How anti-climatic would it be if it was made cannon that, the two missing Primarchs really did exist, and the only reason they are missing is because they died in stupidly silly manners?

It would actually be a much needed fun poke at the grimdark seriousness of the setting

A little more boring, but one of them dying by simply landing on a wrong planet and being killed by something, while another not surviving some kind o war they started (almost every primarch started some war on his homeworld) would be really into the general atmosphere of 40k grimderpness.
Wyatt Nelson
I would still like it if one of them publicly proved Emps wrong about something, who had them and their entire legion deleted from history in an autistic shitfit.
Preferably something inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, one step up from correcting his spelling or something.

I like to think that one of the lost Primarchs was someone named Bill Johnson who did amazingly through school and made a career out of taking over the world of business finance, and was never noticed outside his homeworld.
Jayden Johnson
This is seriously one of the better explanations for lost primarchs I have heard here.
Kayden Reyes
>the two missing Primarchs really did exist they did exist, until the space yiffs pacified them. the remains of the legion joined the ultramarines.

This. 40k was best when it was ridiculous.

Pineapple can work very well on saltier pizzas, like bbq-glazed beef and pepperoni. It's a sometimes topping though, not an everyday choice.

My head canon is that one of them simply refused to serve. He was excited to meet his father, got the grand tour, was introduced to his legion, but was so horrified by E's plans that he went back to his home world and refused to budge. E couldn't have a son that wasn't with the program, so exterminatus'd the place and struck the guy from history.

Confirmed for lost primarch?
Leo Allen
Maybe he contradicted the emperor's rejection of religion and/or xeno acceptance, or was a pacifist.
More likely and more sad would be if they were raised on a xeno-accepting planet and didn't want to betray their alien followers.

what this is
Colton Sanchez
What if that Primarch refused to join Emps, because he could not leave his world for other reason? Like him beeing the only thing to stop it from beeing fucked over? Imagine a non-fucked-in-the-head version of Konrad Curze the night haunter. He gave an oath to protect that world forever for it's inhabitants saved his life when he crashed on the planet.
Primarch's homeworld has has a warp rift on it, Emperor foresees that Primarch will slowly get fully corrupted by chaos influence. With a heartache, Emperor orders an exterminatus.
Cooper Garcia
So basically Superman but gets killed by General Zod.
Xavier Moore
Actually, it follows this user's ideas: He's a pacifist and religious leader. Think Buddha, but a living weapon. His planet has a webway gate and frequently hosts harlequins as guests. When the exterminatus happens, he leads some of his people into the webway and finds a maiden world to resettle.
Also he is a blank, with a null field that occludes an entire solar system and causes none of the negative side effects in normals that normal blanks do.
Also his name is Sensei cuz winking at Star Child.
Also I am very good at making sues. But that's unrelated.
Nathan Perez
Actually blank patriarch sounds cool as fuck. Why make him immune to blank effects? People he gave an oath to protect hate him, but follow his leadership because he is a fucking primarch after all.
You theory of him beeing bros with eldar goes against lore though, psychers get fucked over when a blank is nearby, now imagine a blank that can cover an entire system in a null field.
Nathaniel Morgan
In Queensland we'll put banana on pizzas with prawns. Sydneysiders will put egg on it. It's a good time.
John Perez
That sounds atrocious. I must try it.
Adam Brooks
I like to think something along the lines of event horizon happened to one of them and he ended up melded with and becoming his warship. So then there's a very angry, very confused, agonized world-killer floating around in the dark between stars, waiting.
Brody Ross
For a second I wanted to send a screencap of this heresy to my Italian friend (Italian as in from Italy not Italian from NYC) but then decided not to, he's kinda cool after all, why kill the poor fucker.
Aaron Rivera
i like the idea but that example is terrible
that wont kill a primarch
Dominic Foster
The idea behind the side-effect less null powers was to have him be a peaceful counterpoint to Big E, embodying all the 'right' ideals of peace and serenity, granting the feeling of peace to those around him, and thus showing that it actually could work as an alternative to the Great Crusade and Imperium. Which would make it sting all the more that E destroys it all in favour of conquest, war, and domination.
As an alternate take, I like the idea of a blank so disturbing that it fucks with E's powers, and must be destroyed for the good of everything, let alone everyone. Make the primarch fully aware of the horror his existence inflicts on others, understanding that his death would be for the best, but made vows of protection to his home world and can't honorably discharge them. He stands on the surface watching the virus bombs drop, surrounded by the corpses of his suicidal retinue, and whispers through his tears a thank you to his gene sire.
Jonathan Gomez
>Maybe he contradicted the emperor's rejection of religion and/or xeno acceptance, or was a pacifist.
I think better still might be he rejected Emps views on human supremacy, and could articulate why. Point out that humans need something to hate, and that even if he succeeds in his Grand Crusade, he's going to have to reconquer the galaxy every millenia or so, because these fucks will never stop fighting each other over stupid shit.
Carson Cook
Are Aussies even human
Nicholas Flores
The thing is, even the Chaos Primarchs agree that it was a good kill. Hell, even LORGAR goes "Okay, I guess they had to be killed."
Joshua Carter
as an italian i can confirm, this killed me.
Kevin Gonzalez
Noise marine guitar fluff is right now though. It's literally there in Fulgrim (the HH novel).
Christopher Reed
IIRC, it was because "apple" was used as a generic name for fruits in that time's dialect and the thing kinda looks like a pinecone if you squint enough.
Eli Smith

Isaac Murphy
I believe that was the intent behind them. Since I doubt they were as shit at their jobs as angron, it's more likely they failed in conquest, alongside their legions.
