[@DeathMessenger1988]

I'm assuming that the Emperor could only find and help a FEW of the Primarchs, like Alpharius, Horus, Magnus and Guilliman. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken years to find all of them if he knew where ALL of them had winded up from the start.

[@kinagrill]

Or Mortarion, or Kurze.... yeah. :p

[@marcearlsantos9027]

Theres also a Plot hole that Angron was located near Ultramar Sector. So in Essence, Guilliman could have saved Angron. If Ultramar started conquering nearby worlds, there was a chance Agnron could have been saved. But then again, the whole dark eldar wounded Angron enough to be captured was just a stupid plot to make Angron traitor due to the nails.

Dorn was a man who felt deep rage and devotion. But his greatest characteristic is that he had the self discipline to try to rise above his demons. I think part of it is due to Inwit's need of an utilitarian mindset, but I think also in great part due to his grandpa's example.

I kind of wondered if part of the reason the Lion hated Konrad Cruze so much was because Cruze was a dark reflection of himself. They both grew up feral after all only there was no Luther to civilize Cruze.

[@daddymothmaster2920]

In the short story 'Savage Weapons' The Lion says that he always thought he and Curze should've been the closest due to their similarly solitary & savage upbringing. It seemed like he was more sad than anything that they ended up on opposite sides of the heresy.

[@gideonmele1556]

@@daddymothmaster2920perhaps pity for brother twisted by an isolation he himself was saved from. The rivalry with Leman is interesting as both were feral boys that were later civilized (yet one extroverted and the other extremely introverted)

[@huntermad5668]

​@@gideonmele1556 The reflection is more than that. Both wore masks to hide their true self. The introvert, The Lion barely knew how to handle human interactions led to terrible decisions. His mask is the knight image as He felt more at home in the forrest of Caliban among the beasts. The extrovert, the Wolf King knew everything about human interactions. His mask is the barbarian pesona to hide the extremely refined man inside. Actually, the hidden aspects of them are iconic image of each others in public mind

[@kharnt.betrayer2946]

The reason Corax was scared of Curze was because he thought the only difference between him and Curze was a handful of adult influences vs. no influences at all. If Corax had landed on Nostramo and Curze on Deliverance each would probably have turned out like the other.

[@ianharrison5758]

The lion felt kinship with Konrad bc they both grew up alone. Corvus Corax is the one with that dynamic with Curze. They are both made to slip between shadows as a blade in the dark, for Corax the hatred comes from the fact he sees himself within Konrad and that worries him, the idea of losing himself to depravity. Curze hates Corax because he is his superior reflection, and hated that while he haunted the night, Corax owned it.

[@saulgonzalez3305]

Important point is that Bobby G was the only one of them to have a Dad & a Mom, as Teresha Euten was the Chamberlain of the Palaca but c'mon, she was as close as a motherly figure as they get. Also, she was the only parent figure of a Primarch to survive until the Heresy, and one of the few people able to tell a Primarch "You are being a stupid asshole" to the face. I think it informs greatly of Guilliman's character the fact that he had that figure growing up AND being a General of a Galactic Conquest.

[@BM-wf9uf]

It's a shame we never got confirmation of what eventually happened to her. Konrad Curze nearly killed her but she was save by Vulkan at the last minute. Last we hear of her is she's on a ship trying to escape the planet and the ship was boarded by Night Lords...

Now I can't stop thinking about a traitorous Guilliman with this twisted evil Robinhood theme. Adopted by those aforementioned forest folk instead. Imagine chaos or traitor guilliman, with his classic organizational skills and blue tone, but now make him a mutated freak of nature in the face weilding an immense power bow-possibly of Intarec design. He could have had a Robinhood-like journey of tearing the rich from their decadence, but his desire to bring the powerful down put him in conflict with the Emperor, and he fought agaisnt him. In a battle, let's say, against a loyalist Mortarian, he is about to die but pulls a Magnus and cries out for chaos to save him. Nurgle or Khorne answers and horrible twisted plants begin springing from Guilliman, and from a cloud of noxious fumes a new vulpine face replaces Guilliman's scarred human one. Hrod Guilliman! Daemon Prince of Nurgel. Primarch of the Ultrahunters Traitor/Chaos Astartes Legion.

i think one of the many problems with the Primarchs was that they grew up too quickly. the emperor designed them to reach full maturity unfathomably quickly. this i feel is where the emperor went wrong because this has left the Primarchs so emotionally stunted. They may be ultra badass Demi-gods but at the end of the day they all have the minds of children because all of their raw emotions are amplified. i also have a feeling that the Emperor intervened in Gulliman's origin's because he forseaw the empire that Gulliman would build and he knew that he could potentially rival the Imperium himself.

