Which Primarchs are canonically dead?
Canonically dead Primarchs in Warhammer 40k include Horus Lupercal, Sanguinius, Ferrus Manus, Konrad Curze, and Alpharius Omegon (at least one of the twins). Horus was killed by the Emperor, Sanguinius by Horus, Ferrus Manus by Fulgrim, and Curze assassinated; Alpharius was killed by Rogal Dorn, though the exact fate of Omegon remains debated but he is often presumed dead too.Which primarchs are really dead?
Those confirmed dead are: Curze (assassinated), Alpharius (killed by Dorn), Ferrus Manus (killed by Fulgrim), Sanguinius (killed by Horus), and Horus himself (killed by the Emperor). The status of all the other 8 primarchs is open to speculation.Who are the two forgotten primarchs?
The Lost Primarchs of the First Founding Space Marine Legions are the two primarchs of the IInd and XIth Legions. They were, for unknown reasons, deliberately expunged along with the Astartes of their Legions from all known Imperial records and archives before the onset of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium.Which Primarch fell to Nurgle?
Mortarion. In the Warhammer 40,000 setting, Mortarion is one of the twenty Space Marine Primarchs, genetically engineered by the Emperor. He led the Death Guard Legion and, during the Horus Heresy, fell to Chaos pledging himself and his men to Nurgle.Is Sanguinius permanently dead?
Yes, in the core Warhammer 40k lore, Sanguinius is permanently dead, killed by Horus during the Horus Heresy, with his body broken and soul dispersed, though his immense spiritual legacy and presence linger, leading to theories and spiritual manifestations (like the Sanguinor) that aren't true resurrection but echoes of his sacrifice. While some fan theories or potential future events might involve clones or spiritual avatars, his actual physical self and conscious soul are gone, and many fans believe his true return would cheapen his ultimate sacrifice.Warhammer 40K Youtubers Are a DISGRACE.
Was Alpharius actually killed?
Yes, the Primarch Alpharius is confirmed dead, killed by Rogal Dorn on Pluto during the Horus Heresy, but his twin brother Omegon survived, took up his mantle, and his ultimate fate remains a mystery, with Alpha Legionnaires often claiming to be him to sow confusion, making his "death" a recurring theme.Could Sanguinius be revived?
While Sanguinius's death was definitive, the possibility of his return in Warhammer 40,000 lore is a popular fan theory, driven by the return of other Primarchs and lore hints about his soul's survival in the Warp, with potential avenues including a cloned body, a psychic manifestation (like the Sanguinor), or a full resurrection, though many believe it would cheapen his sacrifice.Does Nurgle actually love Isha?
Yes, in Warhammer 40k lore, Nurgle genuinely adores Isha, the Aeldari goddess of healing, but expresses this "love" in his twisted, chaotic way by keeping her captive in his Plague Gardens to test his new diseases on her, seeing it as a benevolent gift and a way to gauge their potency. Isha, a goddess of life and healing, can cure herself but endures this eternal torment while secretly whispering cures to mortals, making their relationship tragic and deeply unhealthy from a mortal perspective.Who is the weakest Primarch?
In the lore of Warhammer 40,000, Lorgar Aurelian (of the Word Bearers) is widely considered the weakest Primarch in terms of direct combat prowess and martial skill, being more a scholar and preacher, though he gained significant power through warp influence later; other contenders for "weakest" (in a fight) sometimes include the subtle Alpharius Omegon or the flawed Corvus Corax, but Lorgar consistently ranks lowest in duels before the Horus Heresy.Who is the oldest space marine still alive?
The oldest living loyalist Space Marine in Warhammer 40k lore is widely considered to be Commander Dante of the Blood Angels, who has led his Chapter for over 1,100 years and is nearing 1,500 years old, though Bjorn the Fell-Handed (in a Dreadnought) and other ancient figures like Ortan Cassius are also contenders, with some Chaos Marines or those in stasis potentially even older.Did any traitor legion stay loyal?
