Which primarch is next? Or will it be two?

And what about Celestine? Or the Sanguinor? It's all the same thing.

 

If the Warp can transform entire worlds, flesh and metal than the Emperor can resurrect one individual. In Dark Imperium it's even stated that the Emperor has more psychic power than prior to his apotheosis. Also people have been resurrected in the lore on multiple occasions, and I'm not talking about Guilliman.

 

"A surge of power issues from the Golden Throne and on distant Baal the body of a giant stirs inside his sarcophagus"

 

 

That would be perfectly acceptable.

 

For a child's make believe, yes. 

 

 

Well any story sounds dumb if it summarized in like 20 words. A good writer could build a great story filling one or more books based on that premise tho.

Or realistically judging an idea's merits. Sanguinius being resurrected is stupid. It would be like resurrecting Horus for the... third time? I've lost count because of how many times Horus has been resurrected. It becomes cheap and meaningless. Thankfully ADB tried to put it to bed, but then Fulgrim was apparently cloned. So you are right, we are in an era of terrible narrative choices that need good authors to fix them. Sadly, Sanguinius won't be one of those. 

 

 

 

I think there will be 4 on each side eventually. The 4th loyalist being Dorn or the Khan

The problem with Dorn is that he doesn't really bring anything different to the table. How in game terms would he really separate himself from Guilliman? Oh boy a super duper gun line buffer dude! Oh he gets 6 extra dice against buildings! Wooohooo

 

The Khan would be the far more interesting choice. The problem is, I think the writing is on the wall that they are setting up for Sanguinius too be resurrected.

 

For GW it makes a lot of sense to give the main four codexes Primarchs. Giving DA and SW their primarch and the two for codex marines, while leaving out BA would not be a smart sales/ marketing strategy.

 

The Khan and Vulcan would be far more interesting and are already setup to return. But GW is going to make the sales choice: they will change what happens on the Vengeful Spirit at Terra through the BL novels and then resurrect the Sanguinius giving each major marine faction a Primarch.

Which writing on which wall?

 

 

Seems to be based on "But if the Space Wolf, Dark Angel and Space Marine codexes all get Primarchs, that means Blood Angels would be left out".

 

 

The writing on the wall that Black Library has alluded to the events on Terra and the Vengeful spirit being different than what we thought they were. (Basically they are probably going to retcon some of it). It's also been mentioned that Sanguinius was never stated to be 'dead dead'. Someone stated his body was in stasis just like Guillimans.

The issue with the resurrection of Sanguinius is ..... the Black Rage!

 

Do you remove the black rage entirely now that the BAs are no longer seeing Sanguinius' death at the hands of Horus?  Or do you 'tone it down' to just after shocks* as it were?

 

*like they've already had preminitions of it during the HH novels when the blood thirster took Sanguinius down

They use Sanguinius genetic material to activate their geneseed. They've handled his body, and Horus choked him to death. He was dead for a long period of time before he could've been placed in Stasis. The Black Rage isn't going anywhere. 

We'll see what happens once the final HH book is released. Could be some revelations. Either way, I'd love to see his resurrection.

 

GW, if you are listening, I will collect a full BA army if Sanguinius is back in 40k. Others will probably do the same.

To be fair, I'd love to see a 40k Sanguinius model as awesome as a Daemon Primarch. He's the one loyal Primarch that could have a similar presence on the table thanks to his wings. That doesn't influence my opinion about his resurection tho. I'm fine with him dead and I'm fine with him being resurrected. I just don't want the event in the HH change. He still has to die against Horus. ^^

Ferrus is DEAD

Alpharius/Omegon are DEAD

Kurze is DEAD

Horus is DEAD

Sanguinius is DEAD

The spirit of Ferrus appeared to the Iron Hands after the Heresy and promised to return. Alpharius is confirmed dead on Pluto, but Omegon is not - one inquisitor who couldn't prove the veracity of the information and who is now suspected of being an agent of the Alpha Legion provided evidence of a battle on Eskrador that even the Ultramarines, who were supposedly there, deny happening.

BL confirmed that both the AL Twins are DEAD, one killed by Dorn, the other one by Guilliman

We already have a topic for discussing who players think the next (?) primarch will/won't be, so I've merged the topic started yesterday about how it won't/shouldn't be the Lion with the existing topic.

 

It's not the same - but considering the thread immediately turned into people talking about other Primarchs than the two I named and ignoring my post anyway, you're probably right!

Black Rage doesn't have to be removed. The damage is already done, his suffering and pain were real.

 

Expand this further. Who was the recipient of that damage? The primarch... so it wouldn't be "realistic" if he didn't suffer the Black Rage at least half the time.

I know about the one on Pluto by Dorn, but you'll have to provide proof they confirmed the other one at Guilliman's hand. First I've heard of that.

Well he didn't suffer from the Black Rage.

 

The Black Rage itself is the emotional state of Sanguinius leading up to his battle with Horus, imprinted on his sons. This doesn't have to change. I also expect Sanguinius, should he return, to be a darker brooding figure as a result of past experiences.
