I am begging for GW to make Russ come back riding an eight legged twin headed wolf called Slepnir and him be more of an Odin style character with his spear as his weapon. In the Emperor's name make it happen GW!!
That's a neat idea. Odin has Sleipnir, an eight-legged horse, but has two wolves, Geri and Freki, and two ravens, Huginn and Muninn. It would be kind of interesting to combine all of them into some kind of warp entity he tamed: an eight-legged legged horse body with two wolf heads and four huge raven wings. Naming it would be tricky. Sleigefrehugmun? That's kind of the first syllable of each name. Or just give Russ a bunch of mutations from the warp, eight horse legs, wolf heads for hands and four wings for a head, lol. It's funny, Magnus already claimed dibs on having one eye like Odin.
Lion already old. Leman is going to be the same as when he left, because it would be redundant with Logan Grimnar also being old. Plus imagine the banter of Leman calling the lion old hhahah
@@cegesh1459 No body not dead all you got is a hand and for all we know when Konrad Curze shook his hand and saw his death all he saw was that hand's Death
@@TheOtakuKat No, there was a specific book that described his fight with Lorgar in the warp. And then there was a collection where we were only told the story of Corax's disappearance, which we had already heard before, that he supposedly waiting for forgiveness from the big E in his tower, but I repeat, this was presented as a possible rumor among the raven guard, and the book was and it is canon
Otaku Kay is either being a contrarian or just painfully dumb. He doesn’t literally mean Daemon Primarch he means his abilities and what he got from the Warp.
Maybe a hot take, but I don't think another Primarch should return in this edition yet, as we've had virtually no new lore for the Lion, it would be a bit strange to reintroduce another one without having had much Lion lore before.
Now that the cat is out of the bag they’re probably gonna speed up the returns now with 40k getting huge. They want that momentum now that 30k has ended
@@maciejwisocki2542not a hot take at all but irrelevant take as you are not games workshop so doesn’t matter how smart or good idea you give gw gonna do the opposite
For loyalists I think it would be best for GW to bring back a character like Vulkan or the Khan. They've proven with the Lion that they're currently incapable of bringing back a world/lore altering Primarch without it falling a bit bland, so I think it's best for them to bring someone back that can more easily fit into the current setting without giving them the issue of needing to come up with complex lore. Vulkan and the Khan can easily just come back, have a couple stories reintegrating them, and then go off and do their own thing without shaking up the setting too much
Though GW has proven, that it takes years to create the lore for things. Look at the Avenging Son series, the Indomitus Crusade thing. Dark Imperium happens after that.. So the lore creation is all over the place, especially when we're trying to figure out the Baal / Tyranid thing during the Indomitus, etc.
@@moncey1120The Lion coming back was great; he just needs more lore connecting with the broader imperium and of course Guilman. That’s the baffling part is the delays in the story arcs for both characters.
@@sjewitt22 lore wise yes, however like Slaanesh once a god is created in the warp then they have always been in the warp. The warp being outside of time and such. Personally I think Perterabo should be independent of all Chaos Gods as he despises them, would be nice to have a traitor who isn't all about chaos. In Tallarn the power he sought as a weapon and looked to use it to bolster his strength so after the fall of the Imperium they would be able to fight the other traitor Primarchs. It's why they lied to Horus' messenger.
Alpharius/Omegon so stealthy he was forgotten completely. Also I think with potential for lots of eldar related plots Khan is the most probably to come back, Russ is close second though.
"Lorgar has been in meditation" I think you mean he's been hiding from Corax in his Citadel while Corax tries to steal his Lunch Money! Also the World Eater got like 5 new models compared to the other 2 Legions and knowing GW that'll soon be 3 Legions.
I think Lorgar will be the last traitor primarch to come back, akin to a final big boss. The brother that was belittled by his kin returning as the biggest threat to the imperium
Bro got his ass absolutely handed to him by corax in the warp where lorgar is at his most powerful. lorgar will never be the biggest threat to the galaxy
@@MrDekasOne You shouldn’t measure his strength by his physical prowess, but even with that being said he could return individually more powerful after his millennia in meditation. Look at how powerful Horus became
@clarkey7760 yeah nah he's always been the weakest primarch. If he can't beat corax in the warp where he has access to unlimited warp energy, how's is he gonna be the biggest threat to the imperium
This is where i put on my tinfoil hat... I think with the Big E coming back to the fray Lorgar might have a existential crisis about who he is meant to be loyal to him being chaos undivided kinda for me lends a hand that he could choose a side should a 5th god come to power... I do agree with him being last it makes a lot of sense and could make for some VERY interesting story telling
@@leafy126.5 Maybe. Remeber that he hands were that liv8ng metal. What if said hands had recorded his memory emgram and spent the last 10,000 years slowly building a new body. It would not be the original, but a strange pure living metal version of him.
Close. It was given away in previous books like the first founding and the end and the death volumes. He’s going to return fully covered in the necrodermus.
true, but the 13th black crusade and the fall of cadia was setup like 15 or so years ago, and they did feck all with that during those years. so we could be waiting quite awhile for something to happen with the lion xD
GW is juggling so many plotlines that the Lion has suffered from that a bit. I think they should have done something more, perhaps few short stories or a novella about him to keep his plotline hot.
Similar can be said about Magnus and Angron. They haven't done a whole lot, especially Angron. You can at least argue that Mortarion had the Dark Imperium trilogy.
Never understand why salamanders don't actually ride salamander... If Vulkan return i hope they'll take the opportunity to introduce some models of the local fauna
I Really hope they retcon the iron Warriors and Perturabo making it so that he’s not Demonic, just traitor. It would be so much more compelling given all his Heresy storylines.
I disagree, If you read the Perturabo section of the Interlude of The End and The Death Volume III you can see why he’d want to become a Daemon Prince after everything. I fully expect that idea to be built upon during the Great Scouring and presumably the novel focused on the Iron Cage and Perturabo’s Ultimate Ascension to Daemonhood.
Corvus is really the only loyalist 100% confirmed to be alive and pretty active in the warp The problem is collecting the artifacts for the salamanders is really slow. So i don't think we are getting him soon.
Khan is still alive he is just in the webway till someone remembers that and tells gw about how easy it is to bring him back and the money they'd get from it
I really feel like with the Primarchs returning, the Golden Throne failing, and the King in Yellow subplot going on, there's really only one outcome this could all lead to: The Big E returning. Problem is, I don't know if GW would ever actually do that.
Bring out Odin Werewolf Psycher Russ. Russ should be able to Turn into a Werewolf Brute form... Like the Emperor Can for a Melee Brute Battle because he is a Melee fighter at the end of the day. However, i would also like to see Leman cast Blizzards and Thunderstorms to Freeze and Smite Foes if the occasion calls for it. I dont see why we cant have both.
