One thought I had is that this primarch could be behind the Etherials & the Tau. Emps was actually willing to make peace with some benign Xenos at first. This did eventually stop because, well, every aliens species turned out to be nasty as hell, but that can't be it. Then again maybe the change in policy was what caused the argument...
