Vulkan is probably already back somewhere, but he's acting as a doctors-without-borders, digging ditches, helping deliver food and aid to the needy, or something else fully humanitarian. He was physically the largest and most imposing of them all, but also the most gentle.
Vulkan, The goodest of Good Bois.
Yep. Making wells. Building houses, burning eldar children, making tools, planting crops
@@eltonjohntubola3212 just imperial truth things
@@eltonjohntubola3212 its not much but its honest work
@@eltonjohntubola3212 Yes, the burning helps to fertilize the soil, yes yes
All of the Primarchs are reflections of the Emperor.
Vulkan is the embodiment of his humanity, his compassion and his hope.
THAT is why Vulkan cannot die.
That is why he is best.
Stomp, stomp.
*Hug, hug*
Do you think vulcan inherited being a perpetual from the emperor or did vulcan become a perpetual by luck?
VULKAN LIVES
STOMP STOMP
VULKAN LIVES !
@@theblueneko677 I dunno the Emperor would 100% actually die without all the Psyker execution so I think it's just sheer luck
The Primarchs are not reflections of the Emperor. That's Imperium propoganda. Each of the Primarchs have just as diverse and whole personalities as the Emperor himself, they are whole human beings.
Vulkan deserves a million hugs with his large group of Salamanders chanting "Vulkan lives!" while stopping their feet as a war cry of triumph.
VULKAN LIVES! *stompstompstomp*

Guiliman: “Vulkan. Brother. It is good to see that you live.”
Vulkan: “…”
Guiliman: “You seem cross with me. That is unlike you.”
Vulkan: “What’s this I hear about you having a ‘big tittied Eldar waifu’?”
“Come close to her with that hammer in your hands and I’ll kill you. I say that lightly because I know you’ll just come back.”
[vulkan burns G's halfbreed offspring...]
@@lloydgush [Guilliman brings back Kurze]
@@rebel1717 Kurze can't kill Vulkan, well, permanently that is.
But Vulkan will bulldoze any Primarchs if he really wants to.
@@eltonjohntubola3212 the fact that Vulkan can’t die is why being captured by Kurze is the worst thing that can happen to him. When Kurze learned he couldn’t kill Vulkan, he tortured him physically and mentally. He was insane when he crash landed on Macragge.
Vulkan returning would signify the end and victory for mankind. Him and his sons represent the heart and soul of the imperium! They would rally the normal man to become Champions of their destiny!
(TTS Vulkan voice)
Brother Girly man, I have returned. I have been trying to find a way to deploy weapons grade friendship from the safety of orbit and I have succeeded.
(It's basically an imperial ship with suspiciously large *ORKY TEK* looking arms that can hug an entire planet)
@@Rawkit_Surgeon God i miss TTS
Vulkan, The goodest of Good Bois.
@@citizenkhan4696 with the meeting about the fan made stuff I hope it'll come back
@@leoradbrinkerhoff they just said they were having meetings with stockholders bout fanmade stuff didn't say anything more than that
honestly he the most needed, actual compassion being infused into the imperium would be great, i said it before but i feel he most needed on the opposite side of the great rift from guilliman, unifying and saving the dark imperium
I second that statement brother for the emperor
Vulkan, The goodest of Good Bois.
*G man lays eyes on vulkan and extends his arms asking, "are you still Vulkan?".
*Vulkan embraces his brother after so many years, "of coarse!".
And on that day, for the first time in his 1000 and more year life, Gulliman cried unabashedly in front of his legions.
@@PeteofHartainia bruh vulkan could (would) break every bone in my body with 1 hug and I'd still be happy.
Greetings, brother!
@@PeteofHartainia it is possible
@@meanestgreen3320 it’s 40 k probably the best way to die
If Vulkan returns, pray to the omnissiah that Nick Kyme doesn't write it - if he does, Vulkans dialogue will average 4 sentences per book!
I already saw this comment.
This was from MajorKills. Indomitus crusade video. From my comment.
Awesome comment. I really despised the salamanders novels from Nick Kyme. He doesn't know how to develop characters like Dan Abnett and Guy Haley. Both of these authors would have done a much better job. I love the novel Vulkan Lord of the Drakes because Nick Kyme didn't write it. David Annandele did a much better job.
