Desperately trying to think of which Primarch could have been raised by the Necrons. I expect the Necrons would probably kill anything living out of principle, and it's pretty challenging to conceive of a situation in which they'd permit a Primarch to live, let alone raise it. Any psychically potent Primarch is out of the question with blackstone, and technically minded Primarchs like Manus, Dorn, and Perturabo wouldn't make sense either (anything they could accomplish would be trivial to the necrons). I almost want to say Corax: maybe his latent gift to be seen but not perceived would allow him to confuse destroyers and line troops, but he could negotiate with Overlords and the likes. I could 100% see Perturabo joining the Earth caste of the Tau: being the engineer he always wanted to be, and only ever being used for war in trying times.
It would be really freaking cool and original if you did a Mortarion, taken by the Hrud (I think that name), the time warping xenos from the great crusade. Idk, I just think it would be cool to see a old man morty because of all the time shenanigans.
Tau Guilliman- he landed on a primitive world filled with a wild and disparate stone-aged people. His leadership and skill brought them together, and they quickly evolved into a highly sophisticated technological powerhouse of an empire with an elaborate caste system, the most ruthlessly efficient way to run a society- he is the first Ethereal.
Good one, The Greater Good isn't some pragmatic message or brainwashed guidance, but just... the most efficient way to do things. Truly a good fit for the castes.
The Tau race is sadly only 6k years old and that's when the Humans came into to contact with the race and they were in a stoneage technological state. The Primarchs were lost in the late 30th millennium. So that means that the Primarch would've reached the planet before the Tau had any technological advances.
@@MGC-XIII Yes, as I said he found them as a stone aged people. HE is the reason they become technologically advanced, his genius is the reason they advance so quickly, they become super organised and efficient, not wasting time and evolve in hundreds rather than thousands of years.
As far as we know, the earliest the Tyranids had contact with the galaxy was possibly during the Great Crusade, during which humanity still adhered to the Imperial Truth. I suppose you _could_ have Lorgar land on the same world, but have that world be corrupted by genestealers. It's a stretch in terms of lore, but possible
Yes, this would be awesome. Imagine the Hive Mind likes him as it's herald spreading the word and gives him his own Warrior Class/Army of Tyranids to spread the word
Leman feeding scraps of his flesh to any Kroot who would join him to create an army of Primarch-juiced superkroot would be really cool, as well as a nice excuse for some crazy scarring on the model.
@@M-CH_wouldn't cannibalism be worthless to the kroot, no generic code copied isn't already part of them as a whole (although I guess if a particular member has a unique bit of dna then maybe. )
I would love to see a Votann Perturabo. The leagues have a really unique and interesting culture and seeing how that would affect my favorite manbaby's upbringing would be pretty cool. Plus they both have a techy aesthetic and that's just fun.
Nice video, here's my ideas: Vulcan - Tau Empire, wearing a battle suit like armour. The Tau empire would match his reputation as the nice(er) Primarch. Alpharius/Omegon - Harlequins, because of the mysterious goals and actions being somewhat similar. Not sure who'd be the best match, but a Primarch being absorbed by the Tyranids would be cool. Mortarion - The Hrud, because their aging powers seem parallel but distinct from the plague theming from canon. Perturabo - The Necrons, brutal siege combat would gel well with the attrition-negation of the necrons.
If Vulcan was adopted by the Tau, maybe Tau battlesuits would have melee weapons. I know they have Fusion Blades and the Onager gauntlet but let those feature more heavily. At this point have some melee tasked specialist to match the crazy melee forces they have to constantly fight.
@@andreacab1312 seems pretty straight forward - take Void Dragon - replace wings with feathery wings - add glitch effects (like the main body) to said wings - replace face with human face (preferably screaming in agony) - remove tail - maybe change weapon
I'd love to see Perturabo raised by a Kinhost of the Leagues of Votann. Their recent book goes more in depth of how important crafting is to their culture and I think he'd be a good fit (and maybe less depressed). I think having a primarch raised by an eccentric Necron could also be interesting and I'd love to see your take on it.
