You can add Alpharius to that list as well. He's definitely one of the most arrogant out of all the primarchs, but out of all of them, he knows that his legion needs baseline normal humans to complete their goals.

Probably. A lot of the Primarchs who did have good relationships with eachother worked really well together, even if some of those relationships did fall apart as the Horus Heresy went on.
This is my theory. The Emperor went into the warp not to gain personal psychic powers, but to recruit the minor warp beings of mankind. Each primarch being a minor warp god of mankind. Like Sanguinius being humanity's desire for the divine. Lion El Jonson being mankinds adherence to honor. Mortarion being mankind's tendency to be rebellious.

There are aspects to Alpharius (or maybe Omegon) often unexplored that are shown in his Primarch book. There's his power to completely hide is Primarch presence that even the Lion couldn't see through and even things like how he interacts with his Astartes. They are not only allowed to but encouraged to question him much like the Custodes with the Emperor. Unlike many of the other Primarchs, Alpharius sees the value in normal humans and even goes out of his way to save/recruit them when he otherwise didn't have to. My theory is that the twin who can hide his presence and the twin Dorn had an argument with for his arrogance are different. Dorn wouldn't have been able to figure out who Alpharius was if it was the one raised by Malcador The problem here is figuring out which traits go with which twin...
As far as i remember, both twins were able to hide their presence, and Dorn only figured out, which of the 3 legionaires was Alpharius, after going for a punch, only a Primarch could have reacted to in time But i do agree, that one twin was definately more arrogant than the other
@@alphariusomegon4432 No, what I mean is: One has the arrogant trait( likely alfarius but perharps Omegon ), so what is the trait of the other? Or is it that the emperor's arrogance didn't fit inside only 1 primarch, so the twins both inherited it?
I don't think Russ is the emperor's fury or his humanity: I think he's the Emperor's determination and desire for freedom. One of the central themes of Russ is he is constanttly riling against his position, as a Primarch and a king, wishing nothing more than to let it all go and just become a simple hunter or friend. But he won't let go, because his amount of will and determination to see the Emperor's ideals through means he is literally unbending. Russ beat Magnus not due to blind fury, but because Magnus was unfocused and full of doubt but Russ's mind and body were literally immutable. Think about it, what WAS the Emperor going to do once Mankind was assured it's future? He would have simply melted away, happy to vanish into the annals of history free from his burden. Just like Russ.
To be fair alpharius did outsmart and lure Dorn into a trap,had the upper hand in the duel and was about to land a killing blow until Archamus intervened and saved Dorn
My interpretation of their duel was different. Dorn baited the killing blow and trapped it in his armour pinning the spear and leaving Alpharius open. The fish who tried to block the attack said his parry achieved nothing
@@majorkill oh yeah, dorn knew his brother's tricks, he actually knows Him better than the others. I feel that the constant bait and switch of Alpharius and Omegon makes it so hard to truly ascertain what is going on. Personally, after reading the Alpharius novel, i think that once he found Omegon and let him take the mantle of Legion Primarch he stayed Omegon most of the time, maybe only really playing that trick on dorn and learning more about him then continuing to watch from the shadows and see what was playing out like malcador and the big e taught him, as his motivation of destroying Chaos doesn't fit the character after that novel, he cares about humanity and the big es plan of a united and prospering human race. Omegon wouldn't of had as good an understanding and would be the one to take that view of destroy chaos by helping horus, hence the alpha legion kind of playing both sides. i think it makes a bit more sense viewing it this way, and kind of helps back the, he is now cypher theory, because Alpharius also liked the Lion more than his other Brothers, he actually revealed (kind of) himself to him before the others during the rangdan campaign whilst trying to find omegon
@@joshuaashkar6644 I still think the Alpha legion and Alpharius agreed to join the traitor side so that they could be secretly pushing things this way and that and working against horus from the inside in the Emperor's Favour, afterall they knew that the Kabal had seen two potential futures for humanity and yet the future that comes to pass is the one in which the Kabal was trying to avoid. I actually think that Alpharius was about to tell Dorn that he had deliberately joined the traitors so he could work from the inside against them but before he could properly explain Dorn cut his head off. He was being arrogant about it though and wasn't properly explaining so from Dorn's perspective all the tricks Alpharius used to show Dorn all the holes in the defenses were actual attacks. If he'd only just spoken straight out rather than try and trick and fight Dorn it might have been different. Alpharius was probably trying to get Dorn alone so they could speak in private because he couldn't just contact him over a vox or astropath because the traitors would then know he's been working against them. I've only listened to the audiobook of this scene twice but this was the conclusion I came to after the second listen. I will do a general meta repeat (skipping less important event filled and some of the more boring books especially in the 50 - 80% zone of the story) of the whole series again once the final Siege books come out so it will be interesting to see if I read it that way after next listen since I only came to that realisation at the end of the novel the second time. Definitely didn't see it that way the first time.