Leman, among some other loyalists mostly seems to have defensive psycher abilities as opposed to offensive ones. Which is better when your enemies are all from the warp
@@logangodofcandy not Really. Primarchs are ultimately made to Conquer the material Reality. Leman is kind of Anti-Psycher... and i say Kind of Because his Howl and Battle Aura at worst Causes Fear and Dread and at best Kills all but Primarch Level threats...and in the face of his siblings its greatly diminished. As seen with his battle against Magnus and a battle where Alpharious was present. Leman needs greater offensive tools to physically compete with his siblings or any threat on this level. His only real strength seems to be his natural ferocity and wisdom. He definettly needs some sort of powerup besides the spear.
I think Russ will return soon. I think them putting the space wolves detachment out the day before fulgrim was revealed was a hint. Barring Magnus, every time we got a chaos primarch reveal, a loyalist followed and fought them in the lore. Mortarion was revealed in 2017, and the next year we got Guilliman. Angron showed up, then so too did the Lion. Fulgrim slithers his way back in to real space... just after the wolves of fenris get a new way to be played. You keep saying they're going to get a refresh, what better time?
Better time if Magnus. Leman is in the Warp right now so if Magnus has no word of his existence knowing full well he’d be the first to know then it’s highly doubtful
A relaunch of Harlequin and/or Dark Eldar leading to the Harlequins breaking Jaghatai Khan out of Commorragh would be fun. Would also tie in well with a relaunch of some of the SM fast attack options.
@@catcadev also would make sense with their refusal to put Kor on a bike, if they for example have another hero for the White Scars that is on a bike in mind. Would also help Khan out being unique like that instead of just another swordsman Primarch.
I think there’s a chance rogal might come back next, if u look at the pattern thats been happening: Guilly came and got the sword, lion came and got the shied, and we know rogal lost a hand so he could come back at take the emps claw as a hand replacement
Would be interesting if Clonegrim was the one to deliver the final coup de grace to the corrupted Fulgrim. It would be poetic and symbolic, Fulgrim would redeem himself like a phoenix reborn out of the ashes of corruption... Just imagine Trazyn overseeing the final showdown between Lion/Guilliman and Fulgrim and Trazyn wanting to be a good boy or making a deal with the Eldar to pokeball throw Clonegrim at Fulgrim to secure a win.
It has to absolutely be the Old wolf / Odin Russ. One eyed, stacks of mysterious knowledge as a counter to Magnus the nerd. Furry Russ would be and is the lamest idea ever
@@codename1176 Lorgar: "Rejoice Galaxy! The apostle of the truth is here!" Corax appearing from a mist made of crows at a distance: "I'm about to end this Traitor whole career"
If the models are good, I'd buy two versions of new Leman Russ models. A cool human version and a giant werewolf version to replace him on the table when he changes.
Though it would be awesome to see Chadgatai Khan and Vulkan, it's better for the Empire that Rogal Dorn returns... Our cousins NEED their Gene father... Also it would be awesome to see him reinforce and fortificate the Empire again.... EVEN MORE. After reading how he manage to not get corrupt by Khorne in The End and the Death and how he beat the crap out of Fulgrim, he is one of My favorites now.
Can someone explain to me, why Russ? I understand Guilliman and Lion was easy cause they were just there and their bodies were safe. But why Russ? Last time I checked in the plot I thought with Vashtor and finding the keyhole or whatever we were moving into more Webway focused stuff and that could easily lead to a Khan return. Yet almost every 40k youtuber is like: Russ is coming back! Is it because of the the Space Wolves refresh? Kinda like how the Emps Children refresh meant that Fulgrim would come back? Is that it and then idk, the plot will bend over backwards to just have Russ appear and be like: Hey guys I heard I was getting new Minis, hows the Galaxy?
Essentially yeah 🤣. It's not a coincidence each chaos God has a primarch now, or that the ultramarines got their's back first. At the end of the day it's gonna be whatever makes them the most money as they are a business. Russ is most likely simply cause space wolves are the most popular next option
That’s literally how all of warhammer has been sadly is lore bending over for the minis. If primarchs are profitable they will come. Lion just held off so long just because even though he arguably had more simplified way of waking up then guilliman yet he came second. Literally every other primarch has next to nothing. Corax at most we know he has a demon like bird thing but that’s all. Russ is one more active knowing he just doing something in the warp. Making and giving visions to space wolves, and his company he took with him the 13th have returned to the space wolves themselves in material universe. And considering he just traversing the warp he seems to be most free of the rest with dorn and khan possibly captured, corax just corax, Vulkan is dead who knows what even happened with that or if he even reformed or if the artifacts matter. With all considering and Russ being more popular for better or worse he still big attention so gw gonna focus and seems more likely for him to come back just depends how they are, if he is actually gonna save or help isha, or eldar, if he is any way corrupted or mutated or werewolf Odin man just how they gonna show it more then if he is gonna show up
Dan Abnett stating that the release of Pandemonium being delayed for "reasons outside of his control", indicates to me that the revelations of that book will spoil the return of characters to the 40k range. More than likely they want to publish to coincide with a Valdor mini release (and probably Russ alongside)
Other factions deserve their “primarch” level character. Give Custodes Valdor, Give Drukhari there leader. 4 vs 4. Jagathai, Vulkan can come back against Xenos threats. Perty vs Dorn is guaranteed after this though.
It would be pretty sweet if Vulkan could come back with the Emperor's Vulcan cannon, and walk around with it and a massive ammo drum carried on his back like Vulcan Raven
yes next Daemonic Primarch is Perturabo, he is actively working with Vashtorr. as for the loyalists i think Russ will be next as i think the Divergent chapters will get their primarch first. BUT i see more and more iron hands mentions from GW, and we all know that the Iron Hands are working on resurrecting Ferrus Manus. they where also a divergent chapter but they have not had their own codex since 8th i think, they might get their own again as they are more divergent then any of the other chapters fromt he main codex. Ferrus Manus resurrected with the Keys of Hel would also go straight after Fulgrim burning with hate :D
Always choose the "easiest" primarch to bring back, in the meaning that you don't need lots of narrative around it. Just like the Lion that was sleeping, perhaps Vulkan can be back just after been found somewhere lots in space (not a very glorious story, I must admit.). Then Corvus Corax, who is already kind of back, perhaps he could choose to come back to see his two brothers. Betwwen the Kahn, Russ and Dorn, well, here, should they come back, it will be with an important story to tell. We can imagine that for the two first, they haven't aged 10 millinias old because of warp/bla bla, but still, for me, they weight more in term of narrative than Corax and Vulkan.
If Lorgar comes back it would be awesome if it was along with a daemons refresh. New models/poses and also maybe new types of daemons we haven't seen before!
Probably each Loyalist will get two traitors to smack. Big G got Magnus and Morty, Lion got Angry boi and now Fulgrim. So next one will show up probably by the time we will get Fulgrim resolved. Russ could be next as the Psyker Primarch for Loyalists.
I have a theory that with the eldar refresh, if they throw some drukahri too, I think the khan will follow. Him in the web way whooping elf ass it makes since to me.
