so i was wondering a few questions about the primarchs. first if they are all clone sons of the emperor how come they all look different and none of them look like the emeror exactly like a clone would.
also why are they not all powerful phykers that chaos would not touch them with a lightyear long pole like the emperor. and finaly what hapened to the the missing primarch, we know what happened to the other missing one because horus went back into the past and started pokeing the glass on the incubation champer cracked it and realized he killed it and walked away. so that leaves one primarch unacounted for, so what happened to him or mabey even her. so start pitching your fluff now.


go

Your spelling hurts my brain.
OK... the Primarchs are NOT clones. They, like every other human, presumably had both the Emperor's DNA and some from another source.

so that makes another question, where did the other half of the DNA come from
also i have no idea how to use a spell check to give me the right spelling on this forum and spelling is my worst subject, sorry.

Your use of vernacular kills me. Go download Mozilla. It has spell check on it. You'll see a red line under stuff when it's wrong and it'll let you fix it.

As for the primarchs I know nothing. But one of them is unaccounted for so people can make up their own Lost Chapter and still be relatively okay in the fluff line of things.

well im using firefox and i shows the red line but i do not know the corect spelling sometimes. as far as the primarks im guessing that the emperor used DNA from his most trusted advisors. for example i would bet that magnus is a combo of malkidor and the emperor so who else would the other 19 sets of DNA come from, now is the point where we create caracters to match the traits of the primarcks. im going to guess that the other half of fulgrims DNA is female, he just seems so bloody efeminate.

All that anyone "knows" is that the Primarchs were created....that is genetically constructed from a basis of the Emporers genes....hence the reference by the Primarchs for the Emporer as "father".

The "whys and where-fores" have been left blank, probably for two reasons, 1. a lack of genetic engineering knowledge on the part of the GW design team, and 2. to create a mystery for us sad people to spend time speculating over.

In logical terms, however, it would be stupid for the Emporer to create beings more powerful then himself, for many many reasons......

lol the whole lost primarch so we people that make our own chapters can say our leader is the lost primarch always made me laugh. so according to that idea theres really like 10,000 primarchs as a decent guess. i know im making up a primarch for my SM chapter.