@@noahmehringer29 so the trazyn childhood would be, instead of becoming prideful over all that he has (great looks, tons of wealth, an army that follow his every command), he's ultra envious, wanting everything everyone else has. From jealousy to envy, huh, neat. (yes jealousy and envy are different things, look out up)
I like the attempt, and I do agree it may need a a little more Eldar in it. I think the biggest points I can critique is the lack of colour of both the cloak and armour, and the lack of identity of Curze himself. Perhaps making some of cloak (or all) bleached bone, and sculping hair coming out from being the helmet (to make it more like a mask) could push it that bit further forward. My own personal take would be a little more brain-storming on the character he is and the what if scenario of being raised by Eldar. I feel that Curze would be an Eldar Warlock due to his Psychic ability with his path of the warrior taking him previously through the Warp Spider aspect. I can see him with a pair of death-spinner arms while wielding a pair of witchblades. It also allows you to introduce more red into the scheme, by flipping the usual Warp Spider scheme to have black armour and a red Jump Generator. Though I'm sure this would be a lot more work as you'd need a wraith guard/lord sized generator and death spinners.
with the timeline discrepancy, it offers two interesting possibilities: • the T'au evolved and became a faction away earlier, leading to increased influence on the eventual 41st millennium • Guilliman didn't pop out of the warp until way later, a fresh naive little baby compared to his brothers
@@recurvestickerdragon Both of those are very interesting, I think. 40k seems to lack another 'civilised' superpower as the T'au are very definitively behind the Imperium in the normal canon and the Eldar are fairly non-interventionist (and everyone else is either insane or a monster). I think I'd prefer the second as it'd be a good way to show an in-timeline example of how a Primarch can supercharge a region's development.
All it would take for Necron Ferrus is for the tomb complex he crash-landed into being a bit more active and being taken in by the Overlord. An entirely Necrodermis-covered body based off the Void Dragon shard could be particularly awesome.
I'm sure that will turn out juuuust fiiiine, @@grelt2162, considering multiple previous attempts by his sons to resurrect or rebuild him have gone horribly awry
A version of Mortarion who embraced his foster father on Barbaras. For inspiration, when I think of the overlords, I picture a genestealer patriarch in a ragged cloak for some reason.
T'au Gulliman! T'au Gulliman! T'AU GULLIMAN! Gulliman in a crazy battlesuit! I feel like the T'au philosophy of "everyone has their place, no matter how small" could be an interesting take, and while technically the timeline wouldn't match up, could you imagine a T'au race lead not by the Ethreals but by the greatest unifier of all the Primarchs?!
I had the same thought for Magnus. A Magnus raised to be seperated from the warp has so many potential design ideas. Some sort of Necron tech armour that controls or severes his psyker nature.
That would make a great switcheroo, from Horus conquering the Interex under the Emperor's banner in one universe to defending them from his tyranny in another.
Ye, you could make Roboutian Heresy Lion, who fell to Tzeentch, then you could make Dornian Heresy Lion as a dead body on a base for Luther kitbash... Damn, this stuff just writes itself
The Commander Farsight could provide Bits for a T'au Ptimarch. Maybe some one like GUllieman or Fulgrim arrived before the rise of the ethereals and unified the T'au
You could bend T'au lore a bit and have it be Vulkan. He'd jive well with the Greater Good philosophy, perhaps acting as an alternative source of the philosophy to the Etherials.
Vulcan leading a rebellion against the Ethereals alongside Farsight to achieve a TRULY Greater Good would be dope af. He and the Earth Caste would get along very well, and probably make a kickass grav-hammer for him to wield. The Coldstar kit is about the same size as the Lion'El kit, scale-wise.
Ok, I know the T'au are a bit late to the party, but can you imagine a world where a Primarch landed on a primitive T'au world and took the place of or among the Aetherials? I've often wondered about Guilliman specifically tutoring Farsight, even more interesting if Puretide is still kept in the mix as well.
Man if this is the level of output, I can't wait for the next ones you do! My humble suggestions would be: - Russ from Genestealer Cult (or just Genestealers/'nids, as maybe the Cults didn't exists yet in the 30k 'vers?) - Corax as a Dark Eldar - Ferrus Manus as a Necro (too obvious?) - Magnus from the Kharve? - Lion or Vulcan as a Kinebrach? - Alpharius as a Laer? Maybe Logar?
