winter pine
#

Seems kind of lose / lose with him

opaque coyote
#

LORGAR probably wouldn't.

I mean, he was a dick, but also like

#

The Emperor didn't help

#

At all

#

Like if I put it in terms

#

Imagine if you show your Dad a painting.

#

You worked hours on it. It's beautiful and glistening

#

Your dad is mad because you didn't paint it fast enough

#

Also it has religious imagery and he hates that

#

So then he has one of your brothers smash the painting and burn it

winter pine
#

Emperor's problem with Lorgar was less him and more not chopping the head off Kor Phaeron and Erebus

opaque coyote
#

Also that

#

Especially Erebus

#

Lorgar might be a question mark tbh

winter pine
#

I'm glad to see people appreciate a villain who was evil purely because he's an unrepentant bastard like Erebus

#

We got too many "well maybe he's got a point" antagonists, Erebus is purely evil for the love of the game

opaque coyote
#

To be honest, the problem I have with Erebus is that he just doesn't have enough to make him enjoyable to hate for me.

#

He kinda just feels like a plot device

raven stone
#

We do need SOME “evil by nature” villains in any media.

opaque coyote
#

Like evil by nature villains are fun due to them loving one thing...

#

(Ignore how I put one of the most non-"evil by nature" villains here)

valid needle
#

Nah he would have

opaque coyote
#

But you get the point

winter pine
#

I forget the exact book or short story but Erebus admitted he started with literal serial killer stuff by pulling the legs off scorpions

raven stone
#

Also I always find it funny how those “maybe Chaos has a point” people are only doing it because they compare Chaos against Imperium of Mankind.
Like…surely suffering under a fascist regime is still better than losing your sanity as well as the ability to love and care!?

valid needle
#

Angron would have always turned, simply for the fact him and his friends were enslaved and he was subjected to the nails on an imperial world under the emperors control. Nothing big e could do would make up for that.

opaque coyote
#

Slaanesh and Nurgle, nah you wouldn't lose that part

#

Khorne and Tzeentch, most definitely

opaque coyote
#

Until he arrived

valid needle
opaque coyote
#

I don't think that's the case? I think it was put under compliance after Angron was sucked up

winter pine
#

I thought Nuceria's compliance was right when The Emperor arrived

#

iirc he negotiated with The High Riders

opaque coyote
#

Ah

#

I mean if the Emperor saved his friends and bombed the planet instead

#

That would've gotten him under Angron's good graces

valid needle
#

I must be wrong then I thought it was under compliance before the emperor found out he was there

winter pine
#

Big E Money is exactly the same as the Highriders, it wouldn't have worked for Angron

opaque coyote
#

Although it was on the fringes

#

Like the type of planet that would be on the bottom of the list

#

Type of shit

winter pine
#

Very telling that out of all the primarch planets, even the Death Guard have nicer things to say about Barbarus than anyone does about Nuceria

valid needle
#

Luv me toxic wasteland

opaque coyote
raven stone
#

Nuceria sucks balls, period.
Both in universe and the narrative for it lol.
It’s just so…sad

opaque coyote
#

And their planets are objectively awful

#

Awful shitholes

#

Like "the only thing that can be worse is Catachan"

#

I personally think if Angron wasn't nailed. He would've been similar to Khan in his stance

#

That being

#

"The Imperium sucks ass, but I am not siding with the literal daemons."

raven stone
#

Or Corax for that matter

opaque coyote
#

I can easily imagine him just fucking off after the battle

raven stone
#

Corax also recognises the paradox that he is a resistance fighter…who joined a dictatorial Emperor.

opaque coyote
#

Like he doesn't even disappear due to going after some artifact or something

#

I think Angron would've just straight up left

raven stone
#

Corax, Khan and NoNails!Angron could have hit it off on their own thing.

