is that it wasn't Alpharius who fell into the enclosure, it was a body double.

@@fun_police8011dicks out for a real one

He also forced omegon to join his chess game when omegon was the one who got dropped of word and already grew into a xeno killing duellist

Guilliman and Perturabo nerding over minis its actually kinda wholesome

There was also a dude in the Sabbat worlds novel "Titanicus" who had a miniature shop where he painted and made miniatures of the local titan legion (though most of his work was repairing nobles' broken dolls and shit)

Fulgrim comes in with his fully painted figures, each one so masterfully painted and unnervingly lifelike.

In his war Games workshop

As always, the man just wanted to be left alone with his toys

That's iconic of Lorgar ngl

that Luther part was in the descent of angels book. one of my favorite in the heresy

Where’s the Guilliman one mentioned?

@@ElodieStarjem in Sinew Of War „I was five and my father had taken me hunting. I knew why. Even then I could read people as easily as I read the military treatises in Deucalis Library. My father had seen me watching his generals and magistrates. He saw how I despised them. The greatest statesmen of the greatest city were idiots, blind to the most important resource on the planet - their own, needlessly oppressed people. They were fools and tyrants and, even aged five, I wanted to tear down the whole, hide-bound edifice. My father felt the same, I knew he did. But my place in Macragge was precarious and he was too wise to risk my life on a point of principle. So he took me away, to a place we both loved, to the cold, beautiful foothills of the Crown Mountains where we could breath clean air and ease our fury by scrambling over rocks and scree. Away from the Senate, my father dropped the pretence that I was a normal child and we hunted together as equals. He laughed, as he always did, at the sight of my unfettered strength, proud of his strange little son. But then, when I saw him fall, grimacing at a gash on his arm, a dreadful truth hit me. We were not equals. We never could be. My father was not like me. The man who taught me about life was not destined to live. The flash of crimson on his tunic stalled my breath. One day, Konor Guilliman would die. He would leave me behind. Leave me with the fools and the tyrants. In that moment I became the child I usually only pretended to be. Tears filled my eyes and I placed my hand over his wound, wishing it away. He laughed, shaking his head - not in mockery, but reassurance. He took out a coin and handed it to me. His face was minted on one side and Consul Gallan's was minted on the other. He closed my hand over it, squeezing it tight. "Feel its strength," he said. Strong as I was, I could not crush the metal. "The coin is Macragge," he said, "Beautiful and unbreakable. Made to outlive us all. And while there is a Macragge, I will be with you, Roboute. My virtue is the virtue of Macragge. My strength is the strength of Macragge. This is not just my home, Roboute, it is my soul and it is my family. And it is your family, too. Macragge will endure. Macragge must endure. And as long as it does, you will not be alone." Konor’s death is also described in this book

Be funnier if it were Battlemace 420 Million because, you know, 420.

and then finalise hugging of Magnus!

​@@allunt8170 zogging right! He's gettin a truly Enormous Hugga, loik ya wont believe!

@@darthkek1953 Well 420 is in 42 million regardless, though.

@@ardabaser1349 yes but 420 is the funny number.

Yeah, Angron, Perty, and Magnus are my favorite traitors

Just imagine if he hadn't had the butcher's nails planted into his brain, literally he might have been able to prevent some of his brothers from turning to chaos through his empathic abilities and counselling, he would have been better at it than Vulkan, he could've used his abilities to help keep Perturabo loyal and reduce his bitterness, and his abilities may have even helped Horus from getting resentful towards the emperor for abandoning the great crusade. In my opinion he's one of the few people that if his upbringing was better off (by that I mean if the eldar stopped making things worse by acciident) then it would have had a knock on effect to change the entire setting completely.

@@thedyingmeme6 Agreed wholeheartedly. I could possible switch Perturabo with Curze, but that depends on my mood at the time.

@@Gazza-eo3ei Absolutely. Some of the greatest lost potential in 40k is Angron, which is why it makes his unfortunate path all the more saddening. He really could have been one of the greatest, but circumstance fucked him over hard. To no fault of his own, he got one of the worst deals.

