    I doubt it on that scale.

    The Imperium itself is huge and there's no way a Primach can be everywhere at once.

    Plus the Emperor never intended for any of the Primachs to actually rule/govern the Imperium itself. That was one of the reasons Horus betrayed was because he and the others felt left out as the power was given to the High Lords of Terra.

    In any case the return of any of the Primachs would give the Imperium a major morale boost and give it a better fighting chance against the gazillion threats besieging it but don't forget that at the same time you could also bring in the Daemon Primachs to balance things out anyways.

    They destroyed all the Tyranids on the planet, and while there is still Bio Ships in orbit the warzone has been pushed into what the Orks would consider a victory. Before Ghazghkull arrived the Orks were on the verge of defeat, but now it has become an endless battle. This is exactly what Ghazghkull is aiming for. He did to Octarius as he did to Armageddon. His victory is an endless war across the whole galaxy. Besides after the "victory" Ghazghkull leaves to find a new place to create this endless conflict again.
    Ok that makes sense so it's essentially another Armageddon where the Tyranids are locked in an endless war with the Orks......is it a good thing or a bad thing? Cause that would mean that tendril will never move past Octarius and the number of Orks charging into the fray will be focused on that instead.

    The Primarchs would likely have been given seats of power following the end of the Great Crusade, just not in the way they wanted (Think Ultramar). Still they would have been busy conquering the webway.

    An endless war in the whole galaxy is his aim, so in the short term its fine for the Imperium, but will still have long term problems for them.

    Its not clear why the Wulfen are emerging now. Russ at least isn't with those coming out of the warp rifts yet. That is what's causing the problems for the Space Wolves, as even they don't know why its happening (The Wolf Lords are divided on whether they should save the Wulfen or get rid of them).

    We don't know exactly what the Emperor intended for the Primarchs but there has been many things alluding to what he intended in the HH novels; Perturabo effectively an architect that would build wonders, Magnus would pretty much be King of the webway, Guliman would have ruled his 500 worlds, Vulkan was the most human and implied he would be some kind of protector of humanity, people like the iron hands would of been techies.. There are of course some that probably wouldn't of been able to stick around but equally others would have been required in an empire spanning millions of worlds to be a police force.

    Horus was pretty stupid and shortsighted for thinking there was nothing beyond the crusade. The Web way needed sorting and hell there most likely would of been a war in the warp ala what Emps and Horus did via that portal on Molech. Not to mention Emps was almost certainly aware of the Necrons.

    well they say it could be a bad thing because whatever comes out on top is gonna be either a Super Ork the like of which hasn't been seen since the Emperor knocked off that big chap back in the Crusade, or alternatively ur gonna see a super adapted nightmare of a sub-race of Tyranids.

    No, he couldn't (unless he is Alpharius, Magnus, Angron or Red Thirst Sanguinius at any rate). Let's not forget that Commorragh is huge and even the shadows can kill you in there. The Khan is out of his element.

    Yeah but the DE rely entirely on hit and run, and you can't really do that on such a tight cluster like that. Admittedly he might die but he is NOT going to be captured. DE around him have a life expectancy of like, two seconds, and if he gets his hands on a jetbike, he becomes pretty much unstoppable.

    They seemed to do just fine when 100 Salamanders invaded Comorragh and managerd to push them out due to sheer numbers. While Khan is stronger than 100 salamanders combined he is just one man, and de weapons are designed to incapacitate.

    But he's a Primarch! He's better than a whole chapter of Space Marines (at least a codex astartes chapter anyway) and Primarchs have shown to be basically immune to poisons and such; Horus shrugged off an attack by a Venemum assassin just like that.

    I've just read Curse of the Wulfen and you really really don't want to know.


    Please GW treat it like the irish leper's books and make it non-canon. Please.

    Well apparently the Wulfen is the best assault unit in the game now so I hope they dont get exsterminatus'ed. 5 Wulfen with stormshields will reliably beat any other unit within the same price range (200-300p) in the game. Including Paladins, Hive Tyrant, Abbadon, Assault Termies, Bloodletters etc.

    That's what you get when each get 4 s10 attacks on the charge with 3+ inv. and 5+ fnp. And if they get killed, they strike back for free before they die so initiative is irrelevant (Which is why you go for the hammers). Basically they are super-paladins. Oh and they can run and charge, reroll charges, and buff other units in the army. And they are 5 points more than regular termies with stormshields and hammer.

    Yay a faction I like actually got some cheese for once.