Honestly if Vulkan returned I think there would be a large clash between him and his salamanders against the adeptus mechanicus. Vulkan would probably start introducing innovation, the salamanders would be the first to pick the concept up and start making new variants of bolters and other war gear that is higher quality then the mechanicus can produce. The mechanicus viewing inventing new things as heresy and with their monopoly/political power being threatened, they would accuse Vulkan and his sons as tech heretics.
I thought I read somewhere that the mechanicum had a good relationship with the salamanders, due to the trade in ideas and the resources of Nocturne. However, since most of my knowledge comes from videos and wikis, maybe I don’t know something.
@@Emrald7 I know the Iron hands and their successors chapters are really close to the mechanicus, so I wouldn’t be surprised if another chapter that really focused on building their own war gear like the salamanders, would also be really close to the mechanicus.
That’s definitely a possibility but maybe the Adeptus Mechanicus would consider him and his designs as holy? Like his old war gear is already sacred because he was a master craftsman so his future designs would probably be in the same category. Also, Belisarius Cawl has gotten the green light to do his thing so Vulkan even more so.
Having said all that, I do agree with you that the political friction will be there regardless.
I doubt Guilliman would stand by and allow the Adeptus Mechanicus to go to outright war with Vulkan and his sons. The Salamanders are one of the original legions who also happen to have a high degree of respect and admiration towards them. Also, my understanding is that Guilliman and Vulkan were at least cordial with each other.
@@BM-wf9uf they were good brothers but that is it for now
GMan - “Brother!”
Vulkan - “Brother!”
Give each other big hug
Vulkan - “What did I miss?”
GMan fills him in
Vulkan - “Flame On!”
"heck if I know, I just got here myself!"
I've been waiting for this one, Vulkan is one of my favorite Primarchs
Vulkan, The goodest of Good Bois.
Vulkan is my favourite Primarch by far. The Heresy novels featuring him seem to be a step up compared to the others
Okay everyone, say it with me now.
(STOMP STOMP) VULKAN LIVES!! (STOMP STOMP)
Given Vulkan's nature and the nature of his departure, I would say that it is a question of when he will be revealed, not if he will return. The question I ask is, will have recovered from his madness? I think he will. In fact, I'd bet on it.
Guilleman needs Vulkan back because Guilleman needs a hug, and Vulkan gives the best hugs!
Gulliman did say to himself at some point that he wishes if one of his genius engineer brothers return because in the current state of the Imperium he's heavily relying on the mechanicus and especially Cawl and he doesn't trust them but without guys like Vulkan or Ferrus he has no way to check whether Cawl inferior is an AI or not.
In my heart hes already back and is on a galactic romp with tushan and corvus. Playing boop the snoot with nuclear toads
I think there could be 2 main conflicts with vulkan returns. 1 is just his mental state. He may not remember anything or have gone slightly mad or changed from his long deaths and whatever he’s been up to over the last 10k. And 2, his disgust with the current state of the imperium might be extreme. Remember, he was the humanitarian primarch, and the imperium today runs on human death. Also he was a crafter vs the current imperiums imposed ignorance.
With all this in mind, I think it’s possible vulkan is filled with firey dragon rage and wishes to remove the high lords forever or fight the inquisition or some other drastic measure.
He'd have a Guilliman-esque "Why do I still live" moment except he'd probably start actively dismantling the Imperium, aka turn traitor.
Man, I really hope you do a video on the return of the “dead” primarchs also, I’d love to see Ferrus or Sanguinius back.
Weeeeeell... Anything is possible with Warp Magic involved, so I kinda expect this.
Vulkan lives! Stomp stomp! I'd kill for Bro Trip 40,000 to be conon.
You just want Robute to get that hug he should've gotten from his daddy.
I always say, all the imperium needs is Guilliman, the lion, the wolf, Vulkan, And Dorn.
Maybe in fluff, but I have no interest in that many primarchs being in the game and on the tabletop. The chaos primarchs have ALWAYS been active in the 40k galaxy, and they are just bloated demon princes, so it's fine. But the Imperium is already never suffering for variety, and we don't need 4 more demigod level entities for them to make dirty soup lists with.
@@saltedllama2759 disagree with you friend. Now adding Sanguinius, that would be overkill. But each is own, l feel like they're plenty of enemies to go around.
All the imperium needs to win is 4 more demi-gods. That's not too much to ask right?
