Draeden Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I figure I'd come to ask you all as I'm still early on in the Horus Heresy series (only started book2 yeasterday), but this has been stuck in my head since about half way through Horus Rising. Which Primarchs were psykers and what would be the rough agreement of who is stronger than who? I'd assume Magnus is definitely a psyker and the strongest of the primarchs in that field. And I'm willing to believe that Horus was a psyker as well in some degree in order for him to have fought the Emperor in both the Warp and the Materium during their fateful clash. But what of the others? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172504-of-primarchs-and-psykers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Horus was not a psyker. After he was possessed and infused with power from all the Gods however he became close to a full Daemon which means he would exist naturally in both planes at the same time. Those we know were Psykers are Magnus, and to some extent Sanguinius and Kurze, as both of the latter constantly saw visions of the future.

Draeden Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ah, had no idea that Horus got juiced up instead of daemonic pacts... damn, and he seemed so nice.... I feel bad for him now along with Magnus and Konrad.

Chapter Master Gabriel Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 It was to my understanding that all the primarchs were psykers to some degree. Where as Magnus, Sanguinius and Kurze developed their powers - the others did not and left them latent.

Sons of Horus Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 They all probably had psychic potential but only Magnus, Curze, and Sanguinius were the more evident psykers.

Novak Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yeah, each was created to to exist as individual parts of the Emperor, correct? Like, if you combined all the Primarchs into one person, it would be the Emperor. So that must mean that they all had some sort of pysker abilities to a degree, but only a few (such as Magnus) really developed them.

How can I find out which part each primarch represented? It's just something I thought I picked up on in the book False Gods. I'll have to get my copy and look through it again to see if I can remember where I drew that from.

Valinov Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm not 100% on Konrad Kurze but both Magnus the Red and Sanguinius were touched by the warp and mutated. Sanguinius developed his angellic wings and Magnus recieved his third eye. This would prove that their psychic powers were developed upon abduction from Terra. Magnus the Red was the only one, as far as I know, to seek to develop his Psychic skills even further by delving into lost and often forbidden knowledge, this brought on the wrath of the Emperor however.

Grey Mage Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hrmm... well as I recall the Primarchs didnt need Navigators to travel the warp, though of course there werent enough of them to guide whole fleets. Thats a particular subset of psycher is it not? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172504-of-primarchs-and-psykers/#findComment-2048839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonsword Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 It is, although the Navigators are pretty heavily mutated as well, and their specific mutations aid in navigating through the warp. They're really a more a set of abhumans from the impression I get of them in the Dark Heresy material.

Dammeron Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 There are suggestions in the fluff that all of the primarchs have some degree of at least latent psychic potential. During the siege of Terra, there is a moment in which Sanguinius and Angron share some form of psychic communion before the latter orders his forces to attack (though to be fair he has been touched and transformed by the Warp at this point). Those that manifest evident psychic potential are: Magnus the Red, Konrad Kurze (A.K.A Night Haunter) and Sanguinius. Lorgar also seems to later develop some profound sorcerous powers via his communion with the Dark Gods, though whether or not he had any psychic potential before is open to debate.
