Lion El'Jonson | Dark Angels Primarch Warhammer 40K Lore

[@InquisitorRomanov]

The Lion's return is incredible. Some of the best stuff to come out of the black library in a long time. The best Primarch in the current setting, imo.

[@jopump9907]

Circular and pointless lore. Even GW admits the overall story of war40k will NEVER be resolved INTENTIONALLY. That means it has no literary integrity.

[@restorationofidentity]

The Lion such a interesting character, relatable to many of us. My favourite primarch..

[@InquisitorRomanov]

Yeah...he's literally the best of the best. Can't get enough Lion...just wish they'd move his story forward. Can't wait for him to meet Guilliman.

MY MAN WOKE AFTER 10 THOUSAND YEARS BEAT UP THE DOPPELGANGER OF EVERY PRIMARCH AND THE DAEMON PRIMARCH ANGRON.🗿

[@InquisitorRomanov]

That's why he's the best there ever was.

I just hope they won't do any grimderp bullshit with him. So far his growth was fun and enjoyable journey. He became a badass questing Knight helping Imperium's citizens bypassing bureaucracy. With the forestwalk he's a serious force to help humanity stave off tide of darkness!

[@InquisitorRomanov]

Absolutely!

Thanks so much, really appreciate it!

Just for my curiosity, are you a legitimate descendent of Alexander III? I'm asking because I'm an illegitimate descendent of the House of Batthyány, the arguably 2nd or 3rd most noble house of Hungary. The first are of course the Habsburgs, but for 2nd place it's a toss up between the Esterházies and the Batthyánies. Though the House Esterházy has the edge, probably. Anyway, I thought for years that I was a descendent of Lajos Batthyány, the first prime minister of Hungary in 1848. But that's not so, turns out I'm descendent from Lajos' father's cousin. They just happened to share ownership of a castle, and in all easily accessible sources only the far more famous Lajos was mentioned. Anyway, you're fastly becoming one of my favourite Warhammer 40k lore distributors.

[@InquisitorRomanov]

I am. Though it has not been a pleasant experience. Your family tree is very interesting though. I know one Habsburg, but otherwise don’t know much about Hungary, or Austria for that matter. Been wanting to visit for a while though. Yeah, bloodlines are very interesting. I’d try to find any pictures of your ancestor as you can. Even paintings. I appreciate your kind words. Been thinking about doing this channel for years, and finally got around to it. So glad to know people like whatI do.

When I heard the blood angels bringing lion to the fray, i immediately imagined it like this: oi dark angels! We got your da!" While it's not the "knock the nonsense out of the unforgiven(via "slavic educational slap"(you know if you've been on the receiving end of such))" i expected lion to deal with the fallen issue, at least he did in a way cleared up some things and reconciled with those who stayed true(and purging ones fallen to chaos). Speaking of "lion killing the emperor"...there is some plausibility for that particular theory(in gathering storm 3, when they all arrive on terra, guilliman orders cypher locked up instead of honoring his part of the deal(to give him audience with the big e). Mainly due to the sword cypher carries(approximate quote was "guilliman would never allow that sword anywhere near big e). It could still happen(speculated goal of cypher was to either present the sword(implied to indeed be the reforged lion sword) to big e thus redeeming all of the fallen, OR he'd draw the sword by himself for the first and last time, killing big e).

[@InquisitorRomanov]

I believe that Cypher is just the bearer of the sword. It must be The Lion who uses it on Emps. Then again, only been waiting like 25 years or more to know what's up with Cypher...so, probably will be 25 more before they really tell us anything.

[@glockfanboy4635]

Htfo a second.... Youre the great grandson of Alexander the 3rd of Russia???? What??????

[@InquisitorRomanov]

Indeed I am Alexander Romanov, 3x grandson of the Tsar. Though I look much more like Tsar Alexander I than his brother's grandson Alexander III.

I love how much you love Guilliman. Just finished Space Marine 2 today, and thought maybe I could even paint some blue boys.