@@davecolwell725 oh yeah 100% I agree with you, he said to dorn look at what I've done, as in bro really look at what I have done what I have shown you but dorn is also a very literal person he was never going to listen to alpharius for as much as he knew he he didn't respect him. What alpharius did really help dorn but dorn was to proud to even acknowledge that fact after it was all said and done. Legion was also a great book, but I just think the destroy chaos motive didn't fit because he actually said it. It very well may have been that mankind's continual survival Trump's this xeno scum, we will help the emperor by playing the insurgent being the spy. If alpharius had of found a way to keep the lion or dorn in on one of their specific cyphers not all, things may have played out differently. Like hey you are the only one that can know of this it doesn't leave this room this is what I'm doing. Kind of like how the super high ranking general in the solar auxilia was working for them. Another theory could also be that as AO was 1soul in 2 bodies he became whole when alpharius died in which all the true experience of their separate lives become one.
With Angron’s empathic healing and sense of mercy pre-Nails I think points to E’s sacrificial familial side, even wanting to die alongside his brothers and sisters in their last stand (I believe his true self pushing through the violent madness of the Nails in that moment of crisis and stress [and in the presence of the Emperor]). The Emperor of course ends up being a sacrifice to be the astronomicon thus keeping humanity going despite the taxing and agonizing pain it causes him And as it’s 40k and everything is grimdark and sucky, it seems all the more tragically fitting with what Angron became from what he was created to be
Its generally said he was prideful, but considering what he had to endure on a daily basis and that he earned his success where most of humanity had failed, I find him very relatable.
When Emps talked to Corvus when they first met, it was in a room for hours upon hours, and when the Heresy happened, Corvus wasn’t surprised, which means that Corvus might have also been Emps confidant…
Ferrus was the emperors strength and determination, but also his rage. Ferrus anger was explosive and monumental. His wrath was rightly feared and respected by his brothers. Once ferrus set his mind upon a task he would see it completed, regardless of the personal hardship. It was his greatest strength and also his greatest weakness.
Wait... Conrad has a foresight more on par with his father, right? More than Sanguineous, who is simply a very good fortune teller. But Conrad's visions were almost always incredibly dark and disturbing, to the point it broke his brain. So... If we assume the Emperor has superior abilities compared to all his primarchs, I conclude two things. A: there is no way the Emperor didn't see the Horus heresy if the inferior Conrad saw it, so that supports the Planned Heresy theory. B: If the Emperor has to see everything Conrad sees and more, then I think we may be able to forgive his majesty for being a bit of a prick.
It is stated multiple times the emperor couldn’t see the heresy because the chaos gods clouded his sight into the future. It is something many people with the gift of foresight comment on, that they often can’t see the future of pivotal moments in history where the fates are unclear or timelines have the ability to radically diverge.
Tho one might presume E took an infinite precautionary sphere of thought which in the end illuminated that the hearts of man had him in them, and accepted that fate knowing that eternity is a long anough time to win anything as long as your people will never abandon you.
There is also that Konrad also sees the good outcome of the future. Like when there was a kid that could have attacked him or become his greatest asset to bringing the planet to order. I think Konrad simply chooses the negativity he sees rather than the good that could come.
We are missing a few here. The Custodes inheritance was the Big E's overwhelming love of gold and all the actual money and property. While Saint Celestene and all the other living saints inherited that one drag phase he went through in the 15th millenniun (as basically THE Chad no one said a thing against the 13ft tall Adonis in a dress).
If anyone is curious about Mortarion wanting to kill his adopted father, It was because Mortarion grew up on a world with normal humans as a lower class, and a strange race of semi human xenos as upper class, who liked to abuse their potent psychic powers. Mortarion was adopted by one of the psychic semi humans, and you can guess why he wanted to kill his adopted father.
Actually, the feeling I got from his Primarch book is that the Lion was the Emperor's Reason. His insight, his analytical ability to figure out how seemingly unconnected facts and pieces of information tied in together, even across centuries and star systems apart.

