Does anyone know what happened to the primarchs? i know 10 went over to chaos with their marine legions, the blood angels guy got killed and the white scars (i think) was tricked by the dark eldar into the webway where he forever wanders, cursing the dark eldar? what about the other 8?

C'mon now people, simple google searches

Yes there have been multiple threads on this. Go look for them.

Nine, not ten, went to Chaos.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/306652.page this has been done to death by people who could have just used the dakka search, lexicanum, or another 40k wiki, please please please look

Stickies and Lexicanum are your friend.

And we only know 9 went to Chaos, and 9 stayed loyal. We don't knoiw where the other 2 went.

Are we 100% sure on this one

Apparently Leman Russ did turn to chaos. The SW just claimed he went to the EoT looking for the 13th company.

A few of the loyalists died of old age, others in battle. Some of the chaos primarchs are still in the EoT just doing their own thing.

2 primarchs took their legions to another galaxy and established a new civilisation. 1 primarch was called darth and the other jedi.

Corax bailed out on his legion. After the Dropsite Massacre, his legion was in shambles. He was forced to accelerate the gene-seed processes in the new initiates, which resulted in genetic monstrosities. He couldn't take that, so he got on a small ship and headed for the eye. His last words were: "Nevermore"

Ferrus Manus is dead, definitely. Fulgrim did it himself, and he had Manus' decapitated head for proof.

On a side note, we can never be sure if the Primarchs themselves are loyal or not, as per their Legion is not always an extension of themselves. Loyal or Traitor.

Some corrections to Grey Templar's list:

1. Guilliman is dead, with his body held in a stasis field on Macragge and rumoured to be getting better.
2. Corax survived Heresy, whereabouts unknown.
3. Khan is missing, chasing Dark Eldar pirates into the Webway, and presumed dead.
4. Manus is dead, killed in the Dropsite Massacre.
5. Russ is missing, presumed alive somewhere.
6. Dorn is dead, killed during a Black Crusade on the Despoiler Class Battleship Sword of Sacrilege, remains recovered.
7. Sanguinius is dead, killed by Horus on the Battlebarge Vengeful Spirit at the climax of the Horus Heresy.
8. Vulkan is missing, presumed alive somewhere.
9. El'Jonson is missing, presumed dead, but not on the Rock as that's his frenemy Luther.

1. Horus is dead, killed by the Emperor aboard the Vengeful Spirit.
2. Perturabo, ascended to Daemonhood.
3. Angron, ascended to Daemonhod.
4. Magnus, ascended to Daemonhood.
5. Fulgrim, ascended to Daemonhood.
6. Mortarian, ascended to Daemonhood.
7. Lorgar, ascended to Daemonhood.
8. Curze are both dead, slain by a Callidus Assassin.
9. Alpharius is presumed dead, slain by Guillman and his clandestine twin Omegon is missing, whereabouts unknown.

Both unknown Primarchs are dead, their names erased from history and polite conversation.

Edit: Derp

About Dorn, his hand bones were found, so he is listed as missing by the Fists.

Alpharius is currently a MOD on... wait, wrong Alpharius. Umm, we can't be certain on which of the twins died.

We can't be sure about any of the missing or presumed dead Primarchs, quite frankly. Much is subject to speculation in our present and in their future.

Nurglitch wrote:9. El'Jonson is missing, presumed dead, but not on the Rock as that's his frenemy Luther.

Not according to codex: angels of death, he's sleeping deeper in the rock than Luther, with only the watchers in the dark and the Emperor knowing.

Corrected corrections:

1. Roboute Guilliman is presumed dead, with his body held in a stasis field on Macragge and rumoured to be getting better.