I imagine, Vulkan would err on the side regarding Imperium Secundis given its impetus and what the Imperium has become given the thousands of years they had to endure without the guiding hands of the Emperot, Malcadore, or the Primarchs. The ecclesiarchal Imperium is the ultimate expression of "no atheists in the foxhole".
I think vulkan would walk on egg shells, just to avoid his incredible bad luck.
Also, he wouldn't know what was happening, at any moment, at any time, and he would die a thousand times all while doing literally the best thing for the occasion.
Vulkan's luck is so bad, that he would wake up in terra and the throne would spontaneously combust for reasons beyond anyone's control.
And then he'd wake up burning in ultramar, and then it would spontaneously rip another warp rift.
And somehow the imperium would prevail because of it.
People think that the dead psychers feed the emperor, wrong, it's vulkan's suffering and happiness alone.
I would like to see Vulkan taking on the Tyranids. Perhaps, he could go ham on some Maleceptors and a Swarm Lord.
Honestly Salamanders and the Imperial Fists as a chapter are perfect for the Tyranids. Salamanders because fire for days, and Imperial Fists because their fortifications can slow or even stop a Tyranid swarm. At least long enough for the Civilians to get away or for reinforcements to come.
@@rebel1717 I like the idea of Vulkan leading a Deathwatch expiditiary force to fight a massive hive fleet incursion. I want it to be of Legion strength and done at the behest of Vulkan, himself without the knowledge of Guilliman.
@@UncleMikeDrop totally! And I’d like to think Guilliman would let Vulkan do it too. As a sign of brotherhood, Guilliman goes against his own codex astartes and trusts Vulkan to do the right thing with his legion.
Man that Primaris-like armour fanart looks cool.
I have a question for Rho, what do you think of Fulgrim clone return to the Terra or Guilliman find him, he’s pure, and can be the salvation for the emperor Childrens, is that a possibility?
Only way he survives is if Guilliman finds out he's the real deal early. The Emperor's Children legion is too far gone to be saved, but clone Fulgrim could be equipped with Primaris Marines...
@@johnquach8821 are Primaris Marines counterfeit Marines?
Having Vulcan tracking down Fabius and finding clues about the clone of Fulgrim in the process, could be a fun direction🤔
He'd probably hug Guilliman til his back breaks and then proceed to...SOMEHOW...enter the Throne Room and hug the Emperor back to life
Pretty sure he already has a Tyranid Ranch and he's raising a friendly pack of Tyranids
Wel if anyone can build something to close the cicatrix maledictum then it would be vulkan.
Vulkan, The goodest of Good Bois.
The End Times would shift to a great hugging session.
Include drinks and Russ will pop out in no time!
Only heretics would hate Vulkan returning.
Wolf Lord Rho: “Just who doesn’t like this guy”
Me: “Well, I don’t think he’d get an Emperor’s Day card from the Night Haunter, even if Curze was still alive.”
Hope you do a Corvus one soon, he is my favorite Primarch. I know you have already done a video of that sort but another never hurts haha. Great video as always :)
When vulkan returns, Guilliman and magnus will have 1 thing in common... a broken spine >.>
Whoever voices Vulkan needs to take the advice that Peter Cullen's brother gave Peter before Peter auditioned for Optimus Prime: "Be a real Hero, be strong enough to be gentle"
He would unite the Imperium with the power of friendship and hugs!
Vulkan is already in the Siege of terra books Fury of magnus, he is defending the emperor against Magnus the red.
While I want Vulkan back.
I think he should be the third loyalist primarch to return. The second should be someone who doesn’t get along with Guilliman and makes some conflict between them. Not enough to start a civil war, but a thorn in each other’s side.
Then Vulkan comes in and becomes the calming voice that keeps Guilliman and the other primarch (let’s say The Lion) from killing each other
YEAH, VULKAN! THE REAL SAVIOR OF HUMANITY. the greatest primarch
If Vulkan came back id cry tears of joy.
If there are any 2 primarchs/legions to lead humanity you would be hard pressed to do better than RG and V
He would change the hearts of people through the power of hugs and friendship. No matter what the voices in his head say.
not going to lie, i cant see Vulkan without his orkie tics thanks to Text to Speach, plus in that universe he is already back and sitting in a corner next to the engine of woes were corvas is inside as well lol
Salamander fans…. What are your favorite books on the Salamanders and Vulkan?
