Implications of potential Primaris gene-seed losses


Recommended Posts

The issue of the Black Templars, Primaris, and Librarians is being discussed here.

 

Let's keep this topic on the general issue the Primaris gene-seed and the implications to a Chapter if any of the organs are lost.

If they some how lost the ability to make a compatible Magnificat, then the Chapter wouldn't have Primaris any more. It's unclear whether the Sinew Coils are actually an organ somewhere that generates the new fiber bundles or they are just implanted (they are called an organ, but nothing says "this implant grows the coils" or something like that, giving the impression that the durametallic coil cable might just be implanted). The Belisarian Furnace, while being deemed a Primaris organ, doesn't specifically seem to actually make them Primaris.

 

If the loss of function of other organs didn't stop classic Marines from being Marines, then the loss of anything except the Magnificat should be acceptable for Primaris. It's the Magnificat that truly differentiates Primaris from classic Astartes.

Read spears of the emperor. There's a part when someone goes through the rubicon. Using non primaris geneseed from him after the rubicon. Would simply result in the implantation of the two organs at the same time as geneseed implantation in whoever gets his. That geneseed would probably grow a full set for future generations

This thread seems to be more of a vehicle for OP to complain about Cawl being a Mary Sue.

 

The second post answers the question

"The tension for Primaris isn't really any more or less than for classic Astartes (which wasn't much in the first place), they still have to guard against gene-seed degradation, especially those on the Nihilus side"