I got some Ideas "Sanguinius the Black Angel" - raised by Vect as his little perfect goth angel. His compassion and greatness in all matters twisted into cruelty and being the alpha predator of Commorragh "Mortarion the Sorcerer King of Barbarus" - Mortarion never stopped serving his xeno adoptive father. Instead, he became intoxicated by the dark arts. We don't know much about the xenos of Barbarus but that means you could go nuts! "Corax the Carrion Patriarch" - raised by genestealer cult corax became a freedom fighter just as in normal lore. the freedom being the right to be eaten by Tyranids. "Perturabo the worst CEO in the galaxy" - While others also proposed it I do agree Votar Raised Perturabo fits very well. Technological aptitude is one thing but Votan cyberpunk esque corporate themes merged with Perturabo's ruthless efficiency would see the great ancestors shareholders very happy with profit charts.
Ferrus Manus raised by Squats (Not Votann) sounds like a cool idea and good fit, ultimately becoming a sort of god-like, almost machine god among them, leading them to be able to ultimately defend against the Tyranids and keep them from being squatted! Also Lorgar not being raised by, but being possessed by one of the C'tan would be interesting. I could see the lost primrch with his need to believe and to find the divine, leading him on his own cosmicquest that ultimately leads to a C'tan are a shard that possesses him.
@@Commandocheif99 sort of. They way they have meshed old lore and new lore it makes it sound morel iek the Squats were Votann who sort of broke off to do their own thing. At any rate, we're talking alternate history and timelines so really it's dealer's choice as to what bits of lore you use.
As counterintuitive as it might seem; Votann Fulgrim might be a good combo, given the clean LoV aesthetics, Fulgrim’s canon childhood, and his soon-to-be-released mini.
Amazing conversion, great aesthetic snd backstory that provides a nice contrast to canon Kurze (and gives him an upbringing that actually. Deals with his visions. Poor bastard) Other ideas for xenos-raised primarchs: Magnus, with a necron lord who regrets their bio-transference. Magnus believes he can help with his warp abilities and find a way to return the necrons their souls. Guilliman with the Tau but since they werent unified by the ethereals yet, he fills that role. Lo-tech Tau in essence Vulkan, but with the Hrud. Can't die permanently of old age. Lion El'Johnson on Eldar Maiden world. Dino Sir'Johnson (also kinda fits the knight aesthetic ig? Riding dragons instead of slaying em tho) Ferrus Manus with a Jokaero family unit, travelling the stars and raiding for bits of tech the family's matriarch wants. A real mama's boy. Aside from that, I'm also throwing my hat in with the Leman Russ kroot crew crowd, aswell as for Votann Perturabo, Harlequin Lorgar, and Drukhari Corax to be a foil for Kurze/Korumm-Tain
alright this might be crazy but, what if magnus was raised by an old one, the only one that managed to escape the enslaver plague by creating a spell so strong that the old one was able to move 60 million years to the future to avoid it's death in the hands of the warp death.
Eldar Curze was my biggest Wish after watching your Angron Video so seeing this makes me super happy Up next Tau Guilliman based on the Farsight Mini for next week before returning to a Lion Kitbash the Week after?
@someopinion first of all through the warp all things are possible Whos to say the Universe cant go long enough for Guillimans stasis pod to be delayed by warp shenanigans and plop him on the Tau world in M34 (i think thats the earliest point where we know the tau exist)? By this point Angron, Curze and others would already be established figures making Guilliman (much like the Tau among the races) the upstart among his brothers
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your lore for Korum-Tainn. Coming from someone who is themself quite an amaturish writer, it can be very nervewracking to share something you've created and aren't fully confident in. Regardless, I very much enjoyed hearing your short story and take on the "What If" scenario for Aeldari Conrad Kurze. You did great! Regarding the model itself, it looks quite good from the front and has plenty of detail, but the back is rather bare and doesn't have the same sort of Aeldari feel to it. Im not 100 percent sure what you could have added or done differently, and im sorry for that. Overall, you've done quite well, and this is another amazing addition to your aternate scenario world. I'd personally love to hear more lore from you regarding your kitbashes and custom builds!
Konrad Kurze ending up in Aelindrach as a baby, and essentially becoming a mandrake primarch might be neat. He’s probably end up way, way more evil than canon Konrad Kurze, which is saying something. And the idea of a semi-feral Konrad Kurze with mandrake powers is absolutely terrifying. He would be a terror of the Dark City with a legendary reputation. They say he’s one of the only things the mandrakes of Aelindrach fear. The only one who they obey without question. They say the mandrakes view him as their king, and that he wears the skins of other mandrakes who disobeyed him as a cloak. He has a sixth sense for things too. Premonitions, visions of what might be. Uses the bones and entrails of a farseer as a focus. His services cost a great deal, but his reputation is absolutely deserved. They say the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue was wiped out in a single night. Everyone body their fortress had been skinned and decapitated, or was vanished entirely. Many were frozen solid by the cold balefire of the mandrakes. The Archon was missing. No one knows what happened to him.
