What if certain primarchs had landed on different planets ?

( Yes i know that the planets that the primarchs landed on where chaos pre ordained )

Case 1 Lorgar lands on Prospero Magnus lands on Colchis How would they develop ?

Lorgar is not the psychic powerhouse that magnus is Magnus is not as gullible as Lorgar was .

Does earlier contact with the warp corrupt Lorgar sooner ? How does magnus develop on Colchis being the only legit psyker on the planet when the emperors find magnus how does Magnus attempt to ''heal his sons ?

Case 2

Corax lands on Nostromo Kurze lands on deliverance.

Can Curze free deliverance not being the tactician that Corax is? Can Corax completly clean up Nostromo ?

Lorgar would probably just have his psychic ability nurtured by the Prosperans. Magnus would have seen through Kor Phaeron's duplicity and refined the religious aspects of the Colchisians until they were closer to Magnus' own- the Great Ocean, etc.

Corax would have fixed up Nostramo no problem. Curze, on the other hand, would just drag Deliverance down into the gutter. He'd try to do everything himself, and get a bullet through the skull for his trouble.

Interesting idea though...

I agree with 4oursword on Lorgar and Magnus, and even Corax. I'd like to expand on what I imagine would happen with Corax though. I think that he'd more than likely approach the itizens he found, being adopted by a crime family and starting off as an enforcer, until he finds out he's part of a criminal underworld and the entire planet is corrupt. Cue gathering of people who agree with him and the following mass slaughter.
Curze I imagine would have turned out differently, perhaps freeing Deliverance, but through more brutal means. He wouldn't have been alone though.

Fair points but Lorgar still has an innate desire to believe in something greater then himself.

Prospero Lorgar surfing the warp would most certainly come across the Chaos gods leading to him possibly being corrupted before the emperor find him.

Kor Phaeron probably gets killed trying to kill Magnus when he realizes that he cant control him.

I am not so sure that Curze could not free deliverance he is after all a primarch not withstanding his mental issues

I think Corax' situation would depend on who found him. Remember, Corax was sent into the labour camps and treated poorly by the upper class, but cared for by the labourers. This sets up his personality for the future.

On Nastramo, if he was found by those who were victims of crime, he may have turned out the same way as on deliverance. If he was found by the upper class, he may have turned out differently, never experiencing what it's like to be a victim.

I remember somewhere that Corax feared how similar he was to Kurze, possibly turning out like him. I don't remember where though.


Here's an interesting one: Angron and Leman Russ?

Angron and Russ trading places is boring in my eyes we already know that that sans Angron being lobotomised by the butchers nails they are interchangeable.

Case Three Angron and Guilliman.

Guilliman lands on Nuceria and is adopted by the Thal,kr family becoming a noble of Nuceria

Angron land on Maccagre among the wild men of Maccagre how do they progress what would be the character of their legions when the emepror finds them ?

How would their very different upbringing in this setting change their character ?

*switch*
Kurze and Russ
Lion and Horus
Dorn and Angron
Lorgar and Magnus
Gil and Khan

Ooo sweet possibilities