@@thedyingmeme6 I love Angrons tragedy but at the same time the character is just such a one dimensional character, I completely get why he's like that and I love it but I just can't like a character like that. I love Perturabo and Magnus, especially for their relationships with each other, both were outcasts among most of the primarchs, they had a love of learning and inventing, they both had massive tempers and had a sense of arrogance around them, yet they were so different in how they did everything, Perturabo had no psychic power but was an unrivalled genius in the physical sciences and conventional strategy, whereas Magnus's true talent lay in sorcery and using the warp to circumvent his enemies ways of war completely, even their appearances seemed to challenge each other, with Perturabo being like a dark iron statue, whereas Magnus was ever changing. The few interactions we see with them are amazing. They're definitely my favourite traitors

I always think about this, glad someone thinks the same!

And now that he's Nurgle-fied he did embrace his powers. Ask Gulliman if he had a good time fighting that guy.The answer is no.

@@dimitrijestanisic3478 too bad Kahn and the Blueberry had hacks, Morty cant get anything :(((

​@sambeserra7170 If he killed them, so much lore would have never happened

probably his ego, him seeing all of his brothers being warriors and tacticians probably inspired him to want to be the best of them, beating all of them at their own game and more, after all his perception of perfection was not just constant improvement, but being better than everyone else.

That adornable

Him cuddling with a blanket the size of a napkin 😂

I am now imagining Dorn keeping his blankie inside his armor during battle... Dorn: "This blanket was a gift from my beloved adoptive grandfather, it comforts me and provides additional padding against blunt trauma. It is a very functional piece of equipment."

Read it as TTS Dorn ​@@GhostBear3067

"Ah, Brother. I know your every mo." Alpahrius is cut off mid sentence as Rogal appears from nowhere with the flying tackle.

The posterboy for “you’re overthinking it, man.” Sometimes a spade is just a spade.

Do you think he shaved himself bald to really sell the look?

Why did he do that thought?

@@jahrusalem3658 No, but I absolutely see a bald cap being involved

@@astrovarius543 Probably.

Source out of curiosity

​@@Allen667sjja if you mean about Corvus, it should be in his primarch Novel, its not that Corvus managed to see through the Emperor's illusion, it was that he somehow managed to remember the time he was still in the gestation pod and see the emperor without his glorious aura on maybe since the emperor was alone with a bunch fetuses in a tube he loweres his guard, it is hinted that this might be his true form cause the emperor wasnt happy about it when Corvus told him this.

i really want to see him do “All the Ways You Can be a Heretic” it would probably be the funniest thing I've seen in a while 🤣

All the silly ways you could be a heretic😅

GW really needed to do a full "setting reset" when they decided to make the Primarchs actual beings, instead of trying to work backwards. Failing that, they needed to do a "First Great Crusade" setting, NOT the Horus Heresy, to truly set the stage for the Primarchs and their Legions. And give them time to really flesh things out - like why Ferrus Manus is often considered so pivotal to the Primarchs that whoever had him was going to "win". And time to sit back and go "Waitaminute... that's really effing DUMB." for things like the findings of Angron and Mortarion, to set up the reveal of Alpharius being the first-found (imagine having a non-descript Legionnaire accompanying Custodes or the Emperor at strange times, being personally commanded by the Emperor or Valdor, and even at times giving orders to Custodes? And having that character being referred to only by a Rank for something like 20 books, before it's revealed it's Alpharius?), and to truly give depth to the characters who fell to Chaos? But... alas. Hopefully others have learned from GW's mistakes.

I feel like there is so much overlap in his skills with Dorn, Perturabo, and Vulcan. I think that’s probably why he doesn’t get much focus compared to his brothers.

If you ask me, Iron hands and Ferrus manus should just embody the grim dark badass side of 40k, just make Ferrus a Hercules like figure

Yet he saw the truest vision of the Emperor.

@@starhammer5247 Thats just major headcanon. Lion thinks he is right... Always. until WH40K return when he has started to really reflect on the matter and got to terms that he was wrong about alot of things. He thinks Emperor looks like him. But he doesnt. Emperor looks like how you want you to see him. Corvus is the only one who has made the emperor uneasy by bypassing the visual veil and telling him how he looked on terra before scattering.

just to add to the mindfuckery of the visual veil of the emperor, Lion sees the emperor as a hooded old man with emerald plate armor, Lions current look in WH40K is hooded old man with emerald plate armor. He absolutely did not see the true visage of the emperor.

