Has Roboute Guilliman Become A Perpetual? - 40K Theories

[@MrMortull]

Guilliman is a fine example of the THIRD type of perpetual; those that have Titan-Grade plot armour.

[@frizzank]

He already died once. Give the poor lad a break.

[@DocWolph]

Gulliman is not a perpetual. Despite his "resurrection", he was not actually entirely dead. Primarchs are stupidly close to immortal as it, without having the ability to actually come back from the dead. What Guilliman received was a very belated, insanely extensive, medical treatment including soul reconstruction. His armor allowed his body to finish its repairs. Guilliman is not a perpetual. Vulkan is a Perpetual. Vulkan lives or will live again.

‘Oh, for the love of…’ he grumbled as he bent awkwardly to pick them up. The Armour of Fate was bulky. As its waist joint prevented him from flexing his spine and reaching the floor, he had to kneel. He reached for the scattered flimsies. Fingertips failed to grasp the sheets, sending them fleeing in small armadas over the polished floor. He growled in frustration, abandoned his task and stood, drawing a curious look from Sicarius. ‘I have the manual dexterity of a Legio Cybernetica battle automaton!’ Guilliman said. ‘Created by the Lord of All Mankind, master of the greatest armies in the Imperium, and I cannot pick up a plastek flimsy.’ He glared at the offending articles. ‘My greatest enemy.’ There was a thoughtful quiet. ‘You are joking, my lord?’ said Sicarius. Guilliman looked at Sicarius. He had to turn all the way around to do so. The pauldrons, ornamental wings and large halo mounted on his back made it impossible for him to see over his shoulder. At least he had stopped knocking into things. There was that. ‘By the Throne, why am I expected to be serious at all times? Yes, Captain Sicarius, I am making light of my predicament. During the worst of the Great Crusade, I was known to make the occasional jest. Even after Terra fell. I did not spend my entire previous life writing deep thoughts into little notebooks, but sometimes dared to enjoy myself. I suppose that was not recorded in the hagiographies.’ ‘Humour is not something you are renowned for, my lord.’

And any sane person would refuse cypher due to the fact that he's considered a traitor by the Dark angels which are loyalists.

Guilliman without knowing became the last missing Croneswords

[@elijahkelley7616]

Mathieu Soucy all the dishes are dirty

[@ribbitgoesthedoglastnamehe4681]

To claim that Guilliman believed the rest of the Imperium lost would be to greatly underestimate him. Guilliman did not know what was happening behind the warpstorm, so he did not know if the rest of the Imperium was lost or not, and he certainly did not BELIEVE anything. Guilliman works with facts, not by wishes and beliefs. He did not KNOW if the Imperium was lost, but based on what he DID know, it was possible or even likely that it might happen. However, he did not simply CHOOSE to believe one way or another, he prepared for BOTH of those possibilities as well as he could.

[@laurenbastin8849]

that’s the thing, Guilliman is a pragmatist above all else. I like to see every primarch as an inheritor of one of the Emperors traits. Magnus inherited his psychic prowess, Vulkan his compassion (or what compassion he had before he expelled the star-child), Angron his unfiltered wrath, Russ his brutal justice, etc. To me Guilliman is the inheritor of the Emperors charisma and political acumen (where Horus would’ve inherited his more combat-oriented leadership abilities). Kinda feels like Guilliman is too good a character for the Ultramarines sometimes, he’s much more complex than the legion as a whole (not saying there can’t be good ultramarine characters or that the legion is wholly bad just that they’re often deprived of any actual flaws or challenges)

[@internetzenmaster8952]

*Konrad Kurze:* _Suddenly having flashbacks to his 'alone time' with Vulcan_ I am *so* glad I am dead right now. Fulgrim and Lorgar are probably losing their damned minds at this revelation... Sucks to be them!

[@majormajorasic]

Little did Konrad know that his vampiric cannibalism with which he tried to break Vulkan resulted in himself to become a perpetual, and now his severed head is somewhere in the Imperial Place, in a vault, completely aware of its predicament.

[@Dima072181]

No he has not, Guilliman has shown to have aged since the start of the Indomitus Crusade, mildly thinning hairline and strands of grey hair, perpetuals do not exactly change (I suspect the first death triggers it, the Highlander parallels are obvious). Furthermore, and this is pure speculation on my part I believe that by having his soul saved by the Ynnari, Guilliman has been connected to Ynnead

[@AuramiteEX]

It's because of the stresses of his position. A Primarch is mighty but he is not the Emperor. Also, he no longer sleeps and hasn't fully recovered from his meeting with the Emperor.

