[@Erraddo]

@@teddyomes There have been some friendly duels in the lore, but generally primarchs are more powerful, with some limitations. Magnus would probably lose without his psychic powers. Alpharius, alone, would lose. What is important is, inside the imperial palace, where the custodes know the terrain and it's 10000 vs 1-21 guys? Yeah it's a curbstomp. A squad of 5 could probably take out most primarchs (pre-demon prince status of course) or at least hold them off long enough for reinforcements to get there. Also, Primarchs are named characters. 1v1 with an unnamed custodes isnt really fair. Constantin Valdor is probably on the same level as Russ, though.

[@teddyomes]

I'm not super informed as to the 1v1 numbers. But I have heard that the custodes are a plus one on all levels compared to the primarks in some of the various codex manuals concerning the board games.

To me it feels like this: Horus strolls on in like the swaggering gangland boss he grew up as. Alpharius is the sidekick sheltering in his shadow, hanging around with the cool kid as it were. The Khan is there clearly with some reluctance, because once the Khan decides you are a friend, you are a friend, but he doesn't agree. And Malcador ... he has seen this kind of thing a million times before, he wasn't impressed with it then, and he's not now. You can't bully or intimidate the Sigilite.

[@ADRooney1]

More of an, old cantankerous and envious geriatric gets caught scheming in the shadows, throws a temper tantrum when confronted about it. "Dont even say that name" because why? Forces you to confront your own sins for a second? The primarchs behave in accordance to station, malcador ATTACKS without just cause, repeatedly using psyker abilities on them. The equivalent would be Horus pinning someone to the ground under heel the moment a conversation doesn't go the way he would like, then throttling them. The degree of escalation from the beligerant old coot is the real foreshadowing on why the imperium will fall, sheer arrogance from lesser men (Morally), placed in control of the most important work in their history. Malcador falsely believes himself worthy to govern and rule, but loses his temper faster than diabetic child, typical of a telepath honestly, they have insane control issues.

[@tzaphkielconficturus7136]

@@ADRooney1 He only uses his power on Horus when horus is going to speak the name of one fo the lost primarchs. The Emperor ordered them never to do that, and considering the Emperor's previous actions, he probably didn't do that out of sentiment.

[@ianharrison5758]

@@ADRooney1 I honestly agree with that perception of Malcador. He was a man soaked in blood and lies. The only being to hold the confidence of the emperor. I don’t question his loyalty, I do question his motives. It’s been established that names are important in 40k. A gray knight was able to banish Mortarion back to the warp with the aid of his true name. If Horus were to speak the true name of whichever brother he was talking about, it could have been a disaster. Who knows what secrets are behind their purge. Only thing we know for sure is that it seems the emperor himself is dead set on keeping them secret. Maybe Malcador was trying to save Horus in his egotistical, old ass man type of way

[@justinanderson2460]

@@ADRooney1+ I'd argue this is mostly nonsense for the following reasons: 1) Maclador specifically stated to Horus it was the Emperor's direct command to not speak their names. Up until Horus went down that road, the Sigilite was incredibly cool, calm and collected despite Horus essentially throwing a tantrum (however justified he might have felt). 2) Horus was accusing Malcador overstepping his authority (which, as Malcador points out, is that of the Emperor himself whenever the Big E is away from Terra) which isn't at all true due to this being the Emperor's own ruling. 3) Malcador is, frankly, the best option to rule Terra and the Imperium as a whole (outside of the Emperor himself) and has proven this over and over again. His mind is impossibly keen for business, logistics, politics, war administration and espionage and he's not at all afraid to do what must be done (including some very morally grey things) in order to ensure the Imperium is kept safe. He's also the guy behind the Guild of Assassins (who he saved countless lives with their intervention before the Inquisition became the bullshit they are today and began commandeering them) the Grey Knights (who speak for themselves) and the Inquisition - before it became way too full of itself. He understands humanity on every level - from the commoner to the highest Lord and even Primarchs and Astartes. He's a sublime judge of character and skilled in psychology and is easily able to recognise when someone is or is not a fit for a certain task. Moreover, I have no doubt that, judging by his appearances and his belief in and adherence to the Emperor's plan, Malcador wouldn't even consider the term "worthiness" concerning himself or any other ruler aside from the Emperor. More like what is most effective insofar as what works out in the Imperium's best interests. . This whole scene reads like Horus, bursting in and acting like a petulant child railing at an (admittedly unfortunate) situation that he does not truly understand, threatening Malcador with grand words and a lot of noise in a public and manner - almost making a spectacle out of it. He then proceeds to continue his tantrum when he doesn't get the outcome he wants, pushing the boundaries of Malcador's patience until finally crossing a line by threatening to defy the Emperor's own order. This was the one and only point where Malcador loses his temper and he very quickly puts this arrogant, ignorant child in his place before dismissing the whole thing and letting it go, satisfied he's made his point. Sure the kid storms out in a huff but he also doesn't try to push his luck to that extent again. . If you want to still claim the Primarchs are behaving according to their station, remember that Malcador was granted the "station" of Lord Regent and the Emperor's own authority to go along with it - by the Emperor himself. His "station" is above that of the Primarchs in this instance and he acts accordingly.