I'm a Dark Angels fan through and through, but the contrast between Russ and the Lion is my favorite part of all of 30k's lore. Russ appears savage, impulsive, and wild on the outside but beneath the surface he's actually quite brilliant and *very* human, prone to emotions that many other primarchs can't or won't indulge. The Lion, however, appears extremely majestic and noble, but inside he's an absolute force of nature just waiting to be unleashed. As someone put it "He is - and will always be - the last Great Beast of Caliban."
Actually, Fulgrim also inherit Emperor's charisma aura. He is the designated diplomat among the Primarchs The khan's other aspect is his thirst for freedom.
I like these videos. Each time the primarchs seem a bit more interesting and add a lot to the world building. 40k has some really interesting aspects to it.
Dude I'm sorry but I had to rewatch the beginning part of the video of you drinking with your dog and hugging him that was just truly wholesome and shows what type of person you are much love and respect 💯
The emperor fragmented his soul and imparted these aspects into his sons because he wanted to be a pure logic ruler. Problem is his plans from that point on could not take full account for the emotions of others in his plans, and he could only simulate emotions himself. What that also means that those fragments in the primarchs lacked the checks and balances that made the Emperor the anathema to chaos and evil. Some of the primarchs were not going to go traitor because their aspects are sufficient to resist while others were more vulnerable.
An interesting thing is that Fulgrim's pursuit of perfection also bolstered his abilities like swordsmanship and the second greatest humanity and empathy of the primarchs
The first primarch Emperor had created, name Angel had all the aspects, powers and personalities of the emperor. The angel became insane slowly, so he had to lock him away. Makes you wonder how powerful emperor 's charecter and genius is even before he was a vegetable. I wish Emperor was my dad too 😬 lol
Massively underrated bit of lore tbh. I know they've left it open for him to come back again but I wouldn't EXTREMELY doubt it since even his first appearance/s were minor footnotes at best rather than the massive threat to the galaxy it should be
The Angel wasn't a Primach. It was a pure warp being made by the Emperor as he experimented, basically a Greater Daemon of the Emperor in the same way living saints are Daemon princes of the Emperor.
Never explicitly said. Guilliman had the 500 worlds, that was his personal fiefdom. Dorn also gave the Imperium a small empire, but it's never been explored in any detail, beyond it being more than 1 solar system. Most other Primarchs also had conquered the world they landed in, but few where in Guillimans or Dorns level, when it came to Empire building. The Big question is Alpharius/Omegon, only known Primarch to actively seek the Emperor and meet him, before the Emperor found him, thus the question is if he had an Empire of his own and if so how big.
Ferrus probably represents loyalty and dogged perseverance more than brute strength, just saying. Only primarch that didnt hesitate even a moment to debounce Chaos (again and again via his clones), even when it was his closest friend trying to tempt him to it.
Had Lorgar remained loyal and Guilliman not been in stasis, they would be running the imperium but would also be rivals. G on the administrative side and Lorgar running the cult and inquisition.
I honestly find it interesting how the primarch that was in some aspects more animalistic was the most human of them all. That was Russ' weakness, his humanity.
I was wondering about this for a while let's just hope this vid isn't a meme fest and actually without to many jokes talks about which aspects each primarchs represents
Hey Major love all the work you put into your vids . Could they Bring Ferrus Manus back using the living metal necon gimmick making him the true iron man?
Whenever anyone brings up Perturabo I thing about how cool it would be if he got back into the setting as a representative of the forge of souls, It would work great with his personality and that of his legion.
I may have suggested it in another video, but a fun idea for a Theory video might be "Which worlds would stunt the Primarchs the most?" Like, it's pretty well agreed that most of the Primarchs landed on the right world to help them reach their potential and full greatness... But, if we scramble them up MORE, what worlds would be the WORST fit for each of them, and how would that affect them going forward?
