What source says "Russ" was spotted leading the 13th Co. during the 13th Black Crusade?

Also it says "a giant of a man in baroque armor" in stasis within Trazyn's galleries... This could simply be a regular Astartes in an older mark armor, no where does it hint to be a Primarch but I can see where someone would jump to conclusions.

If it was just a normal marine it isn't worth mentioning. Giant man in SM dex has to be HUGE.

I'm sure not even GW knows who the hell he is.

It was the Necron Codex, not the Marine one

Yeah, it's probably just a plot hook.

Im suprised that no-one has mentioned the two missing primarchs and their legions (most likely they dont have a legion)
I mean everyone has talked about certain primarchs having the possibility of coming back and that others are certainly dead but no-one has mentioned "what if the two unknown primachs were discovered?"

Because they were sanctioned and killed.

Maybe.

It has been all but flat out stated to have been the case. They wouldn't have been stricken from all Imperial records if they were simply missing. So even if they were alive and they did return, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Imperium.

They are referred to as "The Lost" and "The Purged". They probably aren't in a condition to return.

We don't know the specifics, is all I'm saying. Even the traitors and heretics weren't stricken from Imperial record, so there's something more to it than "they were bad".

Still, we'll never find out. They could be dead, they could have been killed by the Ultramarines as part of a conspiracy (which the Emperor was in on), they could have had really inglorious deaths (falling down the stairs, etc). Anything is speculation, though, and GW will probably never reveal anything (if there even is anything to reveal; the whole thing feels too much like it was to cover up some accident in fluff-writing, or perhaps a GW writer who has since left had ideas but told no-one).

TBH, I think it was to provide players with options for "mystery primarch" that could be either Loyalist or Chaos.

I have the same impression.

Not necessarily. If you think of it as a checklist, then the stricken from the record fits perfectly. 2 primarchs and their legions did something, possibly different somethings, to anger the Emperor. Emperor has them eradicated, and then stricken from the records. The traitor legions were never destroyed, so they wouldn't have been stricken from the records yet. You don't cross an active target off your list after all.

EDIT: But I understand your point about everything just being speculation anyways, we really don't know what happened to them.
