Of godhood, Primarchs and the future

[Hantheman]

The way I see it is both were heads of interstellar empires before the coming of the Emperor. That resonates me because the other loyalist Primarchs very much seem like warlords more than heads of empires. They both as well assumed leadership roles in the Imperium. Dorn during the Heresy, Guilliman after until his enterment in stasis, and Dorn again at least till the 3rd Founding and maybe his disappearance/death.

 

I think the Lion and Russ coming back is a given. Assured even. And I’m not assuming it would be all hugs and handshakes between either of them or Guilliman. The Lion doesn’t trust anyone. And I would assume his primary focus would be the fallen army building across the great rift. I hope it’s a conflict that becomes a more overt thing, considering the lack of communication in the region and the more chaotic things are there. The Lion is admittedly a great commander. That’s clear. I think he would be considered the King beyond the Rift, but I think Dante and the Blood Angels would be doing the heavy lifting as far as keeping hope alive while the Lion fights a shadow war and keeps mostly to himself. Russ, man I just don’t know about Russ. I think he would focus more on his legion, his sons. Maybe I’m wrong on both of these counts.

 

The only one other that those two or Dorn I think has a chance would be the Khan. But he, in my mind, is another warlord type Primarch. But he also kept to himself and his sons mostly.

 

Am I wrong? Am I missing character points in these other primarchs. It’s not that I don’t like them. I like all of them somewhat. But Dorn and Guilliman come off as not just commanders, but political figures as well. Now in this age Warlords are needed for sure. I just feel most of the primarchs who could return would have personal quests or vendettas that would take precedence over the direction of the Imperium.

 

Yeah I think you're on the money there. The age of warlords fits the narrative perfectly.