[@Dima072181]

There is also another matter to consider, Ynnead is still not fully awakened, when Yvraine cut the life-support stasis she had the Whispering God restore Guillimans soul. This is effect strengthens the link which would potentially allow the God of the Dead. People often forget that the Ynnari are still essentially a growing subsect, they need allies and what better way to ensure their survival than to provide a new King for humanity. Making Guilliman a perpetual would be simply repeating the mistakes of the past You have to understand the basics, the Emperor is powerful beyond measure, but he is not infallible. Being a perpetual, perhaps the first true perpetual, had given him a desire to save humanity. Unfortunately being eternal separated him from the species, in effect having him constantly say "I know better". Humanity does not need an immortal ruler, the Ynnari (particularly Eldrad ) would prefer a weapon/ally against the ruinous powers, not another overlord.

[@tyler1tanner]

Primarchs don't grow old, they are functionally immortal, they can never and will never degenerate, slow down, or become weak with age. They will live in their peak for all eternity. His "aging" comes from the unimaginable stress and mental strife from waking up in an actual living nightmare, where the imperium worships the emperor as God and worships death. Guilliman says several times even a century into the indomitus crusade that he feels like he's living in a nightmare. I don't think anyone but a Primarch or the emperor could handle that as well and roboutte has

[@Dima072181]

functional immortality does not mean they do not age, read Vengeful Spirit, Horus aged when he returned from the portal on Molech Centuries had passed in moments, Little Horus Aximand takes note of it,. The only true perpetual among the 20 gene-weapons of the Emperor was Vulkan, and even then it was because the Emperor needed him to guard the gate

[@jeanvagin2255]

Primarchs do not age

[@headlibrarian1996]

I suspect Guilliman is aging and slowly dying as a side effect of his not sleeping. Remember that one of the things that was killing Angron is that he couldn’t sleep because of the Nails.

[@NastyStankyChicken]

No sleep wasn't killing Angron at one stage he hadn't slept for hundreds of years. The nails themselves were killing him.

[@skalgrimfellaxe5796]

Primarchs have no need for sleep. Just like the Emperor. They just choose to as they feel more rested and relaxed.

[@K4inan]

Uhh, primarchs don't need to sleep, it's just an optional thing for them.

[@headlibrarian1996]

K4inan Then why make a point of mentioning that Guilliman isn’t sleeping since Cawl revived him, as if it were an aberration, or mentioning that the Butcher’s Nails wouldn’t let Angron sleep?

[@K4inan]

To illustrate the point that Guilliman has no time for sleep, and that the Butcher's Nails are bad. Primarchs don't need to sleep or eat, the only reason they ate was to bond with their subordinate space marines.

Have we considered that all the Primarchs are perpetuals? - Seems like a useful trait if Emps could give to one, to give to all - You're not going to know until they die - Emps is a perpetual I think I read, and he's halted by stasis - Vulkan took varying lengths of time to come back - Primarchs that have "died" do we know the locations of "all" their body parts, and any body parts we do know of are they not in stasis?

One has to consider that if Eldar souls are strong enough to stay intact after going into the warp, then a Primarch's soul could easily survive in the warp.

Ah this is from the Armour of Fate story, isn't it? Which takes place *before* Dark Imperium where he's shown to be walking around in just a toga

[@FrosenHell]

I am not disagreeing with you, I just find it funny how annoyed he is.

[@UnRu1eD]

It is quite possible considering he was stabbed with a chaos bladeand was in stasis for over 10,000 years and awake during through it all more then likely he may be a perpetual and even novels have dove into the fact he may be an extremely powerful psyker.

[@GreatChickenGod]

it's the armor itself that keeps him alive. although he could take off the armor, i'm going to guess he cant stay out for too long, or else his body will start to decay and die

[@pistolhero1973]

In the Horus Heresy novel "Legion", we are introduced to a new character, "John Grammaticus", who seems to fit in the kind of human you describe. Is he a Perpetual too ? If yes, I remember that the eldar "Kabbale" gave him these abilities, so Eldars too might be able to create Perpetuals.

[@40KTheories]

Yes John Grammaticus is a perpetual, who eventually loses his perpetuality in Unremembered Empire

[@pistolhero1973]

Oh boy, one more reason for me to read this one !