#

opaque coyote
#

And did what Guilliman wishes he could fucking do

raven stone
#

Actually imagine a Three way split

opaque coyote
winter pine
#

I'm kind of partial to the theory Khan just faked being lost in the webway and is AWOL somewhere

opaque coyote
#

I would call each side

#

"Traitors"

"Renegades"

"Loyalists"

winter pine
#

Knew the whole dream was dead after the Siege and went off to do his own thing

raven stone
#

Emperor loyalists
Chaos Traitors
And Khan/Corax/NoNails!Angron just saying “fuck you both”

opaque coyote

Commoragh

Seems like he'd know the Emperor's dream was dead by the end of the siege

opaque coyote
#

He's lime

#

"Uh Uhhh"

#

Alpha Legion is cool

winter pine
opaque coyote
#

I just wish that ironically enough, there was slightly less secrecy

winter pine
#

Many such cases in real life

opaque coyote
#

Or complicated bullshit

#

Although I have had the entertaining idea of an alpha Legionnare having a complicated plan

#

Only to not like it, or it not working, and be like

#

"Fuck it, let's start shooting"

winter pine
#

I liked Mike Brook's Harrowmaster leaning on that

opaque coyote
#

And we're never told what the original unfinished plan was before they start...

Improvising

raven stone
# opaque coyote "Fuck it, let's start shooting"

You don’t even need to do that loop.
An Alpha Legionnaire would know their legion’s reputation.
So, by his calculation, the last thing the enemy would expect him to do, is…just start shooting.

winter pine
#

Solomon being like "guys all the people who know Alpharius' plan are either dead or MIA, let's do our own thing"

raven stone
opaque coyote
winter pine
#

Need to sit down and read his Ork books sometime

raven stone
#

But oddly enough we will never tire of Word Bearers being Sunday morning cartoon evil bastards

#

Which…TBF, it’s more a behaviour and less a meme.

winter pine
#

There is something fun about Word Bearers just being unrepentantly evil lmao

opaque coyote
#

Imagine you finally get to see the inner workings of the universe

#

...

#

And then it turns out that heaven doesn't exist

#

There is only hell

#

There are two responses

#

A) Fight anyways. Rage against the dying of the light and all that

#

B) "fuck it, being a Daemon sounds fun"

#

Word Bearers chose B

winter pine
#

surely the eclessiarchy wouldn't like to me about the emperor when I die right

#

right???

gleaming patrol

What’s the status on grey knight and black Templar?

gleaming patrol

#

That community in question probably has choice words on femcustodes too, I wouldn't take outrage farmers seriously

gleaming patrol
#

I didn’t pick on femcustodus topic

#

So I won’t know what’s their update

#

I’m interest what happen to Grey and Templar

surreal nest
#

I genuinely dont know what you're asking so hopefully someone else takes up the mantle

gleaming patrol
#

What I means like I remember last time community memeing grey knight storm inside emperor palace and up against custodus

#

Because they want put emperor who got revived back to the throne

unique bronze
#

Greyknights vs the Custodes you mean?

#

Something about recent reveal what the Terminus Decree was, hence the whole meme about Grey Knights storming the golden throne

#

I liked it better when it was an actual unknown order

opaque coyote
unique bronze
#

That too mayhaps

#

Tho I liked the theory before that it was an order to just off the Emperor to force him to reincarnate to be a more fully abled being

#

rather than a vegetable on the throne etc

#

But it was only supposed to be a last ditch effort

Borderlands is cooking

#

They showed off the new vault hunter today

celest dome
#

What is it's theme ?

#

Hunter or something like that?

jade holly
#

He was a dealerbot in a casino

celest dome
#

So crit fishing or money to damage things

crystal forum
nocturne crest
#

Yes, sadly. BL4 is currently pretty popular until BL6 comes out

crystal forum
#

i completely dissociated from the series when 3 came out

#

borderlands is just one of those franchises that only has 1 masterpiece that the entire brand relies on

nocturne crest
#

I think it's been out a few weeks now, because they had the CEO come out and say BL4 can't be ran on poor people's PC or something like that.

celest dome
#

BL3 had good enough gameplay

#

The writing/VA wasn't great

crystal forum
#

it's just very forgettable

celest dome
#

But I hardly play those game for it anyway

#

Bl2 is well remembered for, but I honestly found the bad guy from it just as annoying to listen to

crystal forum
#

2's gameplay is also simply the best

#

it's an incredibly good game

celest dome
#

Eh, depend, the only thing for 4 (don't have it yet) that I somewhat dislike is Harlowe.
Usually there are 2 or even 3 characters that I don't mesh with, Bl3 had every character pique my interest

#

Honestly was most interested in Harlowe when we had her visual, but did not know anything

#

And each subsequent reveal just led to me not being as interested in her

I like Levaine

“Kill lupercal” didn’t even see the twat

You do get a couple space marines fighting scenes though but that’s like the only good parts

storm jungle

Tbh the titan stuff is good but like-

#

the problem with titan-stuff in 40k is its the same thing EVERY time

#

argue/wrestle with machine spirit

#

argue with other princeps

someone gets blown the fuck up

yapyap brave last words

so far it's further than mortis

so these must be the titans left fighting after that book

He must have Labubus'

# storm jungle "season 1"

I wonder what "season 2" is about. Considering the series shows that Titans are completely impractical, more of a propaganda platform than a weapon platform.

storm jungle
#

there isnt a season 2

#

it was just 3 episodes

rocky gale
#

Season 2 will be Kill Abaddon

valid needle
#

And Abbadon isn’t even in the episode.

