Specifically in casual or formal conversation when the Primarchs and the Emperor spoke, what kind of honorifics or titles or names did they give him?

Secondly, how did they sound (sarcastic, sincere, angry, ect.)?

I can hardly imagine they did bro fists and casually called him the "Big E" so I'm curious on a case by case basis for each Primarch (as much as can be told from the writings anyway).

Probably as "Father" or "My Lord" depending on their relationship with him I assume?

The HH novels ( in the main, i think ) have them address him as " Father ". They probably would use " My Lord " after a stern talking to.

I would've thought there'd be some Etiquette...but errr how about...DAD??? :-)

"You strive for victory. That is obvious. What may be less obvious is the nature of victory. There are circumstances in which you can destroy the enemy utterly, without loss to your own forces, and yet the victory may be his. In all situations, you must first decide on the nature of victory, and then take steps to secure it. Avoid the instinct of fight first and think later." ( Leman Russ )

Come into my web, said the spider to the fly.
Come rest your wings, and let us talk eye to eye.
For I am a spider, and you are the fly. Now that you are here, let us sit, and say hi.
But I have have no morsel to share, nor anything to eat. But wait, what is that stickiness upon your feet.
Ah now I have you, now I can eat. Now I can enjoy you, or store you as meat.
For I am the spider, and you are the fly. How else could it have gone, between one such as you, and one such as I.

This.

Finally found my quote from a gym buddy born and raised in South Korea:
"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
"It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
"It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Of course, it all makes sense now. Carl!

Doesn't matter how I came by it. Point is, this is the genuine article: a Space Marine bolter. Cursed? Only if you get caught with it. Here, I'll show you how easy it is.
