Warhammer 40k - Primarch Tribute

Comment and rate please!

Traitors

Warmaster Horus was killed by the Emperor of Mankind, and his soul was obliterated. His corpse was completely destroyed by Abaddon the Despoiler, who also took over his place as overall leader of the Chaos Space Marines.

Magnus the Red rose to the rank of Daemon Prince of Tzeentch.

Angron rose to the rank of Daemon prince of Khorne.

Mortarion rose the rank of Daemon Prince of Nurgle.

Fulgrim rose to the rank of Daemon Prince of Slaanesh.

Lorgar rose to the rank of Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided.

Perturabo rose to the rank of Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided.

Konrad Curze, aka Night Haunter, was assassinated by Callidus assassin M'Shen. He allowed her infiltration, apparently wanting to die.

Alpharius was killed by Roboute Guilliman, but the source which reported his death may have been manipulated.

Loyalists

Ferrus Manus died at the Drop Site massacre at the start of the Horus Heresy, and Fulgrim presented his head to Horus.

Sanguinius was slain by Horus after refusing to join him.

Lion El'Jonson returned to his homeworld of Caliban only to discover that his friend and second-in command Luther and the Dark Angel garrison had turned against him2. He led a strike force of his own loyal Dark Angels against the traitors. He disappeared amongst the inferno as the world was blasted apart by a Warp Storm and a bombardment from his ships in orbit. He sleeps deep within the Rock, the biggest piece of Caliban and current homebase of the Dark Angels. Only the Emperor and the Watchers of the Dark know of this secret.

Jaghatai Khan disappeared as he was pursuing Dark Eldar into a webway portal after they had managed to raid Mundus Planus. Rumours abound that he fights there still, lost in the twisting paths of the Webway. After nine thousand years it seems highly unlikely, but not impossible.

Leman Russ disappeared in the Eye of Terror. The Space Wolves hold a legend that says Russ went on a quest to find a means to cure the Emperor. His final words before his disappearance is that he would return for the Wolftime (the final battle). It is also said that Leman Russ led a retinue to hunt down the fallen marines. One chapter in particular, Thousand Sons.

Rogal Dorn boarded a Chaos cruiser during a Black Crusade alongside a company of his sons and died fighting. He died after many of his loyal brother Primarchs. Today, his hand is housed in the holiest shrine of the Imperial Fists chapter, and his dead body encased in amber and put in Phalanx 11. Another theory states that he now commands the Adeptus Custodes.

Roboute Guilliman was struck down with an envenomed blade by his former brother Fulgrim. His body is perfectly preserved in a stasis field at the heart of the Temple of Correction. It is rumored that he is alive and that his wounds are slowly healing, something normally impossible in a stasis field. The truth of this rumor is unknown.

Vulkan disappeared. The position of Chapter Master, filled by the Captain of the First Company, is considered to be a regency as the Salamanders believe that Vulkan will one day return and lead them on a great crusade against Chaos.

Corax was racked by guilt and shame. In order to rebuild quickly the strength of his legion from the Dropsite massacre on Isstvan V, Corax accelerated the growth of the gene-seed organs, producing more Space Marines, but this process also deteriorated the Gene-seed, causing many to become hulking monsters. Riddled with guilt over what he had done, Corax administered euthanasia to all of them and then locked himself away within his sanctum, the Raven's Tower. Exactly one year later he left his tower, haggard and gaunt, and took a small shuttle craft with the words Never more. It was last monitored setting a course for the Eye of Terror.

The Unknown Primarchs have been deleted from Imperial Records, but I personally beleive one was the Primarch of the Legion of the Damned.

I just thought if they were presumed dead they were because the only ones whose fate I know of are either dead or daemon princes

[Musikkingofthecookie]

@nightlord1210 Leman Russ is missing, not necesarily dead, Jaghatai Khan the same. Lion El'Jonson is in a coma, Guilliman is not dead (yet) but in Stasis, Vulkan, too, is missing, Corax is mi-- Actually, im just gonna state which ones are actually, for sure, dead

Dead list:

Ferrus Manus

Konrad Curze

Horus

Sanguinius

Rogal Dorn

2 unknown primarchs who were censored and killed.

[nightlord1210]

So all the loyalists are dead some traitors survive and if abaddon unites the traitors he can be more powerful than Horus and the emperor?

[Jagonath]

@TheVampirelord101 Interesting idea about Omegon and Sigmar (!) being the lost primarchs. Omegon and Alparius definitely count as a single primarch though ("one soul in two bodies"). Also only a few of the primarchs were psykers, Magnus, Lorgar (somewhat), Mortarion, Fulgrim (a little), Sanguinius, and Russ (though he didn't know it).

@Jagonath ultramarines were doing completely different things during the HH, they went to ultramar because they were under the impresion their system was attacked by orks, but actually it was the word bearers. in the HH dark angels first made mistake of giving perturabo siege weapons (not knowing he was evil), then headed back to earth but were intercepted by the night lords (as u say) because horus ordered them too delay them

[Jagonath]

@IDyce88 RE: The Dark Angels in the Heresy, they had a large legion and also spent a long period of time fighting campaign again Curze. El'Jonson fought a duel with Curze, and lost (Curze was probably the most deadly fighter of all the primarchs), but Jonson was saved by one of his men (both of them were severely wounded, but healed up). After that, Guilliman asked the Dark Angels to link up and help him prepare for the aftermath, since they knew they couldn't reach earth.

[Jagonath]

@Hunkyfish20 I doubt they will. The main reason they never explained was so players could create a chapter with their own invented "lore".

[Jagonath]

@Frostburn777 Is there actual proof that they came from the Thousand Sons? I always assumed this anyway, but it's always possible they came from one of the two lost legions.

[nightlord1210]

The song fits perfectly in tears as curzes fate came up r.i.p Nighthaunter

[SuperMihaCar]

@97Macros before the burning of prospero magnus scattered his fleet and one of the remants of that fleet where the blood ravens
