What Was Each Primarch's Weakness/Flaw? | Warhammer 40k Lore

[@heeman1203]

Jaghati's weakness was his tendency to run away from his problems and his missguided belief that doing so was some form of "freedom". this is shown by how he went out of his way to be on the fringes of the great crusade to get away from the imperium due to feeling conflicted about serving an emperor (as he used to tear them down back on his homeworld), what differentiates Jaghati is that he actually overcame his flaw through positive character development while the traitors doubled down.

[@mrckapm2241]

As a major Jaghatai lover, I would say his biggest weakness was his animosity. He didn't really make friends with the other Primarchs and the only two he was really close to were Horus and Magnus. Once the Heresy broke out he was basically alone but still remained steadfast in his determination to defend the Imperium (which as you have noted shocked everyone)

[@Channel-23s]

He was cordial with the Angel too but overall he felt like he should do his work solo and not brag about anything he’s like a more wise version of Rogal but likes Speed rather then defense

[@uriel005]

I don't think he had a level of animosity as much as you would think. I think its more the other primarchs are for the most part hard to get along with. Most of them are prideful to some extent/a bit mad. They are demigods walking amongst mortals with little to pose a challenge to them and for the most part never had the ego checks that normal people have throughout their lives because they were in fact competent enough for the most part to succeed at whatever they seriously attempted on their homeworlds. It doesn't help that they really didn't interact all that much when it comes down to it and I'm not including corroborating on the crusade. I mean really interacting with eachother in such a way that they could contest each others ideas and challenge each other. So a naturally down to earth personality would probably have significant issues with them.

I’d say Guilliman’s biggest weakness is his emotional instability. Guilliman is normally pretty level headed and arguably the most ‘sane’ Primarch, but he tends to let his anger get the better of him. This very often led to his near-suicidal death charges against better fighters (Fulgrim, Angron, Lorgar etc.) during the heresy which often led to needless casualties which caused further issues down the line.

[@aguspuig6615]

LOL Lorgar is NOT a better fighter. He's without question the weakest of the primarchs physically. So much so that the only reason he's still alive is his ass was saved at the last moment multiple times. Angron kept Guilliman from killing him, Kurze kept Corax from ripping him apart (literally), etc.

(Stupid) Theory: Guilliman split the Legions mainly because his Legion was by far the largest, so the most likely candidate of new Traitor Space Marines after the Heresy is from the Ultramarines. By splitting the Legions into Chapters, Guilliman can avoid the blame if one of his Ultramarine gene-seed Chapters turns to Chaos.

That's not a stupid theory it's basically the underlining reason he split them up including his, he knew and down the road throughout the lore some Ultramarine succesors fell to chaos. So it was smart tbh.

[@Nyghtking]

@@CanadianHunter69 I think Guiliman even said himself his reason for splitting the chapters was so that if another heresy broke out no one chapter would be able to wield the power they had before, thus the damage would be limited, it makes sense in a way as a chapter master would have to jump through hoops to get all successor chapters together, and even more hoops to get them all to agree to turn traitor, and that takes time, which can then he exploited by the loyalists.

In a way there is no higher compliment than that, going as an unsung hero. But alas his Primarch ego got in the way. He's still awesome.

For the love of the Man Emperor of Mankind Vulkan had one massive flaw and that was attempting to cuddle and boop the snoot of every creature he came across. Vulkan died over and over and over again as his sons begged him not to touch the incredibly dangerous animals only for him to go ahead to do it anyway and get himself blown up or poisoned to death within seconds. No matter how many times his sons begged him to leave the dangerous animals alone Vulkan would always say "I bet this animal is friendly, I must boop its snoot and cuddle it", sadly it always lead to Vulkan dying in horrific ways in front of his sons and traumatising them only for him to return to life and stand up to question where he was. His sons would stomp their feet and proclaim "VULKAN LIVES" to the skies only for Vulkan to attempt to mess with another deadly animal as soon as he regained consciousness. Because of Vulkan's tendency to get himself killed he has his most elite of Astartes travelling around the galaxy in order to try and keep him safe. This is why Vulkan's equipment constantly goes missing and must be recovered by the Chapter Master of the Salamanders Chapter. Will Vulkan ever stop trying to cuddle and boop the snoots of dangerous animals and return to his sons? We'll never know.

I always put the Lion and Russ as kind of parallel mirrors. I'd say for sure Lion starts more perfect but as time goes on the pride/people skills starts to show its flaws. Russ starts flawed, a hypocritical drunken lout but he learns from it, hard lessons to be sure but the progress is definitely there. I mean recognizing his fight with Lion was stupid as hell, teaching Angron, even his desperate hope for Magnus to resolve things peaceably (something I don't think his younger self would have even considered). Combat wise I'd put them at a similar level. So on the level of a chaos empowered Horus (again russ fucked up here... one job Russ and you couldn't finish it because plot/moment of stupid, think if it was Lion in his place he would have finished it the moment he had Horus on his knees). Their reunion is the one I'm looking forward too most. Mostly because I have an image of a wizened and older Russ moving from the Thor like character of young dumb and full of piss and vinegar to more Odin like after his stint in the warp. Calmer and wiser. Then having him interact with a Lion who still assumes him to be the brash barbarian of 10000 years past.

