    Probably, he was afraid that they would rebel against him because they thought he would replace them with the firstborn space marine legions? And now with the birth of Primaris, is the emperor going to slaughter all the firstborn space marines?

    The Thunder Warrior never sought to betray the Emperor despite their nature. A handful of them actually survived and lived in the criminal underworld as crime boss or as pit gladiators. When the Heresy reached Terra, some of them even fought to defend the Throne World. There's even a story of a Thunder Warrior helping the Custodes fight his possessed brother, when all was done he was given an honorable execution by the Custodes.

    ‘Is it dead?’ I asked, sunk to my knees and leaning heavily on the pommel of my sword. The Custodian looked at me and I felt the weighing of judgement in his wary gaze. At length, he nodded. ‘In a manner of speaking, yes. You have my thanks…’ ‘Heruk,’ I said, recognising the pause as an invitation, ‘Dahren Heruk.’ ‘Thunder Legion?’ It was my turn to nod. ‘I thought your kind were all dead.’ ‘We are. Near enough.’ ‘Tagiomalchian. I am in your debt, Dahren Heruk. Terra is in your debt.’ ‘Then I have one favour to ask of you,’ I said, raising my hand to stop Tagiomalchian from sheathing his sword. He looked at me, that impassive mask as unreadable as a statue, but then I saw the slightest nod. As the grip of mortality closed about me, I felt the dream. Smell and taste at first, but then I began to hear the cheers of victory as the Lightning Banner was lifted into the sky. I stood upon the slopes of Mount Ararat, Kabe and Gairok and Vezulah at my side. Reality grew fleeting though I heard the soft clank of Tagiomalchian’s armour as he came to stand behind me, and the scrape of his blade as he brought it aloft. ‘Give me the honoured death,’ I said, and the cheers rose louder. Unity! Unity! Unity! I closed my eyes as tears of joy flowed down my face, and whispered. ‘For Unity…’ And heard the blade fall. // Heralds of the siege; Dreams of unity - P: 401-402

    There are stories of some Thunder warriors still running around, some still fight for the Emperor, some against. some even seeking out Custodes looking for a warriors death only they could give them ( considering a custodes is about the only thing mankind has that could 1v1 a thunder warrior). It's a shame the Emperor thought to just kill them and waste them, rather than have them join in the great crusade as shock troops and just let them die fighting. but maybe he figured they would be too susceptible to warp corruption and warp fuckery and figured having to deal with some of the deadliest warriors mankind has ever created would throw a massive wrench in his time-table of galactic conquest

He had no bolter and his power armor is old but he was so strong that even with his spine severed and heart pierce that would instantly kill a space marine, he still manages to live on for few more minutes before finally dying.

They are each a work of art, never to be repeated. The Thunder Warriors were adults given crude surgeries and steroids at a mass-production scale of around a hundred a year. The Astartes are mass production, but they took time with them where you get one Astartes company every one-hundred years.

For reference, a single Thunder Warrior, who wasn't even trying, killed almost ten Astartes on his own before he gave up and let them kill him, and he was actively dying. One hundred to a thousand Thunder Warriors could kill close to ten thousand Astartes. These Astartes were War Hounds, AKA World Eaters. The only ones who could kill them were the Custodes because they were equals to the Thunder-Warriors in many aspects. Fun Fact: The Thunder Warriors were so loyal to the Emperor and his dream that those who survived the battle of Mount Ararat picked up their old armour and bolters and fought alongside the Astartes during the siege of Terra against Horus. They are the ONLY ones that the Custodes respected. The Custodes never liked the Primarchs or the Astartes but respected the ever-loving shit out of the Thunder Warriors and gave them a warriors death when it finally came time to purge them.

    I believe the thunder warriors were killed off for 2 reasons: 1) no purpose to fight anymore. Because the techno hoards were defeated and Tera united, they truly did outlive their purpose 2) Prevent the spread of chaos. Because they outlived their use and had no purpose, the thunder warriors were probably more susceptible to the influence of chaos. This would create more infighting and the Emperor took preemptive measures to avoid this from happening, which would prevent Tera from becoming this war torn planet again

    Regarding susceptibility to the influence of Chaos, lore suggests they were practically untouchable. Psykers would experience severe pain trying to use their powers on them and exposure to warp powers in general would send them into a killing frenzy. I guess that was a feature rather than a bug, considering that they were intended to fight among other things the psykers and daemon worshipers that Terra was infested with during the Unification Wars. I don't see how Chaos would have much success dealing with that.

    There was a few Thunder Warriors that fought with original World Eaters Legion during the first years of Great Crusade. They organised a rebellion on penal mining station and Astartes were sent to pacify them. They managed with serious losses to take down the rebellion and kill Thunder Warriors to the last.

    Most of my brothers had no reason to live on after the Unification Wars, and gladly chose to die in honourable combat during the last battles in what is now modern-day France, by that time the original nr of the Thunder-Warriors that had been 20.000 at the very least had widdled down to only 5.000, the battle itself claimed more then the Custodes this much I can assure because even wounded a Thunder Warrior is a match of any of the Companions, but be that as it may the madness that would plague many during the last days of their lives would welcome our true brothers, the Custodes blades as means of liberty, ending our long drawn out duty, thus fulfilling our oath of a united Terra,

    Small note, some of the sources say that they all got killed to a man, but there's some others that mention that, some of them where outside of Terra during the purge, and even survived till after the space marines where made, there's a story of a group of Imperial Fists, that where tasked with hunting down a renegade target, but where not told who it was, when they found him, the "target" killed all but the sergeant, who took him down basically because he was both already injured and basically tired of killing the Emperor's toy soldiers, turns out, it was a Thunder Warrior, and he plowed to about 10 Astartes without even breaking a sweat, or having any real weapons either, scary bastards is what they are.

    There is also a theory that the ThunderWarriors were used with more warpstuff than Space marines to make them more powerful what made them dangerous to use against psychers and warp entities. Like, they were once sent to fight with a warp rift close by, and their bodies instead of resisting the warp energies around like a regular human body would, they were absorbing the warp energies up like massive sponges, what pretty much made them even bigger, stronger, faster, and insane. Yeah, next time Emp decided to put more tech and less magic into Space marines, and that can be why they are smaller.

They believe that if the emperor can Just throw away people even ones as loyal as the thunder warriors. Their position within the imperium never once permanent that they can be replaced to.
