Hell the Emperor may not have told either of them they just figured it out on their own given the presence of Chaos on their homeworlds. It's also interesting to not note that Caliban and Prospero were the two homeworlds that were more or less destroyed.

We see Perturabo's first meeting with the Emperor at the end of his Primarch book. Perturabo is overjoyed and happy about meeting and getting praised by The Emperor, but The Emperor has a moment of sadness, almost as if he knew, that the hardship of beeing The Emperor's great Hammer would break or hurt Perturabo.

I'm going to suggest you Google the Tarot Arcana of Primarchs. It associates each Primarch(including the missing ones) with one of the Major Arcana, and gives an insight into their relationships with one another. In theory, it's all hypothetical, but the predictions made by the Tarot line up pretty well with the interactions we've seen in the lore.

I feel that the Emperor in all his wisdom should have spent one on one time with each of his sons and told them about chaos. So much could have been avoided from that alone. Simply say something like "Listen my sons, There is a great danger that you all must be aware of and by all means avoid at any and all costs. For the cost of allowing them to consume you would be too great and terrible to imagine. I speak of Chaos, and yes there are Gods Lorgar but they are evil and will use you for their own means alone this is why I don't want you to worship me as a God, but to strive for the ultimate goal I have given each of you to fulfill. I Love all of you, My beloved sons in whom I am well pleased. Now go forth and continue this crusade in the knowledge that I am truly proud of you my sons."

To be fair, Malcador kind of addressed this when he was asked about it by Dorn and Sanguinius. To paraphrase, he essentially said that the Primarchs would mobilize against Chaos as if it were a material threat if they knew about it, or they would seek to understand or use it, all of which would have turned out badly (mainly because of how Tzeentch works). Being aware of how the Warp works, the Emperor probably figured it would be best not to acknowledge the Dark Gods at all, in order to not feed them. To deny them by replacing them with belief in human ascendancy and reason. Given that the gods reward their followers with eternal life through daemonhood when they commit horrific atrocities in their name, and given the miserable and desperate state of most humans in the galaxy, it makes sense that the Emperor did not want people to know about Chaos. I grant your point on how the Emperor should have had a closer relationship with His sons. But again, to be fair, He lost the chance to be a father when the Dark Gods stole the Primarchs in their infancy. They each grew up with vastly disparate cultures on different planets, and as such, had differing and often conflicting worldviews. Many of them had adopted parents of their own. The Emperor was in a tough position balancing the needs and emotions and duties of His sons from the moment He had to start searching for them.

I think the problem with Angron is that beyond just the Butcher's Nails, he spent his entire life before his location was discovered by the Emperor as a slave. The property of someone else, robbed of the freedom to make his own choices. His rebellion and inevitable death at the hands of his enslavers was all part of the first true choice he had ever been able to make. And when the Emperor then saves his life, whether out of a callous need for a primarch to lead the XIIth Legion or out of a genuine desire to save someone he viewed as a son, he took away the one and only thing Angron desired in life. Agency. Angron didn't want to die out of a simple deathwish. If that was the case, he would have found a way to end his life in capitivity. He wanted to die the way he decided for himself. And he couldn't even have that.

Man. The Guilliman one is so wholesome. Even if we're being serious here, I honestly believe that out of all his sons, he was most proud of Roboute Guilliman. Granted he did not loved him like Sanguinius, but damn is he proud of him, and I can see him bragging to Malcador and the Custodians over just how accomplished Guilliman is. True he will not say it to his face, but I think the reason why he won't say it is because the Emperor doesn't really know how to express his emotions, and possibly because it would really piss off Horus and Lion, who are already madly jealous of Guilliman. Heck, Guilliman is so accomplished, he even got an Eldar waifu. How's that for being a chad. And that bit with the Lion, I don't know about you, but every eldest son has that one secret shame. Probably a xeno waifu, some secret fetish for traps, possibility of some of his bros have turned traitor, who knows...

