40K Lore For Newcomers - Who Are... The Primarchs? - 40K Theories 

Half of them are varying degrees of dead and the other half are hide and seek champions nearly ten thousand years running

A mix between a league of extraordinary gentlemen and the galaxy's most dysfunctional family.

"Flesh is Weak Weaaak"- Ferrus Manus, TTS.

I dont play, but i love painting the plastic and reading the books. These videos are genius, the barrier of entry for normies into 40k is pretty intimidating and these are fantastic 'sampler packs" of the 40k lore. Keep up the hard work! We all appreciate it.

This reminds me, some time ago I read a fan lore that reinterpreted one of the lost primarchs as a bearer of the pariah gene. Being a primarch, his "anti-warpness" was on the same power level than an Omega psyker and the result was... chilling to say the least. In the tale, after causing a lot pain to the chaos gods in the warp he landed on a planet more or less like current day Earth and taken into custody by the local government. However, his power rapidly increased and began to affect the people around him, destroying their minds and essentiallyturning them into vegetables. Eventually he broke free and went on a voyage from city to city, unaware of his effect on the people. The native humans, unaware of this and thinking it was some sort of epidemic disease then began to bombard each other. By the time the Emperor found him, already an adult, he had wiped out every inteligent life form in the planet without even trying. According to the tale, the pariah gene made the legion a very effective force, since their enemies couldn't face them without suffering serious brain damage and their battles were little more than target practice. But since their presence was (Understandably) abhorred by every other human, even the primarchs and the Emperor, he decided to take all his astartes and run away to some unknown section of space before the Horus Heresy began.

I’ve been a 40k fan for many years, but that makes your videos no less entertaining. Absolutely love them, thank you Remleiz

3:01 "Just stop breathing. I can smell the ammonia from here."

The reports of Omegon's death are highly exaggerated.

Of all their final fates, Rogal Dorn's is the most underwhelming. He just got rushed by a gang, but there's so many stories of primarchs being completely untouchable by even large numbers of Astartes and slaying terminator squads with ease it makes you think there must be more to this. Maybe chaos was involved somehow.

Vulkan lives!

"Sorry friends, this here corner of the room is very dark for some reason. I tend to use it for them dramatical entrances" Surviving footage of Primarch Vulkan from the salamanders fortress monestary after intense, but brief, earthquake.

I was under the impression that Corax was found after both the lost and the purged due to Corax asking the Emperor how his could be the nineteenth legion if he had only seventeen brothers. The Emperor sadly told him it was a story for another time. Do I have this wrong?

I'm still fairly new to the whole 40k universe so this was really helpful, thank you

Slightly correction: At roughly 10:50, instead of "uniting all people under a single banner" it should say: "Going *really* fast".

Considering history still remembers Horus, I wonder what level of hell the forgotten two primarchs had to do to get scrubbed from history.

Whenever I see Guiliman as the new Lord Commander all I hear is a certain TTS voice saying "NO NO NO NO NO...." XD

"... The first theory as to why he (Leman Russ) would go into tje Eye of Terror was to find and once and for all defeat the one known as Magnus the Red. From a rather reliable source, I can say that, and I quote; THE FURRY FUCK DID NOT SUCCEED!" - a Custodes companion

vulkan best cos he atac he protec he ressurrec but mosly importantly *he blac*

12:46 are you sure? in Deliverance Lost it is implied that the two missing primarchs are already gone, as the emperor tells Corvus Corax that he has seventeen brothers.

Hearing zoran say something marginally serious in that voice is just too much to handle

3:00 In my head I finished it with "Now drink the bleeding CHAOS!"

Long I have waited for this! Good job, you have earned my subscription!

Now the eight Prime Orks during the WAAAAAAGH!!! of the Beast.

What would be a primarch’s opinion on a sensei? Would they view them as a brother, a fool, a rival or something else? Given some sensei do worship the “Star child”, which is theorized to be the emperor when his mortal form is killed off, will the sensei play a major role in the future of 40k since their disappearance from new lore or will they be struck as into the void that is mystery and fan theories?

Sean Connery as Leman Russ was something I didn't know that was missing from my life.

