Russ' Psychic Howl/Magnus' Fire Punch


Grimtooth

Recommended Posts

Fulgrim didn't so much melt a Titan with his mind as use sorcery, something that can be learned without psychic abilities*, to ridiculously mutate the flesh of the crew members to monstrous proportions and bring down the Titan. Something out of a bad anime almost.

 

*of course, all Primarchs are psychic in some sense

Best list of Otherworldly powers used by Primarchs(Sanguinius' wings excluded):

Curze's foresight: Night Lords IA article, Lord of the Night, Night Lords trilogy, Short Story Savage Weapons in the Age of Darkness anthology, The Dark Tower.

Curze's telekinesis and some sort of "hiding in the shadows" ability: The Dark Tower.

Corax's "hiding in the shadows": Deliverance Lost, Fear to Tread(Page 93)

Ferrus Manus' extreme forging abilities: Fulgrim, IA article

Magnus' Sorcery and Psychic powers: Where isn't it mentioned since that would be a shorter list?

Lorgar's Psychic potential/manifestation: The First Heretic, Aurelian

Fulgrim's Sorcery: Reflection Crack'd

The Lion's Psychic Force Field: The Lion(Go figure)

Mortarion's ability to never feel pain: Fear to Tread(Page 93)

Khan the Stormtalker: Fear to Tread(Page 93)

Sanguinius' Foresight: Fear to Tread, Blood Angels IA, etc etc(Really, do you need a source for this one?)

 

Now, these are sources that I know for a fact mention them and are 100% verifiable. You will notice that I have supplied specific page numbers for the Fear to Tread references, that is because(unlike Sanguinius), those powers are listed on just that one page and even then are described as RUMORS within the novel. That and the novel is relatively a new source.

Lorgar being poor man's Magnus.

Most notably in Aurelian.

 

You confuse me, sir. Which part of Aurelian? Is it the part where Lorgar's psychic anger reaches Magnus halfway across the galaxy? Or the part where Magnus talks about how strong Lorgar has grown? Or the part where Lorgar and Magnus are the only primarchs to psychically see that Fulgrim is possessed? Or the part where Lorgar's psychic power threatens Magnus's manifestation? Or the part where Lorgar threatens Magnus not to pry into his thoughts again, and Magnus backs down and complies?

 

Was it those parts of Aurelian that convinced you he was a "poor man's Magnus"?

 

 

Oh please...... you are inferring that Lorgar is somehow a match for Magnus psychically?!?!

 

Never in a million....

No, I'm not, Captain Punctuation. All I said was that he's not a Poor Man's Magnus. Context, dude.

You know, I'm starting to wonder: Did Angron ever have psychic capabilities, or did the Butcher's Nails somehow blunt them from manifesting? Or was Angron's ability limited to possibly kinetically enhancing his blows or biomancing himself into surviving titan blast weapons?

Every single primarch had some special ability/ mutation that set him apart from his brothers Magnus was a beast of a Pysker, Valkan (spelling) was just hard too kill he got angry and smashed a land raider. Russ is said to have this howl thing going for him, Logar is learning to be a :angry: the lion is the dogs with a sword but get slapped about by Curze because he was caught out, Corax (spelling) has his stealth, Sangunius has wings can see into the future and is nails in a fight and it is explained many times in the heresy series that all the other primarchs look to him. the other Primarchs may not have a huge quirk but they have something Horus was strategist and a charismatic leader and was able to understand the strengths and weaknesses of an enermy.Dorn was totally intractable once set on his course and would never ignore and order but also knew when to fight and where to defend. Guilliman was THE strategist who held the Imperium together after the Heresy. The other Primarches do have something that sets them apart it's just a case of waiting for the Black library to get around to them if you want the Stat line crunching then Forgeworld's Heresy series will keep you happy.

 

So guys chill out and relax they got this.

 

Valkan ( tales of heresy)

Corax (ravens flight)

Sanguinius(fear to tread and other heresy books)

Russ (A thousand Sons)

Magnus (40k lore known fact)

Horus (Horus rising)

Dorn ( white dwarfs and mentions in other heresy books)