My main concern is would a Imperial civil war occur between Vulkan and the Inquisition and the Grey Knights in the Dark Imperium similar to the month's of shame with the space wolves or the badab war over the treatment of Imperial citizens? Seeing the Inquisition and the Grey Knights murder millions over potential chaos corruption would cause Vulkan to be enrage. He almost got rid of the High Lords of Terra, so it wouldn't be too much to stretch to see him try to get rid of the Inquisition too for the sake of the people.
I have a few thoughts on what would happen if Vulkan returned. If he had recovered from his madness, I think his primary goal would be to find some way to get the Emperor off the Golden Throne and find another way to seal the Webway gate. Now, why do I say this? I believe Vulkan would likely return to Terra after reuniting with Guilliman now that he is the regent of the Imperium after hearing about his brother's interaction with the Emperor and his fractured mind. Who else could empathize better than Vulkan, who was mental broken for years? I believe Vulkan would see and hear the Emperor, pitying what he has become, despite his apparent and rising ascension. Vulkan likely still cherishes those intimate moments with his father and desire to end his father's suffering. Vulkan is the most gifted craftsman the Imperium has ever seen. If he can create the dead man's hand that is the Talisman of Seven Hammers, then he could find a way to forever seal away the Webway portal beneath the Imperial Palace.
I also think this would provide a potential moment for Vulkan to make amends with the Eldar, if only in a small way. The guilt of killing the unarmed Eldar in his fit of rage has eaten at him and by working with the Eldar, perhaps atone for his misdeed. This would likely be temporary and he would still likely despise Drukhari with all his being, but if working with his enemy could help him fight a common foe AND save his father, then I think he would walk that path.
General Spoiler Warning is my favorite leader of the Imperial Guard
I wonder wouldn't be make a great tension if Vulkan turns out to actually befriending xenos(like the tau)?he regretted burning that exodite world were humans and eldar coexist so it would be an interesting development seeing him expanding his compassion to xenos as well(except for dark eldar,tyranids and orks because they totally deserve to be purged)
Nah hell become the greatest warboss with a waaagh that will fight for the imperiem.
If he comes back I want him to come back a changed man, more focused on attacking the enemies, spreading his red hot ire across the stars.
You do know he's dead right? But It would be cool if he came back
If Vulkan returned, my psychic nerdgasm would make the Great Rift look like a mild rain shower.
(Cracks knuckles) I think all Abaddon needs is a big ol' hug
If Vulkan returned there would be a lot of hugs and broken spines.
I would love to see Vulkan return. My SM are 90% Ultramarines, but I paint up one guy from each box as a Salamander. Because they are my favorite chapter. Even have a bunch in the old colors from Badab.
Now that said Vulkan I would want to actually be found defending a world, even from other marines. Tales get up to Gilly that a huge black dragon keeps defeating the marines but allowing them to leave. Gilly checks it out and finds Vulkan, after a short fight Gilly jogs the memory of Vulkan and the fight ends with a big Vulkan hug, and maybe an actual tear (idc how godly Robute is, the comfort and relief of having his brother back, and the reassurance a physical embrace would melt the stress and it would have to go somewhere) from the reunion.
Gilly could tell Vulkan that he and the others may have been right, that splitting up the legions may have been a bad idea, could tell him of his fights with Magnus and Morty. And for the whole "unremembered empire" Vulkan would understand. Gilly is logical. And the set up to keep everything running in the event of Big E death, makes sense. The fact that Gilly and Lion both agreed to Sanguinious being the ruler, all in Gilly modus operandi. What he may be less ok with is Gilly using religion as his tool. To lie to everyone in such a way, it wouldn't sit right with the Just Vulkan.
Salamander primaris. Ooft talk about strong.
My current theory on vulkan is that he split his essence within the nine artifacts the salamanders need to obtain.
Only when they discover them all and place them all together will his essence be able to recombine and allow his perpetuality to activate and resurrect him.
Im sorry I HAVE TO
VULKAN LIVES
STOMP STOMP
I'd love to see him visit the so far recluse that is Perturabo if he returned.
what if he finds the perfect fulgrim clone?
@@henrypaleveda7760 Then Treyzan will have both a reincarnated Primarch and a cloned Primarch in his collection.
@@tomsimpkins1211 they are part of the same set
Vulcan would be a good figure head for the Imperium. Like Sanguinius in Secundus...he is likeable by all. He could preside over a human led administration. He is perfect because of his empathy. Other primarchs could focus on their traits...war, politics, crusade. He could rally human and transhuman alike.