#

Just like season one’s twist.

rocky gale
#

Na, they'll actually kill him

#

It will have Major ramifications for 40k lore

rose thorn
#

I KNOW

#

ALSO

#

ZARBAG HAS A NEW SYMBOL

#

WARBANDS ARE GETTING CHANGESSSS

#

THEY ARE COOKED

My guess is skinnerkin is gonna get a rework too soon

So that’s hype

Here’s your official look into the next evolution of the iconic real-time strategy franchise with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV!
First revealed during PC Gaming Show: Tokyo Direct, this new trailer has been captured entirely from in-engine gameplay.

Many years after the events of Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Kronus burns as Space Marines of...

#

the matched animations look so good

queen laurel
languid meadow
#

also electro priests

queen laurel
#

the orks just bringing out three gorkonauts KEKW_ogryn

languid meadow
#

my only issue is the scale for the bigger units feel weird but i understand it's for gameplay reasons

#

like the monolith feels really small

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

no guard, no tau, why live

languid meadow
#

A lot of the units look nice it's just the monolith to me

queen laurel
#

There's just really not a lot of ways of making the size feel natural when it's an RTS

languid meadow
#

honestly Tau, Eldar, and Guard are basically guaranteed to show up imo

spring cairn
#

at least necrons are cool ig

arctic talon
#

Guard are being worked on

remote wadi
arctic talon
#

And are either gona be the first dlc

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

yeah dlc

arctic talon
#

Or a 5th faction

#

Prolly dlc

languid meadow
#

oh shit so they made it so every melee unit has matched animations

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

we'll see how much they charge

#

and what they include

#

in said dlc

remote wadi
#

As a tau main it's ok

spring cairn
#

i just wanan hear the tau music

#

one more time

remote wadi
#

We are used to be in the shadow of space marines

spring cairn
#

before i expire

languid meadow
#

yeah oh ok so now we have more than just sync kills

remote wadi
#

It makes it even greater good when we nuke you on the tabletop

languid meadow
#

melee itself has their own animations between units

queen laurel
#

GW is ruthless

spring cairn
#

i'm out there saying this like I haven't bought every tww dlc but hey

#

fantasy is a whole otha thing

languid meadow
#

Also Necrons are in this game via pity 😭

queen laurel
remote wadi
#

Necrons are hard to explore in games

languid meadow
#

"we promised them in 3 and they didn't play a big role in the previous games"

remote wadi
#

They are god lvl

spring cairn
#

necrons got the pity fuck

queen laurel
languid meadow
#

I dont care since we beat the eldar to a DoW game

#

L bozo

spring cairn
#

would've been bleak without them

#

2 imperium faction and orks

remote wadi
queen laurel
remote wadi
#

You can't just make necrons eat dirt

spring cairn
queen laurel
spring cairn
#

love taus but the guard still has the best theme

#

i hope they pay some kind of homage to it whenever they add them in

queen laurel
#

So for the sake of gameplay just make them work with mechanics and somehow make the guy survive anti material gun

languid meadow
#

every time guard are shown in these previews I keep seeing people spout out how "GW changed lasgun lore recently to this" and im still so confused where they get that

#

like no?

#

when

#

show me

spring cairn
#

what changed ?

queen laurel
remote wadi
#

For lore

queen laurel
#

People are confusing them being yellow

spring cairn
#

yeah it's red

languid meadow
#

they can just be diff colours

#

idk

#

fuck

#

I HATE 40K FANS

spring cairn
#

it's inconsistent

#

because gw

languid meadow
#

NO ONE READS

remote wadi
#

40k is inconsistent tho

spring cairn
#

even in books they can't settle on one depiction

remote wadi
#

Just to understand the big E I Lost my mind and felt to tzeentch

languid meadow
#

I assume it's like star wars with different systems/elements being used

#

like iirc there's purple las bolts

remote wadi
#

Honestly I think las colors are faction reliant

#

But Idk enought

languid meadow
#

it's all depends on the forge world that makes them

#

idk it's just people complaining and saying that "this is a new change" that piss me off

#

they're yellow in older DoWs as well

#

also BLUE

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

they fire red beams in the definitive edition

languid meadow
#

yeah the standard troopers had red

#

chimeras had yellow

#

I think some sentinels had blue?