[@kennycai8695]

I guess I can share some trivial stuff about the upbringing of the Primarchs. Trivial, yes, but you can try using them to flex over your friends if you wish. (Long comment ahead, you have been warned) Lion El'Jonson - There's a big "what if" factor between the Lion and Luther, since new lore has established that Luther lost his family (his wife and daughter) prior to meeting the Lion. Which both explains a lot, and adds more questions into the mix. Fulgrim - Fulgrim is the only known Primarch to have been married in canon, multiple times in fact. Unfortunately, since none of his spouses were transcendent beings like him, it did play into feeding Fulgrim's pride and distance from humanity. Perturabo - Contrary to common perception, there was one person that did try to reach out to him: his foster sister Calliphone. Following in 40K tradition, it all went to heck in a handbasket when Olympia revolted, and Calliphone was on the rebels' side (and Perty personally strangling her after she called him out on his BS). Jaghatai Khan - The Khan's disagreement with the Emperor was kind of already hinted before He found him. "You're the strongest, no one to oppose you, so all you do is build bigger walls". The Emperor retiring to work on his Webway project could have been the catalyst to corrupt the Khan, but luckily for us, the Khan had the maturity and sense not to give in. Leman Russ - We never did definitely find out what happened to Freki and Geri, the name of Russ' wolf brothers. We know one of them is dead, murder at the hands of Magnus during the Burning of Prospero, but no names were given. We do know one has a black pelt, the other a white one. Rogal Dorn - Inwit was described as an interstellar empire, not unlike Ultramar, so it's kind of surprising 40K has not explored this place yet. Although, given that Violeta Roskavler, a High Lord and the current Master of the Administratum, is from Inwit, we may get to see more of this place in the future (and maybe Rogal's return, but who am I kidding). Konrad Curze - The really messed up thing was that Konrad literally ATE his first kill's brains, and through that, learned through the dead person's memories just how much of a hellish landscape Nostramo truly is. Sanguinius - Surprisingly for the most popular loyalist Primarch, we actually know very little about Sanguinius' childhood and upbringing beyond a passage describing how he landed on Baal, was nearly executed for his wings, and how he ascended to the leader of the human tribes until the Emperor showed up. Ferrus Manus - Another "what if" scenario in play, except that Ferrus was found first by the humans on Medusa instead of confronting whatever he did that ended up with his literal iron hands. Perhaps it would have saved his life when facing Fulgrim, getting some help instead of doing it all by himself. Angron - The Butcher's Nails were implanted as punishment when Angron refused to kill his adoptive father. Contrary to belief, pre-Butcher's Nails Angron was very bro-tier to his fellow enslaved gladiators, and was even a psyker who used his powers to absorb their nightmares so they can sleep well. The Butcher's Nails definitely removed that portion of his brain, creating the berserker we know and fear today. Roboute Guilliman - The irony of the Hexarchy coup that occurred after Guilliman took control of the Senatorium Imperialis was that this was the plot that ended the life of Guilliman's adoptive father, Konor. The goal was the same, a group of disgruntled nobles upset that their power and privileges were taken away, so they seek to regain it through force. Guilliman KNEW it was coming, and just let them go about (and fail), hence why he did not change the entire High Lords lineup. Mortarion - Mortarion is the one Primarch we can confirm that was (technically) raised by xenos. Necare, the Overlord of Barbarus was said to be some kind of alien that wielded necromantic powers, which solidified Mortarion's hate for psychic abilities, since he hated the person. Necare's soul is currently held prisoner by the now-ascended Daemon Prince. Magnus - The ironic thing is that even though the Emperor warned Magnus constantly about the dangers of the Warp, what the Inquisition currently knows about the nature of the Eye of Terror came from manuscripts written by Magnus himself, which the Prosperans call "the Great Ocean". Horus - The name we are familiar with the Archtraitor is actually his "kill name", a cultural trait with the gangs of Cthonia. The Primarch's first name was "Nergui", which meant "no name" in Mongolian (ironic, considering which Primarch got the Mongolian motif in his design). Lorgar - Another messed up upbringing, cause Kor Phaeron had planned to "un-alive" Lorgar if he was no longer of use to him, since it's kind of hinted that Kor Phaeron knew Lorgar was something beyond human. Why Lorgar refused to kill him after all the mistreatment he took under Kor Phaeron's "care" is a mystery. Vulkan - Another "what if" scenario if instead of being adopted, Vulkan did end up thrown into a volcano for being a bad omen. Chaos fanboys would have a field day if compassion can be used to corrupt more followers to their side. Corvus Corax - Guilliman is not the only Primarch who grew up with maternal figures. The most prominent one is a surrogate older sister, Nasturi Ephrenia, who can get away with talking down to Corax. She worked as a shipmaster during the Great Crusade, but given 10 millennia has passed, I do not foresee her surviving to the present day. Alpharius Omegon - Another Primarch whose limelight was stolen by freaking Horus. Horus may have been the most public face of the Heresy, but it was Lorgar was tempted by the Ruinous Powers first. Similarly, Horus was always established as the first Primarch discovered in official canon, but Alpharius' new backstory says otherwise. We may never know.

another day, another majorkill primarch video.

