Who of the Primarchs should have survived
I mean in the way of what they could have done for
the IoM or Chaos Gods.

I ofcourse vote for Sanguinius, but what do you think

Sanguinius.

I agree, as said in my Original Post.
He was every good thing the Primarchs had in them combined.
Except the book-writing part. He was more busy defending the Emperor then writing a best-seller book

I would have liked Ferrus Manus to survive...
Or, at least have a less undignified death...

Sanguinius.

None. The less we have to see of them the better. I mean, just have a look at them, these days they are written in the same Mary Sue ( with the possible exception of Bowden's Lorgar, who actualy had *gasp* some serious weaknesses ) bs way like most fluff about the Emperor of Mankind has become.

I think theyre all going to be back sooner or later, but I think the one primarch that shouldnt of died would be the Night Haunter.. I always wonder what would of happened if someone would of killed the Assassin before she got him. What would Night Haunter of done then lol

Well some of them cannot come back on account of them having a serious case of being dead.

Yeah well, so does Ulthran apparently.

No one stopped the assassin because he ordered them not to. Kurze was completly insane and spent his last days switching between wanting vindication then killing slaves and eating their flesh. If M'shen hadn't have killed him then he would still have found some way to try and martyr himself. He hated his brothers, his legion, his father and most of all himself, he really had nothing to live for by the end.

What? Have you read the HH series? The Emperor's being portrayed in it as an arrogant, but incredibly powerful being with some serious flaws.

The Primarch's themselves are also portrayed as having flaws:
- Fulgrim - Pride and perfection.
- Magnus - Arrogance and over-confidence.
- Pertuabo - Conceit, immaturity and spite.
- Leman Russ - Apparent lack of own morals; a weapon.

the list goes on...

Magnus was over so much and they call him arrogant.

I would have preferred it if all the Thousand Sons had survived and stayed loyal...

This is discussion rather than straight background.

Moving to 40K General.

I agree with purplefood.

I would love if the Dorn Heresy came back. Oh that was a good read.

As for primarchs All hail Sanguinius.

Dorn would have been great for another possible rift within the Imperium.

Guilliman. 'Cause he is blue.

well going by what the OP poster said there is only 5 we can choose from. really 4 b/c is there really anyone who wants Ferrus Manus back? :p
Mine choice would either be Rogal Dorn or Sanguinius.
Though not an option from the OP poster I would like to see some of those Primarchs who "disappeared" come back. I just think its kinda lame how every living loyal primarch is either asleep or lost in either the weebaway or the eye of terror. perhaps GW is planning on having some make a triumphant return?

I know you said not Horus, but...Horus. Only because I despise abaddon.

Dorn was a great leader, who knows what he could have accomplished if he'd survived?

Breaking OP's rule, I'd suggest Vulkan, since Graham Mcneil's account of the Isstvan V massacre had him blown the up by a titan shell. Assuming he just used that to rocket-jump to safety, his boys are working on figuring out where he went, so who knows?

But didn't he side with Dorn after the Heresy? So... doesn't that mean he went missing sometime after? Vulkan's missing status has always confused me...

Dorn all the way you talk about Creed's tactical genieus....he'd look like rain man compared too dorn

Yeah, Dorn really showed his genius in the Iron cage /sarc.

This. Imagine what Dorn, the Primarch who built the Imperial Palace and it's defences, could do to Cadia's defences.


Besides, with the Black Templars and their numbers he'd still effectively have a Legion, without having a Legion!

Dorn with Sanguinus a close second, and bring back horus for 1 day just so he can kill abbadon for being a failure and champion of malal

they are actually still loyal.

they hate all the other traitors with a vengence.



they aso hate the space puppies as they came in and shed all over their couch.



Magnus has Arhiman searching for a cure for their curse. he is also looking for a way to defeat Tzeench and destroy him. Tzeench actually thinks its a great idea, its new.


they are ultimatly loyal to humanity and the Emperor's vision.