#

I could be wrong on that one

spring cairn
#

i want to die

#

i don't see why they can't have different colours

queen laurel
#

Yeah it's a laser

spring cairn
#

but i don't see why they should have different colours either

queen laurel
#

Laser come in different colors

languid meadow
#

also the radium shots from the skitarii in the trailer look so good

spring cairn
#

in artwork it's either red or yellow most of the time, i'm fine with that

languid meadow
#

their pale teal looks great

spring cairn
#

but i'll never, never ever

#

allow bolts

#

we beam in this house

dapper gyro
#

Lasgun beam is said to have different colours depending on the environment as well.

spring cairn
#

no bolts allowed

#

get ur bolty ass back to sw

storm jungle
#

its always been majorily red

#

its just inconsistency

#

also that warcom post was basically making a fake narrative

remote wadi
dapper gyro
#

Then again, there is a lasgun suppressor to remove the visible beam, which shouldn't be visible in the 1st place...

languid meadow
spring cairn
#

if it wasn't visible it wouldn't be as cool

languid meadow
#

the radium looks so good

storm jungle
spring cairn
storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much

#

also like warcom is consistenly wrong on stuff

#

since they just make "le funny lore posts" every time

queen laurel
languid meadow
remote wadi
#

Obviously

dapper gyro
#

They do it because they can. Next.

queen laurel
languid meadow
#

lychguard......

#

I love this lineup

#

so much

storm jungle
spring cairn
#

once again, red or yellow or pink idc

#

just no bolts please

queen laurel
#

Not like Star Wars

spring cairn
#

yeah a beam

languid meadow
#

yea

queen laurel
#

gotcha gotcha

spring cairn
#

just like in hit game Warhammer 40k : Darktide

languid meadow
#

like how DoW depicts it but I think las pistols should be bolts

spring cairn
#

kill him

languid meadow
#

I think it's a perspective thing making it look small idk because the doom stalker is massive in other shots

#

idk we'll see

#

not out yet so

spring cairn

i hope we get army painter back

Hey guys, what's up? I have been running a warhammer 40k Lore channel in Turkish for several months now and have reached a certain level, but would like to bring my perspective to global audiences.

have you played VTMB1

4/10 gameplay 4/10 graphics best game i ever played

this game is gonna flop so hard everyone is just gonna download the Unofficial Patch and play VTMB1 instead

I hope the second is the same

storm jungle

the entire second half of the game is ass

its not that bad

and calling it "dogshit" is a bit overblowing it lmao

theres a reason the patch added an option to ENTIRELY skip the sewers

vagrant fox
#

Fuckin Activision

storm jungle
#

Yeah they literally butchered Troika lol

#

they went bankrupt like the few months the game was out

#

its genuinely terrible ngl

#

and deciding to release it on the same period as HALF-LIFE 2

vagrant fox
#

Watching Tim Cains videos they arguably had some internal issues as well but I'm still putting 99% of the blame on Activision because I'll never get another Arcanum

storm jungle
#

Yeah it was largely their fault because you can REALLY notice how rushed the game is once you go past the middle-point

languid meadow
#

reminds me of another game

#

DS1

storm jungle
#

no

vagrant fox
#

Just shit it out and die bozos

languid meadow
#

I LOVE the game

#

but after OnS

#

eugh

vagrant fox
#

At least we got VTM Redemption and Bloodlines 1 in the end

languid meadow
#

the good parts are good but near the end it's just combat after combat

#

tiring really

#

but the game is still fun

vagrant fox
#

DS1 was a bit rough but at least they were allowed to finish the game to a playable state

#

You couldn't really play Bloodlines at launch

storm jungle
#

tbh its literally unplayable

#

considering the game was essentially sabotaged

vagrant fox
#

You needed fanpatches from the get go didn't you
I think Boyarsky was really despondent about the game and thought everyone hated it for a long time

storm jungle
#

Yeah he only noticed its popularity once the main Patch mod fixed it

#

it wasnt even games like nowadays where its just a buggy mess, it was basically missing essential stuff that just meant you couldnt even play the game lol

"the exact same look and design" is kind of the definition of copy...