Difference here is Daemon Primarchs aren't dead or missing, they are even active in the lore. They just lack models and spotlight. The loyalist on yäthe other hand are dead or missing
@TheArcticMenace Guilliman was a great return, and while i really liked the new Lion i prefer Guilliman having to fight alone against the fall of the Imperium. Both of these were also at well known locations. Meanwhile Primarchs like Corax has been dead or captured for almost 10k years.
We probably won’t get a loyalist with Fulgrim because GW is going to make his big return an event where Gulliman banishes him as revenge for Fulgrim putting him in the coma. And then Fulgrim will join Angron in the no lore cave.
Dorn: Where were you. I was stuck for ages. Imperial Fists: We thought you were dead. We found your hand. *Displays heavily engraved hand* Dorn: That's not my hand. *Shows hands*. Did you find an ogryn hand and think it was mine?
When I got into 40k as a kid in the early 90's, the Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Dark Angles were the big space marine chapters. It's 30 years later and they're still pushing those four. I get that they sell well. But could we please get something different than the same thing we've had for the past 30 years?! Could we please get something new?! But then, constant refreshes of the same old thing over and over without anything new kinda fits the vibe of the Imperium...
Lorgar is the most interesting and most dangerous Traitor Primarch to return. A master Preacher and corruption spreader in an age of blind faith. His compliance rate will be the exact opposite of his Great Crusade days. As my favorite Primarch Dorn, Dorn will return in a crusading mood and lead the Black Templars I think that is the most fitting arc for him now. No more rumination only damnation for the enemies of the Imperium.
Honestly my hope that would fit a narrative event related to Fulgrim would have to be Dorn as the returning primarch, thanks due to his personality range is the direct opposite to Fulgrim and arming Dorn with the Emperor's Power Claw just makes perfect sense. Outside of potential primarchs returning that would make sense to be pitted against Fulgrim perhaps a unique model for some of the other unique ranges the loyalists can offer, perhaps a new set of Legion of the Damned models (so people don't have to sculpt or kitbash their kits to get the skeletal bits needed to make these minis) with a particular scaled up to be larger Contemptor Dreadnought leading the charge that retains some distinctive features from the legion he once hailed from, i.e. Bringing back Rylanor as a Legion of the Damned character. That would be absolute fire, holy fire in fact...
Few thing i want Vulkan return Dorn return Khan return Fulgrim's Clone return Corax return with weird form Russ return with weird form Sanguinius possible revive unless there is blessing or scared relic is capable of doing that. that only leave one permanent dead is Ferrus or two lost primarch return and join Loyal to balance the game.
I believe that Vulkan is currently hanging with The King in Yellow. Keeping an eye on Dan Abnett's next book. The King in Yellow needs a builder and architect. Vulkan fits that need nicely. Also in classic literature who built Pandemonium was Mulciber, whose Roman name is Vulkan. I am probably wrong but the breadcrumbs are there.
Ive said it to myself multiple times its going to be between these 5 khan, dorn, corax, vulkan, russ and narrow it down even more and it has to be either corax or khan or vulkan because they are the easiest to bring back khan is just in the webway so tell a custodes that and the emperor will just open a portal for khan to walk through then for corax he can return whenever he wants but he just prefers bothering lorgar anf finally vulkan because he is the least obvious and is a perpetual or the 6th option alpharus because he is double agent
As someone who plays Salamanders as my main army. And really wants us to finally have our chapter master on the tabletop (or at least a plastic forge master) please be Vulkan. But as someone who also plays space Wolves, please be Odin Russ. I play Space Wolves as Space Vikings, don't make him furry Russ. Though I just started Iron Warriors (don't worry I play Crimson Fists so I've had sons of Dorn for years) so there's only one Daemon Primarch I'm rooting for next. Especially because when they bring back Lorgar they need to bring out Corax as a loyalist daemon Primarch and that would need its own set of event books to show.
Its obviously gonna be Russ. Heres the thing - divergent chapters are always gonna be more important than compliant chapters. Same for chaos with mono-god and undivided chapters, like how fulgrim released before perturabo despite perturabo actually having some potential relevance to Vashtorr's storyline. So, for divergent chapters, the options are: - Dark Angels - Lion El Jonson - already returned - Blood Angels - Sanguinius - dead, would have returned with the BA refresh a few months ago if they were planning to do it - Black Templars - Dorn - Dorn would not function as a BT primarch since the Imperial Fists still exist and he would probably lead them instead - Space Wolves - Russ - hasnt returned yet, chapter is due for an update It just makes sense.
I think an interesting twist GW could do for the next loyalist primarch is to have it be Fulgirm. Not the daemon one, obviously, but the perfect clone of Fulgrim that trapped in Trazyn galleries. We know that things break out of containment inside of the galleries plus i think a primarch is more than smart enough to escape given the opportunity.
I really want Perturabo to be the next chaos primarch considering he's been so active and yet we still haven't seen official artwork of him post ascension
I think the Khan is going to be the next loyalist primarch to return. There are so many plot points that would support that narrative. Since Vashtorr has the ability to enter the webway at will he could ally with Fulgrim to invade Commorragh in order to find a vital piece for his plan. This could create an eldar centric storyline that parallels the war within the webway from the Horus heresy. It would have the ynnari stepping in to try and get the crone sword, Vect and other drukhari scheming and backstabbing, as well as the harlequins and Cegorach getting involved. This could culminate in Vect or Cegorach freeing the Khan from wherever he was trapped to help them banish Fulgrim.
I think with Fulgrim coming back, which relates to the Eldar, which then leads the the Druchari, when then leads to the webway I wouldn’t be surprised if they bring back the Kahn
In another video (from someone else, can't remember) on the same subject, I thought 2 things : 1) It would be too "easy/uninteresting" to throw Primarch as pair : Perturabo and Dorn, Magnus and Leman, Lorgar and Corvus,... 2) What do the Imperium need right now with Guilliman reorginising the Imperium and the Lion striking left and right ? So I would go with the Khan or Corvus. Guilliman will soon realise the Lion is back and throwing a mysterious tactician to the mix could be enough to shake the daemonic Primarch advance. So one of those as the third. If GW do throw a fourth Primarch also, both candidate previously mentioned are still possible, but you can add Vulkan, Dorn and Leman too. For Sanguinius and Ferrus, I think they both need a REALLY good plot for them to come back. If Lorgar and Magnus attempt some massive warp-heresy, this might be enough to begin something with those two dead primarch.
I have said it before, but Vulcan coming back will be a huge thing, not because for his strength or compassion, that are still very important, but because of rhe fact he has both a perfect memory, and can actually develop technology back to at least great crusade era , which needless to say, will give the imperium a zenkai boost to say the least.
While I love having Primarchs return, I’d much rather see them do more with the current roster than they have done recently especially in the Lions case. They made this big return for him, we had him go up against Angron and then had a book explaining how he returned and what he was doing and then nothing. He’s almost been forgotten about
A secretively loyal Alpharius/Omegon, 1. cause it would be awesome 2. cause annoy Dorn enough to drag him back into the game And as unlikely as it is a Clonegrim would make for a great Fulgrim and Emperor' Children free for all
The problem with loyalist primarchs (and why I think they are not doing more with the Lion) is that you have to explain why they are OK with the Imperium being the way it is. You have your explanation with Guilliman (he is trying to change the system from inside it), but that isn't going to work for all of them. And they are not going to blow up the cash cow that is the Imperium.
