From all the 40k audios I've listened to, 1 was purged and the other lost; there is also suggestions that the 13th legion aka the space smurfs rank swelled in the aftermath, so that puts physical mutations out of the question.
I would imagine 1 being a fast talking manipulative and egotistic beyond Fulgrim. The other being manipulated, shamed of its doing and commits suicide.

Let's not go down that road of "Ultrasmurf's ranks swelled...." and all. We'll not only be here until kingdom come disagreeing (not to mention we'll be repeating every Lost Primarchs/Legions thread since the inception of DakkaDakka haha).
Big Mac wrote:I would imagine 1 being a fast talking manipulative and egotistic beyond Fulgrim. The other being manipulated, shamed of its doing and commits suicide.
The first one sounds possible, but the second one not-so-much to my mind. It seems highly unlikely (if not impossible) to me that they would commit suicide. If it got to the point where a Primarch became so enveloped with sadness that they would even contemplate that, I get the feeling that one of the Chaos Gods would try to manipulate said emotions and turn them.
I don't think this is particularly plausible (although it's - to my mind - well within the realm of possibility), but I always thought it would be cool if one of the Legions survived and, with the aid of factors such as incredibly small size for a Legion, remained hidden from the Imperium well beyond its borders (i.e. well outside the reach of the Astronomican). In such a case, I'd imagine their Primarch would have qualities of stealth and concealment similar to that of Corax and the Raven Guard (with the possibility of similar colour schemes).

My head canon is that one was a brilliant Naval commander, like Nelson, because that is a huge, glaring gap in the capabilities of the primarchs currently and I don't think the emperor would have overlooked it. The second was probably a physician, biomancer type dude, as that was a huge part of who the emperor was, and none of the listed sons have that attribute.

I wasn't going to comment on yet another 'Lost Primarchs' thread - but I do like Silverthorne's ideas. It's said that the Imperial Fists had the largest fleet out of all the Legions, but they've also got the whole 'Siege/Defence specialists' thing going on. In lieu of that, it would be totally plausible to imagine a Legion dedicated to fleet actions and possibly something along the lines of an orbital strike/compliance specialisation. As for the actual Primarch - I can imagine his favoured weaponry would be some sort of breachershield/power weapon combo for fleet actions. Perhaps the legion would have a preference for Terminators and Breacher units? I'd imagine these guys would be 'The Lost' - perhaps their fleet was destroyed in the void, cut off and annihilated...
As for 'The Purged', I like Silverthorne's idea of the other Primarch embodying the aspect of the Emperor who was a master geneticist and biologist. Perhaps the legion dabbled to much in biological experimentation/use of biological warfare and were purged as a result. Of the two ideas, I think this would be the weaker one as the Death Guard already fulfill the role of the Legion that uses all sorts of nasty chemical/biological weaponry. Similarly, Mortarion has the whole bio-hazard thing going on.
Nevertheless, I like those ideas Silverthorne!

I think that's a good angle. One "lost" in the warp during transit, and one whose legion delved too deeply into biotech and became devolved monsters. The latter being the one that the Space Wolves were ordered to destroy.

Silverthorne's idea is great, though I think following that thinking maybe a chapter based off handling large scale casualty issues. Say... three chapters together fighting an enemy in dire straits and said missing chapter backs them up in a catch and retriever dead or wounded sorta deal. An apothecary / EMT themed chapter to support the 'epic' front. Primarch that's an Apothecary would be pretty interesting.

According to me I picture them as a Thunder warrior and a Costumes or Assassin.
The purged and the forgotten.
Purge can mean extermination or it can mean cleansing.
Forgotten can mean many different things as well.
The Thunder Warriors where the first version of space marines
and the emperor purged them because they where his SA to his SS.
The Assassins are similar to space marines and very powerful,
and they are lost, they are forgotten.
If they have to be space marine space marines,
I would like primarch spot to be given to the Emperors shadow , the Japanese themed Space Marines.
Also A Space Marine chapter with the flaw that they can think for themselves
because their hypnoconditioning fails.
Especially a chapter that wasn't a monastic knightly order but rather organized
as a heretical secular army who see the Emperor as a man
and see weapons as just tools.