Deamon primarch perturabo: 1. Returns. 2. Rebuilds cadia as a traitor fortress. 3. challenges Abadon 4. Fights some Necron/Tau 5. Claims to be the Machine God
I imagine he's only so great at his job because he found an old copy of the book. "How to win friends and influence people." That's my head cannon anyway.
This is why I believe one of the missing Primarchs most have had the Emperor’s immense habilita to manipulate DNA. That’s not something anyone acquired in time as it shows in the Custodes, they are the literal perfect warriors in mind, body and spirit. While the other missing Primarch I do believe represents the Emperor’s soul, as we know the Emperor is the result of thousands of psychers uniting into a single soul, thus making him a man made God. Perhaps this Primarch had the ability to fully bring to surface a human’s full potential thus elevating them to a form similar to an Astartes but without the extra organs and gene seed. Either way another interesting video would be how much the Primarch’s power comes from the Emperor and how much of it comes from the God Souls in them. I still have the Theory that Vulkan has a shard of an Eldari God, probably a shard of Isha. Meanwhile the Khan has a shard of Cegorath and would explain why the Trickster God has such a fascination with the Khan.
A lot of the older lore is preferable to the current stuff... We don't need to know his 'name'. He is the Emperor. We don't need C'tan to be pokemon - far better to have the terrors of Star Gods eating stars and a Void Dragon sleeping on Mars - with the nightmare scenario of it waking up and wreaking all the havoc that only a C'tan a stone's throw from Terra can bring.
There is the theory that eh emperor has played the role of many different importand historical figures. Like he was Jesus, Mohammed and then some. HIm beeing those two in particular would have reinforced his determination to deter peple from worshipping him.
Sanguinius, according to Horus was the best of them, representing all of Emp’s best features and attributes. Horus said that Sanguinius should be warmaster. This was said in the fandom page of Sangy. Also, Sanguinius is the second most worshiped person in the Imperium, except for Emps of course
Thank you Majorkill!!! I am fairly new to the community, I got into the hobby from the McFarlane Toys and then your channel was like my intro to the lore. Now I have books, a few video games and armies of the McFarlane figures. Your channel is great because it’s funny, informative and even when you purposely do in jokes that mess stuff up, that is just like any other “unreliable narrator” so it’s still lore accurate because the whole lore is fairly unreliable!! You make it up to me, to search out more sources, like any good historian, so that’s opened me up to lots of other Lore channels and lore sources. I don’t have any minis, I suppose one day I will dive in. Lol.
Majorkill you've done videos that mention them but they're not the main subject. Can we expect to see a lore vid about primaris marines? How they differ from regular astartes, how they're made etc... i'd absolutely jizz
I'd also say Konrad represents another aspect of the big E - his cruelty and absolute ruthlessness. The Emperor didn't get to be the literal God of humanity by being nice to everyone he met. He had to step over mountains of bodies to do it. Without the ability to be terrifyingly cruel when it was necessary, he never would have been able to unite humanity through conquest. Because leading all of humanity also meant crushing any resistance and forcing everybody to do as he said. Konrad had all these qualities in spades. It was the fact he lacked any other tempering aspects, as well as his visions of the future driving him insane, that led to him becoming a monster.
Logically we could figure out a lot about the lost primarchs based on what parts of the emperors personality are not well represented in the remaining 18. Or maybe, the reason they chose to forget, was that they, by their very existence revealed some dark truths about the emperor himself. Aspects I have not seen too clearly in the primarchs are as follows: -Humility. -Greed. -Complete honesty. (doesnt really fit the emperor but whatever) There are also powers. There is one of the emperors powers I have not seen in another primarch: His ''divine'' aura, as showcased in his first meeting with Corax.