Vulkan or the Khan for the loyalist side first.. unless Corax and Russ will be able to hold a more human form cause lets face it Corax's bird form and Russ being a giant Wulfen will cause some concern in the imperium leading to the inquisition raising stink and all descended from those 2 could cause a new civil war...
With Fulgrim coming back, I think the lore will focus him and the rest of the Emperor’s Children facing off against the Eldar factions, hence the big Craftworld refresh that’s going to happen next year. I don’t think we will see Leman Russ at the next refresh of the Space Wolves as they are supposed to be going up against the Orks. So unless Russ returns to face off against Ghazghkul, I don’t know how they would reintroduce Russ to the setting.
My thinking on return order is: Jaghatai as the counter for Fulgrim being a ridiculously fast and amazing duelist, Purturabo followed by Vulcan, Omegon releasing Dorn, Lorgar then Corax and Russ finally. The reason being that his return sets up a reset given his mission which could cause an "AoSing" of the setting, similar with Valdor.
I already mentioned it on reddit - i can see IW boxsets as part of a dark mechanicum standalone faction. For all the rest of the traitor and loyalist primarchs they'll probably have to rely on Kill Team to get a full squad of marines similar to the Night Lords. GW has always been averse to broaden their loyal / traitor marine range of models.
I hope Perty comes back. I'd like to see a revival of the Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists. It would give GW the perfect opportunity to bring new models for both factions.
We are bound to have something related to Valdor when Pamdaemonium is released. The problem is that book is set almost a thousand years before the curretn setting so it may end up in nothing relevant to the current lore.
I would love to find out Rogal Dorn isn’t dead but captured, and for thousands of years the chaos Gods have been trying to corrupt him. Leading to the Black Templar going of a vicious campaign to rescue him. Once freed the emperor can give him a massive mechanical power fist, to replace the one he lost and making it literally “the imperial fist”…..
I think the next Loyalist Primarch returning is going to be Russ. He's one of the ones who can come back at any point, and given the Space Wolf range refresh, it would make sense to release him with those new models the same way we're seeing Fulgrim and the EC. After that, probably Vulkan or Dorn because they're the next most popular Primarchs, and while Khan makes sense story-wise, at the end of the day, this is about selling models and I think more people are going to pick up Vulkan or Dorn than the Khan. Also, we're going to have some warning with Vulkan because the Salamanders need to find the nine Artifacts of Vulkan to bring him back and I think they've only got five or six(?) so far.
The really interesting part for me is, if the iron warriors and wird bearers will get their own codex like the death guard for example, or if they will stay in the CSM codex
Vulkan is exactly what the Imperium needs, a beacon of burning hope. The draconic defender of mankind, who better to forge the sheilds and spears needed to drive back the darkness.
I cant be Vulkan, the Salamanders have had very little content updates in a long time, we have a great deal of artifacts left to find and the Forgefather has a great deal of work ahead of him before Vulkan is returned to us. As a Salamander. I dont care if Vulkan returns last. He will return when we have accomplished our goal of seeking out his treasures and the journey has tempered us enough to see him come from the fire once more. So it is written in the Tome of Fire, and so it shall be.
I definitely think they should drop a couple of more minor primarchs before they bring Russ back. You don't want to fire all your big guns first, so holding Russ back for a later edition will let them build more hype. I'd love to see Khan next, then Corvus. Basically the release order teased in 'Ashes of Prospero'. It sounds like we're getting a Space Wolves refresh soon. If that release skips Russ, I could see a second wave a couple of editions further down the line that updates the Wulfen models and Russ accompanying those.
Yeah , Ruus is the best bet and also the most interresting one , I think . After that , I hope GW brings out a fourth loyalist one before they release more Chaos ones so as to even the odds a little . And when looking at the still missing loyalists ones after Russ , I think it should be the Artisan to return . Yeah , Vulkan would be a good fourth choice and then link them up as you said , Peter Turbo - Dorn , Lorgar - Corax and then maybe Alpharius - Khan .
I'm always amazed how much happens in the Imperium but never gets full coverage, so your just left guessing 70% of the time. It can sometimes be fun to guess but also very frustrating that they don't cover events in full.
I am begging for GW to make Russ come back riding an eight legged twin headed wolf called Slepnir and him be more of an Odin style character with his spear as his weapon. In the Emperor's name make it happen GW!!
I join your prayers!
That's a neat idea. Odin has Sleipnir, an eight-legged horse, but has two wolves, Geri and Freki, and two ravens, Huginn and Muninn. It would be kind of interesting to combine all of them into some kind of warp entity he tamed: an eight-legged legged horse body with two wolf heads and four huge raven wings. Naming it would be tricky. Sleigefrehugmun? That's kind of the first syllable of each name.
Or just give Russ a bunch of mutations from the warp, eight horse legs, wolf heads for hands and four wings for a head, lol. It's funny, Magnus already claimed dibs on having one eye like Odin.
Yes 🙌
Not riding a wolf 😂
Lion already old. Leman is going to be the same as when he left, because it would be redundant with Logan Grimnar also being old. Plus imagine the banter of Leman calling the lion old hhahah

For loyalists I think it would be best for GW to bring back a character like Vulkan or the Khan. They've proven with the Lion that they're currently incapable of bringing back a world/lore altering Primarch without it falling a bit bland, so I think it's best for them to bring someone back that can more easily fit into the current setting without giving them the issue of needing to come up with complex lore. Vulkan and the Khan can easily just come back, have a couple stories reintegrating them, and then go off and do their own thing without shaking up the setting too much
That and vulkans emphath6 and sheer charisma could up the morale of the imperium but a big margin
You are speaking my language!
Though GW has proven, that it takes years to create the lore for things. Look at the Avenging Son series, the Indomitus Crusade thing. Dark Imperium happens after that.. So the lore creation is all over the place, especially when we're trying to figure out the Baal / Tyranid thing during the Indomitus, etc.
If vulkan comes back, Imperium would be able to make DAOT tech, not cool.
Wishing for Khan tbh
@@moncey1120The Lion coming back was great; he just needs more lore connecting with the broader imperium and of course Guilman. That’s the baffling part is the delays in the story arcs for both characters.
If you read Tallarn and the End and the Death, it really does seem like they’re setting Perterabo up to be a Daemon Prince of Vashtorr.
Wasn't tallarn before vashtorr was a thing?
@@sjewitt22 lore wise yes, however like Slaanesh once a god is created in the warp then they have always been in the warp. The warp being outside of time and such. Personally I think Perterabo should be independent of all Chaos Gods as he despises them, would be nice to have a traitor who isn't all about chaos. In Tallarn the power he sought as a weapon and looked to use it to bolster his strength so after the fall of the Imperium they would be able to fight the other traitor Primarchs. It's why they lied to Horus' messenger.
