‘Every strategic sense I possess tells me that Horus will direct his forces to reave the planet and exploit our concern for humanity,’ said Dorn. ‘He does this expressly to divide our efforts. When we are split, and our warriors spread, that is when the Warmaster will fall on us and seize victory. We must stand united.’ ‘Then you do not disagree with me,’ said the Khan. ‘The population is at risk.’ ‘I anticipated slaughter long ago,’ said Dorn, ‘and I regret that his chain of events come to pass, but we cannot respond to whatever provocation Horus present to us. We cannot let ourselves be lured out. We cannot follow his plan. We will make ourselves weak, then all is lost.’ ‘Since when was saving mankind from the darkness a sign of weakness?’ said the Khan, ‘Sanguinius, my brother and comrade, what do you see? Lend me your foresight.’ Sanguinius shut his eyes. Like that, he appeared drawn and tired, a funerary monument to himself. Dorn supressed a shudder. ‘My sight is not so clear as father’s’, said Sanguinius. ‘The Future is ever in flux. Only some events…’ He paused, finding the words hard to say. ‘Only some events are certain.’ ‘Do you see me? What will be the consequences of inaction?’ ‘I see fire, and blood, and a world laid waste if you do not act.’ ‘If I act?’ said the Khan. Sanguinius opened his eyes to look at him. ‘There is a grave risk to you. A confrontation unlooked for, and if you survive, a flight from one danger into greater peril.’ ‘Who will I face?’ ‘I cannot divine.’ ‘Will I save lives?’ Sanguinius nodded. ‘Many.’ ‘That is what I was made for,’ said the Khan. ‘I will ride out.’ - interaction between Chad-hatai Khan, Rogal Dorn and Sanguinius

The Khan is by far one of my favorite primarchs, and it pains me that he’s so overlooked. I don’t think he’ll be the next loyalist primarch to come back, that honor will probably either go to Dorn, the Lion, or Corax, but there’s one very specific conversation that speaks of a legendary duel over 10 thousand years in the making: (For context, Fulgrim, Sanguinius, Mortarion, and the Khan are having a conversation about why the Khan is not happy Horus is Warmaster) “So should it have been you?” asked Fulgrim acerbically. Mortarion snorted again, but Sanguinius said nothing. “I wouldn't have taken it,” said the Khan. “Of course you would have,” said Fulgrim. The Khan shook his head. “I have no use for another title. My people give me enough.” Sanguinius smiled. “My brother, I think you are the most inscrutable of us all. I know what Rogal wants, and I know what Roboute wants, but even after so long I have no idea what you want.” “He wants to be left alone,” said Fulgrim. “To shoot off into the stars and hunt down xenos on those delightful jetbikes. They're devilishly fast. I heard from a contact on Mars, Jaghatai, that you do strange things to your ships.” The Khan shot him a heavy-lidded stare. “I heard you do strange things to your warriors.” Fulgrim's slender face briefly flared with anger, but Sanguinius laughed. “I wonder which one of you would win in a duel,” the Angel mused. “I would like to see that. You both handle a blade like gods.” “Name the place, brother,” Fulgrim said to the Khan. “I'd even travel to Chogoris, if you built a palace to keep the dust from my armour.” The Khan felt the insult. It stabbed at him, deeply, but his expression never changed. They could never know, none of them, how much their closed fraternity rankled him. “You would lose,” said the Khan. Fulgrim grinned, but there was something fragile in it. “Oh?” “You would lose because you would treat it like a game, like you treat everything, and I would not. You would lose because you know nothing of me, and I know everything of you because you shout it from the turrets of your battle cruisers. My prowess remains unknown. You have some reputation as a swordsman, brother, but I make no boast when I tell you I would leave you choking on it.” Fulgrim’s cheeks flushed. For a moment, he looked like he would go for his blade. As ever, Sanguinius’s calm smile soothed the moment. “Now I regret bringing this up,” he sighed. “In the cause of peace, shall we put this stupidity behind us? We are not at war, and never likely to be, and that is truly a blessing.” “Who’d have thought it?” said Mortarion to the Khan, a shrewd glint in his rheumy eyes. “You do have your pride.” “As do you.”

From the Siege of Terra, I loved how during their duel, the Khan got the living shit kicked out of him by Daemon Prince Mortarion, but he taunted him the whole time and told Mortarion, that he was a bitch for giving in to chaos and it occurred to Morty that’s how everybody would remember him as. Not somebody who could endure the worst punishments, but as a weak coward.

