@@minhducnguyen674 There is only so much that saying "the primarch told me to do it" will allow you to get away with. The Inquisition would never allow a repository of the most stable gene seed of the primarchs to be anywhere outside of their control. Mars would never allow Cawl to innovate, they would certainly view improving upon the work of the Omnissiah as blasphemous. The high lords wouldn't commit the resources for it. So Cawl being able to just do it is incredibly improbable, I feel an explanation of the logistics is in order.

Here's what I thought about this scene: Robbys security team IS AWFUL. They missed an entire Legion of space marines right on top (below) of them despite scanning and checking and scanning again.

[@saltedllama2759]

There are members of the AdMech who refer to the Emperor as the Omnissiah (and vice versa). While we know a shard of the Void Dragon was buried on Mars eons ago, and is likely where they reverse engineered a lot of their tech and began to worship, they revere and fear the Emperor, and he can somehow communicate with them through the machine. Crazy relationship going on there. Add in Cawl's multiple consciousness personalities...

[@dawall3732]

No he may think that his brilliance can overshadow anything. But he does not wish to be the head of the mechanicum. That's actually a copy of his that wants to place him as the head. There is a bit of lore where he learns of his copies request to Guilliman that he be made the head of the mechanicum. At which point he decides that it is a flaw and makes plans to look into it. There's also another bit of lore where he is talking to the emperor. The emperor tells him that though he may think that he is betraying the emperor and Imperium he has and is not but instead is still working for the emperor under his Direction. After of which Belisarius immediately forgets the conversation ever happened.

[@ESO-ONE]

Didn't want this video to end.

[@Suncowow]

To be fair from what I recall, from either one of the books or the codex, a LOT of primaris died in the beginning of the indomitus crusade due to the fact that they didn't actually have any real battle experience, like yeah their tough sobs but they fight like fresh skitari, they have the knowledge downloaded in their head, and cawl was running them through simulations while they were in stasis, but it doesn't change the fact that they don't really know tactics or have any combat exp. So while it would be cool for the primarchs to return and have legions waiting for them, it would probably be more along the line of what papa smurf is doing in simply taking command of whatever chapter happens to be in the area along with his founding chapter, then moving on.

[@punec]

Ok so on the idea of Guilliman renauncing the 1000 marines per chapter thing and going back to legion strength thing. Did anyone notice the squad number on the reviewed heavy intercessors in last saturday's review. It was XI or 11 and as far as I remember each company had up to ten squads each? Or am I wrong? If not thats a big tell that old Roberto might be going back to bigger chapters at least.

[@punec]

The warhammer wiki confirms the numbers of squads as 6 - 10 man battlleline, 2 - 10 man close support and 2 - heavy support squads for each battle company (which the second is) so I might be on to something. Or it might be nothing. Comment what you guys think

[@dantecooke]

I thought that in 'the great work' when triarch Felix accuses Cawl of wanting to be fabricator general, Cawl responds with, why would I want to do that and be tethered to mars? When I can be out the imperium? and when Felix asks about Cawl minors asking for it he looks genuinely puzzled/ worried before deciding that he would have to visit guilliman in person later to fix it as it should'ent be asking for it. other than that keep up the good work loving the videos Lord Rho)

[@helloharr0w242]

I'm a little fuzzy on all of the details, but we know Cawl has the mind of his former supervisor and all her knowledge, and we know he has the memories and expertise of the very man who made the black carapace. He's got all of everyone's notes, including the Emperor's and Lady Astarte's. In ten thousand years he elevates and refines the entire armory of the Space Marines and doubles it in breadth, creates and stabilizes several new organs, and breeds an army in total secret all throughout, and then brings Rowboat out of stasis and aids in his healing. Also, he's a meme lord.

I could be wrong but how does this work? The chapters are normally in charge of there own recruitment and training. How do the primaris learn there traditions if they are not taught to them by the chapters? There's close secrets each one holds in there training. How can they prepare for that without the interaction. And what about the recruitment it self... space marines are recruited from certain planets that no other organization can recruit from... did he go there and get them himself or where did they come from?