I actually disagree. I would like to see more stories with him in it. But I think its better to keep Malcasor's back story similar to the Emperor's. They are too closely linked. Hell, for all we know, Malcador could be a portion of the Emperor's psyche that split off or was cast off as a safety mechanism. If I remember right there is a story where the Emperor tells Guiliman I think, that he has to constantly concentrate on like 20 things at all times, lending credence to the shaman committing ritual suicide and becoming an amalgam of powerful psychic souls called the Emperor.

@@ADRooney1 very good point. Keep in mind they aren’t alone in this chamber. If Malcador kills Horus, who at this point is a beloved prince and war hero, word will spread very fast. Malcador was into something when he pointed out the family that was there to see the Primarchs in person, knowing there’s nothing Horus hates more then not living up to the image people have of him. At the very least Horus should’ve found some way to talk to Malcador alone, but that would undermine the drama of confronting him in public. And he was mad. He was very mad, first about the statues and then about Malcador’s attitude towards him and his brothers. Notice he never actually backed down - he stabbed the table and left. No resolution.

I love it when we get to see the Primarchs and their feelings for each other. However much they cared about the Imperium and the Emperor's plan for humanity, they cared about their brothers more. Even Leman Russ, in the moments before the fall of Prospero did not want to execute the order he believed at the time, had come from his father to break Magnus and the Thousand Sons. And when counseled by the Emperor himself on whether or not to have Lorgar and the XVIIth suffer the same fate as the forgotten Primarchs and their Legions, Russ voted against it, saying he had no wish to lose a third brother. I can only wonder how much of an impact this scene played in Horus mind when Erebus showed him visions of a future where the statues of him and eight other primarchs had been removed from the palace and to which extent it convinced him that rebellion was the only solution to see that the Legions were given what he considered their due.

Got the feeling the lost primarch’s statue was removed for a failure, perhaps falling in battle? Could be the price of failure that Horus, Alpharius and the Khan felt they had to get answers for as it couls easily happen to them. The name and Glory was everything to the Legions.

[@danceswithgerbals1]

@@JohnDoe-gu7eh I have thought about this as well, but I'm still not sure. The Emperor kept a lot of secrets and kept them well. Sometimes even utterly wiping the memories of the Primarchs of the events they had witnessed. Also, most the Primarchs were found by the Emperor and Emperor alone (by this I mean he didn't bring all the other Primarchs along each time one was discovered), so it is possible that the Emp found one of the Primarchs fallen to chaos, killed him, blamed it on something else, and then spread that story. It could be false story where he claimed that a 'genetic' flaw was found and that is also why a large portion of the legionaries where wiped out as well. The 'failure' could then be considered the Emperors. This would then pave the way for the other Primarchs to be like "WTH?!" when they are getting erased and thinking it a huge overreaction, but in truth they wouldn't know the full truth (just my thoughts on how it could be a false story). The Emperor had basically declared war on all religion in the hopes of wiping it from the galaxy to weaken the chaos gods considerably. He most likely wouldn't tell his sons of what really happened if one of their brothers fell to chaos because his ultimate crusade was to erase knowledge of the dark gods entirely so they had less influence and power. So if this did happen, even if Logar knew originally about it, the Emperor probably would do a mind wipe on him, especially given Logar's desire to have religion. Once again I don't know. The failure was big. That's all we know. Big enough for the Big E himself to, at least in the long run, be OK with wiping them from existence. I think if one fell in battle, failed to do a duty, or some other failure, the Emp and Malcador wouldn't go to extremes in destroying everything pertaining to them.