'It's my channel... if I want to make every kit from the Lion El Johnson kit I will. Welcome to the Lion El Johnson channel...' had me cracking up tbh!
Corvus Corax - Khrave (Psyker Werebats of the Ghoul Stars), Alpharius & Omegon - Laer (Reptilian Race from the ocean world of Laeran who worshipped Slaanesh), Roboute Guilliman - Megarachnids (Weather Contolling Sentient Spiders of Planet Murder), Rogal Dorn - Leagues of Votann, Magnus the Red - Drukhari, Leman Russ - Nicassar (Psyker Werebears allied with the Tau), Perturabo - Necrons (Specifically the Flayed King and the Flayer Virus Necrons), Ferrus Manus - Rak'Gol (Marauders of the Halo Stars), Sanguinius - Enslavers (Warp Entities), Lorgar - Grell (Chaos God Malice Worshipping Xenos), Horus Lupercal - Hrud (Temporaferrox/Troglydium Hrudii the Chronomantic/phagic Time Xenos), Fulgrim - Norn Emissary (Tyranids of Hive Fleet Tiamat), Vulcan - Barghesi (Grendi Stars), Mortarion - Drugh (Large, worm-like intelligent xenos species that lived on the world of Pyrus I), Lion El'Johnson - Zoat (Ancient, reptilian and centauroid alien species that was enslaved or specially engineered as bioconstructs by the Tyranids), Jaghatai Khan - Umbra (Live in the void of space & are fragments of the cosmic entity known as Qah).
Ive gotta say i dont think the Tau will be a good option for this series since they are so primitive for the Horus Heresy period, but on that note a semi-feral pair of exodite Jaghatai khan and Leman Russ riding dinosaurs would be METAL.
I absolutely love the story you came up with! I wonder if we have enough Xenos factions for all the primarchs... I would love to see you expand to non-playable or niche factions, like Exodites, Hrud, or Tau Auxilliaries like Kroot.
Genstealer Cult Magnus, where his psychic might merges with the hive mind and his consious mind becomes intergalactic, maybe he received the genestealers kiss as a child, but then grew to lead entire an entire planet of GSC humans and an entire hive fleet
came here to say Perturabo raised by the kin of the Leagues of Votann, but lots of folk already said that haha. But his armor could be smoothed down and his weapons made to look a bit more Dwarfish, his horus herasy model could work well for it but Idk if any of the 40k models would work for such a conversion, maybe the lion again?
I love how every somewhat believable alternate background you can come up with for Curze is infinitely more positive than his canon one. As for a suggestion for more xeno-primarch slashfic, imagine if Alpharius and Omegon was adopted by the T'au Ethereal caste.
Love this background story, it's the best part of conversions. Is having a reason something is as it is! Also a great conversion that I was a bit skeptical of tbh. But listening to lore and looking on it grew on me, thinking of it more as a wraith knight more then a warrior really helped sell it
Personally, I would love a drukhari raised corax but my fav things would be: 1. A necron raised Ferrus Manus Or 2. A Beast snagga type thing where leman russ and the space wolves have captured and wrangled tyranids to be their mounts. Imagine Leman Russ charging you on a carnifex, that kind of thing. Love your content, keep up the good work! :D
Mortarion would make for an amazing necron tomb crawler. Like imagine him being lost on an ancient tomb world all alone with the only living things around him being soulless necrons who lay dormant until being reborn to the primarch.
I would personally think it interesting to see Fulgrim picked up in necron society, given the serpent shape it's new model has, maybe they could have tried to merge its DNA and body with a bunch of machines/ wraith-like beings and scarabs to further research how to reaquire their precious bodies?