So servo skulls are designed to look depressing but I just really feel for that one at the beginning. It’s eye is just like “please! I beg of you, end me”

Aaaaah, the Primarchs... Big E's single greatest achievement and biggest mistake at the same time. Even now questions linger. Questions such as "If Lion El'Jonson comes back into the picture whose side will he *actually* take?" Personally I like to think that the whole mess on Caliban was an enormous messy miscommunication, with both Fallen and Unforgiven actually being broadly 'loyalist'. Let's face it, the Primarchs were generally speaking far from perfect in their own special ways, and Cypher has given us reason to believe that the Fallen actually do have the best interests of Humanity at heart even after all this time. Perhaps they and the Alpha Legion have something going on behind the scenes? Sorry; Fallen, Alpha Legion AND the Ynnari. Humanity and Aeldari both have a lot to gain from each other at this point, what with the Eye of Terror and trying to stop Chaos from eating everyone, both figuratively and literally.

It'd be cool if the Primarchs are made from the genetic material the Emperor collected from destroying the Gods of various ancient human civilisations (Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Norse, etc.)

My primarch Lionel El'Jonson is the most loyal of them all and i totally didnt betray him with the so called Fallen

For Corax! For the Emperor! Victorus aut Mortis!

"The 9th to be found is Magnus." 9rh... coincidence?

We should fortify this comment section

#BlameLorgar

Remember folks, the White Scars could have their primarch back if he would only learn to pull over and ask for directions. At this point even Vect would probably willing to give him accurate directions out of the webway just to finally be rid of him.

*I am Alpharius*

"The Dusk Raider would be renamed The Death Guard..." and everything turned out fine the end

I have a question for you- sorry, everyone probably knows this but I don’t- where does the artwork of the Emperor and all of the Primarchs come from? I’ve seen it in a million and six RU-vid videos over the past year- and I have a pretty large collection of Warhammer books, Codices, art and sketch books- and yet that beautiful black and white picture has not appeared in a single one of them. I’d be ever grateful if you could help me out with this! Thanks a ton- love your videos!

vulkan is the purest son and we love him and we are de BEST OF FRENDZ

Corvus Corax confirmed alive in the eye of terror, hunting Lorgar as a shadow creature.

Great series! I have only been into 40k lore for 3 or 4 years and I am learning a lot from these, thanks!

Can you image the primarchs being on Jerry springer. Would pay to see.

That picture of Fulgrim at 2:51...I’m rather ashamed to say I understand Alexis’ point of view a bit better after seeing it, cause I’d tap that...and I’m supposedly straight.

Hey remleiz, i hope you are having a good day d00d also good video :)

"Awful, awkward, and an atrocity upon family values." -Primarch Corvus Corax describing his family reunions.

You know after slowly getting into Warhammer this universe is so in-depth its amazing.

Okay Horus clearly looks evil as fuck, there’s no way the Emperor didn’t see that shit coming.

I'm new to Warhammer and so is my girl. So that is for these would it be to much to request some lore on greyfax that's the character my girl likes.

Thanks for the info, i asked my friend about the primarchs and this is the video he sent so thank you

What in the holy hell was that attempt at Leman Russ' voice?

I always forget that it was never the emperors intent on being worshipped

So basically there demi gods with daddy issues

MAGNUS IS THE BEST. ALL HAIL THE CRIMSON KING.

Just an idea, "What if the Emperor listened to Malcador the Sigilite's advice of making female primarchs?". Like 10 primarchs will be sons and the other 10 will be daughters. Just a thought though.

Smurfdaddy is back and intends to do a bunch of smurfish bullshit with his UltraSues. And then there's the new brand of SuperUltraSues.

Remleiz can you make individual primarch videos (I can’t remember if you have or haven’t but I don’t think so)

Did I miss something or were the ones who accepted the emperor more easily also the ones who turned traitor while the loyal ones all required some feat of strength?

Hollywood isn't ready for Warhammer. Make no mistake.

Leman Russ and his less talented Brothers.

LOL @ 16:05.... "The Golden Dreds of Sanguinius"....

Rogal Dorn > Perturabo

Sanguineous @2.17 looks like the the lead singer of Saxon Biff lol :)

The Primarchs are... the reason the Imperium is a terrible place.

For Russ!!! For the Alfather!!!

"of the Leegeeohnee Ahstrahtees"

Thanx man really awesome

*Blood Raven* : You guys having primarch?