This is just me but I like to imagine he still on his respawn timer and he is just patiently waiting like a moba
🐉 STOMP STOMP 🐉
But I want to boop the snoot! Said Vulcan on Catachan.
Vulkan coming back could bring some much needed compassion to the imperium. I would like to see how he feels about the high lords though.
I think Vulkan would side with Guilliman on matters regarding the High Lords. However, if Vulkan does come back there is no telling what his motives will be. He left the Imperium following the heresy to do his own thing, he had had enough. I honestly am not convinced Vulkan would give a shit one way or the other about anything outside of the Salamanders.
"...how he feels about the High Lords..."
What High Lords? 😁
Vulkan is to me the best Primarch. It would be great to see him returning. It would help the Imperium a lot.
"Hugs all round mah friends!!!!
I suspect given Fabius Bile's propensity for cloning the elimination of one Fabius Bile might be only the ending of a clone and not the ending of Bile.
the problem with vulkan is that he is a tech dude, so no matter how lost he is, he could make a space ship and go back the imperium. they need to come with a good reason why he hasnt returned yet
Amnesia
And always remember, "It is also a Hammer!"
In short, hugs for everyone!
I have it on good authority that vulkan will be the next loyal primarch released.
What authority.
What if Vulkan returns?
I'll tell you what, I would stop my partial boycott of buying GW ( yes I still buy bloodbowl, but 40k is way out of control pricewise) and welcome my marines back from the packing crate and into the display cabinet
One of the most legendary imo should be Sarpedon I am reading the omnibus and idk ever since I first heard about soul Drinkers and Sarpedon I just felt a connection immediately they are the ones who really did saw the truth but still did bad things and that's why as my Christmas's gift I ask from santa to make an novel about the primaris Marines learning about the original soul Drinkers and somewhat respecting them and this is just my wish I want them to find the soul Drinkers who went to warp(I may be wrong but as far as ik 3 survived including Sarpedon) and they will cherish their past and maybe get The Soulspear again.
Was Vulkan actually fighting when they found him or just wondering and decided to help? That story was always weird to me.
as lord dorn once said... the war of the beast was... weird
We need more Salamanders and better writers. There are no major badass captains like for other legions.
Imagine a Primaris Salamander.....they would be built like brick shit houses.
Are you implying Tu-Shan is not a badass. I know he's a chapter master not a captain but he's still awesome.
@@lizadon0740 we need at least 3 or 4 badass captains. Obviously a few have to die off as they make the the ultimate sacrifice for humanity and the imperium.
“And as a brother with no mutations in his bloodline”
…sweats in Red Eyes Black Dragon cosplay…
I would like to see an unrestrained Vulkan. The Vulkan who knows his strength far surpassed that of his brothers. The Vulkan with the knowledge of the wonders of the Dark Age of Technology such as the doomsday device he crafted to implant upon the golden throne to destroy Terra should it fail. Quite frankly of all the primarch's he's possibly the most dangerous due to the knowledge he posses. He was too kind to utilize said knowledge before. However after ten thousand years will the restraints he placed on himself still be there. Or will he unleash weapons of cosmic might without restraint.
Out of everyone Vulkan would still restrain himself, actually I see Vulkan giving up on humanity has a whole, Vulkan has never really been a big fan of leading armies, he just wanted an easy life. Out of everything I see Vulkan working in a black smith shop on some world, just refusing to return, no fighting, no hatred, he just wants to live a nice peaceful life, maybe adopted a family over time.
With Guilliman being only person to understand Vulkan's wish, just leaving him on the world, while galaxy moves on without him has, he suffers from PTSD. Only thing that bring him out of retirement is if Nocturne was attacked by the full might of the Drukhari, because nothing would make Vulkan madder then hear his home about to become a slave planet.
@@Fourtytwo4242 That is a scene I’d love to see. The Indomitus Crusade coming upon a small cluster of agri-worlds that seems an oasis of calm. People are comfortable, cared for. They do their work and tell tales of a great smith of legend showed them how to turn their swords into plowshares.
Imagine Roboute being brought this intel and telling the crusade force it will divert around these worlds. “They are in good hands.”