I see them as representations of things missing from the Imperium/Emperor's "gestalt". Each primarch represents a facet of the whole. i.e. Lorgar is "faith", Guilliman is "reason", Angron is "loyalty", Vulkan is "humanity/conscience", Curze is "justice", Saguinius is "divinity" etc. Now, some of these traits are horribly damaged upon inception, partially because the Emperor, who is the root of all of this is all kinds of screwed up, and some of it is because the primarchs were damaged by their formative years (see Cruze's warped take on "justice"..and then look at how justice is actually administered as the Imperium develops, Curze's malady of justice infects the totality of the Imperium). Others, while whole and undamaged, are unable to substantially affect the Imperium: Guilliman's great successes and the numbers of his get hold great sway in the frighteningly over-organized and over-reasoned Imperium, while the humanity Vulkan's and his progeny represent barely influence the Imperium at all. Some primarchs represent something that doesn't serve much of a purpose in war (I see Perturabo as "idealism" or "hope", for instance), and this (as in the case of Perterabo) doesn't end well as Perterabo's hopeful and idealistic outlook, represented by his dreams of a utopia and the models he builds, are slowly crushed out of him, turning him into the vengeful, bitter, hateful primarch we're familiar with.
I've been trying to puzzle out which facets of the gestalt are not represented by any of the primarchs and aren't really represented (at any time) by the Imperium. Things that 1. aren't even hinted at and 2. would cause the Primarch's to do something so horrible they and their legions were erased from the records. Unfortunately, due to how fethed up the Imperium and Emperor are, this means that the two missing primarch's probably represent more noble aspects of the human condition.
I don't think either of these primarchs or their legions were lost or influenced by Chaos (short of the whole Legion and the Primarch getting swallowed by the warp and never seen again...but if that happend, why the dictate to never speak of them again?). If they had been corrupted by Chaos, they other primarch's and legions would surely have known something about it. By the time the HH rolls around, they're all still totally/mostly ignorant of the threat of Chaos, even Magnus. So...no (direct) Chaos involvement.
One of the facet's I'm pretty sure is missing is the "diplomatic" facet. There really isn't a legion that fills that roll. Arguably it's a part of any functioning person or society that MUST exist. You've got to be able to empathize with others and talk to them on their terms/in a manner they can relate to. We never see the Emperor do this. We never see the Imperium do this. Oh, they occasionally try, but the result is usually a farce of some kind or another. This facet of the Imperial gestalt is actively forgotten and worked against most of the time. The only diplomacy is at the end of a pointed gun in which there really is no conciliation or compromise to be had. One of the missing primarchs was meant to be the representation of the "diplomacy" of mankind, of its ability to get along with others, especially "different" others. Obviously, this part of the Imperium vanished very early and never came back. This primarch would be a warrior diplomat. Not charismatic ("charisma" was Horus' facet) per say, but a skilled negotiator, someone who was inclined to seek a solution outside of violence. Frankly, this primarch viewed using force as a last resort and, when it came to utilization of force, he would frequently view that use of force as a failure. This primarch would be a believer in the just war doctrine. Obviously, he didn't really fit in with his brothers and the speed of conquest of his expeditions would be extremely slow,to the point of grinding to a halt when he found a decent, just, and functional human society that didn't want to join the Imperium. This primarch wouldn't have invaded such a society, or, if he did, he'd regret it immensely every time. This primarch would have been very much against the xenocide perpetrated by the crusades.
I haven't come to a strong conclusion about what else is missing. I've been considering "exploration","mercy/conscience" (separated from humanity),"truth", and "individualism" (though a strong case can be made that Kahn does represent individual freedom) as possibilities (feel free to chime in if you've got any ideas!). The crusades aren't about exploration and discovery, they're about reclamation and subjugation, there obviously isn't much mercy or conscience displayed by people acting in the name of the Imperium, just about everything is secrets and lies, and individuality isn't valued or encouraged at all. I'm currently leaning towards "truth", because, man, "truth" not something the Emperor does. This primarch would deal with big "T" truths
In my mind, the unforgivable crime committed by the 2nd and 11th primarchs was contained in a astropathic communication to the Emperor: "Father, we cannot agree with your goals and your methods. We will not partake in them any longer. We are taking our fleets and making our own way, outside of the light of the Astronomican. Those who did not wish to come with us, who proclaimed their undying loyalty to you, can be found on [insert name/coordinates of planet where they were left...adequately supplied...these primarchs wouldn't maroon people without the ability to survive]. Please do not punish them for our actions. We are sorry. We leave you in peace. Should we meet again, we hope it to be in peace as well."
They simply left. Their absence (removed from the Astronomican/the whole of the Emperor), removed their influence from Imperium/Emperor, making it an even less diplomatic and exploratory/merciful/individual entity. An unforgivable crime. They will never be spoken of again. The loyal followers of the Emperor left behind by the 2nd and 11th? Never picked up by Imperial ships. Left where they were.
The Emperor provided no explanation. He just (lied and) proclaimed that they had been purged and that they were to be forgotten. Taken together, they were purged and forgotten. A few primarchs know the truth, but they also know they're not EVER supposed to talk about it.

What kind of delusion are you on? The space wolves have been hinted heavily that they were the instrument of purging one of the primarch and his legion. Make your own story as you wish but keep the official fluff as a guide, like Russ let them go/exile/fake death etc.
If I were to make a lost primarch, he would be like Patrick Stewart of Star Trek, a diplomat and naval commander; deign lost by the emperor as he loves Xenos and cannot purge them as the emperor intended, thus he is exiled outside the imperium.

