All the Primarchs had a particular style of fighting that passed down to their Legions. Like how Dorn defends and how Perturabo likes to rip defenses down. Curze likes to use terror tactics while Alpharius and Omegon prefer misdirection.

So as the title asks, what do you believe to be the 2 missing Primarch's style of combat was? How would they set about doing it?

**SoloFalcon1138**

Obviously nothing successful, as they are now missing.

**Mellow**

Conkers

**SoloFalcon1138**

maybe wild punches and kicking people while on the ground?

**Kroothawk**

The two missing Primarchs are there, so that every gamer has room to invent his own one. So their fighting style is whatever you like.

**Super Ready**

At last - the perfect thread! I can now safely reveal the identity of the two missing Primarchs, and in doing so impart their preferred style:

**shamikebab**

One used exclusively spoons.

**SoloFalcon1138**

or maybe, they used the power of positive negotiation and discourse.

**CthuluIsSpy**

Mass bear cavalry charge.

The Space Wolves later on stole that tactic from them.

**kronk**

Chaotic.

**Farseer Faenyin**

More than likely one of their doctrines resolved around stealing Intellectual Property, probably from the Ultramarines. So they were eliminated by GW.

**SagesStone**

Meatgrinder and orbital bonbonbardlement.

**Kain**

Being really Angry and really Pretty.

**PredaKhaine**

One used pointy sticks, the other used tubes of superglue and rabid hamsters.

@the OP

I've always enjoyed this line of thinking - starting with the thought that there seemed to be two primarchs for every role.
If you can work out the pairings, you could possibly guess what the missing primarchs specialised in.
If you put that question to Dakka - you'll get an argument ending ultimately in a collective 'we've no idea'.

Search through Dakka - there have been a lot of similar questions

100% this. Still really want an Angry Marines army some day.

I think the 2 missing Primarchs "fighting style" was a attempt at emulating the most successful war fighting stratagems in the galaxy.

One was designed to be Brutal, but cunning.

The other was Cunning, but brutal.

But such incredible knowledge is not for human minds to fathom..so they imploded. or ead'banged.

**curran12**

Jazzercise and Zumba.

**SoloFalcon1138**

Tai Chi?

**Unit1126PLL**

One utilized the powers of Chuck Norris, an ancient STC.

The other utilized the powers of Bruce Lee, a weapon designed to counter the Norris.

They fought on the same side of a crusade once.

There's a reason they are missing.

**a fat guy**

Perhaps such defining characteristics are why they disappeared?

Hmm, what would be such a terrible attribute that warranted getting "dealt with"...

Maybe one of them was actually touched by chaos in some way? Mutated horribly... and they enjoyed it?

**Amoras**

They where pacifists, the emperor can't have children wo dont wanna go around the galaxy killing everything.

**djphranq**

Wu-tang and Shaolin

Bring da ruckus!

**gnoise**

I like where this thread is going.

**Veteran Sergeant**

Drunken Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

**Peregrine**

The first one's fighting style was entirely pragmatic, making heavy use of orbital bombardment and long-range shooting instead of a bunch of screaming guys with chainsaw swords. The primarch went missing because ending every battle in 30 seconds of nuclear war was ruining the books.

The second one's fighting style was based around the elite of the elite. The primarch went missing because an elite of the elite army doesn't sell enough models.

**LoneLictor**

The first missing Primarch punched with his feet and kicked with his hands. Well it was far from pragmatic, most opponents were caught so far off guard that they simply sat down and died.

The second missing Primarch was a pacifist. While he was being beaten up, he lectured on how we're all one, because 'we're made of matter the same way tornadoes are air, different currents but all the same, man'.

Dear lord Kroot, stop spreading that outdated nonsense!

To the OP it is an interesting discussion trying to find what archetypes the two missing Primarchs would have filled.

**purplefood**

Break dancing and Interpretive dance.
The Interpretative dancer was trying to understand chaos through the medium of dance. He was expunged and his dancing was for nought.
The break dancer tried to rebel. He was expunged and his dancers were killed. Those loyal were folded into the Black Legion. (Plot twist!)

**Avatar 720**

One wrote bad slashfiction and distributed it amongst the enemy.

The other one drew lots of MLP hentai and distributed it amongst the enemy.

They were ultimately each others' downfall when the MLP one discovered the slashfic writer had stolen one of the MLP pairings and made it his OTP, and so the MLPer stole one of his slashfiction pairings and started drawing hentai of it.

Their legions eventually committed suicide due to embarrassment. Some say that the Primarchs never noticed and continue to wage war against the other in this way to this very day.