Exactly. Probably the same issue with weapons as well.

If you took a land raider, replaced the treads with screws and added a turret on top, that is probably distinct enough.

CSMs are basically immortal

Not invincible though

Great show

opaque coyote

Jokes aside, warp bullshit means that there are CSMs that are veterans of the Horus Heresy

#

Of course, it's still very easy to die.

#

Cause

#

Chaos

#

But you're definitely not dying by old age

dapper gyro
#

Also because they are lost for a thousand year in real time doesn't mean they spent a thousand year in the warp.

#

Time dilation in 40K happens mostly between the dimensions.

#

Only a small number of CSM actually spent almost the amount of time that their age suggest.

arctic talon

was mandatory for some minis back in the day

cyan merlin

I thought dead chaos marines just reformed in the warp

#

Which is why it’s so hard to just
Keep them dead
You have to banish them from real space

lament shoal

If you're just an average chaos marine the chaos gods don't care, you're just fodder

cyan merlin
#

In which case
Yeah how do they get more chaos marines? Is that what the cults are for?

arctic talon
#

Traitors

lament shoal
#

It can happen through a large variety of means

cyan merlin

Can’t help but feel like chaos marines training would be
To put it nicely
Sub-par

arctic talon

It varies

Wildly

cyan merlin
#

Guess chaos blessings would balance things out regardless

lament shoal
cyan merlin
#

Is that any daemon or just important ones?

arctic talon
#

Any

#

Daemons can be perma killed very difficulty

#

Via obliteration of essence

#

The emperors sword just does that easily

cyan merlin
#

So how does one obliterate essence without the sword?

arctic talon
#

Psykers can do it with preparation and the true name

#

And some other factions weird artifacts

#

The eldar have a few melee weapons that can do it

cyan merlin
#

True name being
Really hard to get, if I remember correctly

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

It’s not always necessary

#

But it makes it a less difficult process

#

By a huge amount

cyan merlin
#

So do grey knights have any stories pertaining to successfully killing a powerful daemon?

#

Seems like
A really easy way to show off how strong they are

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

one or two

#

but the Daemons were invented for the like

#

short stories lol

cyan merlin

Because why should the grey knights get to do something important
They look so cool and yet the stories are so lame

cyan merlin
arctic talon

Uhhh

#

Not super often

but individual traitors are

somewhat common

cyan merlin

Yeah the space marine games make it seem like this is a persistent problem

wind canyon
#

There's Dragan from the Lords of Silence book as an example of an individual one in the modern era. Never stated what chapter he was from originally before turning plague marine

cyan merlin
#

What’s that book about? Finished my first 40k book a few days ago and still checking on what to read next

arctic talon
#

It’s about a death guard warband

It’s a very good book

I’ll have to keep that in mind when I get bored of the imperial guard

My only real limiting factor is if or not I can find a physical copy

Ideally not for $90
Thanks GW

lament shoal
#

The book isn't that old, they still sell physical copies at stores

arctic talon
#

Well it’s not GW selling it for 90$

#

Lol

#

They just don’t print books forever aside from rule books

lament shoal
#

I got mine at an official store and it was only $25

cyan merlin
#

Ehhhh… I have to drive two hours to the nearest book store that would have it…

#

It’s fine, need to get a bunch of books anyway
Not just 40k, need halo books too

opaque coyote
#

I wouldn't say good

#

But definitely very intensive

#

Basically it's usually harder than even the average SM training

#

Also Chaos

#

Gear though, unless if you're Black Legion or you're giving the Dark Mechanicus something that Slaanesh would be proud of, is a huge issue

#

Apparently being near to the screaming gateway to Hell doesn't do well for supplies

cyan merlin
#

So how do they get new gear? Off loyalists or whatever they can piece together on their own?

unique bronze
#

I guess they got warp forged weapons as well right

Their armor is always in pretty terrible condition

dont their gear mutate with them

If this was canon, what would the Imperium look like?

