Of course that's arbitary number throwing by GW. In reality it's how fast GW wants to be releasing them. They could release all 21 at once if they felt like doing so but that would actually be likely less profitable than releasing them in dribles.

I hope they release Dorn and should release him in Centurion armor!

Integral in the whole "fracture in horuses's armour" maybe buuuut



Also coming from a warcraft background i'm really jaded when it comes to returning characters since every death is probably "only a setback"

And wasn't it established in a recent book... i forget the name, the one where "the golden one" finally snaps out of his 10k year meditation and some other primarch hints are dropped... that the primarch are
basically warp.... things, power, constructs, "souls" placed into bodies capable of sustaining them, but they ESSENTIALY all eternal. As long as Sanguinius's souls is floating around somewhere in the warp
if enough power (faith) is pumped into a suitable body well.....

As someone not religious I could care less if bringing back my favorite Primarch would "render his death meaningless"... so over stated and so trite.

What does someone being religious have to do with it? That's quite a jump to make there matey.

Unless you do actually care, as that is literally what you said in your post.

I support the return of some primarchs but it's a bit boring if they're all brought back one by one at the same point in time

Fair enough. I'd prefer they release primarchs into the game slowly though. We've gone from zero primarchs in 40k to three in what feels like a short time, it would be good to get one every year or two. I suppose I just don't want all of them appearing in (roughly) the same edition and the idea of primarchs in 40k to become inevitable and boring. Have one or two appear for major campaigns and have their return written into BL novels so every primarch appearance is a major event