[@24icedog]

Then hesitated and got suckered with a mace to the face because plot couldn't have him killing Horus. I think that alone puts him up there combat level wise spear of the emperor or not. Hell most of his failures are down to his hesitation to actually seriously commit to fights with other primarchs. I mean when he fought lion they took it to the ground and he just started laughing about how stupid it was that they fought and Lion took it badly and ko'd him. Angron really wasn't a fight but a point being made and at that point he really wasn't gearing into the fight to kill him and as I stated earlier the Horus fight was pretty much doomed to prequel outcomes already being determined. That aside one of the Lion's biggest feats is dealing with Konrad who I personally think was a bit overblown because Vulkan whooped him and nearly killed him in 1 shot with his bare hands, while konrad was armored and with a shield the moment he decided to stop playing games and committed to escaping. Not sure if that says more about Vulkan being the low key undisputed top tier held back by the simple fact he holds back. So yeah I'd probably put them at similar levels if it came down to a fight to the death. I think the differences between them come down to Russ being less refined in a fight to Lion's more clinical and precise style but that isn't to say one is necessarily better than the other.

[@dementiagaming726]

What do we actually know about Omegon as a character? Does he have any dialogue, any clear goals or any stories with him in them?

[@vavra222]

He has some, in the "Alpharius - Head of the Hydra" book. Which is basically his POV of being found by the Emperor and then working to find his other half. I can recommend the book, there is a nice bit of foreshadowing when Alpharius wants to instigate riots on some world and uses a recording of a forbidden warcry of a past enemy of those people.

[@garypipe1770]

Also we don't 100% know if it was Alpharius or Omegon who died as they switched all the bloody time

Next video idea: If one of the Chaos Gods decides to somehow join forces with the Imperium against the other Chaos Gods, who would it be, why and how would it affect the current setting?

[@ismaelsantos5378]

That would probably be Khorne, as Khorne doesn't care from where the blood flows as long as it keeps flowing, so he would have no problem so long as The Imperium keeps the blood flowing with crusades. His creations have some sort of sense of honor(ish) as Ka'bhandha rushed to "aid" the Blood Angels during the Devastation of Baal against the Tyranids, largely because if anyone is gonna destroy the Blood Angels, it's gona be Ka'bhandha and nobody else. He is also hates sorcery, so that puts him against both Tzeench and Slaanesh.

[@vincentschaum9622]

each of the chaos gods would join with humanity, if humans were left to their own devices, it makes the chaos gods blush, 1.(Khorne) conquest and battle, dark ages of tech saw them conquered millions of worlds( big e inherited it) races encountered were considered trivia and many driven to extinction 2.(Nurgle) created many subhuman species, spreading life and death to stars just by colonizing planets( new eco systems to non natives, Nurgley would love columbus) 3.(tzeentch) brings joy to see humans the most productive and the most self destructive race work their magic 4.(slaanesh) human greed knows no bound, planet, to stars, to sectors, to Milky way, to galaxies, humans made contact with tyranids in their own galaxy instead of the other way around. but its all just a big if, humanity got two opportunity, During the golden of tech if A.Is stays normal, and if the big e just be a responsible father figure.

[@ismaelsantos5378]

@@PeakAtU2 Here's the thing, the question made by pumpking doesn't say "humanity". It says "the forces of the Imperium". Considering the 4 chaos gods see The Emperor as "The Anathema", which one would be the most likely to ignore that, at least temporarily. I say Khorne as he hates 2 of the other 3 chaos gods and is no more antagonistic towards the imperium as he is towards everyone else, so it would be similar to how the Blood Axe Orks often join forces with the Imperium either as mercenaries or when something bigger and badder shows up (like Nids or Daemons). Also, there's the whole "Ka'bhandha saves the Blood Angels from the Nids because only Ka'bhandha is allowed to kill the BAs" thing.

"In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium humanity is a weakness" Good quote

As a major Mortarion fan; I agree with his hypocrisy being his biggest weakness but it's part of why I love his character. Especially how he sold his and his legion's souls to Nurgle during that fateful flight to Terra as a desperate attempt to save his sons and in that moment of weakness,became exactly what he hated. Hence why I love Mortarion

[@daltonbalusek]

I agree, I do like his fall. Despite his outward way of acting his inner self did love his sons but he knew if he showed such affection it would most likely weaken their own drives. So when given the change to save his sons from never ending suffering he took the chance, sadly it was a twisted deal. But at least when he talks to himself he does have some self hatred for what he has become, but must live with it.

[@CryingCreeperMLG]

I actually think the comment about Sanguinius being a weak commander is inaccurate. It's stated in the Sanguinius - The Great Angel novel that the Blood Angels had one of the best combat records in the entire Imperium during the Great Crusade, and that the few worlds Sanguinius couldn't charm or barter into joining the Imperium would fall to his Legion in a fraction of the time they would to others. Like the PoV character, an author who is very critical of the Great Crusade, is blown away by Sanguinius' (and his Legions) efficiency.
