Weapons of the Primarchs?


Recommended Posts

gorechild, while big, always seemed to me to be too small for a big burly primarch. We know Angie used that big ole axe that was on the Furious Abyss, though I don't remember what it was called, and the naming convention of Gorechild seems to indicate that somewhere lies a Gorefather. Although I hope that wasn't the name of the axe in that HH book. Therefore, I believe that Angie prolly used daddy axe and lil Kharny had kiddy axe.

 

Now, Vulkan and his pair of hammers, blacksmith style...that's hardcore.

You are correct, sir. There was a Gorefather. IIRC, Angron was running around with both Gorechild and Gorefather, which is basically Gorechild times ten.

Sanguinius - Spear Of Telesto, Blade Encarmine?

 

Blade Encarmine was what I've understood for about 10 years.

 

Ferrus Manus - giant wrench

 

Forgebreaker is correct, as well as his iron hands.

 

Fulgrim - Fireblade or Laeran Sword

 

Pre - heresay, Fireblade, Post heresay, Laeran blade.

 

Jaghatai Kahn - Giant falchion

 

I believe it was Moonfang, now used by Kor'sarro Khan

 

Corax - Raven's Talons maybe?

 

I believe that is correct.

Roboute Guilliman - Sword Of Guilliman or the Gauntlets Of Ultramar (post-Heresy)

 

Sword of Guilliman

 

Rogal Dorn

 

I believe it may be both the Arrow of Dorn SB, carried by Pedro Kantor, and the Fist of Dorn TH, used by Lysander.

 

 

Leman Russ - Spear Of Russ, a Frost Blade type sword, a Relic Blade type weapon, Bolt weapon

 

The Spear of Russ is the right choice.

 

Night Lord - Lightning Claws probably

 

Unknown

 

Lion El'Jonson - Lion Sword

 

Bingo

 

Vulkan - Spear Of Vulkan? Gauntlet Of The Forge?

 

You forgot Kesare's Mantle, and Vulkan's Sigil.

 

Mortatrion - Manreaper, Lantern

 

Yep

 

 

Angron - giant chain-glaive/pole-axe

 

Gorefather and Gorechild

 

 

Magnus The Red - Chain-khopesh

 

Unknown

 

 

Lorgar - Accursed Crozius

 

Unknown

 

Horus - Talon's Of Horus, giant mace

 

Talon of Horus

 

 

Perturabo - Forgebreaker

 

Not until after Istvaan V.

 

Otherwise, Unknown.

 

And yes, I realize that GW retconned a lot of my info. I had to go back to some second edition books to look up and get the info I posted.

The following aren't guesses unless I put a "?" next to them.

the emperor gifted Russ with his frostblade, but i forgot the name of it at the moment...

 

the spear of russ didnt exist till the ragnar series, and was more of a trophy weapon than a weapon of war.

There is no official line as to whether Black Library fiction counts as official canon.

What weapon did Night Haunter use?
His hands is the most commonly described, though he would use whatever was available to him, like for example the glaive/halberd he took from a slain Phoenix Guard in the short-story: The Dark King. He also used his Psychic Powers there. (yes!)

well, not a primarch, but magnus isnt exaclty known for his HtH skills is he? ;)

 

and it was a weapon of war, i stand corrected, but not one highly valued by Russ. in the series its later related that Russ lost that spear multiple times, and eventually left it on Garm.

 

WLK

Yes. You're the ONLY ONE. Congrats. You have found a way to be unique.:P

Not much beats a giant wrench when it comes to giving a glorious beatdown to some heretic fools.

 

The lost Primarch Freeman of the Half-Lived used a master-crafted crowbar said to be of epic proportion. I guess that could give the wrench a run for its money. ;)

OK this is bothering me. Angron started out with his HUGE axe(don't know what its called) Then later sometime don't know when he got GOREfather AND GOREchild, witch Khârn later acquired don't know how but it is now in his possession.

 

All that's known is this:

 

1. Angron's preferred weapon as a Primarch was the chain-glaive or a pair of chain-axes, reports vary depending on source. More than likely, the chainglaive is the true answer.

 

2. After his ascension to Daemon Prince, Angron used a monstrous daemon sword of Khorne at Armageddon prior to his banishment back to the Warp.

 

3. Khârn's given fluff states that he created Gorechild using the teeth of a mica dragon he slew in single combat. Since he's not recorded as having Gorechild at Terra when he supposedly "died", it's assumed he crafted Gorechild after the Heresy. I can't find anything to support the theory that Angron made Gorechild.

I too find the whole wrench thing annoying, I find myself wondering why it was on there. Also, Ferrus used his bare hands, which were made from some unknown substance that enabled them to move like real hands, but be as hard as he needed them to be.

 

Now, if he found a truly awesome wrench (not that puny thing in the picture) that would be awesome. Until then, it's annoying.

 

Where are people getting the info that night haunter used his bare hands? There is little to no fluff on him, soo...

I'm a primarch.

I have wings.

I have a sword, it's on FIRE.

I'm Sanguinius.

You're :ed.

 

I'm Horus...... so much for those wings.

 

 

I just finished Night Lord so I'm going with night haunter using the retractable lightning claws. On the same note... they are retractable. So he could have the claws and use his bare hands.

Sanguinius: Spear of Telesto, Blade Encarmine

Rogal Dorn: Bolter, Sword of Dorn (broke it over his knee when couldn't protect emperor, late reforged into Sword of the High Marshals)

Rouboute Guilliman: Gauntlets of Ultramar, Blade of Ultramar

Jaghatai Khan: Never detailed, up to you.

Magnus: Chain Kopesh

Horus: Talon of Horus and power maul

Ferrus Manus: Forgebreaker, later the 'giant wrench' (after Fulgrim nicked Fbreaker)

Fulgrim: Fireblade, Laeran Sword

Leman Russ: Spear of Russ, Freki and Geri (thunderwolves) and his Sword, which was forged from a kraken's tooth.

Vulkan: Presumably Spear of Vulkan-it is an artefact of Vulkan, though it is never described as being specifically his. Background and wording sugest this though.

Perturabo: Forgebreaker, which he later gave to a Warsmith. Warsmith promptly dies and it is returned to Iron Hands. Before he was give Forgebreaker, unknown.

Mortarion: Manreaper, Xenos pattern energy pistol

Corax: Unknown-he never actually used the Raven's Talons

Angron: The chain-axe Brazentooth. Later replaced by Gorefather and Gorechild. Later replaced by runesword. Later replaced by Angron's Black Blade. Gorechild given to Khârn.

Lorgar. Artwork indicates bolter and a type of crozius arcanum.

 

Hope that has cleared it up.
