Reading the lore there are some things i'd like to understand.

1) Thunder Warriors were superior in pure fighting compared to Astartes, yet the tale says they all died during the last battle on Mount Ararat: what they supposed to face to make the story believable? (Just: "killed by a man"  sounds very hasty...)

2) (true) Rumors says TW were evetually wiped out by the Emperor. What did he use? His presonal body guards (most supposed theory) or psychic energy or...?

3) TW were supposed to have very short life spawn. Why the need to kill em all so quickly? Why many survived anonimously for long time despite the genetical flaw?

3a) In the modern times, even things completely "out of control" are still used effectively (Death Company). It is possible that remaining Thunder Warrior had absolutely no use at all like cleaning sacks of rebels, put them in stasis for further uses or something like that?

4) Even if their numers was not so big as the 18 legions, it is possible that slaughtering so many fierce and loyal warriors and send their angry souls in the warp had no conseguences at all? Were the Ruinous Powers pleased by that action?

What are your opinions? Do u have pieces of info about it more than this Wiki? I would like to know more...
