BTW, Alex and Koschei/Nomus riding together in a Spartan - too risky to justify purely for a scene?

I think that sounds awesome, although the "riding in a Spartan" premise is a little iffy to me, mainly because I'm unsure if Primarchs canonically can fit inside a Spartan, let alone three of them, especially if Koschei is wearing that Terminator Armour of his. That said, Alex and Nomus are among the smallest of the Primarchs so perhaps they'd fit...

 

Regardless it sounds like a cool scene, I can picture Nomus filling in his brothers on the latest intelligence reports from Omnia Squads in the field via a holo-display from his wrist device while Alex and Koschei discuss their strategy. Also, is this the campaign Alex, Koschei and Nomus are on while the Prosecution is happening?

 

 

Well as far as I'm aware of game-wise, Spartans are the primary delivery method for Primarchs, outside of T-hawks or Stormbirds. They'll fit, they just take up a bit of room.

 

A Mastodon could probably give them some more breathing space, and would probably be a better command center.

Cool. Btw Tal, have you got any units for the Taghmata Abyssii in need of fluff?

Did you mean units with rules or?

 

Yep. Or military leaders who should be mentioned in the Campaign fluff, or even units you'd like shown off during same.

 

Just because of the constraints of the scene I want to write, I'm thinking out of transport, urban warfare (with AT-AT style walkers, Knights and other good stuff) with Alex and Koschei/Nomus sharing a moment before committing to a charge. I just need to decide what they'd talk about, and which Primarch would be more interesting to show in that situation.


"Brutal Raktra was one of the most vocal, calling the appointment a foolish mistake followed by claims that he would’ve been far more suited to the role. Despite whispered resistance and his own confusion, Alexandros would honour his father’s trust and threw himself into his new role. Several of his brother Primarchs would offer him their full support: Daer’dd, Gwalchavad, and Icarion."


 

This is a blurb on Page 16 of the Preview. It's about Primarch reactions to the Warmaster appointment. 

 

I'm unsatisfied with it. In the canon version, it speaks of Horus's own elevation and how he has the full support of Mortarion, Fulgrim, and Angron. Yet, a couple of lines down, it has Angron vocally criticize the decision. Not because of Horus, but because Angron counts this as the Emperor failing him. 

 

So, Raktra obviously mirrors Angron, but it's an odd list of supporters for Horus' promotion since it doesn't mention Sanguinius, taking care to mention the Primarchs in Betrayal. Alex's list might need to be tweaked, but I'm not sure how. If I should focus on the Book 1 Primarchs, do I only mention those who stayed on Alex's side, Daer'dd and Pionus? Or do I mention those who would ironically turn against him, Icarion and Koschei? Do I mix and match?

 

What do people think?

Mix and match, perhaps. At least a few Primarchs should have their loyalties relatively malleable.

 

With Icarion I think we should say he was inscrutable, never seen not to support Alex, but everyone is wondering how he's actually taken it.

Well, it's obvious from the canon book, that FW was trying to keep the spotlight on the Primarchs who debuted in Betrayal. That's why they only mention Angron, Mortarion, and Fulgrim. So, I'm wondering if I should likewise keep the spotlight only only the Insurrection Primarchs.

I don't think we should. Thing with FW was that everyone already knew the characters they were presenting so they could afford to skip character indicators like how they reacted to Horus becoming Warmaster in favour of keeping the spotlight on a few select primarchs. By contrast, nobody is going to really know the primarchs we're presenting so we can't afford to skip such character indicators in the same way

We are stars!!! Celebrities!!!

 

I would stick with SIG. Mention the other primarchs shows that there are others and give a glimpse in the universe we created. Concentrating only in those covered in insurrection would narrow the thing down.
