Hi guys im very knew to this site but Iam a big warhammer 40k fan and I have created my own lost Primarch and i have attached a picture of how he looks like. I based him as a aztec warrior type his name Monte Cazuma and his homeworld is Akbit which is a planet that is 20 times the seize of Terra and its a jungle world which has a nasty Ork infestation. The twist to this Primarch is that he has a split personality disporder ala Edward Norton in Fight Club where he thinks the voice in his head is the voice of the god of hunting A Tabai and his adoptive mother Zuma who found him when he was a baby is the High Priestess of the religion which worships A Tabai and because of that she belives that he is the prophet. His story is still a work in process but i wanted to share my creation with you guys. I commission this picture from a digital artist who had work for Games Workshop back in the days

Indentation and punctuation... Use it.

I like him and his back story. Some interesting conversion opportunities with the Lizardmen range I would think.

At least try to be constructive?

I actually like your background story for your primarch, although the only thing that bothers me is the planet size. Gravity is pretty much what defines our shape and growth, I'd find it difficult to believe that anything but abhumans would exists in such a high gravity world.

Cool idea.. but why a Primarch? From a fluff perspective there are no *lost* primarchs so it makes no sense a new one just popped up. The Emperor made 20 primarchs, found them all on random planets then later had to destroy 2 of them.

There isn't any room in the fluff for random primarchs. Why not just be the founding chapter master or something like that? Gives you actual flexibility and believability.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but the two "lost" primarchs being destroyed seemed to be pure conjecture from the books (i.e. no definitive proof one way or the other). Plus, perhaps in OP's own fluff, one of them survived and leads chaos/renegade space marines. Possibly even have a 30k army whose basis is what that legion was like prior to their primarch's (and their own) mysterious ending.

That was mostly the reason that GW had those two be unknowns in the first place, to foster people's imaginations about things exactly like this. As for the planet being twice the size of Terra, that seems highly unsuitable for human life (excluding abhumans as Zewarth has said.) Though with enough imaginative fluff anything is possible

It's actually officially stated that the fate of the 'lost primarchs' is unknown.

And to the op. I think the aztec theme was met with the previously existing Rainbow Warriors. But GW got rid of them probably cause they had...an odd name and color scheme for marines.

Erm, slight technical thingy here is all...

I think you're confusing dissociative (sp?) identity disorder with some sort of psychosis involving delusions and hallucinations.

The Horus Heresy books are offical canon :p The rumor of the 2 lost primarchs is only really in the 40k rule book. Anyway, no reason to really get into it.

I didn't mean that the books were conjecture, I meant that I don't recall there being anything in the books about it other than rumors being whispered by people, or some primarchs being very vague about it