As for Plague Marines. Their armor is kinda their skin now

Yeah but if the Horus heresy hadn’t happened the imperium wouldn’t be clusterfuck that it is now

Dreadnoughts experience the same thing, kinda

#

Sorta but hey at least they spend most of their time sleeping

cyan merlin
opaque coyote
#

Btw CSM dreadnoughts are considered a fate worse than death lmao

#

Because you don't get the luxury of sleeping

#

Also daemons constantly gnaw at your mind

#

So you're always gonna be driven insane

cyan merlin
#

Killing CSMs is considered mercy even outside the cruelty of the world
Yeesh

opaque coyote
#

Depends

#

Chaos is like Capitalism. It dangles the idea of climbing the ladder

#

Only to realize that the ladder is fucking broken

cyan merlin

Just seduce a greater Daemon easy

The Joker is a Tzeenchian daemon that somehow manifested in 2nd millennium

queen laurel
#

the necrons just have a celestial delete button lying around

cyan merlin

Ignoring the fact that the necrons basically never want to use it
The consequences on the rest of the galaxy would be disastrous

Weakening Chaos would also buff every other opponent since they themselves lost a strong Chaos opponent

queen laurel
#

They would just be in the same situation now just minus chaos of every single race just ganging up on them

celest dome
#

Chaos would probably be much more like the GSC

cyan merlin
#

Except the Orks
…And maybe the T’au would’ve been obliterated

celest dome
#

Globally speaking

#

Orks would still gang up on the Imperium

#

Hell a stronger Imp. would lead to stronger Orks

cyan merlin
#

Well yeah that’s what the orks were made to do

queen laurel
#

hell they will probably be the most common enemy to fight

cyan merlin
#

More not understanding how they’re organized
To my understanding having the imperium to fight doesn’t mean they’d also stop fighting the other species

queen laurel
#

and orks tend to be smarter the bigger they are the bigger they are

#

So give them a strong enemy give them a constant cycle of fighting that guy and you're just gonna make bigger and smarter orks

cyan merlin
#

Oh also the Tyranids being possibly extragalactic would still be a huge problem

queen laurel
#

without the pharaoh's device exploding

celest dome

If the Pharos doesn't explode, you could argue that they might take longer to find the right galaxy

cyan merlin
#

Don’t even know what the Pharos is ;-;

queen laurel
#

the loyalists and traitors were fighting for this thing it exploded which attracted the tyranids

#

Because super bright light means smart things making super bright lights

#

and so they decided to go to our universe

cyan merlin
#

Ohhh okay
So were the Tyranids just not in the galaxy pre-heresy?

queen laurel
cyan merlin
#

Fascinating

queen laurel
#

there were scouts

#

But they went into hibernation

#

so they couldn't really relay the information

cyan merlin
#

And if the Horus heresy doesn’t happen and chaos stays weak they don’t even have the forces of nurgle to keep them in check

shadow plover
#

Chaos would find a way to corrupt and intervene in the Emperors plans no matter if the heresy itself hadn't happened

queen laurel
#

but after the light exploded the hive mind was now sure that there is life in the universe

#

^

#

the chaos gods tend to not like a guy that unites people

shadow plover
#

if the emperor created the primarchs, then the chaos gods would find a way

cyan merlin
#

Wonder how that would manifest then if the primarchs remained loyal

shadow plover
#

their legionaries

#

it all started with the legionaries anyways

cyan merlin
#

Without the primarchs themselves turning I figure the heresy would’ve lasted a lot longer
More drawn out

shadow plover
#

A lot of about their creation would have to change as well to not make them turn at all I feel

cyan merlin
#

Oh yeah the very nature of astartes would have to be completely different

#

Didn’t say this alt-timeline made sense, just speculating what it would be like

opaque coyote
#

Since well he made them like that

cyan merlin

The Emperor… At least from what little I know, is too self-absorbed to have made the primarchs any differently
And if he WASN’T so full of himself he wouldn’t BE the emperor

The emperor created him and the Nightlords as his terror troops basically, however. The Nightlords recruited from Terra and curze homeworld of Nostramo. The Nightlords from Terra were fine and honourable even. The Nightlords from nostramo however became largely the worst dregs of nostramo society because the nobility of nostramo took all the good soldiers and people for themselves and sent the Nightlords the worst criminals. This got out of control because curze was with the emperor or out on crusade and it’s not until curze returned to Nostramo that we see him go ballistic with sevatar and basically say how his sons are scum.

Basically

get given criminals as recruits, you’ll get criminals as your space marines.