Think about it, what WAS the Emperor going to do once Mankind was assured it's future? He would have simply melted away, happy to vanish into the annals of history free from his burden. Just like Russ.

To be fair alpharius did outsmart and lure Dorn into a trap,had the upper hand in the duel and was about to land a killing blow until Archamus intervened and saved Dorn
My interpretation of their duel was different. Dorn baited the killing blow and trapped it in his armour pinning the spear and leaving Alpharius open. The fish who tried to block the attack said his parry achieved nothing
@@majorkill oh yeah, dorn knew his brother's tricks, he actually knows Him better than the others. I feel that the constant bait and switch of Alpharius and Omegon makes it so hard to truly ascertain what is going on. Personally, after reading the Alpharius novel, i think that once he found Omegon and let him take the mantle of Legion Primarch he stayed Omegon most of the time, maybe only really playing that trick on dorn and learning more about him then continuing to watch from the shadows and see what was playing out like malcador and the big e taught him, as his motivation of destroying Chaos doesn't fit the character after that novel, he cares about humanity and the big es plan of a united and prospering human race. Omegon wouldn't of had as good an understanding and would be the one to take that view of destroy chaos by helping horus, hence the alpha legion kind of playing both sides. i think it makes a bit more sense viewing it this way, and kind of helps back the, he is now cypher theory, because Alpharius also liked the Lion more than his other Brothers, he actually revealed (kind of) himself to him before the others during the rangdan campaign whilst trying to find omegon
@@joshuaashkar6644 I still think the Alpha legion and Alpharius agreed to join the traitor side so that they could be secretly pushing things this way and that and working against horus from the inside in the Emperor's Favour, afterall they knew that the Kabal had seen two potential futures for humanity and yet the future that comes to pass is the one in which the Kabal was trying to avoid.
I actually think that Alpharius was about to tell Dorn that he had deliberately joined the traitors so he could work from the inside against them but before he could properly explain Dorn cut his head off. He was being arrogant about it though and wasn't properly explaining so from Dorn's perspective all the tricks Alpharius used to show Dorn all the holes in the defenses were actual attacks. If he'd only just spoken straight out rather than try and trick and fight Dorn it might have been different. Alpharius was probably trying to get Dorn alone so they could speak in private because he couldn't just contact him over a vox or astropath because the traitors would then know he's been working against them.
I've only listened to the audiobook of this scene twice but this was the conclusion I came to after the second listen. I will do a general meta repeat (skipping less important event filled and some of the more boring books especially in the 50 - 80% zone of the story) of the whole series again once the final Siege books come out so it will be interesting to see if I read it that way after next listen since I only came to that realisation at the end of the novel the second time. Definitely didn't see it that way the first time.
@@davecolwell725 oh yeah 100% I agree with you, he said to dorn look at what I've done, as in bro really look at what I have done what I have shown you but dorn is also a very literal person he was never going to listen to alpharius for as much as he knew he he didn't respect him. What alpharius did really help dorn but dorn was to proud to even acknowledge that fact after it was all said and done. Legion was also a great book, but I just think the destroy chaos motive didn't fit because he actually said it. It very well may have been that mankind's continual survival Trump's this xeno scum, we will help the emperor by playing the insurgent being the spy. If alpharius had of found a way to keep the lion or dorn in on one of their specific cyphers not all, things may have played out differently. Like hey you are the only one that can know of this it doesn't leave this room this is what I'm doing. Kind of like how the super high ranking general in the solar auxilia was working for them.
Another theory could also be that as AO was 1soul in 2 bodies he became whole when alpharius died in which all the true experience of their separate lives become one.
With Angron’s empathic healing and sense of mercy pre-Nails I think points to E’s sacrificial familial side, even wanting to die alongside his brothers and sisters in their last stand (I believe his true self pushing through the violent madness of the Nails in that moment of crisis and stress [and in the presence of the Emperor]). The Emperor of course ends up being a sacrifice to be the astronomicon thus keeping humanity going despite the taxing and agonizing pain it causes him
And as it’s 40k and everything is grimdark and sucky, it seems all the more tragically fitting with what Angron became from what he was created to be
Pre-Fall Horus is one of my favorite Primarchs. He was such a great guy and fell so far...
Its generally said he was prideful, but considering what he had to endure on a daily basis and that he earned his success where most of humanity had failed, I find him very relatable.

