I know that Vulkan is meant to return once the Salamanders find all of his lost equipment.

**bash_bates**

And the Salamanders quest could go on forever.... The epic models look massive compared to normal troops, were they any good in the game, I mean Magnus for example can take down a titan using mind bullets...

Ta for the pics btw!

Seriously?

Anyone have this quote/piece of fiction saved?

I'd love to read it!

What? That lazy sonuva can't get his own stuff?

**daedalus-templarius**

Those Epic models are pretty hilarious looking.

Hopefully 6th edition will herald the return of Russ or some other Primarch just in time for a Black Crusade to break Cadia and the Golden Throne to fail...

or some other way to advance the background

You, me and just about everyone else would LOVE for the background to advance!

The Emperor dies - but is reborn!

But many don't believe, or choose to not believe, jealous of their own power base!

Civil unrest - CIVIL WAR!

Ultramar becomes the seat of the reborn Emperor's power - and base for a new Great Crusade!

Roboute Guilliman emerges from statis - healed!

The Great Khan, Corax and Russ - return!

Chaos breaks through Cadia!

The Tau and the Necrons are completely wiped out and never return, given that all they really were was a bad pandering attempt at drawing in the anime and 'Terminator Movie Fan' crowds!

Rejoice!

Never happen though...

You forgot that Cypher exposes Azrael as Luther and the Emp casts the DA out and re-unites the fallen under Cypher and the Lion is freed from his cell in the rock for some much needed psycho-therapy

**KamikazeCanuck**

no, no no. 'Nids simply eat everything!

OK, I did forget that!

But really, I can't remember everything!

Can I?

**TyraelVladinhurst**

also forgot Dorn coming back as they never found his body

What!?! Azrael is Luther? Luther is The Lion!? Cypher is Cypher!? By the Emprah!

**LordWynne**

I got figures of Angron, Mortarion, Magnus and Fulgrim from the Epic game and at times run them as Chaos Lords looks pretty cool.

**Alpharius**

You might want to check page 2 of this very thread...

**SanguinaryGuard**

Leman Russ went into the Warp to chase the TS CSM Chapter and took only his retinue with him, leaving behind Bjorn the Fell Handed to watch over the Chapter

**del'Vhar**

Is there any actual fluff on how long a Space Marine can live?
Obviously they dont die from old age because they are fighting constantly, but how long can they last if they dont die in combat?
I would assume primarchs could last even longer than a normal Astartes, but I havent heard anything about an actual life span.

**SanguinaryGuard**

I think they are pretty much invincible outside of combat. They do a number of procedures to alter the body of a SM to make it resilient to poisonous gases and all that

**Ryan4tor**

AH! I mixed them up. Oopse. haha. Ferrus Manus was dead. Vulkan is missing, yeah.

marines are immortal, as are primarch's but they tend to die in combat

**Henners91**

Marines aren't immortal Tyrael, take old Dreadnoughts like Bjorn... they are only rarely woken up because they're starting to slow down.

I'm pretty sure Curze is just a Grimdark Batman.

GW aren't smart enough to do something subtle like that.

It's a reference.

Corax saying "nevermore" is a direct reference to a famous poem called "The Raven" which was parodied in The Simpsons.

Lion El'Jonson is a reference to a poet called Lionel Johnson who wrote a poem called the Dark Angel.

**AgeOfEgos**

If they came back though, who's going to babysit?

KHHHHHHHAAAAAAANNNNNN is the one I would like to see back but then again I play Scars...

**Asherian Command**

Vulkan made me laugh so hard.
Vulkan and Gulliman would bring the imperium back to its Full glory.

Sanguinus

lives in the very blood of each Blood Angel

Thats cause Marines still had that new-power armour smell on em at that point. The books actually say something along the lines of "as far as they knew, Marines are immortal"

**TyraelVladinhurst**

lol, good point and with GW always changing the backround i've got $5 says with 6th ed codex marines all marines get a 6+ invulnerable save

A few we know, some we assume, for example, Roboutte Guilliman sits in his shrine in his stasis field with these wounds right, who caused them, is he still technically alive etc? Of all the Primarchs who turned traitor, people seem to assume they are all Daemon Princes, that seems a bit weak to me. Forgive me I haven't read the Chaos Codex so am unaware if this sheds any more light.

So... in order...

1st Legion - Dark Angels - Lion El'Jonson

2nd Legion - Lost

3rd Legion - Emperors Children - Fulgrim - Possessed, turned into Daemon Prince

4th Legion - Iron Warriors - Perturabo

5th Legion - White Scars - Jaghatai Khan

6th Legion - Space Wolves - Leman Russ

7th Legion - Imperial Fists - Rogal Dorn

8th Legion - Night Lords - Konrad Curze/ Night Haunter - Allowed himself to be killed by a Calidus Assassin

9th Legion - Blood Angels - Sanguinus - Killed by Horus

10th Legion - Iron Hands - Ferrus Manus - Killed by Fulgrim/ Daemon Fulgrim becomes

11th Legion - Lost

12th Legion - World Eaters - Angron

13th Legion - Ultramarines - Rouboutte Guilliman

14th Legion - Death Guard - Mortarian

15th Legion - Thousand Sons - Magnus - Killed by Russ to save his legion, spirit resides in Eye of Terror

16th Legion - Luna Wolves - Horus - Killed by Emperor on his battlebarge in battle for Terra

17th Legion - Word Bearers - Lorgar

18th Legion - Salamanders - Vulkan

19th Legion - Raven Guard - Corax

20th Legion - Alpha Legion - Alpharius (Twins)

why the f*** is Corax looking at porn?!

Anyway- if you listen to raven's flight, Corax is basically a ninja- in chapter's due, even normal raven guards and even techmarines can simply stand there, and even Telion doesn't notice them- Imagine what Corax can do- he brazenly walks straight past other marines and they didn't notice him!

**TyraelVladinhurst**

no he didn't, Corax is alive... sorta

**Kogwar**

he went into the eye of terror and also Konrad is much stealthier listen to dark king also alph legion they sneak past everything.
