Daemon primarchs

What in seven hells name are the surviving ones doing locked up in their fortresses in the eye of terror. Have they been sulking for ten millennia (only a century in the eye, i know). Seems a bit excessive, I understand Lorgar is praying, but after a while the gods themselves must just order them to go wreak havoc. I mean, they are daemon primarchs for christ sake, they are ridiculously powerful. Perturabo, Lorgar, Mortarion.....I'm looking at you. I know Angron got the idea and torched a few hundred star systems, but the ones who arent dead should get their act together. Even for the sake of their legions.

the main 4 god primarchs Mortarion, Magnus, Angron and Fulgrim are most likely distracted by 'the great game' in which the warp dietys are constantly fighting each other win the warp. But that would not explian Pertuabo or Logar of course but does explain why at least four are tied up.
Yeah I thought so, Perturabo has blatantly been throwing a ten millenia hissy fit, and Lorgar always did hate fighting, or doing anything productive for tha matter. After a while though the gods must just send them on their way, they didn't bestow their greatest honour on the greatest humans to have them sit in a darkened room and read flesh scrolls for eternity.

I agree with the OP. It has been something I've always had a problem with in terms of GW lore. Why would the most powerful entities in all of demon hood be content with never interacting with the corporeal world? I know Angron had his invasion and Magus was involved in some of the Space Wolf series but c'mon now. Surely the others want to get involved as well? If for no other reason than their own amusement or sense of revenge?

 

It just strikes me as bad lore that some of the most important figures in the history of the 40k universe have existed on an almost god like quality for ten millennia and with the exception of a single one have done NOTHING in that time. Doesn't it get a little boring on Fulgrim's world of excess? A little tired of wiping snot and gruel there on Muck World, Mortarion? Aren't your knees tired of praying to unfeeling gods Lorgar? How about you Perturabo? That demon world has to be out of Rogal Dorn stuffy guys you can punch in the face, right?

 

I'd kill to see as a result of the huge popularity of the HH series to see some primarchs return, both for the Imperium and Chaos, in the modern day setting.

Maybe when you become godlike, invading the Imperium seems quaint.

 

But if you look at it and IIRC.

 

Angron: Angry enough to invade.. Banished.

 

Mortarion: Also tried to invade. Roflstomped.

 

Fulgrim: Beat down Guilliman. Got bored? Abandoned his legion, is actually just possessed. Supposedly chills on a planet of infinite pleasure.

 

Magnus: Messed with the Space Wolves a bit. Banished. Also is more interested in knowledge.

 

Lorgar: Never liked war anyway. Stuck in Chaos church for 10k. Maybe writing his next book?

 

Perturabo: Favourite game is defense. Still Defending.

 

Alpharius: Dead? Alive? Missing? Guilliman?

 

Horus: Dead.

 

Konrad: Dead.

 

EDIT: Forgot my point. Yeah so a few have tried and failed. The others have their reasons. Looking at this it seems Fulgrim has done the most, and he's a daemon.

Yeah Perturabo, still defending from what exactly? I know the Iron Warriors were always a paranoid bunch, but he must shooting shadows by now.

 

Other legions and chaos warbands most likely. The traitor legions seem to enjoy shooting at one another just as much as they like storming Cadia. Not to mention that the legion has the habit of fighting itself once in a while, especially when Warsmiths have a dispute with one another.

Lorgar has been praying for 10 millenia. What exactly he has been praying about, we don't know.

 

Perturabo has probably been watching the Imperium for the correct moment to strike. However, he is waiting for thee perfect moment which isn't going to arrive until someone else does his job for him, sadly enough. He may just be waiting for the tyranids to become a big enough threat.

 

Horus is dead.

 

Mortation is more concerned about the Great Game than anything else.

 

Angron is doing his best to wreak havoc, and spill blood. However, he is considered so dangerous that a force is immediately assembled to deal with him as soon as he appears that he is repulsed relatively quickly.

 

Magnus is also doing his best, but he is attempting to focus on the Space Wolves, which have notoriously unpenetratable defences. He is also very concerned with the Great Game.

 

Fulgrim is distracted rather easily. He is a prince of Slaanesh, after all. I suspect the only thing that would focus his attention enough to get him to leave is one of the loyalist primarchs returning, as they promised they would.

 

Alpharius may or may not be active. Alpharius may or may not be a Daemon Prince. Alpharius may or may not have a second body (anymore). Alpharius may or may not be attempting to bring down the Imperium. Alpharius may or may not be attempting to protect the Imperium. Alpharius may or may not be dead. Alpharius may or may not be inside the galaxy. We really have no clue what he's doing.

 

Konrad is dead.

Mortation is a weakling - slave to the god of cowards. He's more concerned about the Great Game than anything else.

 

Aren't you the one who warned me not to belittle any Primarch ? Seems like you can't even uphold your own standards.

Fair enough. I'll correct my post - and thanks, I need the reminding, espcially where Nurgle and his servants are concerned.
