Hey Everybody!

So i'll start off saying that i realize not everyone would like this idea, and that many think its better that they are all mysterious and all. But My thought and question is that is it reasonable to think that by going through the traits of the known legions that it might be possible to piece together what the 2 unknown legions may have been like? By analyzing which traits are over/under represented by the known Primarchs and their legions, by other logical deductions, such as what well known cultures/armies have not been touched (seeing how most legions were based on something from our history)

Anyone have any interest in this sort of thing?

Already happen, in another thread.

Since the traits of the Primarchs were influenced in large part by their upbringing, it's impossible to extrapolate from the existing Primarchs.

The fact that they were probably flawed in some way makes it even less predictable. There's no way of knowing what they were supposed to be like, and even less of knowing how they actually turned out.