I like to think one of the lost Primarchs and legions turned to the fifth Chaos god, Malice Malice is the Chaos god of anarchy and he fights against the other 4 gods simply for the lulz

A little bit of the Emperor. A little bit of the Chaos Gods.

Hi remleiz love your channel i just want to ask about this quotation and who said it. I remember seeing this in your channel "At the end of the day, though he's been ferried through hell on a ship that's ten thousand years old to some godforsaken, war-torn rock; though he deployed from high orbit with nothing but a grav chute; though he is one of ten million men and women snatched from his homeworld to fight a war he barely understands; though he has been given a weapon that fires small suns and may annihilate him as he fires because the knowledge of how it functions has been lost; though his company is supported by tractor-tanks that run on anything you can burn; though he wages war against a devouring hivemind, ravenous demons and hordes of hyper-advanced aliens with strange technologies and sorceries he never dreamed existed; no one will remember his sacrifice, there will be no records of his deeds, no glorious parades in his honor, and no remembrance of his name. All he will earn is a shallow, unmarked grave on a forgotten world untold lightyears from home. Yet for all this thankless sacrifice a Guardsman is a man, just like you. He has no millennia-old genetic engineering, no prophetic leader, no miracles of faith. He has his lasgun, his orders, and those beside him. He is the Imperial Guard. And he will hold the line."

I always thought it was weird how Alpharius Omegon were referred to as one person, including saying that there are 20 Primarchs rather than 21

I like to think the two unknown primarchs, just wanted to be left alone and the emporer agreed to leave them after they spoke

Imagine the primarchs as the level that the juggernaut is in Deadpool 2 strength wise, and the Adeptus Astartes are on colossus level

DORN is back, baby!

You know, at 16, 17 I would have started to think if this was a good idea😂

I know that's it's all meant to be a mystery, but one day I'd love to know what happened to the lost primarchs and their legions, would be cool to do armies around them in 30k or 40k if one or both should ever return in an event

dear lord this sounds like a futuristic Greek tragedy

I wonder if the story of the 2 missing primarchs will ever get told, i suppose if they think they can make some cash they might.

great video but uhh, I think Leman Russ has been a lil' bit miss represented with that audio sample

Damn.....fresh video! Nice!

I wonder if guilliman is aware of the lion on the rock? If so will he wake him up? Kill him ?

I have yet to see a pc game that does this insane universe justice. Id love a brutal, deep and epic rpg playing as one of the Primarchs.

i bet the 2nd and the 11th legions are only purged on paper but have actualy become shadow legions who work behind the scenes

Why does fulgrim look like a women in his 1st picture

Maybe the Adeptus Custodes should be covered next.

Rogal Dorn will be back! vulcan will be also. i cant wait for every primarch loyal or traitor i cant wait for another epic fight!

When Horus throws a fit then Guilliman becomes #1

So one thing ive never been able to get a proper answer for is, if there is a set of twin primarchs does that mean theres actually 21 primarchs or no just 20 ?

For the WarMaster!

Ave Dominus Nox!

The Lion is actually awake! I'm the end of the Codex, it reveals that Luther escaped and that the Lion is awake

7:47 - Also known as Big Papa Ultrasmurf. | 8:12 - It's Spiky Tits! | 10:37 - KHAN!!! (echoes) | 10:56 - Fiction's most horrific version of Batman. | 11:33 - Angron the Barbarian.

I would love to see a video about 'normal' life in the imperium. Is it true that all civvies are fucked? Or are there actual happy middle-class ones?

I might be misremembering here, but back in the day, when I played 2nd edition 40K, I thought there was only 12 Primarchs. Am I wrong or did the GEoM find some more down the back of the sofa at some point?

I find it funny how lorgar made a religion about the emperor and got told off and now look in 40k it’s literally the only thing your allowed to believe (except the machine god )

WHEN SOMEBODY ASKS YOU IF YOU ARE THE GOD EMPEROR, YOU SAY YES!!!!

ahh 17...the emperors most disappointing son

I've been off from 40k lore for too long. Is Guilliman alive/awake as of now?

I like to think that Mailcabor was a primar as he was the most powerfully person in history next to the primarce / empire . to me hes the 2 and was difective or ment for a diffrent task.

13:40 wait, so there is a 21th primarc? (i'm new to warhammer btw)

Iron Within, Iron Without!