Considering post 40K is so dark and gloomy... they gonna need those hugs... lol... TTS aside though... I just hope GW doesn't send Vulkan at the Orks again or some other solo mission/vendetta... it would be interesting to see how "the most human" Primarch would react to the ugliness of 40K... its a golden opportunity for them to write some "30K" quality stuff... How would he deal with the Ecclesiarchy and Guilliman situation... I think it would be more exciting than I initially considered... it would also open a door to several more books about those relic weapons he created too, excuse the gadget and tech fiend I am......
He look for Magnus to give him a ''I not mad that you ruined everything forever''-hug!
And then goes in a jolly family adventure with Corvus, once Corax remembers how to use his legs! (While lamenting having left the box)
@@estebanuranga8267 And than go to Catachan to boop a frog on its noggin. and than died by the hands of a planetary governor and the great traitor Clancy himself.
I think a return of the Gorgon would be an interesting read. I think Ferrus Manus would have some major consequences. He's got to have some opinions right ?
My top 3 are Gulliman, Vulkan and Corax. I'm looking forward to when the Corax video comes out!
Vulkan crosses over to brings the Emperor's Light, by which I mean Promethean fire, lots of Promethean fire.
Upon crossing, Vulkan glances and sees Black Templar with fancy new flamer weapons while his legion sit ignored by GW.
"BLASPHEMY!"
Vulkan proceeds to invent and equip his Primaris Sons of Nocturne with his new 'Combi-Heavy-Multimelta-Megaflamers'.
The universe is brought back in balance. Hugs are given.
A toad has his snoot booped, Vulkan dies again...
But no worries, because 5 minutes Vulkan Lives!
* Stomp stomp
Sounds are heard from a strange mini Carlike device in Vulkan's vault...
Rumors are that a third, poetry reading Primarch lies inside.
Adventure!
Best Forge Father EVER!
VULCAN LIVES!
*STOMP STOMP*
I got an idea for future what ifs. What if confirmed dead primarchs returned next? Like Sanguinius and Ferras Mannus?
And
What if a traitor primarch became loyalist and returned to the fold next?
Now you can avoid impossibilities like Angron and Mortarion. But it would be fun to speculate what a previously traitor primarch would do if he returned as a loyalist. Perturabo, clone Fulgrim, Lorgar, and ESPECIALLY Magnus.
Vulkan obtains full command of the Death Corpse, battle reports now claim zero casualties...
You say Vulcan is perhaps Robute's best ally amongst the Primarchs, I disagree.
I keep coming back to the beginning of Corax's Primarch book (you remember Corax, right? He always seems to be over looked in these things). In it we have the pair of them talking and it's Corax that gives Robute the idea for a Codex Imperialis, the governing document he eventually writes after his return.
Robute and Corax also have an enemy in common, both would like nothing more than to stick Lorgar's head on pike and I feel Route would be happy to focus on Snakey boy Fulgrim knowing that Lorgar would have to deal with their morose sibling.
The only real speed bump I can see is that (Spoiler) Corax has more or less cast aside his mortal body in favour of his Warp form. Perhaps that might be a deal breaker, or Corax would be able to resume a more Primarch shape?
Either way I think Corax would be a perfect choice. He's just independent enough to question and help Robute while being loyal and dedicated enough to not rock the boat too much.
I think Vulkan only served the Imperium of man because he sees it as the best way to server and protect the people. With Vulkan I feel that's what matters most of all and as much as he loves his father I think Vulkan would try and clap some Emperor cheeks if the big E went all genocidal. The unremembered Empire was created with good pure intent for the well being of the people and Vulkan will understand this. Mr. Rowboat Smerf Man did the best he could with the information he had at the time. (Disclaimer: I have not read those books but watched videos on them) I wish I had them shiny teefs for 40k fix I NEED MY 40k FIX!!!
Every damn video about the Primarchs "The Primarchs don't have a problem with Robute Gulieman as Lord Commander" 🙄 complete horse shit !
