Marshall Silverman- I wouldn't say that the 'Primarch Mom' talk had any basis as a "theory." It was more just a statement made in jest. Certainly, no one in the other thread was speculating upon the actual existence of a mother- it was all in good fun. I agree with your point that any kind of sex drive was probably completely pointless to their overall purpose and therefore probably totally absent from their psychological/physiological makeup. I'd wager Fulgrim probably developed one after Slaanesh sunk Her talons into him.

To Bokisok- You mentioned Saint Sabbat's love interest earlier in this thread, but couldn't recall his name... It was Trooper Brin Milo, who was just a young child when the Tanith First and Only escaped the destruction of their home world. As the unit's version of a regimental band, he came to represent the spirit of their unit and became a mascot of sorts for the Tanith troops. (Just wanted to help fill in the blanks, hope that helps, no offense intended!)

As Callum pointed out the Primarchs do all appear to be emotionally immature to a degree. I wonder though, if this isn't instead because the Emperor simply had no concept of emotion as normal humans know it and had simply not bothered to engineer natural emotional stability into their genetic makeup?
