I dont remember, but I think in "Tales of Heresy", in the story of how the Warhounds found their primarch. Kharne was thinkning about how much the other legions had changed when they found their primarchs, they fought with purpose and stuff. I think he lists a few of the other legions that found their primarchs before them. I think they had found Dorn because they talked about subjugating the planet full of worms, and how somebody used machinery to build defences on a tiny strip of land. Only one I know who builds great defences is Dorn...

you saying perturabo and the IW dont build great defenses? or did you just forget about em?

They don't build great defenses they smash them.

Which is a bit ironic if you think about it. The IW rule a series of Fortress worlds.

I suppose that is the indirect consequence... i mean... well when your life is destroy fortress after fortress sooner or later you'll realize what are better build, what are hard to reach, where can it have weak spots etc etc... you are learning all this facts while you destroy it, siege is nearly a science for itself

No I don't think it was perturabo. Primarch's name was rather short...

When I look at the times the Emperor really pushed some of the primarchs away, is when he wasn't being a father.

Honestly, no matter how they tried to turn it around, reprimanding Magnus and Lorgar was not a father son thing. It was an Emperor reprimanding a General. He was not their father, they never really had a father. Yes, he could pretend, and mabye even believe he was, but the Primarchs were tools created to lead weapons.

I think it was just a matter of time. The relation that Emperor tried to have with the Primarchs could never have lasted. Given enough time the wanna-be father/must-be leader frictions could have even pushed Russ or the Lion over the edge. It just so happened that Horus and the others had shorter fuses, and Angron's was lit from the word go.

As a name it is. Alphie the Alpha Legionnaire? It sounds like a D&D characters someone would make when they're 10 years old.

This is really OT, but I must say, your signatures are awesome. Do you make them?

Thanks, yeah they're mine, I did most of them a while ago but just restarted with all this high tech MS paint stuff.