I really REALLY hope GW comes out with a 40k Vulkan model before I pass away lol
Great video, but you did miss out one critical point: the Salamanders are one of the smallest and most diminished of the old Loyalist Legions, the Primaris Marines have been an immeasurable boon to the lineage of Vulkan (given that the primaris founding was equal between all gene line, this means tens of thousands of new Salamanders). I think his first order of business would be to organise and mentor all those of his blood. Which would be predominantly Primaris, while hypno-indoctrinated in mechanistic combat, lack instruction in the Promethean cult. Additionally he would reorganise their combat doctrine and manufacturing to support and prosecute the Indomitus Crusade, and whatever Cawl may have devised you know Vulkan would vastly exceed in remaking (can you imagine him tinkering with the Primaris Aggressor armour? Cawl may be the "Prime Conduit of the Omnissiah", but Vulkan is Vulkan, what takes Cawl millennia to devise, he probably makes as a hobby on his weekends). His deepest worry would be those of his line lacking the temperament necessary to be a true son of the Lord of Drakes, he would not jump into Indomitus, but like the fine craftsman he is, take time in rebuilding all the chapters of his lineage into a fire of hope for the righteous, and an unstoppable cleansing flame to the damned. I shall cry many tears when there are thousands upon thousands of sons of the Lord of Drakes crying out "VULKAN LIVES!" as their Primarch leads them Into the Fires of Battle, and Unto the Anvil of War.
I wonder if Rho is gonna cover the wildcards of Clone Fulgrim and Curze, both are very big wild cards for obvious reasons, for Curze, it'd involve getting himself a body so that his soul can get out of that soul stone, and then...what? He was a traitor, but not a Chaos God traitor, and in his madness, he very much did seek his father's approval (see the incident when he created this...golem...of his father and had a vision which may or may not have been real, though I subscribe to the idea that it was).
As for Clone Fulgrim, he clearly represents the good side of Fulgrim in a kind of Magnus shattered soul way, and he'd undoubtedly lead a Emperor's Children civil war (he's shown to have the ability to convert even his chaos infected sons back to "the light") against his serpentine self, but how would Guilliman react to this? Would he sit back and watch (to maybe try and eliminate whoever's left), would he intervene, and if so would he intervene to kill them both or to help out his clone brother? Also there's the question of, let's say the most optimistic thing happens, let's say Guilliman recognizes that CFulgrim is his brother and he manages to get over the myriad of issues he has with him and embrace him, how would the rest of the Imperium react? Even if Guilliman wanted to welcome this returned Fulgrim, I doubt the Imperium would let him. It'd take nothing short of a proclamation by the Emperor himself to prevent them from either disregarding Guilliman's opinion or declaring him a traitor as well 😅
Vulkan returning would be a godsend for Gullimen.. besides maybe Corax I can't see a better Brother for him to return.
Bare with me, but as Covax is Nightwing (because people think the night haunter is batman), I see Vulkan as superman.
Really due one thing. He's the strongest. Everyone knows he's the strongest. Everyone wants feats.
... that's the least interesting part about Vulkan. Yes, he can bench press a stack of land raiders. But all he wants is the betterment of all. That is all he is. And it's fascinating when beings of power only think about the good they can do with it.
Pointless. No offence to everyone’s favorite chocolate teddybear but his return would not bring much to the plot/setting.
His legion Isn’t large rnought to have any actual impact in the Long War, and he does not posses any tactical, military or organization skills that would turn the course of the war in any impactful way.
The only thing that would make Vulcan’s return somehow impactful would be of he would create some really powerful weapon, or leaned how to create the necrontyr blackstone and manufacture it on massive scale.
We already have far too many flame throwers in the setting, sisters of battle alone are using it waaaay too much.
( but of Vulcan can use power of WAAAGH now to control orks then I demand his return immediatly!)
I don't see a Vulkan return happening. There's no downside, no immediately apparent conflict that'd crop up or be made worse if he returned and it'd only represent hope for repairing the Golden Throne, aid and friendship for Guilleman, etc. We can't have anything that nice. I guess maybe they could bring him back just to break his spirit with how dire and impossible everything is but that might even be TOO dark.
What happens with Vulkan returns? Just one thing: GIVE ME A HUG, BROTHER!
You DONT want too many primarchs to return because they would improve the lives of imperium people and ruin the grimdark.
If I was running the show. I would send Vulcan to attend to the Tau concern. He coild defeat and… subjugate the Tau. Gaining access to advance technology… might need to keep this quiet though. …
If he returns, i want ,,VULKAN LIVES" to be all over 40k forums
IDK; everytime i see Vulkan, I can't take him seriously and it's not his fault. The authors build him up as this incredible guy and then kill him off or make him lose in almost hilariously horrific and tragic ways just to see him come back for more punishment. Poor guy !
