#on the primarchs

[askmalal]

The Primarchs and their Brothers, Part XII continued.

1. The Lion:

“What practical use (aside from suicidal stupidity) that the Emperor has for my brother is beyond me. It would be a mercy to give him peace.”

2. [Redacted]:

“He could have been the greatest of us. He might still be if he were given the proper care.”

3. Fulgrim:

“He knows nothing about the art of war. And yet, he is a master of its application.”

4. Perturabo:

“Anger management issues.

5. The Khan:

“He deserved better. He deserves better. His sons are exceptional soldiers.”

6. The Russ:

“And they have the temerity to call -me- the barbarian.”

7. Rogal Dorn:

“His sons hold a wall with exceptional determination, and can be relied upon to do their duties, even if they prefer a more aggressive stance. Their father, however…”

8. Konrad Curze:

“Run.”

9. Sanguinius:

“He has taken to calling himself an angel. I believe this is evidence of a sense of humor. The man is by no means stupid. Not by any metric.”

10. Ferrus Manus:

“He has an exceptional grasp of armored tactics. He is a master of close assault with heavy infantry, for that matter. His negatives do not outweigh his utility as an ally.”

11. [Redacted]:

“There, but for the sake of the Butcher’s Nails, goes Alexander. Here, but for the sake of a loving father, go I.”

13. Roboute Gulliman:

“He understands the theoretical, but cares nothing for it. “

14. Mortarion:

“He calls what I do cowardly murder. I call what he does considered butchery.”

15. Magnus:

“That mind…. That mind…. is it broken? Or rebuilt to the originally intended purpose?”

16. Horus:

“My brother is a capable warfighter. Little is credited to his resilience… if he were not mindful, powerful of will, supremely intelligent… then what is called a tragedy would long ago have become an atrocity.”

17. Lorgar:

“The Emperor has a fondness for dogs, it seems. You would think they might get on better, wouldn’t you?”

18. Vulkan:

“It is not so much that he does not care, as much as it is that he cannot care.”

19. Corvus Corax:

“Another liberated slave. I do not pretend to know why the means of his liberation was chosen as it was.”

20. Alpharius Omegon:

“He is what is needed. Our enemies are sometimes brutal monsters. To defeat a monster, you sometimes need one of your own.”

Fulgrim with consorts

Since he's the only primarch who has been married -multiple times, prolly simultaneously- I think it's not unreasonable to imagine him freely enjoying the company of women once he got more power to devote himself to the enjoyment of all things beautiful ,,,

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!

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)

The Primarchs had Their Brothers, Part XI continued.

I. The Lion:

“I did not always agree with him, nor even approve of him. But he was my brother, and I trusted him. Such a fine brother we did not deserve.”

II. (Redacted):

“(The Eleventh) nearly broke Mortarion’s nose when the latter questioned my right to sit at the table as one of the Emperor’s children. I didn’t ask him to do so. I did not call for help. He simply did it. An hour before, the two had been playing Shatar.”

III. Fulgrim:

“He tells me honestly when he feels something in my collection is too gaudy. He will be frank when he dislikes my compositions. He will tease me if he feels I am ‘preening like a peacock.’ And yet for a man who is literally incapable of seeing any color but shades of black and grey, the man’s taste in art is astoundingly spot on.”

IV. Perturabo:

“In our last correspondence, he told me that my decision at Theta-Bartlett was wrong. He was, of course incorrect. He felt that he had the right to make the criticism. He was, of course, correct.”

V. The Khan:

“There are no horses on [REDACTED]! What an awful childhood that must have been! Thank goodness they had dogs!”

VI. The Russ:

“On his adopted homeworld, the rough translation of the local word for whiskey is ‘Water of Life’. Taken from the old Gaelic. I love these people.”

VII. Rogal Dorn:

“He has asked me to help in designing new buildings for the planets in his home star system. He admits he is no architect. His ideas are sound, however, and I am sure I can work with them.”

VIII. Kurze:

“The ‘Devil’s Hound’ a local song calls him. I had to meet this man. I was not disappointed, though it took.. some time for the ice between us to thaw.”

IX. Sanguinius:

“His flying leaves a great deal to be desired. He tries, bless him, but the best jet pack in the galaxy can’t save him. This is a man meant for the void, yes, and the land and water as well. But the air? Thank goodness his Legionaries manage it.”

X. Ferrus Manus:

“Can you believe that our first operation together involved sinking a battleship? A battleship? How often have I done that? That was… that was entertaining.”

XII. Angron:

“A competent killer. Talks too much.”

XIII. Roboute Guiliman:

“I was afforded the opportunity to visit his adopted home world, once. I must tell you that I have never seen so many bovines, so many flowers… or so many cemeteries. “

XIV. Mortarion:

“He nearly broke my nose once. And upon reflection, the judgmental bastard was probably right to do it.”

“What had you done, my lord?”

“I made a rare miscalculation.”

- Exchange with a Legionary Captain

XV. Magnus:

“He is, upon occasion, overly cautious for my tastes.”

XVI. Horus:

“He is the Emperor’s pathfinder and tracker, you know. His coursing hound. Given the scent, he can find anything. Give the man an eight thousand year old map of a place the cartographer had never been, written in a language he does not read or write, and he can likely still make use of it. I’ve no doubt he could find fictional places, given the opportunity.”

XVII. Lorgar:

“His refusal to abandon his faith does him credit. But, then, he does not proselytize…”

XVIII. Vulkan:

“Have you ever seen a joke so well told that it can make a dreadnought laugh? I have.”

XIX. Corax:

“I read his ‘Summa Artilleria Logistica’’. The man made numbers and ordnance palatable, even interesting. I again regret, deeply, our never having met.”

XX. Alpharius-Omegon:

“Very, very good at keeping a secret… Very, very good indeed.”

Art practice first, and an honest attempt at the primarchs second, my main interest was making everyone look visualy distinct. Ordered by how much i liked the drawing.

[taythecatfey]

Im obsessed with the new Fulgrim model. He looks cracked out and I love it.
