For those unable to go to this link at work/school it is a reference to the new Black Library series about the Primarchs, starting with Bobby G. The blurb is:
Launch title in The Horus Heresy: Primarchs series, a brand new sequence of novels from Black Library.
Long before the coming of the Imperium, the realm of Ultramar was ruled by Roboute Guilliman, the last Battle King of Macragge. Even after learning of his true heritage as a primarch son of the Emperor of Mankind, he strove to expand his domain as efficiently and benevolently as possible, with the XIII Legion Ultramarines as his alone to command. Now, facing a rival empire on the ork-held world of Thoas, Guilliman must choose his weapons carefully – otherwise his dream of a brighter future could be lost forever.
I had had no idea it was coming!
Which Primarch are we most excited about? Personally I think Mortarion has a back story which desperately needs to be told. Sanguinus too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685641/8555401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685641/8555401.page GMT The Horus Heresy: Primarchs - New BL Series
My favourite Primarch is Curze but I am actually quite satisfied with his origins already. We have a wealth of books that detail his rise on Nostromo and several novels do flash backs to his earlier days and his deteriorating state of mind. Still, I'll eat up anything Night Haunter related.

I'll be interested in how the handle Alpharius as even the books that have focussed on the AL are told from multiple contradicting perspectives (including the forgeworld books) He doesn't even have an official backstory or home world. My guess is that it will go one of two ways; GW will drop some real bombshells and some big mysteries will be revealed, or they release yet more vague nods and winks and we all get fed up with the ridiculous levels of mystery around the 20th Primarch. I'm really crossing my fingers that someone at BL knows exactly what the Alphas deal is, and that its not just like the tv show Lost, where the creators just wrote in mysteries for the sake of it but never knew where they were going with it and eventually just left the audience disappointed when the writers couldn't deliver.

Well said - and that's my hope (and fear!) too...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685641/8555996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685641/8555996.page GMT The Horus Heresy: Primarchs - New BL Series

My fears mirror the Imperial Herald's fears, however I'd prefer them to keep it unknown, a la what Rick Perry had wanted for the Dark Angels' secrets. However, Dan Abnett said in an interview about Legion that the BL always had the Twin Primarchs down prior to him suggesting it. Their home planet doesn't really matter though, but some other tidbits about the Twins or the XXth prior to their arrival would be great!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685641/8560976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685641/8560976.page GMT