When Emps talked to Corvus when they first met, it was in a room for hours upon hours, and when the Heresy happened, Corvus wasn’t surprised, which means that Corvus might have also been Emps confidant…
I love how, in proper 40k fashion, Dorn's shoulder pads are just tiny cathedrals.
Ferrus was the emperors strength and determination, but also his rage. Ferrus anger was explosive and monumental. His wrath was rightly feared and respected by his brothers. Once ferrus set his mind upon a task he would see it completed, regardless of the personal hardship. It was his greatest strength and also his greatest weakness.
I loved this video, gave some great perspective into the Primarchs.

4:20 Big E would have offered the Mechanicus a lot of sacred toasters and Mars would accept the Treaty of Olympus anyway.
Wait... Conrad has a foresight more on par with his father, right? More than Sanguineous, who is simply a very good fortune teller. But Conrad's visions were almost always incredibly dark and disturbing, to the point it broke his brain. So... If we assume the Emperor has superior abilities compared to all his primarchs, I conclude two things. A: there is no way the Emperor didn't see the Horus heresy if the inferior Conrad saw it, so that supports the Planned Heresy theory. B: If the Emperor has to see everything Conrad sees and more, then I think we may be able to forgive his majesty for being a bit of a prick.
It is stated multiple times the emperor couldn’t see the heresy because the chaos gods clouded his sight into the future. It is something many people with the gift of foresight comment on, that they often can’t see the future of pivotal moments in history where the fates are unclear or timelines have the ability to radically diverge.
@@notknightbean Ah, that makes sense.
Tho one might presume E took an infinite precautionary sphere of thought which in the end illuminated that the hearts of man had him in them, and accepted that fate knowing that eternity is a long anough time to win anything as long as your people will never abandon you.
There is also that Konrad also sees the good outcome of the future. Like when there was a kid that could have attacked him or become his greatest asset to bringing the planet to order. I think Konrad simply chooses the negativity he sees rather than the good that could come.

That will explain what the Emperor did with his foresight and the Heresy. Great read.
We are missing a few here. The Custodes inheritance was the Big E's overwhelming love of gold and all the actual money and property. While Saint Celestene and all the other living saints inherited that one drag phase he went through in the 15th millenniun (as basically THE Chad no one said a thing against the 13ft tall Adonis in a dress).
So what did the Sanguinor inherit?
If anyone is curious about Mortarion wanting to kill his adopted father, It was because Mortarion grew up on a world with normal humans as a lower class, and a strange race of semi human xenos as upper class, who liked to abuse their potent psychic powers. Mortarion was adopted by one of the psychic semi humans, and you can guess why he wanted to kill his adopted father.
Actually, the feeling I got from his Primarch book is that the Lion was the Emperor's Reason. His insight, his analytical ability to figure out how seemingly unconnected facts and pieces of information tied in together, even across centuries and star systems apart.
I think Corvus also inherited his love for humanity as a whole, as next to the salamanders and blood angels, they're the most human faction.

I'm a Dark Angels fan through and through, but the contrast between Russ and the Lion is my favorite part of all of 30k's lore.
Russ appears savage, impulsive, and wild on the outside but beneath the surface he's actually quite brilliant and *very* human, prone to emotions that many other primarchs can't or won't indulge.
The Lion, however, appears extremely majestic and noble, but inside he's an absolute force of nature just waiting to be unleashed. As someone put it "He is - and will always be - the last Great Beast of Caliban."
Actually, Fulgrim also inherit Emperor's charisma aura. He is the designated diplomat among the Primarchs
The khan's other aspect is his thirst for freedom.
And going really fast
I'd like for more Ferrus stories. It's nice to have a Primarch killed for the plot but he deserved more
He could have become a lovable cantankerous asscrack.
I love that you don't skip over 2 and 11 like other content creators. Solid work lad.
I like these videos. Each time the primarchs seem a bit more interesting and add a lot to the world building. 40k has some really interesting aspects to it.
I love Guilliman's humilty.

