I always wonder what the 13th company has been up to all these years, and what the ultimate goal of the Alpha legion is. What were the Relictors doing on Armageddon?

The 13th company was in the Eye of Terror and came out during the black crusade. I hope that they are incorporated into the new SW book (whenever that get around to being made), but more explanation would be nice.

Well, the Relictors were up to what they're usually up to: collecting Chaos relics to use to fight Chaos with! (Hanging around the monument to Khorne/Angron, I think...)
Of course, with the latest SM codex, GW has apparently set the clock back on the Relictor's story...

The 2nd and 11th missing Primarchs. What could have happened to have them expunged but yet Horus is still there. I have my own theory, they went rogue pre-Heresy so the Emperor was still alive and able to erase all history of their existence.
The Dragon on Mars. All evidence points towards something Necrony on Mars.

If Teh Emp erased all history of the 2nd and 11th Primarchs, there wouldn't be missing 2nd and 11th Primarks now. It would be like it is with the 4th, 5th and 17th Primarks.

This is my favourite, I always get funny looks from DA players, when I explain it to them. I don't know if they just don't agree, or if they're thinking about what to do with me now that I have found out!

Never heard that one before - that is seriously cool, how come Dorn accepted the splitting up of his legion though, if he really was numero uno - another conspiracy!

Thats the prob. The current necron fluff is rather uhm...yanno so they really need something cool. The dragon on mars, now that would be awesome.
Thats a really good one.

We might get a codex for the Mechanicum if that's the case, now that they are quite distinct from Guard and SMs.
A new set of metal miniatures they'll ignore.

id kinda like to know what happened to all of fabiuses horus clones. im thinking of whriteing some fiction where one of them thinks that the whole harisy was a fever dream (he was pritty sick when he turned to chaos and thats one of the reasons he gave in.) and when he woke up in a bath tub of goo and doesnt know how he got there and thinks that the black legion is the dark angels turned to chaos and steals a ship and heads for terra but fist send a mesage to the emperor telling him hes headed home. crazy stuff right.

I like it, Split the legion so Dorn can do his own Order 66. Now THAT's a true "Et tu, brute?" 40K style

Mechanicum gives a pretty definitive answer on the 'Dragon of Mars' thing (its one of the two main plot strands) - I won't spoil the answer by posting though!!!
It also mentions the 2nd and 11th Primarchs in a conversation between Rogal Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite, but only in a Basil Fawlty 'don't mention the war' kind of a way.
This for me is a cool mystery because GW have never given even a tiny hint of what happened...

In some necron fluff as well as the necron codex it talks of 4 C'tan left. two of course we know of, the Nightbringer and the Deceiver. That means there are 2 left. As has been hinted here, one is more than likely the Omnissiah on mars. The other, from what I know has no fluff whatsoever. I would like to see these two in apocalypse.

No because the other 2 are the Void Dragon which is entombed on Mars and is worshiped as the Omnissiah and the last C'tan is the Outsider who left the galaxy altogether though some believe he is the cause of the tyranid hive fleets. So therefore unless GW releases some new story line its just not possible to have them in games of apocalypse.

I'd like to know something as simple as how the legions became chapters. Did each chapter in a legion just become independant or were the new chapters taken from random legion units or even volunteers?
Did first captains of the legions get the choice to remain in their parent chapter or become a chapter master? How were legion resources like serfs, work shops, ships etc divided up?
Also given that power armour, tanks etc are so hard to make, is it possible for the mechanicum to recycle chaos marine arms and armour or is it too tainted?
What happened to all the armour and equipment of the dead marines on Istvaan III? I assume the stuff on Istvaan V at least was taken by Horus.

i think gulliman was the leader of the coup, and dorn was his pawn. if dorn was in charge, he would still have his legion and not a bunch of chapters. and plus, afterwards gulliman kind took over after the hersey.

My favorite Myths are the ones around the missing Primarchs. So little is known about it. I wish they would shed a little more light on the subject, not enough to give it all away. Just enough to give a taste. Or release a worldwide Campaign that ends in the recover of data having to do with them.
I also like the Idea that the Warhammer world is in the Galaxy, but it is a protected world and none are allowed to interfere with its goings on except the Chaos Gods.
What I want to know more about is what is happening in the Wings of Sanguinius. (The Constellation) I have not found any information on it where I have looked other than if you go there, you will most likely die from what is there.
Another conspiracy is that the Black Rage and Red Thirst of the Blood Angels is actually a curse from a Greater Demon. Ka'banda cursed them with it while fighting Sanguinius or something like that.
Oh, yeah, almost forgot. The theory behind Ferrus Manus's Iron Hands. Asirnoth, the great silver wyrm, is said to be the Void Dragon, that is how Ferrus got his living Iron Hands.
Good stuff.

Nobody has seen any action out of the other two C'tan so it is hard to say who they are. The general theory is that they are the Void Dragon and The Outsider. But there are theories involving the Void Dragons death and The Outsider left a long time ago. But those are the two best candidates since we dont really know of any other C'tan that have existed or still might exist.
