malorn24 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 As the title suggest. If you could pick to have a 5 book mini series of the Horus Heresy as seen through a certian Primarch's eyes and some great back stories which would it be and why?

Wulfkry Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Curze, his madness would make for a remarkable read if done by the right author. Porbably ADB. If not curze then maybe Alpharius/Omegon, but then that might all get to confusing....

Brother Captain Lucian Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Horus to explain his fall.. just a wee bit more in depth. Curze. As explained above.

Prefect Apollyon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The Alpha Legion being my favourite, it would be through Alpharius/Omegon's eyes. It would be insightful to say the very least. Otherwise Jaghatai Khan and his "screw you" attitude would be fun to see. Don't really know what they got up to until the Siege of Terra. Or the Lion. Would quickly get depressing though. I'll get my coat.

librisrouge Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The Lion. So much of him remains unexplained to me, plus the DA are an interesting bunch in that era.

Green Knight Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Horus. What we've seen of his fall thus far has been pretty weak. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283834-through-which-primarchs-eyes/#findComment-3531701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malorn24 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 My favorite Primarch is Dorn but I think that would get boring up until the Siege of Terra. I like the Lion but he gets depressed way to easy. So maybe Khan would be fun as well as Vulkan.

DuskRaider Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Mortarion. He's a very elusive figure, but I have a feeling he would have a great inner monologue with his views and whatnot. Especially after his encounter with the Khan at Prospero, he seems to be struggling with his loyalty to Horus' cause.

Dumah Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The Lion. So much of him remains unexplained to me, plus the DA are an interesting bunch in that era. This. He's arguably the most mysterious Primarch in that we know practically nothing of what goes on inside his head. Although, maybe that's better kept vague and mysterious.

Iron_Within Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Purterabo would be one for me, we see very little of his inner monologue throughout the series. Angel Exterminatus reveals a lot about him but I'd want to see further back. Alpharius and Omegon, Vulkan and Curze would also get my vote.

jifel Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I feel like Mortarion's fall needs an explanation. I feel like his whole thing is "well his first captain was already evil. And he never really liked the Emperor anyways." But I'd enjoy Perturabo the most of course, because he's my favorite.

Deathwatch/Grey knight Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Mortarion cause to me he's a bit of a cant think of the word but remember in a thousand suns that he takes the same amount of steps within steps I want to know why he does that Alpharius/omegon I wanna know what planet they landed on I wanna excactly how he broke into horus flagship and where was omegon at the time Honestly I want 16 short stories on all the primarchs life before the emperor came cause we've seen a bit of lorgar and most of the lion and yet a bit of curze yet I wanna see more I wanna see through the lions eyes what he thought when he saw the emperor and why did he betray Luther cause to me all the primarch father figures were either good like dorns or guillimans and evil like mortarions and lorgars yet to me lions the only one to betray his I wanna know why And we need to see through the emperors eyes more Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283834-through-which-primarchs-eyes/#findComment-3532103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveNYC Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Mortarion. He had one of the more interesting lives prior to meeting the Emperor. Otherwise I second the notion of a series covering the pre-Emperor lives of all the Primarchs.

Tonal Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Vulkan, his humanity combined with his struggle too control himself would make for an interesting and relatable point of view.

Kais Klip Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Alpharius and Omegon; not because of my preferences but because them having eyes across the galaxy wools give the series a broad scope to cover, and give is a peek into the shadows of each respective legion. To contrast with that: Dorn, for his insights into his fellow brothers.

To contrast with that: Dorn, for his insights into his fellow brothers. As much as I love Alpharius and Omegon, I wouldn't ever want to be inside their head; that would ruin their mystique for me. I like that we continue to have to guess at their motives and wait for the next bombshell to blow our minds.

I like that we continue to have to guess at their motives and wait for the next bombshell to blow our minds. Aye not as much as inside their heads, rather only through their resources, an account towards a chronicler perhaps. Again, this is simply because of the chance to give a remark on as many legions as we can, combined with the bitterness or suppressed jealousy to uncover the shadow in each one (much like Angron's musings). An all-seeing eye that highlights the bad, or rather less ackowledged angles of each legion. Stuff like "The guiltless Lion carries himself so nobly, but I know what he did to my second brother, and Magnus writes what nest of creatures he really consorts with". It's why I was so dissapointed that Horus' deathbed confessions were never published. True or not, we need more angles on the nineteen. Looking at you, MoM.

Sevatar Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ferrus. So far he has been portrayed as a short sighted fool. I would rather like that angle to change, to say the least. Also, the Iron Hands have some fascinating backstory - how they evolve from the Storm Walkers to the brutal machine of the Great Crusade.