@@thefooloffenris It makes sense to have renegade but not Chaos chapters.
I would love to see that happen. The Iron Warriors are my favorite traitor chapter.
I hope that doesn’t happen though - Peter turbo doesn’t deserve that!! 😂
Alpharius/Omegon so stealthy he was forgotten completely.
Also I think with potential for lots of eldar related plots Khan is the most probably to come back, Russ is close second though.
Still waiting for the spear dude to be announced proper lol
We don’t know that he isn’t the one in the Bequin novels.
He's not forgotten, cuz I'm him, I'm Alpharius.
"Lorgar has been in meditation" I think you mean he's been hiding from Corax in his Citadel while Corax tries to steal his Lunch Money! Also the World Eater got like 5 new models compared to the other 2 Legions and knowing GW that'll soon be 3 Legions.
I think Lorgar will be the last traitor primarch to come back, akin to a final big boss. The brother that was belittled by his kin returning as the biggest threat to the imperium
Bro got his ass absolutely handed to him by corax in the warp where lorgar is at his most powerful. lorgar will never be the biggest threat to the galaxy
@@MrDekasOne You shouldn’t measure his strength by his physical prowess, but even with that being said he could return individually more powerful after his millennia in meditation. Look at how powerful Horus became
Perturabo is the strongest/smartest chaos/evil primarch
@clarkey7760 yeah nah he's always been the weakest primarch. If he can't beat corax in the warp where he has access to unlimited warp energy, how's is he gonna be the biggest threat to the imperium
This is where i put on my tinfoil hat... I think with the Big E coming back to the fray Lorgar might have a existential crisis about who he is meant to be loyal to
him being chaos undivided kinda for me lends a hand that he could choose a side should a 5th god come to power...
I do agree with him being last it makes a lot of sense and could make for some VERY interesting story telling
It’s going to be Ferrus as a Primarch dreadnought with a necrodermis coffin to hold his soul like a ctan.
Iron hands players would freak
Ferrus is very dead. It would be more realistic for sanguinius to do that, and there is no chance they will bring him back
@@leafy126.5 Maybe. Remeber that he hands were that liv8ng metal. What if said hands had recorded his memory emgram and spent the last 10,000 years slowly building a new body. It would not be the original, but a strange pure living metal version of him.
Close. It was given away in previous books like the first founding and the end and the death volumes. He’s going to return fully covered in the necrodermus.
And all these people saying “hE’s DeAd ThOuGh” need to go mind their own armies. GW will do it for money and equity among the chapters.
the lion has been back for almost 2 years now and has done fking nothing
true, but the 13th black crusade and the fall of cadia was setup like 15 or so years ago, and they did feck all with that during those years. so we could be waiting quite awhile for something to happen with the lion xD
He's taking a walk to the forest. ☝
GW is juggling so many plotlines that the Lion has suffered from that a bit. I think they should have done something more, perhaps few short stories or a novella about him to keep his plotline hot.
Similar can be said about Magnus and Angron. They haven't done a whole lot, especially Angron. You can at least argue that Mortarion had the Dark Imperium trilogy.
2 years is nothing. This is a multi-decade setting, not a weekly soap-opera.
Omegon is coming back...... AS A LOYALIST!!
Hydra Dominatus!
For the Emperor!
Shhhhh... that's need to know
Really hoping for Vulkan along with a ton of unique Salamander models
Agreed!
This brother!
Never understand why salamanders don't actually ride salamander... If Vulkan return i hope they'll take the opportunity to introduce some models of the local fauna
And more successor chapters
Hell no
I Really hope they retcon the iron Warriors and Perturabo making it so that he’s not Demonic, just traitor. It would be so much more compelling given all his Heresy storylines.
I disagree, If you read the Perturabo section of the Interlude of The End and The Death Volume III you can see why he’d want to become a Daemon Prince after everything.
I fully expect that idea to be built upon during the Great Scouring and presumably the novel focused on the Iron Cage and Perturabo’s Ultimate Ascension to Daemonhood.
Perturbators daemon lair is woven throughout the Iron Warriors story to a degree that a retcon would be a ridiculous undertaking and a huge step back.
He will probably be like a giant obliterator
Corvus is really the only loyalist 100% confirmed to be alive and pretty active in the warp
The problem is collecting the artifacts for the salamanders is really slow. So i don't think we are getting him soon.
Khan is still alive he is just in the webway till someone remembers that and tells gw about how easy it is to bring him back and the money they'd get from it
We already known where rogal dorn is, he’s currently being the emperors precious Centurion…by being dead in PRETEND.
I really feel like with the Primarchs returning, the Golden Throne failing, and the King in Yellow subplot going on, there's really only one outcome this could all lead to: The Big E returning.
Problem is, I don't know if GW would ever actually do that.
They did it with Sigmar in Fantasy so it’s possible they would
Sigmar returned
They like money of course they are going to do it
If they do. It will be the new End Times. And I am pretty sure that 99% of us do not want this.
I don't understand why the emperor still doesn't have a model in tabletop not even in 30k?
Vulcan’s story needs to come full circle.
He is the primarch that is needed.
Yes!
The Lion and Guilman need more time to connect and re-build their relationship. I hope GW slow rolls the loyal primarchs.
They need Vulcan to give them an awkward bear hug and some Noctournean fire!!!!🔥
He will see the state of the imperium and go Vulkan loco
Bring out Odin Werewolf Psycher Russ. Russ should be able to Turn into a Werewolf Brute form... Like the Emperor Can for a Melee Brute Battle because he is a Melee fighter at the end of the day. However, i would also like to see Leman cast Blizzards and Thunderstorms to Freeze and Smite Foes if the occasion calls for it. I dont see why we cant have both.
Leman, among some other loyalists mostly seems to have defensive psycher abilities as opposed to offensive ones. Which is better when your enemies are all from the warp
@@logangodofcandy not Really. Primarchs are ultimately made to Conquer the material Reality. Leman is kind of Anti-Psycher... and i say Kind of Because his Howl and Battle Aura at worst Causes Fear and Dread and at best Kills all but Primarch Level threats...and in the face of his siblings its greatly diminished. As seen with his battle against Magnus and a battle where Alpharious was present.
Leman needs greater offensive tools to physically compete with his siblings or any threat on this level. His only real strength seems to be his natural ferocity and wisdom. He definettly needs some sort of powerup besides the spear.
"Warband of the Iron Hands". It's time to forget about that dreadnought and move on Chapter Master .
I think Russ will return soon. I think them putting the space wolves detachment out the day before fulgrim was revealed was a hint. Barring Magnus, every time we got a chaos primarch reveal, a loyalist followed and fought them in the lore. Mortarion was revealed in 2017, and the next year we got Guilliman. Angron showed up, then so too did the Lion. Fulgrim slithers his way back in to real space... just after the wolves of fenris get a new way to be played. You keep saying they're going to get a refresh, what better time?