Yeah. It's hinted at. Then they walk it back a little with the Night of the Wolf. It may very well be that Russ wiped out one legion, and the other one left/survived/never actually came to be.
Maybe they both left and Russ (Emperor's wrath) chased them half-heartedly, didn't catch them, and came back with a "Yeah...I took care of them, we won't see them again." Who knows?
I see we're in agreement about Picard the primarch, though.

I'm sticking with my head canon that one of the Primarchs ended up on a world inhabited by some disorganized Blood Axe Orks. Being the umie loving gitz that Blood Axes tend to be, the young Primarch was able to smash enough Ork face to eventually become the Warboss of the tribe and then the planet. Eventually the Emperor arrived on the world to collect him but was displeased to find him surrounded by still living green skins. After promply beating the young Primarch in one on one combat he took his fierce but "misguided" son along with him to collect his brothers. The Orky Primarch quickly proved to be both a mighty warrior in combat and a quite the thrill seeker who never backed down from a challenge or shy away from even the most risky of actions. His Orky upbringing caused rifts among the Primarchs as he was quick to fight his brothers and belittle them for being "a bunch of gitz". The legion under his command quickly devolved into a bunch of fired up (and often drunk) astartes constantly fighting each other and beating up the other astartes to steal their weapons and armor. What started with generally unruly behavior quickly devolved into looting worlds, modifying their weapons and vehicles to make them more killy, and even launching full on WAAAGHS!!!! against other Legions over petty issues. The Emperor on numerious occasions was forced to drop what he was doing and stop the Orky Primarch from beating up his brothers and to keep the Legion in check. Eventually the amount of bosspoles, "kustomized" powerfists, and one particularly bloody argument over if the Emperor is Gork or Mork broke the Emperor's last bit of patience and with a heavy heart he called for Leman Russ to head up the defeat and execution of the Orky Primarch and end his self named "Astorktes". After the dust was settled most of the Astorkes where dead and the Orky Primarch slain. The remaining members of the legion where absorbed into the Ultramarines as the discipline and over the top adherence to the rules by Ultramarines would be a good influence on the now bewildered former astorktes. This whole incident was a huge blow to the Emperor who felt such sorrow at the lose of his child and caused the Emperor to become more cold and distant to his remaining children. Record of the Orky Primarch and his Legion where purged from the records to both erase this embarrassment from the history of the Imperium and to remove reminders of this painful loss. From then on it became an unspoken but harshly enforced rule that all Astartes are forbidden from saying the word "Git".

Love the Naval Commander or Picard style Explorer Primarch. Lost on the outer edge of the known galaxy.
My idea of the purged Primarch being that the Emperor shows up on the planet and finds his Son has become a Rock Star instead of a leader, living the life of a debauched celebrity rather than a general. The Emperor pulls an epic face palm, leaves and declares an Exterminatus, decreeing that it should never be spoken of again. You know like that one sibling that no one ever talks about at family gatherings?
Or maybe the Primarch survives and forms a rogue legion called The Black Sheep.

I'm going to go with one of them being very naughty and being killed by the Wolves and the other one getting lost... in the warp ... or a lost cause as in "not prepared to take part in the Crusade" or some kind of Alien sympathiser.
But probably just the more simple. lost in the warp.
Let's not over complicate thing eh? BL aren't going to reveal what happened so it's probably just a simple explanation.

Eventually the amount of bosspoles, "kustomized" powerfists, and one particularly bloody argument over if the Emperor is Gork or Mork broke the Emperor's last bit of patience and with a heavy heart he called for Leman Russ to head up the defeat and execution of the Orky Primarch and end his self named "Astorktes". After the dust was settled most of the Astorkes where dead and the Orky Primarch slain. The remaining members of the legion where absorbed into the Ultramarines as the discipline and over the top adherence to the rules by Ultramarines would be a good influence on the now bewildered former astorktes. This whole incident was a huge blow to the Emperor who felt such sorrow at the lose of his child and caused the Emperor to become more cold and distant to his remaining children. Record of the Orky Primarch and his Legion where purged from the records to both erase this embarrassment from the history of the Imperium and to remove reminders of this painful loss. From then on it became an unspoken but harshly enforced rule that all Astartes are forbidden from saying the word "Git".
You just hurt my ribs so bad, up until the thoroughly hilarious part about arguing if the big E is Gork or Mork you pretty much described how most chapters view Leman Russ and the Space Wolves.

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

Given that they never planned to reveal it, I doubt they even have anything prepared (i.e. even they don't have an explanation as to what happened to the two Legions and their Primarchs). But let's be honest: It is a bit of fun speculating what might have happened or trying to logically deduce it from the information we have

I imagine one coming back into modern 40k, clad in all armor all scorched black so the original heraldry is destroyed, his body burning with ethereal fire, bones visable through rends of his plate...
Hey, it would be cool that the Legion of the Damned had a primarch.

"MAKE IT SO!!!" would also be a staple war cry after an order is received.