@@_NutcasE_ The Lion told absolutely no one what he saw. I don't recall a single lore instant where he told anyone what he saw when he looked upon the Emperor and it was not the Lion who said that he saw the truest version. It was the lore saying that. It was the lore itself, it was not the Lion, no one said anything about his viewpoint, it was the book itself. Also, it said nothing about the Emperor looking like him, it just said that he saw a robed figure in green armour and did not see his face. The Lion has never worn green, not once. Even his recent appearance does not show him in green armour. The Lion has always worn black.

@@starhammer5247 You are wrong, Lion describes to himself what the emperor looks like. and Official GW art depicts him in green plate. Hell Son of the Forest depicts him in green emerald plate so dark it might fool someone as black. So you shot yourself on the foot. READ THE NOVELS NOT REDDIT.

On top of that the 2nd primarch actually an impossibly good scooter skater. Until he hit Emps in the shin with his solid aurmite scooter and was erased as a result.

@@heftyordinanceindividual4015 caused all fun to be banned from the imperium to cover up His embarrassment from loosing a game of Skate

Indeed,he described him as an old man in silver garments

When was that? Man corvus seems so special to me even without these awesome moments.

@@080ization I think the problem purely comes from messy GW lore and not enough focus on certain parts of each primarchs

@@080ization he is my favorite primarch and probarly the most underrated

​@@080izationPretty sure it's in Deliverence Lost

Or after his ascension to daemonhood, which would make sense, his soul was removed and the gap was filled with some chaos shit

Calm Clone Primarch Angron vs Angry Demon Angron would be an interesting fight

Given that the fulgrim clone had it's proper soul, despite Daemon fulgrim still being alive, it's possible

Yes he could. I can even show you the passeage. Hint bint it's not even in a he said she said bit. And it's flat out this is this

@@themasterninja110 It's from a character's perspective. Literally no one else says this. He just thinks he knows,

@muzanjackson8827 that part isn't from a characters perspective though. Those little parts in-between the chapters aren't really from anyone's perspective. The actual chapters themselves, yes.

@@themasterninja110I mean, that part was the Lion's thoughts, idk how else to say that

@@muzanjackson8827 seemed more like the thoughts of a third entity looking in than either the em0erors or the lions, like he was narrating everything and knowing everything.

Wouldn't Sanguinius most likely have fallen to Nurgle, not Khorne? At least that's what is the most talked about option, including the Dornian heresy

@@kekkoinen lol be real. do we really think the guy named after blood that represents honourable combat but also unending bloodlust was gonna go to Nurgle? Sanguinius represents Khorne's duality of being more than any other primarch and Nurgle's whole deal is stagnation and decay.

Sanguinius would have been either Khorne or Slaanesh. Never heard any one suggest Nurgle until now. Khorne for the Blood Angels red thirst and near berserker tendencies. Slaanesh for Sanguinius trying to change his legion from the violence obsessed killers into artists and artisans. Seriously, I'm trying to wrap my head around the Nurgle angle but I just don't see it. The angle I see would be "acceptance that you are broken" but that still really leans more into the Khorne side than Nurgle.

@@deltatea3192 yeah i just see Nurgle as being complacency and acceptance of death and collapse, and there's just not a lot of Primarchs that naturally go that way. even Morty had to essentially be "tricked" into it out of compassion for his soldiers, and if Sanguinius was gonna go that way (deal to ease the suffering of his comrades) it seems like Slaneesh or Khorne have the most direct route to easing the suffering of their eternal thirst.

the rule of cool

Well hes fast as fuck too tho..

some scorch on your wings just looks even more badass tho

That's a way to get shot and cut into pieces by big daddy Sanguinius and his little gremlins

He definitely uses his wings to fly. Not sure of the lore that says he doesn't, but it's in the siege of terra books when he's thinking about the intricate design of them whilst flying.

*Perturabo playing Tabletop 40k with his sons is both sweet and amusing.* He most certainly would kill any of his son, who won over him.

Lion does not see Big E as he truly is that is just Major headcanon. thus far only primarch who has been teased to see Emperor in his true form is Corvus Corax who made emperor uneasy when he tells how he sees the emperor and the emperor gets uneasy about it. basicly he gets uncomfortable that someone can see through his layers. Lions description suits himself which fits his HH ego as he always thinks himself closest to emperor so naturally he sees the emperor as himself.