Better time if Magnus. Leman is in the Warp right now so if Magnus has no word of his existence knowing full well he’d be the first to know then it’s highly doubtful
Gulliman dropped before Mortarion, he came out end of 7th edition, Mortarion was start of 8th.
@@TheArcticMenace I did say reveal for a reason lol
A relaunch of Harlequin and/or Dark Eldar leading to the Harlequins breaking Jaghatai Khan out of Commorragh would be fun. Would also tie in well with a relaunch of some of the SM fast attack options.
They have been upgrading the bike models.
AND then a new Model for VECT with some sexy slaves
A multipart Outrider Squad would be a great release kit for 11th.
@@catcadev also would make sense with their refusal to put Kor on a bike, if they for example have another hero for the White Scars that is on a bike in mind. Would also help Khan out being unique like that instead of just another swordsman Primarch.
Oh shit, here we go again!
I think there’s a chance rogal might come back next, if u look at the pattern thats been happening: Guilly came and got the sword, lion came and got the shied, and we know rogal lost a hand so he could come back at take the emps claw as a hand replacement
Would be interesting if Clonegrim was the one to deliver the final coup de grace to the corrupted Fulgrim. It would be poetic and symbolic, Fulgrim would redeem himself like a phoenix reborn out of the ashes of corruption... Just imagine Trazyn overseeing the final showdown between Lion/Guilliman and Fulgrim and Trazyn wanting to be a good boy or making a deal with the Eldar to pokeball throw Clonegrim at Fulgrim to secure a win.
Foil time: Dorn has been disguising himself as Valdor, "The King in Yellow", since who would really know the difference?
Guilliman but he doesn't seem to care
It has to absolutely be the Old wolf / Odin Russ. One eyed, stacks of mysterious knowledge as a counter to Magnus the nerd.
Furry Russ would be and is the lamest idea ever
Corax. It has to be Corvus Corax.
No Lorgar no Corax. Sad but true
They should bring both Corax and Lorgar together
@@codename1176 Lorgar: "Rejoice Galaxy! The apostle of the truth is here!" Corax appearing from a mist made of crows at a distance: "I'm about to end this Traitor whole career"
Russ sacrificing an eye to look into eye of eternity like Kairos then getting old, stronger and a bit weird when he gets out would be cool.
A big GW move would be to release Perturabo with his model carrying Rogal Dorne's head confirming Dorne really died.
Ah yes the delusion of every iron warrior fan😂
If the models are good, I'd buy two versions of new Leman Russ models. A cool human version and a giant werewolf version to replace him on the table when he changes.
My money's on Leman Russ being the next Primarch to return. Look at how GW seem to be pushing Space Wolves recently
Though it would be awesome to see Chadgatai Khan and Vulkan, it's better for the Empire that Rogal Dorn returns... Our cousins NEED their Gene father... Also it would be awesome to see him reinforce and fortificate the Empire again.... EVEN MORE. After reading how he manage to not get corrupt by Khorne in The End and the Death and how he beat the crap out of Fulgrim, he is one of My favorites now.
Can someone explain to me, why Russ? I understand Guilliman and Lion was easy cause they were just there and their bodies were safe. But why Russ? Last time I checked in the plot I thought with Vashtor and finding the keyhole or whatever we were moving into more Webway focused stuff and that could easily lead to a Khan return. Yet almost every 40k youtuber is like: Russ is coming back!
Is it because of the the Space Wolves refresh? Kinda like how the Emps Children refresh meant that Fulgrim would come back? Is that it and then idk, the plot will bend over backwards to just have Russ appear and be like: Hey guys I heard I was getting new Minis, hows the Galaxy?
Essentially yeah 🤣. It's not a coincidence each chaos God has a primarch now, or that the ultramarines got their's back first. At the end of the day it's gonna be whatever makes them the most money as they are a business. Russ is most likely simply cause space wolves are the most popular next option
That’s literally how all of warhammer has been sadly is lore bending over for the minis. If primarchs are profitable they will come. Lion just held off so long just because even though he arguably had more simplified way of waking up then guilliman yet he came second. Literally every other primarch has next to nothing. Corax at most we know he has a demon like bird thing but that’s all. Russ is one more active knowing he just doing something in the warp. Making and giving visions to space wolves, and his company he took with him the 13th have returned to the space wolves themselves in material universe. And considering he just traversing the warp he seems to be most free of the rest with dorn and khan possibly captured, corax just corax, Vulkan is dead who knows what even happened with that or if he even reformed or if the artifacts matter.
With all considering and Russ being more popular for better or worse he still big attention so gw gonna focus and seems more likely for him to come back just depends how they are, if he is actually gonna save or help isha, or eldar, if he is any way corrupted or mutated or werewolf Odin man just how they gonna show it more then if he is gonna show up
Dan Abnett stating that the release of Pandemonium being delayed for "reasons outside of his control", indicates to me that the revelations of that book will spoil the return of characters to the 40k range. More than likely they want to publish to coincide with a Valdor mini release (and probably Russ alongside)
Other factions deserve their “primarch” level character. Give Custodes Valdor, Give Drukhari there leader. 4 vs 4. Jagathai, Vulkan can come back against Xenos threats. Perty vs Dorn is guaranteed after this though.
You forgot that the silent king needs a new miniature already and could be the primarch like character for the necrons
@@deanastephensosborne5604 the silent king mini we have is fine still
I don’t know how I feel about more primarchs. If they do it well I guess but I don’t know if they’ll be able to give ALL the primarchs good models
If they bring back Logar, there needs to be a plot where he becomes the new war master. Keep the story moving forward
It would be pretty sweet if Vulkan could come back with the Emperor's Vulcan cannon, and walk around with it and a massive ammo drum carried on his back like Vulcan Raven
yes next Daemonic Primarch is Perturabo, he is actively working with Vashtorr.
as for the loyalists i think Russ will be next as i think the Divergent chapters will get their primarch first.
BUT i see more and more iron hands mentions from GW, and we all know that the Iron Hands are working on resurrecting Ferrus Manus.
they where also a divergent chapter but they have not had their own codex since 8th i think, they might get their own again as they are more divergent then any of the other chapters fromt he main codex.
Ferrus Manus resurrected with the Keys of Hel would also go straight after Fulgrim burning with hate :D
Always choose the "easiest" primarch to bring back, in the meaning that you don't need lots of narrative around it.
Just like the Lion that was sleeping, perhaps Vulkan can be back just after been found somewhere lots in space (not a very glorious story, I must admit.).
Then Corvus Corax, who is already kind of back, perhaps he could choose to come back to see his two brothers.
Betwwen the Kahn, Russ and Dorn, well, here, should they come back, it will be with an important story to tell. We can imagine that for the two first, they haven't aged 10 millinias old because of warp/bla bla, but still, for me, they weight more in term of narrative than Corax and Vulkan.
And out of nowhere comes Rogal Dorn, dressed in black, with a steelchair!
Valrak...Have you considered that Odin Leman and Werewolf Leman are one and the same?
Where did you get that artwork at 5:17? That picture is my dream for Guilliman and the Lion!
