im asking this because lore wise the grey knights don't exist and all that find out about there existence are killed or mind wiped so that's why my question stands would the emperor trust them enough to tell them.

I'm dyslexic and thus am bad at spelling and grammar please don't remind me in comments to my posts.


The flesh tearers really like killing so much. In fact they may love it more than inquisitors.

Macador created the knights errant during the HH, the knights errant suppose later became the GK in 40k. As if the primarch knew of them, idk, perhaps some of them did, no marine can kill a primarch, only another primarch or above can. Yes I'm aware that curze supposedly did, I'm still holding on hope that he didn't.

By the time the GK are a secret chapter, the big E is on his death chair, most of his sons are dead, missing, turned traitor.

Pretty sure Robby G knows about them, as he is privy to lots of secrets. Also fairly certain a lot of the demon primarchs know about them, as the GK probably go after them.

The Grey Knights are also mostly inactive until the War of the Beast so the only Loyalist Primarch still active is Vulkan. I wonder how much the Traitor Primarchs know about them.

Guilliman will do. The High Lords of Terra will be aware of their existence.

Angron got his ass kicked by the Grey Knights, so he probably knows quite well about them

All of the primarchs knew about the knights errant by the time of wolfsbane. As for the current era, yea Bobby G knows about them, he fought along side them on more than one occasion.

the Knight-Errants are quite different from the current Grey Knights though, in nature as well as in function.

Not inaccurate though.

As to the state of the GKs in 40K, yes, any surviving Primarchs would likely know about them. Seeing as certain Space Marine Chapter Masters (Dante, for instance) are allowed to know of their existence, it stands to reason that any Primarchs would.

I'd assume that Chaos Primarchs likely have ways of knowing, but I'll be damned if I can find a reference for that.

Mortarion and Angron have directly faced them, as far as we know. Epimetheus was, IIRC, supposedly delivered to Fulgrim by Abaddon after his capture on Pandorax. So that's at least three references of Demon Primarchs (+ Abaddon) knowing about them.

GK fight daemons, preeeeeety sure the traitor Primarchs would know about them from the daemons themselves, for starters.

Mortarian and Angron sure as heck know about them. As for whether Rowboat Girlyman knows about them after waking up from his nap is not clear. I assume he would know about them since Inquisitors directly answer to him now.

Most Primarchs were gone when the Grey Knights appeared.

Space Wolves and Dark Angels know about them so once they return Russ and the Lion will know as well.

Magnus has faught them, if Magnus gave a damn or not has not been mentioned.

I don't break the rules but I'll bend them as far as they'll go.

He also traveled pretty extensively with a Grey Knight Grandmaster (Voldus).

If some chapter masters know then I'm sure the Primarchs knew, Guillaman obviously knows.

I stated it was just a bit of trivia, I wasn't saying it was relevant, so make of that what you will.

THIS...I mean did nobody read the Gathering Storm Books? For the Emperor's sake, Voldus was originally sold in the same box as R.G. and Cypher...

Spoiler:


this explains why the GK didn't get Primaris then .. didn't know about them in time for Cawl to put in an order for a few thousand in the oven