[@jacobfontenot8547]

Just be rest assured that Khan decapitates him in the end. "Mortarion was still the greater of them. He was still the stronger, the more steeped in preternatural gifts, but now all that he felt was doubt, rocked by the remorseless fury of one who had never been anything more than flighty, self-regarding and unreliable. All Mortarion could see just then was one who wished to kill him - who would do anything, sacrifice anything, fight himself beyond physical limits, destroy his own body, his own heart, his own soul, just for the satisfaction of the oaths he had made in the void. 'If you know what I did,' Mortarion cried out, fighting on now through that cold fog of indecision, 'then you know the truth of it, brother - I can no longer die.' It was as if a signal had been given. The Khan's bloodied head lifted, the remnants of his long hair hanging in matted clumps. 'Oh, I know that,' he murmured, with the most perfect contempt he had ever mustered. 'But I can.' Then he leapt. His broken legs still propelled him, his fractured arms still bore his blade, his blood-filled lungs and perforated heart still gave him just enough power, and he swept in close. If he had been in the prime of condition, the move might have been hard to counter, but he was already little more than a corpse held together by force of will, and so Silence interposed itself, catching the Khan under his armour-stripped shoulder and impaling him deep. But that didn't stop him. The parry had been seen, planned for, and so he just kept coming, dragging himself up the length of the blade until the scythe jutted out of his ruptured back and the White Tiger was in tight against Mortarion's neck. For an instant, their two faces were right up against one another - both cadaverous now, drained of blood, drained of life, existing only as masks onto pure vengeance. All their majesty was stripped away, scraped out across the utilitarian rockcrete, leaving just the desire, the violence, the brute mechanics of despite. It only took a split second. Mortarion's eyes went wide, realising that he couldn't wrench his brother away in time. The Khan's narrowed. 'And that makes the difference,' Jaghatai spat. He snapped his dao across, severing Mortarion's neck cleanly in an explosion of black bile, before collapsing down into the warp explosion that turned the landing stage, briefly, into the brightest object on the planet after the Emperor's tormented soul itself."

Edit: 69 likes, nice. He is almost perfect. But his weakness is his rage. When he gets really pissed off, he makes reckless decisions. He himself knows of this. And tries to remain calm in all situations. His usual calm is not his natural self, it is a constant effort of his, in order to not lose sight and clarity. Yet, when he loses control of his impulsivity, he makes decisions like genocideing an entire tribe, charging out of the safety of Terras defences, risking his life and other defenders morale by the death of a loyalist primarch, following dark eldar into an obvious trap etc. I mean, i doubt the eldar could do much against a pissed off to the point Angron would tell him to chill-super saiyan mode Jaghatai, and yet, even if thats the case, he got lost and has to deal with a memelord god. Abondoning the imperium when it needs heroes like him most. Anyways, ehat im trying to say here is, he is unique in character because he knows his weaknesses and tries to manage them, and he does that without being an autistic piece of garbage like Dorn. And even still, he makes mistakes which makes him a relateable character. Not even his demigod biology can prevent him being human at times. Thats good writing yo.

I read this passage and there's a lot of context missing. Fulgrim didn't mean it as an insult at the time. Since both Sanguinius and Fulgrim were curious about their mysterious brother who just sort of keeps to himself and doesn't talk much. And they're trying to get him to socialize. So this was basically: "Hey Sanguinius, I hear Khan likes to mod his cars." Then Khan was like: "I hear you fuck your men. SICK BURN." Then Sanguinius does what he does and plays the peacemaker. Just kind of made Khan seem like a dick in that instance. Khan might be one of the more unassuming Primarchs, but he still has that dick-swinging swagger of the other Primarchs and picks fights he probably shouldn't. When people saying he's reasonable, we're talking about Primarch standards. He still genocided an entire tribe out of revenge and wasn't afraid to do it again if his enemies didn't surrender. The Primarchs are temperamental war machines and there are times where even the most level-headed of them simply have no chill.

The Khan has something that none of his brothers truly had. Strength of Character. This was a man who held to his values and the reality before him above all else. He was not one to pretend he was something he was not, he took matters with the gravity they deserved and the cause which he fought for before the hierarchy of the Imperium. The Khan fought for humanity and was uncompromising on that score. He wasn’t a compromising politician like Guilliman or besotted with the Emperor and his vision like say Russ, Sanguinius or Dorn. His ethos was unyielding when he served under the banner of Man, and he denied the treachery of Chaos with the same rigid sense of purpose.

[@johnhassell3256]

Spoiler warning for Path of Heaven Yesugei’s final messages always gets me. All three were poignant, but the mental imagery of a primarch in absolute, Biblical-style, mourning is just something else. The HH books have made me absolutely love the Scars. Everyone talks about the Salamanders and Vulkan’s humanity/compassion. But the Scar and the Khan lay it on the line for the teeming masses all the time. Whether it’s individual Scars, the Khan, or Szu, they all seem deeply real to me and they care about each other in a way I really haven’t seen in other legions. I listen to the audiobooks a lot at work and there have been so many times I’ve been walking around and they just hit me in the feels out of nowhere and I have to pull it together b/c how am I going to tell a coworker that I’m crying because of 40k?

[@AdriWan]

I think the return of Jagathai should be connected to the eldar, in particular through Cegorach's war on Slaanesh, so it would make sense for him to return with Fulgrim to 40k, so in either 10th or 11th edition, after a more popular loyalist primarch returns...