[@Skerra-kk6sm]

Well, it sounds for sure that Leman Russ helped kill one, and this story makes it sound like all the primarchs were in agreement about it. So I don't know about the Emperor wiping memories in this particular case. My personal theory is that one Primarch had allied himself with Xenos and wouldn't give up his allies and the other fell in battle and the Emperor couldn't have the knowledge that his primarchs could be killed floating around. Bad publicity after all

[@elricengquist9989]

I don't think it is merely the taint or knowledge of chaos, since most of them are already tainted from when they were taken an scattered by chaos. Might be more delving into chaos worship that might have caused it. I mean one Idea I had is that the legion of the damned is one of the lost/forgotten legions that had delved into using the warp, but maybe also learned to create an use demons/demon vessels, and thru that knowledge even after death came back as daemons/spirits (maybe the emperor bring them back even after he is on the throne.) I mean imagine with the knowledge the emperor has of chaos, him coming upon a world with one of his children on the world. An as he descends onto the world seeing demons that his son had summoned, people that his son had placed demons into, and how that would affect him. Even the idea of if this same son attacked an used his connection to the emperor against him, which might explain how the emperor might change the end game of the use for the primarchs later on. like going form instead of them being both conquers an lords to rule mankind, to seeing them as too dangerous an so after uniting the empire killing them off.

[@paulelder9488]

This encounter over the erasure of the lost primarchs is the key stone that Eribus used to sway Horus after the primarch had been felled by the Anethane blade. Horus's spirit was taken to the time line where he had rebelled and saw that his and his fellow traitor brothers statues were now dust to be tred on by mortal feet. Thier legacy gone as if it never had existed. Horus had already witnessed it once so it was all too easy to believe it could happen again. Even Magnus's words and effort were.too little to late in the warp after Horus had seen the future that denighed him and his brothers and thier legions the honor and glory they had fought for. Malcador and the Emperor bear some of the blame for the heresy to come.

[@spike.strat1318]

Paul Elder I believe that not all the Primarchs were meant to see the end of the Great Crusade, Emps constantly testing all of them seeing who will be able to carry the burden of their responsibility. The heresy just came early.

[@williamamely7038]

It's great to see Horus protest the taking down of the statues of the lost Primarchs. It's obvious that Horus believes that they should still be remembered, and honored. Malcador, on the other hand, clearly makes it known that the Primarchs are no more important than the rest of Humanity. I still believed that the missing brothers never turned against the Emperor, but they may have had information that would have caused the other Primarchs to question their creator, the Emperor.

[@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420]

I think Alpharius is just playing Horus against Malcador in a fight he already knew the outcome of just to see if Horus' go for the throat approach would get Malcador to slip some little bits of information or confirm things he was thinking already, like it was the Emperor's order to remove them. Or what is Malcador gonna say about rewritting history vs how does his body reactions say he feels about it, does he let slip what he knows about Alpharius' agents in the palace vs what can he confirm possibly about what he believes about Malcadors spies. It's like Varrrus and Little Finger having a spymaster bromance and Horus doesn't realize he's Cersei. Jaghatai fully realizes this is all bullshit, Horus has been played, but there's important information and philosophical points at stake that he's going to understand before he gets too riled up, and try to stop Horus from playing himself, cause he knows Alpharius will let him go full murderfuck on Malcador just to see what the Sigilite does as a counter.

The secrets that Malcador and the Emperor so zealously protected is what lead to the heresy.

I believe the both of them were much much more naive than most would like to believe.

[@Skerra-kk6sm]

One of the recent books in the Dark Imperium series gave a good explanation for why the Emperor kept the warp a secret from humanity. The warp gains strength from humanity's fears. Imagine if they knew there were real daemons and monsters. People would dwell on it and the warp beings would become even more powerful. By keeping it a secret, he was actually reducing the power of the warp. I still think he should have told his primarchs though.

@@Skerra-kk6sm He should have definitely told the Primarchs. Do you think trying to keep the warp's existence a secret was effective in the long run? I mean humanity was separated from each other for years and Chaos took hold on some planets and then you have Chaos cults springing up on planets controlled by the Imperium. I think he should have taught people about the warp and belittle the Chaos gods, so that people didn't of them as gods but more like extra dimensional creatures that pray on excess. He could have instilled the Imperial truth and used Chaos as a means of promoting a moral compass for humanity.

Malcador disagreed with the emperor about portraying himself and the Primarchs as god-like figures when they were uniting mankind as it put the space marines and Primarchs on pedestals that human could never reach. Horus also saw himself, his brothers and their legions above mankind. Also the Emperor never intended for himself or his Primarchs to play any active role in the Imperium after the great crusade. They would simply retire. That’s why, love him o hate him, Guilliman told his Ultramarines that they couldn’t just be soldiers or warriors, he believed when the Crusade was over, his legion would need to contribute to mankind beyond shooting and killing but to add to the culture and art of humanity and their progress.