I also have a Xenos focused alternate universe and the Primarch/Xenos Pairings in that are Corvus Corvax- Genestealer Cults. Was infected as a baby and grew up to become the leader of a huge cult, eventually tries to kill The Emperor to use the astronomicon to call the hive mind. Roboute Guilliman - Tau, acts as a right hand to the ethereal caste and seeks to spread the greater good Angron- Orks, got a head injury, had a piece of ork tech shoved in their and saw a vision that he would lead a gold army, when he met Emps he thought he'd lead him to that so joined him, eventually got bored and when fighting orks on armageddon he let out a waaargh, and turned upon his Legion, he and the orks slaughtered them and salvaged their gold power armour and began fighting across the galaxy in a great waaargh. Conrad Curze- Drukhari, got adopted as a gladiator and became so feared and beloved he slowly rose threw the ranks of a great house Magnus-Exodite Aldari, spent much of his life hiding the maiden world from the imperium but when he found out about Corvax's plan he tried to warn the emperor, placing the galaxy ahead of his home, Emps ignored it and sent the space wolves to recover magnus and cleanse the maiden world, Magnus escaped and returned with an army mostly made up of wraithbone constructs and surviving farseers The Khan- Craft world aldari, not written much about him Sanguinius- The abhuman messiah, leads an army of Mutants and beastmen Perterabo- Leagues of Votann, does some mercenary work for the other factions, has a grudge against Rogal Dorn, not much written about him either. Ferrus Manus- C'tan, when fighting the dragon he communed with it rather than killing it, it offered to lead his people to strength, immortality, and unbreakable bodies, Ferrus bound himself to the shard with necrodermis and sought out more shards of C'tan, has his hand cut off and the shard take by Fulgrim, and then beats Fulgrim into a coma with his other hand Oh and Mortarion dies to Corvus in this setting when Corvus tries to infect him and finds out you can't infect an adult primarch, or it was just Mortarion toughness
Hear me out, a young Mortarion (or maybe even Corax), the only primarch to land on a human inhabited world, finds himself shielded from the planet's oppressors by the caring arms of a wayward genestealer's congregation. Also Lorgar could be a hell of a water caste diplomat
The Xeno Scattering (As I've been calling it in my head at least) is still such an awesome concept. So consider this my suggestion! Ferrus Manus with the T'au. And yes, I fully understand that the T'au are an extremely young race, and thus weren't even around when the Primarchs were originally scattered, but I think that's the beauty of it. It's less that Ferrus Manus was adopted by the T'au, and more that the T'au were adopted by Ferrus Manus. The T'au race slowly evolving on their planet, stories spreading across their history of the World Titan, the Mountain Lord, the Wandering One. A mysterious hermit who wandered the world. He was rarely approached, but when he did he would challenge those bold enough to seek him out. Only through challenge and conflict could they receive a boon, a reward of knowledge or training, or a glorious artifact. During the time of the Mont'au, at the siege of Fio'taun, the strange hermit stepped forth between to great siege, challenging the champions of both sides and defeating them with ease. He took command of the T'au, determined to take this young, budding race under his guidance, to take these warring tribes and cities and forge from them into a mighty empire that learned from each conflict, that improved under each failure, and that would seek the greatness he felt they deserved. Basically think a sort of Merlin-esque mystery figure of T'au legend who, after watching this race grow and evolve from basically nothing, decides that all their fighting and bickering must end, so he takes command. Instead of the gentle and peaceful guidance of the overbearing Ethereals, Ferrus Manus wishes for the T'au to always seek challenges and try to improve themselves, to learn from each failure and mistake to become a true and glorious empire. I think it'd be neat! And the heavy emphasis Ferrus Manus has on technology and forge-craft would be a perfect fit with the rapid technological evolution of the T'au themselves, and the heavily Samurai-esque Bushido sort of creed that the T'au have fits well with Ferrus Manus' dedication to improvement, challenge, and competition.
Lorgar landing on a Tau world and being raised under the ideas of the greater good would be a cool one to see - he'd still be preaching something the empire aren't keen on but a lot less spikes and flaying I'd bet
A Tau-raised Peterabo would be neat, since they were in their infancy when the primarchs were lost, he could use his inventive nature to help them become a star-faring race without being forced to make weapons.
This is a fantastic kitbash, as always with you! One thing that might help make it even more Eldar would be rounding out the sharp edges on the shin and forearm armor bits, to give it the more organic Eldar look.
Great concept, I love it. I could see Leman Russ, Rogal Dorn, Pertuarabo, Magness or Fulgrim being a fun Tau build. Landing in the infancy of the race and shaping it would be a completely different outcome. Fulgrim with the Harlequins, playing Slaanesh to fight the tide would be a dynamic twist.