Part of me wonders if the Emperor actually didn't like Sanguinius. Sanga is always spoken about in high regards. However it is from the point of view from outsiders. He gets along with more of his brothers than most. The people see him as the guardian angel. However these are not the feelings of the emperor. While many of us talk about how awesome Sanguinius is, which he kinda is imo. That doesn't mean the Emperor would agree. 1) Sanguinius does not help the Emperor's striving goal for a nonsecular humanity. To many see Sanguinius as a literal angel, which would make his father a god. 2) Sanguinius is clearly subfused to the warp in ways comparable only to his Daemonic brothers. He has the physical mutation of wings, the mental mutation of an unnatural and volatile rage, and a psychic abnormality in foresight. Sure the Primarchs are more than normal humans, but Sanguinius clearly pushes the envelope past what the Emperor had invisioned of his sons. 3) Despite his prowess in battle, his diplomatic nature, and the respect he carried the Emperor chose Horus over him. I even think that it wasn't much of a toss up either. Sure other Primarchs and us outsiders can see the qualifications Sanguinius had. However no amount of our belief in his ability actually has bearing on the Emperor's decision. No that is not to say they had a bad relationship, infact as far as Sanguinius is concerned, he probably thought they had quite a good one. However the Emperor was a secretive man, and even Malcador, his closest confidant, didn't know everything. So I personally think the Emperor may have in secret disliked the Angel.

It calls my attention that almost all loyalist primarchs had their brief childhoods surrounded by people (or a wolf mother) that care for them, some even had actual adoptive fathers and that is probably what made them more secure about themselves and their rol in life. In "Deliverance Lost" Corax makes this reflection about how him might had turned like the Nigth Hunter had not been raised by people that showed him compasion. Wich is an interesting point because almost all* of the traitor primarchs had shitty childhoods that messed them up , while Lorgar did had an adoptive father but the guy brainwashed and used him. With all the "GRIM DARKNESS" of 40K at least the Horus Heresy series has some really strong emotional stuff and a relevant message about the importance of family.

Look at Bobby G. He had a decent family (king Konor Guilliman as adoptive father and seneschal Tarasha Euten as adoptive mother). It has provided him with enough stability, that even witnessing the incredibly sorry state of the Imperium and getting completely disillusioned with how Emperor was seeing Primarchs wasn't enough to make him wash his hands and decide to abandon all hope in recovering the Imperium.

The Emperor went out of his way to save Mortarion and Angron upon first finding them. Both because they were about to do something foolish and be killed but like he said to Mortarion: you are my son I couldn't let you die. We know the Emperor didn't have good relationships with either Angron or Mortarion but the thought of them dying didn't sit well with him. So imagine how he'd feel if he lost one of the sons he did have a good relationship with. So of course knowing Sanguinius was going to die saddened him but it also lends credit to him doing everything he could to save Sanguinius. What we need is clear lore about whether Sanguinius was dead or dying when the Emperor arrived.

We all know the Emperor’s favorite were the 2, lost and purged Primarchs. That’s why he has hard relationship with his other sons. Because the failure ( or success ) of the other 2. One could be out there right now going past our galaxy to see what is out there.

I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been any lore between Sanguinius and the Emperor. Hell we even have lore with Jaghatai so we know that they at least respected each other.

Konrad Curze's vision of his Father and his perspective on their relationship are detailed in "Night Lord". Definitly one of the best and with no doubt one of the darkest Black Librairy books.

Just finished “Legion” amazing book, made me think the alpha legion are now probably my favourite legion, I wish there was more about them but that would probably ruin the whole mystic of the alpha legion! Would love a book with alpharius omegon meeting the emperor. I think they’re still working on trying to achieve the emperors goals, even in m41! Disappointed with Fulgrim being retconned and actually voluntarily turning to chaos, the end of Fulgrim was honestly hard hitting, knowing he made a mistake and had to watch that and pay for that one mistake for the rest of his life. Felt wasted and cheapened by what happens later!

Disagree... Fulgrim had agency and choice,... Angron had NO choice... not when he was a slave, not when he was leading the World Eaters, and definitely not when became a Primarch, Angron was always a slave, and what’s more tragic was that his “gift” from the Emperor was he could absorb and the emotional pain from others.. he had The Emperor’s gift of brotherhood; and even that gift was twisted so that he repelled his own sons. Angrons story is pure tragedy, Fulgrim just a pompous fool...

