Primarch literally named "Horus."

Not my usual Thousand Sons soundtrack but I'll take it.

Yes, they did.

No, I'm not.

No, King Magnus I of Norway was born 1024, and the "Viking Age" ended in 1066 (ignoring also that Norse people still existed for over 200 years after the Viking Age, too).

This is the question that haunted Horus and ultimately caused his fall to chaos.

I'm pretty sure norse people are still around

>Your fabulous blood-themed brother gets the wings instead

Yeah, no wonder he was so salty. Everybody else kept stealing his shit.

>Primarch literally named Vulkan
>Roman God of Fire and Blacksmithing
>Leads a group of black smiths who love fire

Understandable, have a nice day.

It just refers to people who lived in and around Scandinavia and spoke Norse. They're all dead now, just their descendants are left (Scandinavians).

This is my headcannon now.

That's a Bass Pro Shop now, user.

>No, King Magnus I of Norway was born 1024, and the "Viking Age" ended in 1066 (ignoring also that Norse people still existed for over 200 years after the Viking Age, too).

He wasn't king until 1035, the arse-end of the Viking Age. Calling him a Viking is like saying someone born in 1800 was known as a famous pirate with a meaningful effect on pirate culture.

By 1000 the Vikings had all settled down and decided to be kings or farmers. What's next, you going to claim the Normans were Vikings too just because of their origins?

Nope. Faggots, yes. Norse, no.

user, Fulgrim strove to be perfect in EVERY way. That includes education.

Named after the crippled blacksmith

Angron is the one who is crippled.

>Calling him a Viking is like saying someone born in 1800 was known as a famous pirate with a meaningful effect on pirate culture.
That's not what he meant.
Notice the apostrophes.

>Primarch literally named "Rowboat"
>Marines aren't aquatic warfare specialists

What were they thinking?

Angron is not crippled, he is just special

Smelly dumb, northern scum.

The black legion/sons of horus symbol is literally an egyptian symbol.

Black Legion. Egyptian symbol.

:thinking:

>He wasn't king until 1035, the arse-end of the Viking Age.

Doesn't matter. You said "the "Norse" Magnus thing doesn't even come until well after the Viking Age". You were wrong.

>Calling him a Viking is like saying someone born in 1800 was known as a famous pirate with a meaningful effect on pirate culture.

Definitely not. Not only are you adding the requisite that now people needed to have a meaningful effect on culture, you're also shifting the goal posts for what constitutes part of the Viking Age. Magnus was part of the Viking Age. You were wrong.

>By 1000 the Vikings had all settled down and decided to be kings or farmers.

Nope. King Harald Hardrada was born in 1015 and was still a Viking. You are wrong.

>What's next, you going to claim the Normans were Vikings too just because of their origins?

Normans were Norse, and the first generation of Normans were Vikings at one point, yes. However, you seem to be using the words Norse and Viking interchangeably, which tells me you don't know what the fuck you're talking about (ignoring all the things you've gotten wrong so far, of course).

Well to be fair he did bring THE industrial revolution on his planet.

He wasn't named after a fulcrum, he was named after a fulgurite, the crystal that forms after a lightning strike.

Leman Russ = "the red sweetheart" or "the Russian mistress". Look it up. Gets put in charge of the Nordic types who obviously should go to Magnus.

Wait... is THAT where my eye went?

This may be related.

Stop, user, you're making too much sense. I don't want this headcanon.

checks out

Wikipedia says Magnus was a Roman name, but not a common one. The Scandinavians got it from Charlemagne (Carolus Magnus - Charles the Great) and started using it a lot.

Oddly enough, Carolus is Latin but it came from Germanic (Karl). In medieval Europe the Germanic tribes who'd conquered formerly Roman territory used it, so it entered French and Spanish. Then the Normans conquered Britain and brought the Frenchified version (Charles) over, even though the British already had Karl/Carl. Now they have both.

Or just fulgur: lightning.

I think Leman Russ and Angron were named after real-life people that the old 40k writers knew. In Russ's case they made some tweaks so it'd fit. Agron was Angry Ron, a local bouncer at the bar they went to.

