good response on faith. Sometimes it's easy to forget how ignorant most of humanity is given how much 40k trivia many of us have stored up over the years. The better question might be, can the strength of faith overcome the strength of a statis field?

Sure this is all opinon, and there's no right one, it's just fun sharing. But having the primarchs return and not scoring a huge victory, bigger than anything since the HH, would be a huge waste of what's arguably the best fluff in 40k. (I do consider the primarchs more interesting that the Emperor, he's too perfect, their flaws make the primarchs intriguing). Think of how disappointing it would be if the Lion returned and fell back into statis or died without doing something so awesome that we all regret a little that we didn't game with the Dark Angels. And I absolutely believe GW would make a killing off that story arc and the game changes if they chose to do that as well. And I would love to see it, while I don't use IG and only play small scale SM, I'm still human and want to see humanity kick butt. But the problem is what happens AFTER the primarchs return, everything after it would be kind of anticlimactic. It's why I don't see them pulling that rabbit ouf the hat until they're close to winding down the franchise.

I've seen some great primarch/emperor figurines as well, wish I could model a quarter as well. But use of them is not part of any official rules. If that happened then GW would have to come up with equivalent characters for the other armies in the name of balance, and then fiction to support those characters. It's kinda hard to retcon things in something like a Phoenix Dragon Lord or Ork Gargantua War Bosses. After all they gotta keep the conflict rolling right?

In the future there is only and always will be war, otherwise they can't make money off of us ;) Shall we play Diplomacyhammer 40k?

I'm done with the primarch topic, there's already a waaay long one about them.