The emperor fragmented his soul and imparted these aspects into his sons because he wanted to be a pure logic ruler.
Problem is his plans from that point on could not take full account for the emotions of others in his plans, and he could only simulate emotions himself.
What that also means that those fragments in the primarchs lacked the checks and balances that made the Emperor the anathema to chaos and evil.
Some of the primarchs were not going to go traitor because their aspects are sufficient to resist while others were more vulnerable.
Wow, my theory is the golden path from Dune, but you went Full Metal Alchemist.
Nice.
@@xsjado_anon Its the best theory I got.
An interesting thing is that Fulgrim's pursuit of perfection also bolstered his abilities like swordsmanship and the second greatest humanity and empathy of the primarchs
The first primarch Emperor had created, name Angel had all the aspects, powers and personalities of the emperor. The angel became insane slowly, so he had to lock him away. Makes you wonder how powerful emperor 's charecter and genius is even before he was a vegetable. I wish Emperor was my dad too 😬 lol
Massively underrated bit of lore tbh. I know they've left it open for him to come back again but I wouldn't EXTREMELY doubt it since even his first appearance/s were minor footnotes at best rather than the massive threat to the galaxy it should be
The Angel wasn't a Primach. It was a pure warp being made by the Emperor as he experimented, basically a Greater Daemon of the Emperor in the same way living saints are Daemon princes of the Emperor.

Dorn had a larger interstellar empire than Papa Smurf? This puts a tear of joy on my face.
Keep up the good work major kill.
Never explicitly said.
Guilliman had the 500 worlds, that was his personal fiefdom.
Dorn also gave the Imperium a small empire, but it's never been explored in any detail, beyond it being more than 1 solar system.
Most other Primarchs also had conquered the world they landed in, but few where in Guillimans or Dorns level, when it came to Empire building.
The Big question is Alpharius/Omegon, only known Primarch to actively seek the Emperor and meet him, before the Emperor found him, thus the question is if he had an Empire of his own and if so how big.
Ferrus probably represents loyalty and dogged perseverance more than brute strength, just saying. Only primarch that didnt hesitate even a moment to debounce Chaos (again and again via his clones), even when it was his closest friend trying to tempt him to it.
Had Lorgar remained loyal and Guilliman not been in stasis, they would be running the imperium but would also be rivals. G on the administrative side and Lorgar running the cult and inquisition.
I honestly find it interesting how the primarch that was in some aspects more animalistic was the most human of them all. That was Russ' weakness, his humanity.
Loving the content. Keep it up MK
I was wondering about this for a while let's just hope this vid isn't a meme fest and actually without to many jokes talks about which aspects each primarchs represents
Leman also inherited the Emperor's hidden furry fixation.
Compare Leman's use of wolf imagery with the Emperor's use of eagles.

Whenever anyone brings up Perturabo I thing about how cool it would be if he got back into the setting as a representative of the forge of souls, It would work great with his personality and that of his legion.
You mean to tell me the missing primarchs don’t represent the Emperor’s love of anime and desire to smoke cigarettes respectively?
Alpharius and Omegon also represent the emperor's ability to seem all knowing, with their ability to obtain and use intelligence for their own gain
MajorGoat just dropped a vid!!
My head canon is that Guiliman secretly has the aspect of the emperor’s rage considering his rare tendency to rage and seriously f*ck shit up.

I may have suggested it in another video, but a fun idea for a Theory video might be
"Which worlds would stunt the Primarchs the most?"
Like, it's pretty well agreed that most of the Primarchs landed on the right world to help them reach their potential and full greatness... But, if we scramble them up MORE, what worlds would be the WORST fit for each of them, and how would that affect them going forward?
Deamon primarch perturabo:
1. Returns.
2. Rebuilds cadia as a traitor fortress.
3. challenges Abadon
4. Fights some Necron/Tau
5. Claims to be the Machine God

Can you do a video about Ciaphas Cain? He seems to have an interesting personality that stems beyond serving the Emperor.
Ciaphas Cain was basically my introduction to 40K so I second this idea.