Chhogori is a local name for K2, the mountain. Not quite the same as Chogoris's official name of Mundus Planus...

I exhaled at that

No, that's asp Perturabo and autist Dorn.

When was a kid I tough Lion El'Jonson was some kind of joke with Lionel Richie

Obviously they couldn't. If there was a Primarch Lion El'Richi nobody would ever play any other faction. I know I wouldn't.

>Rogal Dorn

that's the most chill pic of Angron I've ever seen

>legion called Imperial Fists
>actually have imperial arms and bodies too

>legion called imperial fists
>their bolterrounds and missiles have the regular shape instead of being shaped like fists.

GW are you even serious?

Vulkan literally means Volcano in my language too.

>killed half his legion trying to break into an empty building
>calls literally anyone else a failure

Bolter rounds would be a bit much, obviously, but I want them to have a rocket fist weapon. Maybe just a Power Fist with a rocket at the back a la Pacific Rim.

It will more embarassing for the northerners.

>Ful means ugly in swedish
Ugly-grim

But the northern Europe example is clearly from the dark ages, and peasant level at that. While the American example is well into the renaissance

>"Grim" means ugly in Danish.
His name is Ugly-ugly.

top jep

And the other example were at least 500 years, prior from what the north had. That's the motherfucking point of the mock pic.

Obviously, I'm not denying that asians, old near east and meds where way ahead of us. Just that comparative dates would be less misleading.

Horus started out as a regular guy, when they made up the primarchs they made him one.

As for why he was named Horus, it was meant to be a parallel to the myth of Horus fighting Set

Lion El'Jonson = Lionel Jonson, an english poet who wrote "the dark angel"

Fulgrim = Fulgur is Latin for dazzling/mesmerizing

Perturabo = Perdurabo is latin for endurance and combined with the word Perturbed (upset)

Jaghatai Khan = Reference to Chagatai, Gengis Khan's son

Leman Russ = Leman is an Old English term to refer to those who are widely beloved/revered, which fits the early lore of him having a tank named after him. Russ is from the Norse word rus aka "those who row", which was sometimes used to refer to vikings as a whole

Rogal Dorn = Regal, Dorn means stronghold in Old English

Konrad Curze = Heart of Darkness reference to Kurtz and Joseph Conrad

Sanguinius = Sanguinis is latin for blood, Sanguine means optimistic

Ferrus Manus = Iron Hand

Angron = Angry

Roboute Guilliman = Robert Guilleiman was a boston street artist famous for blue paint in the 80s. Seems a stretch but it is has been confirmed by Rick Priestly himself

Mortarion = Mors is latin for death

Magnus the Red = Reference to Albert Magnus, a bishop who advocated a greater role of science & reason in the church similar to the council of Nikea

Horus = Egyptian God who fought Set, a counterbalancing force. In the original myth Horus is the good guy as a bit in-joke by Priestly

Lorgar = Logar province in Afghanistan which has been the site of a ton of religious violence

Vulkan = Roman god of smithing Vulcan

Corvus Corax = Latin term for raven

Alpharius Omegon = beginning & end

I know what you're trying to say when you say there are no Norse people alive still. But there are, people have built pagan temples/shrines in the last 20 years, people worship pagan gods even if you think it's just larping, and it is in fact you who is the faggot.

Butt blasted kraut detected

It is meant to be misleading, this might blow your thick skull but, its supposed to be a joke.

>Lion El'Jonson
>Named after a faggot
>Primarch doesnt even fuck dudes or writes poetry.

I'd love it if someone were to do a genderbent version of this. His pose is asking fo it.

shitter shattered anglo detected.

Dude he drooled, random parts of his face twitched or went slack, and he was literally incapable of focusing on anything but killing for long.

Even the World Eaters described him as "ruined" and "broken."

Dude had legit brain damage. And it was getting worse. Only reason he didn't die is because Lorgar (his only friend) bro-ed it up and saved him with immortality.

SO IT IS SPOKEN, SO SHALL IT BE

Well it's not supposed to be spelled that way. The archtraitor's name was actually "Horace" and no one's bothered to spell check

Magnus sounds like Magus, witch is a follower of the Zoroaster and the singular of magi.