Recently found your channel and I’ve been absolutely loving it! I just started reading The Solar War this morning and it occured to me that I’d really appreciate a Primarch roll call for the battle on Terra, like where each of them was and what they were doing and why at the moment that Big E was putting the smack down on Whorus.

Love all your videos! Thank you xx

As someone who has had problems interacting and understanding people's desires before, I can say that a regular person with just a little bit too much self steem can forget about others' emotional needs or their peculiarities when interacting with them, simply by assuming they are on the same page. The Emperor is an almost divine being during the Crusade, he's lived for as long as civilization, he's met countless people during his life, it's no wonder he assumed his sons would be similar to him in regards to their stoicism when it comes to personal relations. In real life this might lead to arguments and fall outs, imagine if it involved immortal beings with power and authority over entire worlds.

You make some good points my friend, very good video. Keep up the great work brother.

Can you cover Mortarion moments, with his sons in the Buried Dagger, especially when he decided to personally end one of his sons suffering. And can you also do his early years on Barbarus, all of it was awesome and showed why he became what he was during the Great Crusade and Heresy.

You made a clear point of the spoilers, but did not give much away to make people avoid the books. thumbs up! Continue the good work.

Nah, dude, you hit the nail right on the head with Angron. I'm pretty sure the Emperor only picked up Angron so he'd have the full set, since Primarchs are only worth collecting if you manage to get them all. In all seriousness, there really isn't any reason the Emperor shouldn't have sent the War Hounds to aid Angron in the last battle. Nuceria was described as a backwater world, so having Angron and his army kill the people that were keeping the masses oppressed would have served multiple purposes. First, it would have endeared Angron to both his sons and the Emperor, for their assistance in the fight. Second, it would have gotten rid of some (almost certainly Chaos corrupted) nobles and opened vacancies in the planet's government in which the Emperor could put people he trusted. Third, it would have shown the people of the planet exactly what they could expect if they ever tried to leave the Imperium. If the Emperor had helped Angron instead of just snatching him from his army and running away, he would have turned one of his biggest adversaries into his staunchest supporter. All it would've taken was saying "If these people are your family, then allow your sons to join their ranks."

What an inspiring video. Love it.

Great long vid Rho. Fully enjoyed during my dog walk.

Another great one! The novel betrayer has a lot of great POV of angron and lorgar which bears checking out

I truly enjoyed that!

You may not have read the Lion's primarch book yet, but he has a very trusted and easy relationship with his father. He asked his father what his direction for him was for the Great Crusade, and the Emperor just tells him to do what he thinks is right. In the book, the Lion is described as the final solution of the Emperor while Russ (while being COMPLETELY TRUSTED by the Emperor) was the threat of sanction. The new Lion novel really goes a long way to show us how there is little doubt that the Lion and the Wolf were two of the few that the Emperor truly knew would never turn.

In 'Angel Exterminatus' Perturabo flashes back to a conversation with the Emperor and it's genuinely heartwarming. It actually feels like an estranged father and son meeting & having a proper heart to heart. It was pretty surprising.

I totally agree with you on Angron. After Curze he's the one Primarch who really got shortchanged by the Heresy series. Even the best-written appearance of his character (After Deshea) is more about Kharn being awesome than about Angron. It's a bit sad really...

That is going to be fun

In The Lion’s primarch novel it’s shown that the emperor and The Lion got along extremely well, with The Lion knowing that he could hold no secrets from the emperor and not having a shred of resentment because of it. He was also under no illusions that the emperor meant to be a father to him, but more a master and his prized weapon.

Oh this will be a fun one.

Gah my friend, you have got to red Betrayer! Or better yet listen to it! I'll send ya a voucher for it too. It's so good and has one of the most human moments Angron ever has!

As far as I'm concerned TTS is canon and Dorn is wandering around the palace dressed like an Imperial Fist in silence.

Did Vulcan see/meet with the Emperor during the War of the Beast? It would be interesting to see what kind of reception he got there.