@@myself2noone It's so absurd, I could see it as the actual explanation.
Headcanon accepted.
i like how alpharius and omegon never have their own chapters to themselves and are always in corax's chapter or the outro
If Fulgrim was perfect, how come he wasn’t perfectly loyal.
This is why I believe one of the missing Primarchs most have had the Emperor’s immense habilita to manipulate DNA. That’s not something anyone acquired in time as it shows in the Custodes, they are the literal perfect warriors in mind, body and spirit.
While the other missing Primarch I do believe represents the Emperor’s soul, as we know the Emperor is the result of thousands of psychers uniting into a single soul, thus making him a man made God. Perhaps this Primarch had the ability to fully bring to surface a human’s full potential thus elevating them to a form similar to an Astartes but without the extra organs and gene seed.
Either way another interesting video would be how much the Primarch’s power comes from the Emperor and how much of it comes from the God Souls in them.
I still have the Theory that Vulkan has a shard of an Eldari God, probably a shard of Isha. Meanwhile the Khan has a shard of Cegorath and would explain why the Trickster God has such a fascination with the Khan.
I like your theories
That's actually make sense, Cegorath was one of the god with most common sense
It also explain the relatioship between Khan-Eldar-Cegorath-Slannesh
A lot of the older lore is preferable to the current stuff...
We don't need to know his 'name'. He is the Emperor.
We don't need C'tan to be pokemon - far better to have the terrors of Star Gods eating stars and a Void Dragon sleeping on Mars - with the nightmare scenario of it waking up and wreaking all the havoc that only a C'tan a stone's throw from Terra can bring.
Chaos is still woefully underpowered in their showings in Lore
Drach'nyen should have wiped out HALF of the Custodes, Skitarii and Titans on his own!
Why would Vulkan have a shard of Isha and not Vaul?
Fulgrim was defined by a pursuit of perfection he could never obtain where as Sangunius was perfection he never wanted
I recently heard a theory that Conan as written by Robert E Howard was an early incarnation of the God Emperor of Mankind. It checks out.
There is the theory that eh emperor has played the role of many different importand historical figures.

Sanguinius, according to Horus was the best of them, representing all of Emp’s best features and attributes. Horus said that Sanguinius should be warmaster.

Thank you Majorkill!!! I am fairly new to the community, I got into the hobby from the McFarlane Toys and then your channel was like my intro to the lore. Now I have books, a few video games and armies of the McFarlane figures. Your channel is great because it’s funny, informative and even when you purposely do in jokes that mess stuff up, that is just like any other “unreliable narrator” so it’s still lore accurate because the whole lore is fairly unreliable!! You make it up to me, to search out more sources, like any good historian, so that’s opened me up to lots of other Lore channels and lore sources. I don’t have any minis, I suppose one day I will dive in. Lol.
The description of Horus immediately made me think of Gandhi from the civilization games
Can you do a video on the Imperial navy and ship types in 40k? They deserve some love too..
Majorkill you've done videos that mention them but they're not the main subject. Can we expect to see a lore vid about primaris marines? How they differ from regular astartes, how they're made etc... i'd absolutely jizz
Wish I could give you two thumbs up. That intro was legit.
I'd also say Konrad represents another aspect of the big E - his cruelty and absolute ruthlessness. The Emperor didn't get to be the literal God of humanity by being nice to everyone he met. He had to step over mountains of bodies to do it. Without the ability to be terrifyingly cruel when it was necessary, he never would have been able to unite humanity through conquest. Because leading all of humanity also meant crushing any resistance and forcing everybody to do as he said.
Konrad had all these qualities in spades. It was the fact he lacked any other tempering aspects, as well as his visions of the future driving him insane, that led to him becoming a monster.
Hey in hospital not doing so well. Thanks for making these videos. Really helping me get through this. Love your videos. Have a tall cold one for me.

"The rumors of my death is greatly UNDERSTATED."

Logically we could figure out a lot about the lost primarchs based on what parts of the emperors personality are not well represented in the remaining 18.
Or maybe, the reason they chose to forget, was that they, by their very existence revealed some dark truths about the emperor himself.
Aspects I have not seen too clearly in the primarchs are as follows:
-Humility.
-Greed.
-Complete honesty. (doesnt really fit the emperor but whatever)
There are also powers. There is one of the emperors powers I have not seen in another primarch:
His ''divine'' aura, as showcased in his first meeting with Corax.
I think Bobby G very well represents humility and there's a weird / interesting argument to be made for honesty regarding Lorgar
