Maybe remeber that the legions were all founded? Plus sigmar had no space marines.

Sigmar was never found. Hence the UNKOWN primarch.
Sigmar was awesome. Primarchs were awesome. Why do you deny sigmar was an awesome primarch?

Are you trying to say Tzintz/Zinch/Tszintch/whoever he is, threw him straight through into another dimension when Chaos whisked away the infant Primarchs

Your just proving EF's point! If Sigmar was a lost primarch that was never found of course he wouldn't have some spehz marines! He would have a legion but he would never have found them. Mabye warhammer is in the "Storm of The Eperor's Wrath" warp storm or whatever it is.

In the older WFB fluff, they never said, "Sigmar is a lost Primarch", but I think it was heavily implied. It's my understanding that they've recently retconned Sigmar's origin (I don't play WFB, and my knowledge of Signar is based on the First Edition of the WFRP game, which was from like 1990) that he was born of a woman, and changed some other details.

So, in 2009, I'd say that GW has made it clear that Sigmar is not a lost primarch. But, about 15-20 years ago, it was heavily implied that he was.

Yes Alpharious did have a twin in Omegon, this was confirmed at the end of the Horus Heresy novel legion when the Alpha legion met with the xenos group called the Cabal. But theres no way of knowing for sure if the emperor was even aware of Omegon as this was a secret closely guarded by the legion. This is also the reason why people question whether or not Guillimen had actually killed Alpharious because Alpharious and Omegon were twins.

But more on topic lol, it seems unlikely that Dorn would mention wishing he had the help of a primarch that he had no idea even existed. It also seems unlikely that the emperor could cast out a primarch that he possibly wasnt even aware existed.

Fools, the primarchs aren't lost. They are obviously Chuck Norris and Bill Gates. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!


Oh, and Gulliman should never get of his lazy butt. Because then, he'll probably end up writing the little blue book of spehhs marheinz II, ripping apart the space-time continuem, opening another eye of terror and screwing mankind.

Chuck Norris of course...but Bill Gates?
Since when did ANY primarch deal with computers and businessmen?

Ferrus Mannus was in love with technology. He made his soldiers cut o thier hands. Or maybe they did cause they were like emo or something.
And Roboute Gulliman was strictly buissness. During The Scouring he would never stop on a planet to say "Hullo Governor!!" No he would go to planets that needed his "Help" and do a bunch of crap and leave with out a " Good day Governor"

I give up. One cannot argue with that kind of logic. But even you have to admit that Bill Gates is certainly not Primarch material.

In the Audio Book "The Lightning Tower" it is hinted at that they may have fallen to Chaos before they were found by ' the False Emperor' sorry I ment Emperor !!!!!

Spoiler:


Statues of the twenty stood on austlith plinths in a silent ring. There was no-one around even the custodian guard were absent, lumen orbs glowed on black iron poles. The investory was two kilometres in diameter, under the glittering stars it felt like an arena where twenty warriors had gathered to make their combat, the second and eleventh plinths had been vacant for a long time, no-one ever spoke of those two absent brothers, their separate tragedy’s had seemed like admirations had they in fact been warnings that no-one had heeded

It would be safe to assume that if there are two unkown legions, then there are also two unkown primarchs. Wether they have been united or not is impossible to say.

Hopefully by the end of the Horus Heresy series (which could be a while still) we will know what at least one of the lost legions are/were.

Silver Skulls are listed in the rulebook as "Unknown Founding." Perhaps they are descendants of one of the unknown legions.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but Mechanicum has a brief mention of the two lost legions. Dorn is speaking to Malcador and comments on how he wished he had 15 legions on his side instead of 13 and Malcador basically tells him not to speak of them, they are lost to us.

So whatever happened to the two missing legions, it happened pre Horus Heresy.