If Lorgar comes back it would be awesome if it was along with a daemons refresh. New models/poses and also maybe new types of daemons we haven't seen before!
Wouldn't it be wild if they brought back Omegon
Probably each Loyalist will get two traitors to smack. Big G got Magnus and Morty, Lion got Angry boi and now Fulgrim. So next one will show up probably by the time we will get Fulgrim resolved. Russ could be next as the Psyker Primarch for Loyalists.
I have a theory that with the eldar refresh, if they throw some drukahri too, I think the khan will follow.
Him in the web way whooping elf ass it makes since to me.
I like primarchs returning so I can paint them and someday have a diorama of them all fighting.
Difference here is Daemon Primarchs aren't dead or missing, they are even active in the lore.
They just lack models and spotlight.
The loyalist on yäthe other hand are dead or missing
The lion was missing and Gulliman was “dead” (in status (statis?) ) and they both came back, so lost and or missing primarchs can come back
@TheArcticMenace Guilliman was a great return, and while i really liked the new Lion i prefer Guilliman having to fight alone against the fall of the Imperium.
Both of these were also at well known locations.
Meanwhile Primarchs like Corax has been dead or captured for almost 10k years.
I think it would be dope for Jaghatai Khan to come back bringing also new fast attack units for the space marines.
We probably won’t get a loyalist with Fulgrim because GW is going to make his big return an event where Gulliman banishes him as revenge for Fulgrim putting him in the coma. And then Fulgrim will join Angron in the no lore cave.
I had NO IDEA THAT FULGRIM HAD THE CRONESWORD!! Oooo slaanesh is getting cocky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know a trilogy that may get revived!!
Dorn: Where were you. I was stuck for ages.
Imperial Fists: We thought you were dead. We found your hand. *Displays heavily engraved hand*
Dorn: That's not my hand. *Shows hands*. Did you find an ogryn hand and think it was mine?
I totally agree Sanguinius is coming back next.
we must have hope brother
To undermind a huge part of the 40k setting. What a shame it will be.
@@RealmDesigner In cade you didn't figure, this was probably a joke.
When I got into 40k as a kid in the early 90's, the Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Dark Angles were the big space marine chapters. It's 30 years later and they're still pushing those four. I get that they sell well. But could we please get something different than the same thing we've had for the past 30 years?! Could we please get something new?!
But then, constant refreshes of the same old thing over and over without anything new kinda fits the vibe of the Imperium...
Lorgar is the most interesting and most dangerous Traitor Primarch to return. A master Preacher and corruption spreader in an age of blind faith. His compliance rate will be the exact opposite of his Great Crusade days.
As my favorite Primarch Dorn, Dorn will return in a crusading mood and lead the Black Templars I think that is the most fitting arc for him now. No more rumination only damnation for the enemies of the Imperium.
I want Corvus Corax back!
My want is also Russ/Valdor
Also Kaldor Draigo to return from the warp.
Though Vulkan I wouldn't moan about.
Honestly my hope that would fit a narrative event related to Fulgrim would have to be Dorn as the returning primarch, thanks due to his personality range is the direct opposite to Fulgrim and arming Dorn with the Emperor's Power Claw just makes perfect sense.
Outside of potential primarchs returning that would make sense to be pitted against Fulgrim perhaps a unique model for some of the other unique ranges the loyalists can offer, perhaps a new set of Legion of the Damned models (so people don't have to sculpt or kitbash their kits to get the skeletal bits needed to make these minis) with a particular scaled up to be larger Contemptor Dreadnought leading the charge that retains some distinctive features from the legion he once hailed from, i.e. Bringing back Rylanor as a Legion of the Damned character.
That would be absolute fire, holy fire in fact...
Clone Fulgrim and Clone Manus would be an interesting thing to see. The perfectionist dynamic duo in 40K would be neat
I like the idea that the khan is defending the black library to prevent chaos from breaching it
Vulcan is most definitely half Ork after the war the beast, we're going to end up seeing him leading a WAAAGH! Of his own.
maybe his warp god(some theory stating the primarch have some warp god inside them) is a ork related god
Few thing i want
Vulkan return
Dorn return
Khan return
Fulgrim's Clone return
Corax return with weird form
Russ return with weird form
Sanguinius possible revive unless there is blessing or scared relic is capable of doing that.
that only leave one permanent dead is Ferrus
or two lost primarch return and join Loyal to balance the game.
Ferris comes back as the head of the Legion of the Damned
@@TheMalkavianmadman I see what you did there haha
0:40 VULKAN!!
My vote as well
I believe that Vulkan is currently hanging with The King in Yellow. Keeping an eye on Dan Abnett's next book. The King in Yellow needs a builder and architect. Vulkan fits that need nicely. Also in classic literature who built Pandemonium was Mulciber, whose Roman name is Vulkan. I am probably wrong but the breadcrumbs are there.
Ive said it to myself multiple times its going to be between these 5 khan, dorn, corax, vulkan, russ and narrow it down even more and it has to be either corax or khan or vulkan because they are the easiest to bring back khan is just in the webway so tell a custodes that and the emperor will just open a portal for khan to walk through then for corax he can return whenever he wants but he just prefers bothering lorgar anf finally vulkan because he is the least obvious and is a perpetual or the 6th option alpharus because he is double agent
As someone who plays Salamanders as my main army. And really wants us to finally have our chapter master on the tabletop (or at least a plastic forge master) please be Vulkan. But as someone who also plays space Wolves, please be Odin Russ. I play Space Wolves as Space Vikings, don't make him furry Russ.
Though I just started Iron Warriors (don't worry I play Crimson Fists so I've had sons of Dorn for years) so there's only one Daemon Primarch I'm rooting for next. Especially because when they bring back Lorgar they need to bring out Corax as a loyalist daemon Primarch and that would need its own set of event books to show.
Its obviously gonna be Russ. Heres the thing - divergent chapters are always gonna be more important than compliant chapters. Same for chaos with mono-god and undivided chapters, like how fulgrim released before perturabo despite perturabo actually having some potential relevance to Vashtorr's storyline.
So, for divergent chapters, the options are:
- Dark Angels - Lion El Jonson - already returned
- Blood Angels - Sanguinius - dead, would have returned with the BA refresh a few months ago if they were planning to do it
- Black Templars - Dorn - Dorn would not function as a BT primarch since the Imperial Fists still exist and he would probably lead them instead
- Space Wolves - Russ - hasnt returned yet, chapter is due for an update
It just makes sense.
I think an interesting twist GW could do for the next loyalist primarch is to have it be Fulgirm. Not the daemon one, obviously, but the perfect clone of Fulgrim that trapped in Trazyn galleries. We know that things break out of containment inside of the galleries plus i think a primarch is more than smart enough to escape given the opportunity.
I really want Perturabo to be the next chaos primarch considering he's been so active and yet we still haven't seen official artwork of him post ascension
I think the Khan is going to be the next loyalist primarch to return. There are so many plot points that would support that narrative. Since Vashtorr has the ability to enter the webway at will he could ally with Fulgrim to invade Commorragh in order to find a vital piece for his plan.