I think the fact that it’s green - the Dark Angels’ post-legion livery - is a big hint that it’s not his complete true-form, but still a lot closer to it than just about anyone else can see. Still badass and reflective of the Lion’s aspect as a sort-of chivalric knightly hunter and slayer of monsters / warp entities. But yeah, regarding what @_NutcasE_ mentions, the scene in the book where the emperor comes down in-person to meet Corax, when he first comes out of his ship he’s sort of flexing / peacocking a little bit by “slightly” ramping up his psychic presence and charisma. All the mortal humans present see a perfect godlike being in the stereotypical idealized human form, emanating unfathomable power, and they can’t help / lose the will to do anything but fall to their knees in awe, hardly being able to withstand gazing directly at him for more than like a second. Meanwhile, Corax only sees just a simple hooded figure, albeit giving off a faint golden aura while he’s actively flexing, but nothing more, and Corax only has to exert a little fraction of his own willpower to be completely resistant to it. He’s immediately sus of the emperor (and in general anyone) who would take away men’s free will, even for good, and it’s for this reason that he uniquely can see the true form and gets told about the warp and stuff. Like, after introductions, the emperor goes into Corax’ tent with him, and they sit and talk for hours, in which the emperor actually takes off his hood and Corax just sees a simple old man. The emperor explicitly says that Corax is pretty much the only person in history who he can just talk to as a fellow man (or where they both at least see each other as). I guess Malcador might be the one other person in this category maybe? I’m not sure. But yeah, tl;dr Corvus Corax’ goth-loner persona is his lowkey greatest primarch superpower.

​@@MrHolydoodle Not true at all. Honsu and Perty played together and Perty wanted him to win which he did. It was the opposite actually, he straight up said he would kill Honsu if Honsu lost the game.

​@@_NutcasE_it's literally in the book bro. Yes je does.

Huh, I never thought of that, excellent theory

people focus on the eldar child part but not the constant pain, torture and mental agony vulkan was put through by curze= and people also ignore the fact that he felt heavy remorse and disgust towards himself after in moments of clarity

@@anirudhashok3332 he also burnt down an entire planet of peacefully coexisting Eldar Exodites and human survivors of a spacecraft crash who worshipped the Eldar as their saviors and gods. The Exodites rarely let people peacefully live on their planets, so Vulkan destroyed a one in a million opportunity to build better relations with the Eldar just because the human's worship and love of the Eldar made them refuse the Imperium's offers Also the Kurze stuff happened after the child incident, since it was Kurze who ordered his Marines to open fire into the crowd, and Vulkan despised him for that. So the Kurze stuff doesn't really affect his actions with the child. And while he did regret the child-splatting it didn't really alter his view on Xenos, he just sulked about losing his temper before moving on to other things

@@eg_manifest510 understood What book does this happen in? The exodites part I mean I would like to read this

@@anirudhashok3332 it was the Compliance of Caldera (leave it to Vulkan to name a planet after a volcanic crater) and the wiki lists their sources as: *The Primarchs (Anthology) edited by Christian Dunn *"Feat of Iron" by Nick Kyme *Promethean Sun (Novella) by Nick Kyme Personally I only knew about it from TTS (the best Warhammer source), I haven't read the books myself

As of lately i have seen more and more people saying they like corvus the most Wonder what's changed

@@080ization I like ravens and I like stealth. If it weren't for the Raven Guard, I probably wouldn't be so invested in Warhammer. The Night Lords probably would've pulled me in if it wasn't the Ravens.

Awesome corax being awesome

With the fewest casualties, but not the shortest amount of time. Alpharius would regularly take months longer than necessary taking over planets because he preferred more intricate, challenging and riskier plays that resulted in fewer casualties for his soldiers.

what book is this

@@anirudhashok3332 It should have been a short story in the Horus Heresy 16, Age of Darkness.

@@El_Presidente_5337 I read it already thanks

W

I don’t know if you telling the truth or not.

Going by most art of him they're still too small for his size to actually generate enough lift for him to fly, he could probably glide decently well with them when lightly, or wholly, unarmored though.

yes

Probably the Emps children and the Luna wolves since they fought a lot together when the third legion was the size of a modern chapter
