The Emperor's Champion Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yes. You're the ONLY ONE. Congrats. You have found a way to be unique.:tu: Not much beats a giant wrench when it comes to giving a glorious beatdown to some heretic fools.

Hobo Willie Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think everyone thought he used his bare hands because that's what he used to kill everyone when he came to power on Nostramo. I'd imagine after he took command of his Legion, he used any number of weapons to get the job done. Lightning Claws, swords, axes, carrots...who knows.

I think we can all agree that the Primarchs used whatever weapons they needed to finish their job, with some having prefered weapons. Like Lion El'Johnson and the Lion Sword.

Lord Balok Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think we can all agree that the Primarchs used whatever weapons they needed to finish their job, with some having prefered weapons. Like Lion El'Johnson and the Lion Sword. Greetings. First post on TB&C. Concerning El'Johnson and the Lion Sword; it was actually one of the last knights admitted to The Order (the warriors who ruled Caliban before the Emperor arrived) who carried the Lion Sword. I can't remember his name right now and the book is packed away. However, he fought and killed the last of the Calibanian Lions (which was actually a particular breed of chaos-twisted creature, one of many that infested Cailban prior to the Lion's pogroms against them) and the Lion Sword was forged from one of its fangs. During the Pre-Imperium and Pre-Heresy days, one member of the Order (and subsequently the Legion) took the name of Lord Cypher and was tasked with remembering the rites and traditions of the Order/Legion and making sure that they were followed. The warrior with the sword is obviously going to become the Cypher of the 41st millennium since they both have a preternatural ability to avoid danger and death... and it's actually a low-grade psyker power that is unique to the character and was deemed stable and safe by the Legion's Librarians. I just can't remember his darn name...... :D: The rest of the story will be revealed in the follow-up book concerning the Dark Angels which is due out later this year.

Marshal Rohr Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 The Fist of Dorn was one of Dorn's weapons, he also used a finely crafted chainsword and a power sword. He took the power sword aboard Horus flagship and broke it over his knee, and pieces of it form the heart of the Sword of the High Marshals. I believe Horus also wielded a sword on occasion and not always his Lightning Claws.

Unguis Raptus Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Night Haunter had at least a bolter and a pair of gauntlets with retractable lightning claws as he gave both of these to Sahaal the claws were called Unguis Raptus or raptors talons.

Sons of Horus Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 although it would seem appropriate for Night Haunter to use twin lightning claws it would be sooooo much cooler if he used his bare hands ;) and since no fluff says otherwise I believe he used his bare hands ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163114-weapons-of-the-primarchs/page/2/#findComment-2035442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chaplain Darius Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Sanguinius' sword has never had a name, it was a Runeblade given him by the Emperor. It was basically a big ass sword, on fire. It really brought home the whole avenging angel aspect of him. The "Encarmine" is from a bad black library novel, and the Spear is as well. I've played since early 3rd ed, and I think it's kind of annoying that everyone always has to have some crazy named weapon. In my opinion, it kind of detracts from the character, and one of Sanguinius' best aspects was that none of his gear made him all that special, he was just a bad ass. I'm a primarch. I have wings. I have a sword, it's on FIRE. I'm Sanguinius. You're :(:ed. +EDIT+ I love the wrench. In fact, I think he should fight with an off-hand powerbat with a nail through it. The wrench should have something awesome on it like "You gunna git WRENCHED" or "Your ass here!"

Sons of Horus Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 actually 2 Primarchs went missing. Alpharius and Omegon only count as one primarch (Alpha Legion). there were twenty legions and each had its own Primarch Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163114-weapons-of-the-primarchs/page/2/#findComment-2039606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensis Ferrae Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 As far as i remember, in Fulgrim, Corax had a sword (there is some speculation as to when he made the Raven's Talons that Captain Shrike uses now) Also, in fulgrim, Ferrus tries to give Vulkan that master crafted flamer that was shaped like a dragons head, but he felt that he could not accept a weapon that was forged for his own brother.

andyundivided Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Vulkan - Spear Of Vulkan? Gauntlet Of The Forge? Interesting, as Codex Space Marines lists both of these as weapons either being created and/or used by Vulkan, so its a pretty good guess that it was either one or both of these. My moneys on the super-mega-death-kill-mashing of both! I'd love Vulkan to come back and go to He'stan "Dude....you've got these things completely wrong....THIS is how you use it...."

I just can't remember his darn name...... :cuss: The rest of the story will be revealed in the follow-up book concerning the Dark Angels which is due out later this year. Lion El'jonson battled a Calibanite Lion by himself in his youth, he was one of the few members of the knightly orders to walk into such a conflict and return with his life. The Lion Blade I believe was forged from one of the Calibanite Lions fangs. When you say one of the last members to be initiated to the Order could you possibly mean Sar Zahariel? He is the main character of the book 'Descent of Angels' and also he encounters and slays a Calibanite Lion. I believe a similar story goes for his weapon, forged from one of it's fangs. There are scarce details on the Lion Sword itself, this is what I could dig up: "The Lion Sword is the great sword of the Primarch of the Dark Angels, Lion El'Jonson. The sword was broken in antiquity and lost. It is now rumored to be carried by the mysterious Cypher who seeks to reforge it and present it to the Emperor of mankind, obtaining absolution and forgiveness for the Fallen." I believe that the Lion Sword and the weapon Sar Zahariel (Now Brother-Librarian Zahariel) wield(ed) are similar although different in size. To edit what I stated above, Sar Zahariel and Lion El'Jonson are the -only- two individuals on Caliban who have ever slayed a Calibanite Lion. I've dug up some information on the lions which might help the investigation about the Lion Sword "Calibanite lions are the most fierce and deadly of all the great beasts of Caliban. Of all the heroes of their time only Lion El'Jonson and Zahariel have ever killed one. Their name comes from a mane of razor sharp spines around their neck. This is the only real leonine feature aside from being quadrupeds with paws. Each paws claws are as sharp as knives and are incredibly deadly. They have two lethally sharp enlarged teeth protruding from their top jaw as well as a natural armored skin that is able to patch itself and shift where needed. Calibanite lions also have orange eyes with reptile-like slitted black pupils. As is with all the great beasts of Caliban they possess an almost unworldly intelligence and seem to enjoy causing suffering. They can also shirk off pain and wounds without second thought."

IronFather_Midel Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I don't think ferrus' hammer was called forgebreaker, I think that was Peturabo's hammer. Actually, the one doesn't contradict the other. It went like this: Forgebreaker is crafted by Fulgrim Fulgrim gives it to Ferrus Manus. Fulgrim steals it from Ferrus. Fulgrim gives it to Horus. Horus gives Forgebreaker to Perturabo to convert him. Perturabo kicks butts. thank you for clarifying that for these guys. now if some one would have stopped McNeill from changing history, Manus might still be alive Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163114-weapons-of-the-primarchs/page/2/#findComment-2048324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the Stig Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 See? Giant wrench FTW! Wasn't Khârn the one with Gorechild and Gorefather?