This could create an eldar centric storyline that parallels the war within the webway from the Horus heresy. It would have the ynnari stepping in to try and get the crone sword, Vect and other drukhari scheming and backstabbing, as well as the harlequins and Cegorach getting involved. This could culminate in Vect or Cegorach freeing the Khan from wherever he was trapped to help them banish Fulgrim.
I think with Fulgrim coming back, which relates to the Eldar, which then leads the the Druchari, when then leads to the webway I wouldn’t be surprised if they bring back the Kahn
In another video (from someone else, can't remember) on the same subject, I thought 2 things :
1) It would be too "easy/uninteresting" to throw Primarch as pair : Perturabo and Dorn, Magnus and Leman, Lorgar and Corvus,...
2) What do the Imperium need right now with Guilliman reorginising the Imperium and the Lion striking left and right ?
So I would go with the Khan or Corvus. Guilliman will soon realise the Lion is back and throwing a mysterious tactician to the mix could be enough to shake the daemonic Primarch advance. So one of those as the third.
If GW do throw a fourth Primarch also, both candidate previously mentioned are still possible, but you can add Vulkan, Dorn and Leman too.
For Sanguinius and Ferrus, I think they both need a REALLY good plot for them to come back. If Lorgar and Magnus attempt some massive warp-heresy, this might be enough to begin something with those two dead primarch.
I have said it before, but Vulcan coming back will be a huge thing, not because for his strength or compassion, that are still very important, but because of rhe fact he has both a perfect memory, and can actually develop technology back to at least great crusade era , which needless to say, will give the imperium a zenkai boost to say the least.
While I love having Primarchs return, I’d much rather see them do more with the current roster than they have done recently especially in the Lions case. They made this big return for him, we had him go up against Angron and then had a book explaining how he returned and what he was doing and then nothing. He’s almost been forgotten about
No Primarch's return will surprise anyone unless Ferrus Manus or Leman Russ with Tank Alt
Sanguinius would be pretty surprising.
A secretively loyal Alpharius/Omegon,
1. cause it would be awesome
2. cause annoy Dorn enough to drag him back into the game
And as unlikely as it is a Clonegrim would make for a great Fulgrim and Emperor' Children free for all
The problem with loyalist primarchs (and why I think they are not doing more with the Lion) is that you have to explain why they are OK with the Imperium being the way it is. You have your explanation with Guilliman (he is trying to change the system from inside it), but that isn't going to work for all of them. And they are not going to blow up the cash cow that is the Imperium.
Vulkan or the Khan for the loyalist side first.. unless Corax and Russ will be able to hold a more human form cause lets face it Corax's bird form and Russ being a giant Wulfen will cause some concern in the imperium leading to the inquisition raising stink and all descended from those 2 could cause a new civil war...
With Fulgrim coming back, I think the lore will focus him and the rest of the Emperor’s Children facing off against the Eldar factions, hence the big Craftworld refresh that’s going to happen next year. I don’t think we will see Leman Russ at the next refresh of the Space Wolves as they are supposed to be going up against the Orks. So unless Russ returns to face off against Ghazghkul, I don’t know how they would reintroduce Russ to the setting.
My thinking on return order is: Jaghatai as the counter for Fulgrim being a ridiculously fast and amazing duelist, Purturabo followed by Vulcan, Omegon releasing Dorn, Lorgar then Corax and Russ finally. The reason being that his return sets up a reset given his mission which could cause an "AoSing" of the setting, similar with Valdor.
I already mentioned it on reddit - i can see IW boxsets as part of a dark mechanicum standalone faction.
For all the rest of the traitor and loyalist primarchs they'll probably have to rely on Kill Team to get a full squad of marines similar to the Night Lords.
GW has always been averse to broaden their loyal / traitor marine range of models.
I hope Perty comes back. I'd like to see a revival of the Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists. It would give GW the perfect opportunity to bring new models for both factions.
Trazyn has Dorn. He kept him in stasis and gave him a new hand.
We are bound to have something related to Valdor when Pamdaemonium is released. The problem is that book is set almost a thousand years before the curretn setting so it may end up in nothing relevant to the current lore.
I would love to find out Rogal Dorn isn’t dead but captured, and for thousands of years the chaos Gods have been trying to corrupt him. Leading to the Black Templar going of a vicious campaign to rescue him. Once freed the emperor can give him a massive mechanical power fist, to replace the one he lost and making it literally “the imperial fist”…..
I think the next Loyalist Primarch returning is going to be Russ. He's one of the ones who can come back at any point, and given the Space Wolf range refresh, it would make sense to release him with those new models the same way we're seeing Fulgrim and the EC. After that, probably Vulkan or Dorn because they're the next most popular Primarchs, and while Khan makes sense story-wise, at the end of the day, this is about selling models and I think more people are going to pick up Vulkan or Dorn than the Khan. Also, we're going to have some warning with Vulkan because the Salamanders need to find the nine Artifacts of Vulkan to bring him back and I think they've only got five or six(?) so far.
Jaghatai Khan with the fast attack refresh but the white scars with him are now all madmax post apocalyptic with junk bikes, war trikes and choppers!
I love how you listed the Iron Hands with the other traitor chapters 😂
The really interesting part for me is, if the iron warriors and wird bearers will get their own codex like the death guard for example, or if they will stay in the CSM codex
Vulkan is exactly what the Imperium needs, a beacon of burning hope. The draconic defender of mankind, who better to forge the sheilds and spears needed to drive back the darkness.
I cant be Vulkan, the Salamanders have had very little content updates in a long time, we have a great deal of artifacts left to find and the Forgefather has a great deal of work ahead of him before Vulkan is returned to us.
As a Salamander. I dont care if Vulkan returns last. He will return when we have accomplished our goal of seeking out his treasures and the journey has tempered us enough to see him come from the fire once more.
So it is written in the Tome of Fire, and so it shall be.
just going with the logic that GW wants to sell the most models, i think it will be Russ or Dorn who will return next.
I definitely think they should drop a couple of more minor primarchs before they bring Russ back. You don't want to fire all your big guns first, so holding Russ back for a later edition will let them build more hype.
I'd love to see Khan next, then Corvus. Basically the release order teased in 'Ashes of Prospero'.
It sounds like we're getting a Space Wolves refresh soon. If that release skips Russ, I could see a second wave a couple of editions further down the line that updates the Wulfen models and Russ accompanying those.
Yeah , Ruus is the best bet and also the most interresting one , I think . After that , I hope GW brings out a fourth loyalist one before they release more Chaos ones so as to even the odds a little . And when looking at the still missing loyalists ones after Russ , I think it should be the Artisan to return . Yeah , Vulkan would be a good fourth choice and then link them up as you said , Peter Turbo - Dorn , Lorgar - Corax and then maybe Alpharius - Khan .
I'm always amazed how much happens in the Imperium but never gets full coverage, so your just left guessing 70% of the time. It can sometimes be fun to guess but also very frustrating that they don't cover events in full.
