Unless you can source it, I find myself dubious as to its authenticity, it's definitely not in either of the only two accounts of Dorn's death I can think of, i.e. Index Astartes II and Fantasty Flight's First Founding.

Lysander's story only mentioned Fist of Dorn as wargear to be taken, not much else.
But I to remember on our Facebook group chat about new source for Dorn in some book. I can't remember what book was in question I do know that in that story IF found only his fist and nothing else. Dorn had disappeared and his fist was put into the Chapter's halls and names of various heroes from Chapter were engraved into it.

Wait, where in the dex does it say his prisoner is alive?

For all we no he could be dead

that or in tradition trazyn style, its just a normal marine in a primarchs armour

also, I don't think this has been mentioned, could it be honour guard?


EDIT: I've also read the lyslander story somewhere...
maybe in C: CSMs?
but it was probably C: SMs

Trazyn only uses replacements for his dioramas. His collection only contains the actual things he wants. He wouldn't fake a Primarch using a Space Marine.

I tried to point that out last time this terrible thread came up, nobody listened.

It's not the Lysander story I'm concerned with, it's what sounds like somebody's fanfic rewrite of Dorn's death to include Iron Warriors and escape pods.

well hopefully they listen now!

As I said earlier I cant remember where I read it but I do remember it was quite recent. It could be some random fanboy fiction for all i know, cant remember unfortunately. What I do know is that the previous fluff on Dorns death is no longer considered canon and he is "presumed dead" which in 40k could mean anything or nothing really.

"However it has recently been revealed that Dorn and his veteran Space Marines stormed the Chaos ship and were cut down to a man. Later, the Imperial Fists would pick up an escape pod from one of their own ships, which contained the effects of the Primarch when he went onboard the ship and a single skeletal fist of the Primarch. Where the true Rogal Dorn or his body is and what his fate may have been, no one yet knows."

From 40k Wikipedia, source unknown.

Another possibility is that it could be one of the expunged primarchs, though if you threw up a poll I would have to say rowboat ghillieman, just because the idea is so damned funny.

There used to be a Space Wolf that was the size of Leman Russ himself, Ranulf, his name was if I'm not mistaken.. Maybe hes just a big ass marine.
