EXPLANATION

The Primarchs were the genetically engineered sons of the Emperor created during the Great Crusade. After the Horus Heresy, many disappeared, died, or became corrupted by Chaos. Some traitor Primarchs ascended into Daemon Princes and continue to lead Chaos forces. In recent developments within the setting, a few loyalist Primarchs have returned to active leadership.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Primarchs are among the most powerful individuals in the Warhammer 40K universe. Their presence or absence significantly influences the balance of power between the Imperium and Chaos.
