Ferrus Manus got a haircut from his best bud Fulgrim but had a little to much off the top.

Just wait until you hear about Trazyn too.

did... did fulgrim cut his head off

slightly afraid to ask but who is trazyn

Fulgrim did cut off Ferrus head. He‘s sorry for it.

Trazyn the Infinite is a Necron (ancient space sceleton robot), he is a history-guy and collects things to put in his museum. Things like entire armies that he puts in big fancy dioramas. He has a rival/husband/ex-husband named Orikan, the two have been figthing since before the dionsaurs went extinct. There is a good book about them (The Infinite and the Divine). Also Trazyn has a whole museums-planet and I want to go there. Very notable in his collection is also the perfect Clone of Fulgrim Trazyn is great

oh and @wolf-tail by all means, yap about roboute, I am listening !! I am eager to learn… all I know about him is that he is Good at things and a blueberry

You're asking me about my babygirl? My sweet cheese? My darling boy?

*ahem*

Roboute Guilliman lucked out as a baby.

He landed on the world of Macragge, a prosperous and reasonably advanced world. Imagine Ancient Rome but they had, like, guns and computers.

He was found and adopted by Konor Guilliman, one of the planet's two consul leaders. He was raised by him and Konor's senechal, this badass lady named Tarasha Euten.

Roboute was created to be the administrative genius among the Primarchs, the logistics guy. His adoptive father died as a result of his co-consul trying to overthrow the government. The coup failed bc Roboute took charge and ended it.

Under his rule, the planet become prosperous than ever, and expanded into an empire of 500 worlds known as Ultramar.

That's about when the Emperor found him. He was also lucky enough that Tarasha was still alive, and he became the only Primarch to have a living mom during the Great Crusade.

He's special among his brothers because he's actually a fairly stable and well adjusted guy with common sense.

He's the "boring" nerd of the family, but is a genuinely capable warrior.

During the Heresy, he fucked up a little bit. Because the light of the Astronomican was no longer visible for a time period, Roboute freaked and assumed Daddy was dead. His response to this was to preserve the Imperium by creating the Imperium Secundus, centered around Ultramar. Despite putting Sanguinius in charge, even though he didn't really want to be an Emperor, this still looked like a really sleezy grab for power. And it was just a bad move because Dad was actually still alive. Roboute wasn't able to get to Terra in time, and is eaten up by guilt about it. He did inherent dad's magic flaming sword that kills Daemons tho.

Despite this, he still lost in a fight against Daemon Prince Fulgrim. He would have died, but was placed in a stasis field in the nick of time. His comatose body was a site for holy pilgrimages then for the next 10000 years. And then with intervention from this cool and ethically dubious techpriest named Belisarius Cawl, and divine intervention from the Aeldari god Ynnead, they were able to pull off a joint effort to wake him up. Everyone ships him with Yvraine, the Aeldari priestess of Ynnead who helped wake him up.

Anyway, he's alive now but really depressed about it, because not only is the Imperium a crumbling mess, its state religion is now worshipping his religion-hating dad, and by extension Roboute. The amount of bullshit he has to deal with on a daily basis is funny, and extra tragic because not all of its bullshit and he appears to actually be divine in some way. Dad is no help because he's just a mean corpse who revealed he never loved him.

I just want to give him a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

@robot-roadtrip-rants is more well-read on him than I am.