I think I finally understand what chaos really is in the context of 40k. Like chaos in it's normal state is like a pin ball going all haywire inside of the pin ball machine hitting and colliding with the walls and maze like obstructions inside of said machine making all kind of noises and a light show. It's entertaining and interesting to watch. Another analogy could be diffusion of potassium permanganate in water or bromine in air. On the molecular and atomic level in the case of bromine all the molecules and atoms are moving haphazardly and spontaneous in the fluid medium in order to take up space. Even Radioactive decay is a practical use of chaos due to definition of what half life is and how nuclear fission works. Now in 40k, chaos is just a bastardization of the very concept of chaos itself. It's like if a group of hooligans go into said bar just to destroy the pin ball machine, then beat as much people in the bar and if they fail summon some demons to slaughter the entire town for no reason. Then the imperium is a "solution" to chaos but it's akin to sawing of your arms after a jellyfish sting instead of applying anti venom to the wound or any proper medical treatment besides sawing going vrrrr.

[@reikowallach2465]

You're on to something. 'Chaos' in Warhammer is lifted from Michael Moorcock's fiction, the difference being that in Moorcock there's always Law to counterbalance Chaos, but never actually defeat it since they both need eachother in the end. Warhammer - being 'grimdark' - left the Law part out, but clearly there is a sort of 'Law shaped hole' in the lore, and it's natural that The Imperium is molded by that shape in some ways.

[@crimsonitacilunarnebula]

for me chaos like lae ke then living people in materium do bad stuff slaneesh comes in then bad things then khorne comes in etc etc emperor plan is breed more children more more more power live for the emperor maybe not die so early on so whos guide next generations then die then fight again jn tihe warp with emperor while they do decimate carnage and rip and tear oj n the level of doom slayer and make dormant state instead of waves and tides so basically violence is the o solution to chaos spawns kill and kill until none left but remember to do fast and agresive atleast faster than chaos spawn chaos spawns

I'm set to go on a long trip next month, so I got myself a new book and decided to make it Warhawk, the Siege of Terra book that focuses on Jaghatai. I found his establishing character moment fascinating: after he finds out the Dorn sent a bunch of men out on a suicide mission, Jaghatai is angry.... but not because they were sent on a suicide mission. He's specifically mad that they weren't told the truth about it BEING a suicide mission. Jaghatai was convinced that the force would still have gone if they knew the truth, and that as warriors, they at least deserved to know what they were fighting and dying for.

The Khans response to Fulgrim is amazing "you have some reputation as a swordsman brother, but I make no boast when I tell you I would leave you choking on it."

As a man who is attempting to design an alien race based off the Mongols, I can say with confidence I don't find the Mongolians uninteresting. "Knights are cooler than Mongolians" I hear you say? The medieval knights didn't carve out the second largest empire in history. (I don't hate knights, I love knights, I'm just saying.)

[@VictoryDragon]

I think an important point that many people forget, is that the Emperor has Alpha+ mind control abilities. It seems like after leaving the primarchs to their own devices to return to Terra, his influence over them and their troops gradually started to wane. It's clear that when he was around everyone worshipped him with out question. But in the years that followed, more and more people and primarchs increasingly doubted him and some were even like, "what was really so great about him, F-that guy." While being increasingly affected by Horus's warp boosted charisma and extra strong primarch aura. Horus's officers literally had trouble looking Horus in the eye because it was so strong. As in, Abbadon used to stare at his own feet while speaking to him. I suspect the Emp's mind control use was part of why some of the primarchs were more easily won over then others was simply because some of them were more resistant to his mind manipulation then others.

[@aguspuig6615]

for me the real underrated primarch is fulgrim, hes kinda like magnus as one of those traitor primarchs that can be easily imagined staying loyal and has very interesting traits. and potential but since he has long hair and cares about beauty hes just portrayed as a bimbo, hes probably the primarch taken less seriously by writters, being outright called stupid by narrators sometimes, and i see no one really get into it, i like the khan, but lets be honest, everyone and their mom has spoken about the khan as this underrated yet awsome dude, hes not really underrated anymore, its like that time where everyone spoke about black mirror or rick and morty like they were these super niche underrated series, when in fact they were just mainstream

[@fedupN]

Part of the issue he is overlooked is because the White Scars WERE shallow and only "Mongols in Space" for so long. There simply wasn't much ABOUT THEM. They were AT the Siege of Terra...and that was about it. Then came Chris Wraight. Scars and the Path of Heaven single handedly gave them character and elevated the Khan to his glorious status. It even took the meta narrative, them being forgotten, and turned into a plot point. They were the consummate outsiders by choice, following their own path. Seeing the Imperium as A path, but not THE path, and even being EMBARASSED that they (who practiced poetry, music, art and other cultural pursuits) were compared to Russ' dumbass puppies. They even mention the multiple nations the Khan had conquered...but not ELIMINATED. That was key. The Khan and his Legion never wanted to STAGNATE, always pushing on to the next horizon. Freaking cool. Annndd as Majorkill mentioned, fairly level headed. Even with warpcraft. Basically BE SUPER FREAKING CAUTIOUS WITH IT.

[@azertyqwerty8398]

Well the Laughing god fucks with Slaneesh every chance he gets, so it makes sense that he took away the one She Who Thirsts wanted as their Demon Primarch.

There's really not a lot of lore of him isn't it?
