His fire sword while in ideal is cool is pointless, having a sword that can heat up to help the cutting edge cool. A sword that is set on fire blinds you while you swing it.

I'm sorry, for a moment I thought you were criticising His sword



But there's no way you'd give us a reason to call the local friendly Commissar, right?

I like the fire sword personally. Since when did 40k become about practicality?

Funny looking at that classic depiction of the Emperor Sanguinius and Horus. None of them are really 3 and a half times larger the then marines in the room. I mean if the big E is only marginally larger then a marine why is RG SOOOOO fething huge?

Because the guys next to the emperor are custodes (specifically their devastator equivalents).

Not only that, check out the "CSM" next to Horus. He barely reaches his waist.

Not sure why this is directed at me, though.

It isn't, I'm quoting you AND adding another proof of the Primarch's height sorry for the confusion

Custodes are in 40k and they are not That much larger then a terminator, definitely smaller then centurions. Also the CSM is well behind Horus, but yet again perspective eludes the greater community of Dakka

that csm is in the distance that's why they gave him a fade out effect. The custodian standing next to the emperor is on the same bearing tho.


Also anyone else find it weird that they are called custodians and he ends up on the golden throne?

What, just as the custodes is behind the God-Emperor and the Custodes in front is not even on the stairs? Perspective works "both ways", bud.

Um, you can't see the entire bottom 4/5 of the custodes in the foreground sooooo not sure what your saying I guess your just bolstering my argument ;P

Is it possible that RG is wearing a mech suit. The original rumors were that he would be in a Dreadknight type contraption. If that were the case it would explain why his head looked way too tiny. It might also explain why the legs were so fat at the bottom and weirdly curved.

I still don't like the filigree... it's a mess

Whatever happens with this, I just hope we get a cool Cypher novel that explains his whole story.

I want to know something guys


will Roboute have authority over the other chapters

for example would Blood Angels listen to him over Dante?

Yes.

Yes.

but a Chaos Space Marine veteran of the Long War might be able to beat Roboute yet, since he has been in stasis for about 9000 years

the CSM have possibly more experience than Roboute?

No, a CSM wouldn't be able to beat Guilliman. A truly exceptional one like Abaddon I could possibly see, but a Primarch would absolutely take a CSM.

Can we please limit the nonsensical questions in this thread, and try to stick to actual News and Rumors about "The Gathering Storm Part III: Rise of the Primarch"

Never mind

Shouldn't take long with his ability to grab 10 at a time.

has there been any spoilers in how Calgar reacts to Roboute's return?

I thought he was like Magnus, able to alter his size at will? Although some of the Primarchs saw him differently from the others, as a normal human if I remember correctly?

They will all listen and obey their spiritual liege.
