Basically a lot of loyalist primarchs are conveniently missing or in standby mode ready for GW to one day do some kind of galaxy-ending meta plot which requires them to be available again. Assuming they will..

Considering they just released a Daemon Primarch Magnus model and 40k's next big event is 'Fall of Cadia', that may be closer than any of us think.

Isn't Terra considered the "Throne World of the Imperium" even during the Great Crusade and into the Horus Heresy eras? If so, it would make sense to utter "throne" under your breath during a particularly dire moment in the 30th millennium.

They're actually talking about the Emp's solid gold toilet.

If anything can be said for definite about Vulks in the BA series is that it answers the question of what would a primarch do coming back to the modern imperium, and that is be is really loving salty and just sulk half the time

That's basically what Gullyman does in some parts of 'Rise of the Primarch'.

The Thousand Sons were far from the only Legion to continue using psykers but the other major ones that did so openly (Space Wolves and White Scars) did so within an existing, safe, framework.

Isn't the whole thing with the Wolves and psykers that they say that Rune Priests don't use the Warp but instead pull their powers straight from Fenris?

Quick new lore question. With the new huge warp storm, can the imperials on the far side not see the astronomicon? I thought you just couldn't travel through the storm, but no warp travel for half the emperium is a pretty big deal if so.

I think it's either that, or the astronomicon is very dim.

They're kinda the go-to "Mysterious Origin Successor Chapter" in the Space MarineAdeptus Astartes codexes, and the painted mini sections of any books that feature SMs will most often feature a Raven or two.

It's ten thousand years before M41. The Fall of the Eldar happens at the same time that the Emperor is working on the Primarchs.

And the Fall of the Eldar and the clearing of the warp storms caused by Slaanesh's birth are basically what allow Big E to begin the great crusade.

Amberley has also alway had the attitude that it's better to be sneaky, and if need be let smaller fish escape in order to catch the biggest threats by surprise, as opposed to announcing her arrival a year in advance by setting fire to everything that looks at her funny.

Have they actually started writing mainline novels with this kind of stuff now? Not to be all AD&D about it but I could probably stand to skip that poo poo and still have more Warhammer than I'd ever want to read.

Dark Imperium is the first novel set after the whole introduction of the Primars/return of Guilliman. Crusade and Other Short Stories, Of Honour and Iron, War of Secrets, and Blood of Iax also feature them, as does the short story A Brother's Confession

Is it considered canon that there's a loyalist clone of Fulgrim out there in Trayzyn's collection? Between that guy and Bile, it feels like they have everything you could possibly imagine up in 40k.

No? Never heard this theory. The big guy in Trazyn's collection is most likely a Custodes or Thunder Warrior, but has been speculated to be Vulkan.

What’s the reading order for books that cover Guilliman returning/the Great Rift opening/current events?

I'd start with Dark Imperium as it's the one that deals most with Gullyman's return and sets up stuff for the current events. The novella part of Crusade and Other Short Stories details a battle between Primaris marines and Death Guard during the Indomitus Crusade. Devastation of Baal actually has a scene that details the opening of the rift, and the effects it has on both the Blood Angels and the Tyranids (it ain't pretty). Finally, the other Space Marines Conquests books (Ashes of Prospero, War of Secrets, and Of Honour and Iron currently) are set after the rift opens, but I haven't read them. There's also the upcoming Dark Imperium: Plague War, the sequel to the first book.

Bigger, stronger but stupider I think has been established in the recent fiction. Well, maybe not stupid as such, but less tactically minded than experienced oldmarines.

I think its more that they're tactically inflexible, seeing as their TT units are all armed with one weapon each and can't mix in special/heavy weapons.