[@lelouche25]

Lionel Johnson sounds like a basketball player lol.

[@jeremychocholowski5203]

i love warhammer 40k lore

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

The best way to confirm any theory is to test it! Roboute Guilliman: It cannot be, you... Roboute Guilliman: What is wrong with you His teeth did not grow back instantly, he is not a Perpetual, theory BUSTED!

[@HKRalf]

If anyone is a perpetual its vulkan, so he was in space and just fell into a planet and you all think he went out in some ork battle. Yah nah.

[@xxMorgen_Ronny_Doy]

@40k Theories i have one thing to ask why should be the Grey Kngiht be the last Perpetual ? I am sure we have seen Vulkan not the last time ...

[@Aristaios]

Thrawn the last perpetual Ephrael Stern/Saint Celestine: am i a joke to you?

[@troglodyte4207]

We’ll never know as he’s so good at everything that he will never die ever because he’s so cool and amazing

[@lukepavitt4603]

I have a question regarding the galaxy of the 40k, "god" what is definable as a god as there have been several and if we were to call only the 4 chaos beings as gods what where the beings of the other races religions, Eldar gods such as Khaine, the C'tan, The Emperor, etc. Alternately could the Emperor or the Anathema, in his current state, be considered a material parasite? That upsets the realm of souls due to consuming souls himself.

[@kitten2799]

On that day, vulkan and pain became the best of friends

[@FrosenHell]

But Guilliman cannot remove the armour - or so he was told. Now, after years spent trapped within the Armour of Fate, he wishes to test the truth of this statement, and seeks out old allies who he hopes can give him aid.

[@40KTheories]

Again, Dark Imperium already shows him walking around out of his armour. The new Armour of Fate story takes place *before* Dark Imperium.

[@gojihunter3118]

Many a times people say such things are impossible, or unlikely. They said it was unlikely for the rebels to find a weakness and exploit it against the death star. So in the words of Master Oogway ... " Nothing is impossible."

[@GrimAndDarkness]

3 questions. 1. Does that mean Corax is a perpetual? 2. The Audio book for Robutte Guilliman came out, that should give us a clew. 3. She said last doesn't mean Guilliman wasn't in that category, since it could mean before or afterwards.

[@40KTheories]

1) No because Corax wasn't mortally wounded 2) This video was recorded and uploaded before the 'Armour of Fate' story was released 3) Anval Thawn being the last was uttered before Guilliman was brought back, so at the time Thawn would have indeed been the last (or at least the last naturally born one)

[@GrimAndDarkness]

@@40KTheories 1. You said magically made like Erebus, wouldn't that count with the Emperor? 2. Wouldn't you have listen to tge audio before the post? Cuz now you would have to make another or is that for future videos? 3. Oh ok so Guilliman isnt a born perpetual then.

[@40KTheories]

1) Cyrene was resurrected by Erebus. Corax was just healed, not resurrected. 2) I had no time to read Armour of Fate prior to this being released so any information in that will be addressed in future videos 3) No, this is asking if him being resurrected made him into one.

[@GrimAndDarkness]

@@40KTheories I guess we will know when you read the audio and make a future video, I cant wait!

[@tobysquires1272]

I don't know if it's too much of a tenuous connection. But for a theories video could ynnead be the Emperor? Corpse Emperor, Ynnead god of the dead. May also explain ynnead being onboard in bringing Roboute back. Bit of a earth minbari vibe between the imps n eldari

[@ZivTheWyrd]

Nope. Two completely different entities.

[@girtleaf]

My theory is that Guilliman become part phoenix lord and had part or all of his soul moved to his armour until his body was healed

[@Boy93Red]

I believe 2nd Company Captain Catio Sacarius had a hand in all this

[@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870]

You misspelled my name. Either way no, I, Cato Sicarius, did not have an hand in this. On the other hand Guilliman decided to teach me everything he knows.

[@phreakazoith2237]

And when he was done teaching Cato Sicarius perfected everything because Cato Sicarius perfects everything perfectly.

[@jakubslavojmusilek5184]

One would almost think that getting rekt by Fulgrim makes you perpetual

[@Nyghtking]

Never piss off guilliman. He is a man who fought a legion with nothing but a power fist, in the void of space, without wearing a helmet, for half an hour and no one knows how he managed to do it.

[@vert3432]

My guilliman model has suffered plenty of mortal wounds... fucking snipers
