Primaris Blood Angels' Geneseed - Dark Imperium Spoilers

[sockwithaticket]

 

Experimental primaris of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 20th are showing no signs of problems including Chaos corruption.

Wow, hold up. Heretic Legions gene seed showing no signs of problems including chaos corruption? Awesome.

Well I'm sure the traitor legions gene seed didn't show any corruption originally either but the individual Marines still got corrupted as we all know.

Wait a second - Chaotic corruption is genetic? The traitor Legions were pre-disposed to turn to Chaos?! I never knew...

 

I think it's more that the corruption occurs at a genetic level once you start letting Chaos in, not that there's an inherent pre-disposition in the genes to corruption

[Pathstrider]

It's a nature Vs nurture thing: were the chaos legions predisposed to fall or was it circumstances (or both)?

 

No one really knows, so you can understand why Robute would err on the side of caution...

[Dont-Be-Haten]

I've always thought of a majority of traitor legions who followed the Primarachs didn't really know or realize what they were getting into until it was too late and they were tainted.

 

I wonder just how many special characters will take the upgrade. Only time will tell. Maybe we will just get cool new models.

I saw a video recently by tactical imperialis, who was saying that the thousand sons for example were predisposed to be followers of tzeentch from the very begining. Still I cant buy it. Magnus tried to warn the Emperor of Horus's treachery and by mistake broke the golden throne. The Emperor sent Lemus Russ to arrest Magnus, but was convienced by Horus to exterminate them instead. Magnus had to make a deal with the devil to save himself and his people. Everything looks too much happenstance if you ask me to be predestined.

magnus is supposed to have made a deal with Tzeentch right from the start, it was that deal that originally stopped the flesh change, although eventually it came back. The emperor himself was supposed to be at a loss on how to stop the flesh change.

Dante will be a Primaris I bet eventually.

 

It just makes so much sense for him to be. Especially if it gives him a new lease on life.

[dread05]

If that's what it takes to give us plastic models for Dante and co, so be it.

[Sun Reaver]

I can't wait to see it! I can't see them getting rid of him. Everyone loves Dante, everyone. 

 

I think whoever has the oldest models will become Primaris

 

Well played sir. Haha

They were not pre-disposed, Chaos just played at the vanity and flaws of the traitor Primarchs and coerced them into joining. Most of the legionaries, even a bunch of loyalist ones i might add, had the whole loyalty to Primarch over the Emperor issue, so it makes sense they just followed him.

 

Imagine if Chaos had succeeded on Signus Prime, Sanguinius would have become a Lord of Khorne. You could even argue that the Red Thirst makes the Blood Angels pre-disposed to following to Chaos, specifically Khorne. Sanguinius just happened to have more willpower than most. 

 

The only one I see being pre-disposed was Magnus because of the whole flesh change ordeal that was mentioned above.

Well, he actually almost gave in were it not for the sacrifice of an apothecary (?? citation needed?) who jumped in at the last minute.

Now that they've revealed the 3 new organs in Primaris, I'm curious about the third one that kicks them into overdrive when seriously injured or threatened. I know it has to recharge it's juices so to speak, but if a Primaris does in fact succumb to the flaw.....what's that thing going to do?

Oh that's right! Meros! Well, that furthers the theory even more.

Primaris Death Company with 2 wounds!

That kind of think would be perfect for that rule that Primaris and Company Ancients give where they make one last attack on death. If they gave that standard to all primaris, that would be interesting. Though would also defeat the purpose of the ancient but they can always give them something else.

[Sun Reaver]

I wonder what the primars chaplain will bring to the table. Primaris Chappy + Primaris DC + Primaris Ancient could be nuts.

 

I do think however that DC might be a limited choice because of the stability of the BA geneseed due to señor Cawl. It would make sense lore wise and perhaps even make the unit over-stated since it's a one of.

I kinda like the idea that it'd make them super powerful, but it causes the Primaris to overtax their body, leading to overheating/heart failure, etc, and death. So even more killy than standard Death Company, but something like at the end of each turn, they take d3 mortal wounds on the roll of a 4+, as they simply can't deal with the strain.
