the first thread is so huge that for me the editor's taking about 10 minutes to load (literally)! so if anyone else is having trouble here's the sequel :)

regarding the primarch's having suitable role models as they matured to become loyal and well balanced people, what about lion el'jonson?

he spent his first 10 years alone in the wilderness of a death world which was filled with chaos influenced beasts, and yet he grew to be a stable and loyal personality. this may have a connection with dark angels having the purest gene-seed. maybe their progenitor's gene-seed's purity makes him the most genetically and psychologically stable primarch?

regarding the primarchs' possible reincarnation, an interesting idea, but i personally don't think they could (or should) have that ability. remember the emperor is the reincarnated collective psyche of people who specialised in reincarnation so he could in turn reincarnate (possibly the best argument for his return after he dies). the primarchs have never reincarnated so that particular knowledge would have to be taught to them and given how distant daddy was i doubt a single primarch even knew about his origins.
