“We know that Horus is the best of us, of course, because whilst he himself would never utter such words, he has of course done nothing to stop them from spreading. To each of us, we are our father’s favorites, but if Horus had his wish, we would most certainly concede the issue.”

- to Leman Russ

“There is, I fear, some mistake, Brother. It was not my intention to impress or embarrass you, but to do what needed to be done. You asked me to take the city, I did. You criticize that my ‘overly complex plan’ did work as intended. The enemy withdrew, you say. But I took that city without firing a shot, and tomorrow my men will eat them alive. “

- to Roboute Guilliman

“I appreciate love of one’s livery and legion. But that… that is a bit much. This is the man you trust most to lead this infiltration? An infiltration behind enemy lines. Are you certain?”

- to Konrad Curze upon seeing Sevatar’s helmet

“The truth is that all Primarchs lie. I am no more guilty of this than any other. You know me as well as any man could. Would I lie without purpose? “

- to Malcador

“You are utterly out of your depth here. You are drowning in the depths. A company of amphibious Astartes could not rescue you. So they brought me here. And they asked me to help you. And because the depth is not your fault, I shall do just that. Because you are a capable man, I shall teach you how. Because your deeds are enviable, I shall ask you to teach me in return. Show me to your men. Let us prove to the Galaxy that the Imperial Army’s roar is not a mere whimper when compared to the Legions. Let us make them remember to -fear- your ranks.”

- to Field Marshal Ireton Mesade, Agrippa Compliance

No one ever talks about this part in the Imperial bible

[jinian-ginias]

'Had I my time again, and freedom from fate’s chains to act, I would never have become Konrad Curze. Konrad Curze was a betrayer. An unbeliever. A lunatic, but worst of all, father, Konrad Curze was weak. Night Haunter was strong.'

Request from one chat, the first meeting of Lorgar with the brothers XD Request text: "The first brothers Lorgar met were Magnus and Sanguinius, whom he mistook for an angel and a demon. And therefore he, as a religious man, studiously ignored them, so as not to show his father that he was hallucinating, despite their friendliness and some resentment for being ignored"

[shadefish]

so a year or two ago I decided to do my own set of designs for the Primarchs. I never finished it but, here are the unfinished designs I did do!

[askmalal]

“I have, as you put it, already bestirred myself. I am exercising the practical: destruction of enemy forces whilst avoiding unnecessary casualties. Would his eminence care to bestir -himself- and get his blue ass moving on the left flank?”

- response to Roboute Guilliman at the Siege of Panto

“This is not war. This is madness.”

- observing Angron’s tactics, Liberation of Nuceria

“You are good man. But your casual bitterness toward the Terrans in your ranks is unseemly for such a man, my friend.”

- to Corvus Corax

“Rig incinerator charges throughout the grand archive. If they fail to move as we’ve requested, ignite one charge for every five minutes of delay. If that won’t convince them to move, nothing will. At the worst, they will believe the insurgents have done it.”

- at the Sesostris Compliance (possibly referencing his allies in Legio XV.)

“I would never consider worshipping such a thing. I would aspire to a… higher calling.”

- when exposed to an alien Warp Cult for the first time.

“I have begun to grow tired of the purple. Perhaps a deep midnight blue? A turquoise?”

- contemplating a change in XX Legion Livery

“No matter what you see, hear, observe, know that every action we take ultimately serves Terra and the Emperor.”

- Address to XX Legion, M32

Primarchs' Canon Voices

I don't think enough of us have heard the canon voices of the Primarchs so I made a supercut of all of them from the Horus Heresy: Legions game trailers and 40k cinematics.

(might have messed up a couple but I have them solid for the most part)

[jinian-ginias]

You don't know the things I dream. No one does, no one ever cared enough to find out.
