In it, we have the Emperor declaring that Psykers, especially those in the Legions, were to be outlawed.
And yet, the Rune Priests of the Space Wolves were still allowed.
Is this because the Wolves were originally designed to hunt down other Legions, or was it truly thought that their 'Rune Magic' was different from, say, the Thousand Sons' psyker abilities?

Prospero Burns, in it Leman Russ explains that each Primarch had its particular purpose when the Emperor designed them. Leman Russ was designed to be the Emperor's executioner. The fact that they were present at Nikea, but the Sisters of Silence nulled their psychic signal from Magnus, enforces the Emperor wanted them to stay powerful for that one reason. If any Astartes spoke out, it was Wolf Time!