Yup, there were sizable pockets in most of the Traitor Legions that stayed loyal, and were culled. On the flip side, there also were traitors among the loyalist legions as well (most well known being the Dark Angels and White Scars).Was the 9th Legion ever found?
No, the Ninth Legion (Legio IX Hispana) was never definitively "found" as a complete, intact unit, but its disappearance remains one of history's great mysteries, with evidence suggesting it vanished after being active in Britain around 108 AD, likely suffering heavy losses in campaigns in the north or being disbanded/transferred, though specific archaeological proof of its final destruction is lacking.Are there any female Primarchs?
Primarchs are just a one off bigger Space Marine. So no. No female Primarchs.Is Leman Russ dead?
No, Leman Russ is not confirmed dead in Warhammer 40k lore; he vanished into the Eye of Terror after the Horus Heresy, promising to return during the Imperium's darkest hour, with his fate remaining a mystery, though some newer lore hints at him saying he was dying when he left, fueling speculation he might be gone for good or is in a state beyond death. He is currently considered "lost," not deceased, but his return is a popular theory for future lore.What event killed the most humans?
The event that killed the most humans depends on how "event" is defined, but World War II (70-85 million deaths) and the 1918 Flu Pandemic (50-100 million deaths) are the top contenders for overall single conflicts/pandemics, while the 1556 Shaanxi Earthquake (830,000 deaths) is often cited as the deadliest single natural disaster. Other massive death tolls come from prolonged conflicts like the Mongol Conquests or events like the Black Death, which killed huge portions of populations.Why is Horus Heresy 3.0 bad?
This is not a narrative wargame, as much as 1st and 2nd, this is a hybrid of competetive written with a few Narrative/thematic mechanics sprinkled in. And it just doesn't work well as either. All in all, 3rd edition is a backwards step as a Horus Heresy game, and has fractured and done terrible damage to the community.Which Primarch has the saddest story?
Angron. Not only was he a slave from birth to death, but when he had a chance to really, truly help, He was told no.Is Guilliman stronger than Angron?
Guilliman held his own in a 2v1 against Angron/Lorgar. He has defeated Lorgar, Mortarion, Corax and Magnus. It was "spread" (by the Alpha Legion) that he defeated Alpharius during the HH - But even Guilliman doesn't recall that fight. That being said - Guilliman doesn't shine in 1v1 fights...Are Tau the weakest faction?
The only reason Tau are "weak" is because the imperium is the poster faction. If you actually read Tau lore they are just as strong as any other faction but they choose to attempt peace first rather than outright attacking.Who did Nurgle marry?
However in return for his 'bravery' Nurgle forced Isha to marry him. Well more accurately, he calls her his bride but she doesn't call him her husband.Are skaven aligned with Nurgle?
In traditional warhammer fantasy lore though, no, skaven have nothing to do with nurgle - and in general, even in AoS, only clan pestilens is really related even tangentially to one of the other chaos gods - none of the other clans follow tzeentch or khorne or slaanesh or anything.Why does everyone love Sanguinius?
All the other Primarchs loved him (at least before they fell to Chaos). Chaos itself wanted Sanguinius as their Warmaster. He is probably the best individual warrior among all the Primarchs. He was able to defeat greater demons, demons Primarchs and even took down a Titan.Who are the sons of Sanguinius?
The Sons of Sanguinius is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter and a Successor Chapter of the original Blood Angels Legion that was created during the Second Founding, which occurred during the early 31st Millennium following the dark years of the Great Scouring.Who will be the next returning Primarch?
While nothing is officially confirmed, strong community speculation and lore hints suggest Leman Russ (Loyalist) or Perturabo (Traitor) are the most likely next Primarchs to return in Warhammer 40k, with Russ favored for a loyalist counterpart to the recent chaos returns, and Perturabo being set up by narratives involving Vashtor. Other possibilities include Jaghatai Khan or Rogal Dorn for loyalists, and Lorgar for traitors, but Russ and Perturabo have the most immediate narrative threads.