[@casbot71]

_People's reaction_ to a child that can kill a full grown adult while still a preschooler. And then as they grow and keep growing rapidly and keep going till they are giants. So they were obviously superhuman to anyone on sight.

[@emilioochoa2862]

Honestly I think angron gets shot on the most and it's not even his fault, at least not most of it. I blame the Eldar for the galaxies biggest problems from slannesh to angron.

[@christiandauz3742]

The Heresy was inevitable. Had Angron not fallen to Khorne another Primarch would have fallen instead

[@lokensicarius9347]

@@christiandauz3742 Nothing is inevitable, the Emperor certainly didn't think so, that's just smoke and mirrors chaos spews to trap people within "fate" and prophecy that they hold all the winning threads to.

[@mcarrowtime7095]

You have to realize that angron’s Primarchs power allowed him to essentially lessen the effects of extreme emotion, negating the corrupting influence of two of the gods. Essentially, if angron hadn’t fallen he would’ve been influential in preventing the fall of Primarchs such as perterabo, sanguinius, mortarion, and possibly magnus as angron would act as a calming influence for his brothers.

[@thekorv95]

Man that comissioned artwork is so fucking cool. fucking bless for commisioning kickass artists and making sick fucking content.

[@jeskedjian]

Not a warhammer player beyond the old fantasy MMO (Which I had high hopes for). Your videos have helped to hook me on the lore. Mad respect for the depth of knowledge and care/accuracy/relevancy you put into everything.

[@cthulhupthagn5771]

His videos are entertaining but are not always accurate. Sometimes at all. Just a FYI if you start talking to others about 40k and get confused looks.

[@jeskedjian]

@cthulhupthagn5771 cool cool. I watch alot of the KZbin guys for lore now like Luetin and such. I just find the silly way he presents it to be entertaining and provide a solid grounding haha.

[@jonathanguy688]

Major Minis Idea: Beast Snagga Orks riding/taming tyranids! Would be cool to see with beast snaggas having just been introduced and hive fleet leviathan taking the galaxy by storm

I enjoy every new way you take the piss on the lost Primarchs

youre spoiling us with this upload schedule man 😂

The primarch backstories are super vague about how long their childhoods last and how anyone ever mistook them for human eh?

Corvus Corax grew up blaring Nickleback and Black Veil Brides. Vulcan would barge in to give him hugs from time to time.

[@DJSkittles365]

The Emperor should've sent a handful of his Custodies to assist and protect his primarchs, shadow them and only intervene if a threat to great for them to handle.

[@cantonlowlifemedia]

I would argue that the Lion didn't have a shit childhood. Playing in the forest with nobody to tell you what to do while being powerful enough to never be in any real danger? Sounds like a blast to me, especially me as a kid!

[@cantonlowlifemedia]

@@nobleman9393 was he? Seems as though he made it through just fine. That would imply that there was no threat beyond his ability. Therefore he wasn't in any real danger

[@raptorxrise5386]

@@cantonlowlifemedia All we know is he hunted SOME chaos beasts. He mostly had to hide from the bigger ones. Despite what Konrads origin would have you believe, primarchs are in fact, not immortal

[@secondarytrollaccount666]

You forgot to mention that konrad ate the bodies of the nostramons he came across to survive and since everyone on nostramo was a murderer of the worst kind, he did the thing where astartes gain memories by eating the brains of their victims and he learned how to brutalize people this way.

How do the traitors repair, maintain and aquire armor and weapons, what is the oldest set of armor still in use and notable traitor marines with unique armor/weapons: Bad Example, Lucious with the LaEr blade and the armor of souls.

[@mycommentpwnz]

The qualities you instill in a child will always shape the adult they become. Our flaws, as adults, almost always come-down to how we were shaped as children. Nobody wants to admit that, because parenting in the modern world is a ridiculously impossible undertaking to do correctly. But, it's 100% the truth. Prior to WW2, in the USA, families spent LOTS OF TIME with their children. Now, however, an apathetic education system basically raises children. Good luck with that.

[@yamahadrag69]

The thumbnail goes hard! Props to the artist for sure

[@isuckatusernames4297]

in an age where some ppl use ai to generate their thumbnails, MjaorKill is the guiding light who pays an artist for a commission

[@highlandvalor]

It’s no wonder fulgrim wanted to be perfect. He landed on chemos, a mining planet that didn’t have anything and used his smarts to make it better. Basically, made the world do a full 180. He introduced art and culture that had long been gone due to the rationing of food, and resources.

[@fluffly3606]

I initially read the title as "How did each Primarch speed their childhood" and thought it was entirely about Jaghatai

[@hollowshield2315]

I was JUST wondering when we'd get a video on the primarch's childhoods. it's like majorkill can read minds, but that's not possible... right?

[@saro3212]

The Lion art is AWESOME!!! Angels roar for the glory of your Lord!!!ROAR!!!

[@evanberchule8389]

That thumbnail art was definitely worth the commission. It looks like you could have pulled it right out of a codex.