Alpharius’ “death” wasn’t confirmed, it was said to happen by an author that is a clear Dorn fanboy. That’s like if I write for Black Library and said Dorn died crying in a corner as Berserkers tear him apart, would Dorn fans accept it? Hell no, and they’d have every right to want that story gone.

The Emperor: Dont you talk bad about my hawk boi!

With how the Primarch novel series is going, the only ones that haven't been singularly published in the style of the others is Horus, Sanguinius, Rogal Dorn, Mortarion and Alpharius/Omegon. All of these sound like they could make for really promising stories, and maybe show more Emperor and Primarch interactions. Seeing Big E interact with Sanguinius, Mortarion and Alpharius more would be super interesting.

Fascinating to see a pathos-filled discussion of what Konrad Curze could have been, given he was one of the most violent, and certainly the cruelest, of the Primarchs.

i think we got some new interactions between the emperor and the lion in the book Lion lord of the first, that basically confirm what you said here =)

Once again, after being at the restaurant another long day, this is the only thing to take my head away from it all

When you mentioned Dorn you forgot his Mustaches. By the Emperor those were glorious. I hope they return with him commanding chapter of their own.....

I'm pressing [X] to doubt whenever anyone says the Emperor held any form of love for his children, they where simply his Magnum Opus when it came to tools of warfare, but at the end of the day they were still tools to him, just as like he was able to set aside his Thunder Warriors there's no doubt to me that he would eventually do the same to the Astartes and then their Genefathers would soon follow.

In the book Angel Exterminatus there is a great scene with Perturabo talking with the Emperor just before he leaves for the great crusade. If you haven't read the book I highly recommend it. It covers Fulgrim becoming a daemon prince and the fight between Lucius and Sharrowkyn.

I can not WAIT for Leman Russ to come back in the current lore. What will he look like? what will his temperament be? His reunion with Bjorn the Fell Handed and Reboute!! How will he deal with the Inquisition? Because as we have seen thus far the Space Wolves are not scared to cut off Lord Inquisitors heads haha Crazy times ahead …. THE WOLF TIME!!!

Big E: "there are gods in this universe Rogal, evil gods" Dorn: "ok" **proceeded to go about his day with no change whatsoever.** Big E: "Damn it Rogal, that is the best reaction I have ever seen"

Magnus: "Father.....MY FATHER. THE CORPSE EMPEROR!?" Big-E: "Hello there. Son"

I think when you become a father (having a son) of your own, all of this becomes.., a little more personal. At least for me, though listening to your voice and some other fantastic 40k “tubers”, y’all get it to. Great job “by the way” please, please, please... keep it up😎 Be Well.

I think the Emperor created his sons to be tools, without relationship. I feel he believed he was above emotion of a familial nature at that time, as humans tend to overestimate themselves when not faced with anything to say otherwise. I think he developed feelings for them upon meeting them, as a father does to a newborn. I think his years on the throne have turned him into the cold pseudo god he believed himself to be at the time of the Primarchs inception. After all, he is human, and humans change

What if each warp storm represents the birth of each chaos god, and the great rift represents the Emperor awakening???

I agree with your viewpoints. Ill just say that multiple realities exist, so the primarchs were beloved sons. They were also tools. So many instances of us getting hints of this. My fav being Typhon seeing the Emperor on Barbarus. I beliebe they call it the Warp because it involves the mind and warped perspective. Guilliman is troubled bc he sees only part of the truth.

This was really well done, I sadly haven't read nearly as many books as I should have. But I do love hearing about these sort of relationships and how the emperor treated his children. I do kind of feel like it was really out of character for the emperor not to step in and try to save Angron's slave brothers and sisters. It kind of feels a little forced, trying to give him a reason to hate his father despite it being out of character for the emperor. I haven't read it for myself, so I might be missing something... But it just kind of seems really out of place for someone who cared that much about his children. He did so much for the others and he seemed to just spit in Angron's face.

As a child of divorce with an estranged relationship with thy father, I have come to know the power of INDIFFERENCE. Though deep down I love thy father. I relate more with Lion and Khan.

Can you do a perpetuals video.. there's a lot of information that I would like that I think I may have missed, and I would love for you to teach me some things I didn't know