This is especially nice choice, as Kurze was wearing an eldar spirit stone when he died. So he's possibly still technically alive in there, and could be put in a wraith construct haha.
I think a Harlequins or Exodites Magnus would be super interesting! The Aeldari are, by far, the most psychic race (that matters) in the galaxy- so having them adopt Magnus just makes sense to me. And, since the Drukhari can't really use their psykers and the craftworlds already have a primarch, the Harlequins snatching him as a part of Cegorach's plan or the exodites adopting him and teaching him the old ways could be really cool! I also think Ferrus Manus for the Necrons, Perturabo for Votann and Sanguinius as a mortal follower of Khorne could all be super cool. (Also this video makes me want to make this conversion and make an army of aeldari night lords using dark angels rules)
This one actually makes a lot of sense. Not for 40k, because being raised by Eldrad is probably the best thing that could have happened to Konrad, but from a sensible faction assignment perspective. Kurze would probably have been mega OP with Farseer control.
The few that come to mind for me are, Jaghatai raised by the kroot, as they would still idolize the same nomadic Hunter and apex predator vibes at the white scars had on their home planet. Perturabo raised by the tau, as he could utilize their advanced technology and they would better utilize his peaceful designs which he tried to implement on his homeworld. He would also enjoy the lack of open arguing over politics and war. Ferrus Mannus could also be decent with the tau, but it would really be interesting to see him raised by either the necrons who utilize the cold, calculating efficiency he is known for or vashtorr (even though he's not really a xenos) which could twist his desire for advancement.
The unhinged moment about going full lion based and the quick Yu-Gi-Oh reference were so great moment, totally in contrast with the calm and controlled tone of the channel, loved it! It ads a lovely pinch of salt 🧂
Got a few ideas: Exodite Perturabo - If one of his reasons for being so broody & paranoid was being able to see the Eye of Terror when no else could, putting him with a race we'll equipped to teach about it would help. Plus, Perturabo on a dino sounds cool. Tau Lorgar - still a heretic preacher, but now preaching for the Greater Good! Necron/C'tann Magnus - Matching spooky undead Egyptian themes. Tyranid/Genestealer Mortarion- see new Hermiatus character for an idea for possibilities, plus sticking the anti-psyker primarch with the anti-psyker faction fits. Votann Vulkan- the Smith with the space dwarves.
Forgot one, Corsair Fulgrim- Space pirates with one of the best swordsmen, plus pairs well being the free-spirited Corsair Fulgrim to the stagnant Exodite Perturabo.
How about instead of “Primarch raised by aliens”, what about “Primarchs being raised by different human cultures”? For example: what would a primarch raised on world that would one day be famed for their Imperial Guard regiment or Forge Worlds? How about by a Knight House? Alternatively, maybe swap around the home world of certain Primarchs. Some examples: Corax on Catachan Russ on Vostrtoya Lorgar on Lucius Mortarian on Metallica Fulgrim on Molech Vulcan on Dragon’s End Sanguinius on Prospero Purterabo on Medusa
I have one: Perturabo as a Leagues of Votann Primarch. Hell, this could even go with Perturabo actually being found, but ultimately treated like shit similar to his regular 40K counterpart, so he leaves and comes across the Votann and they (for whatever reason) start seeing him as kin. An equal. Someone who deserves respect. Not respect in the sense of people fearing his power, but respect in that they respect his craftmanship.

Ferrus Manus, but he is being controlled by necron mind scarabs.
Do proto-tau Leman Russ!
Leman Russ if he went to the gladiator pits instead of Angron.
It would be really freaking cool and original if you did a Mortarion, taken by the Hrud (I think that name), the time warping xenos from the great crusade. Idk, I just think it would be cool to see a old man morty because of all the time shenanigans.
Since Kurze got picked up by the Aeldari, it'd make thematic sense for Corax to be raised by Drukhari.
Corax with Mandrake powers is terrifying.

Tau Guilliman- he landed on a primitive world filled with a wild and disparate stone-aged people. His leadership and skill brought them together, and they quickly evolved into a highly sophisticated technological powerhouse of an empire with an elaborate caste system, the most ruthlessly efficient way to run a society- he is the first Ethereal.
Good one, The Greater Good isn't some pragmatic message or brainwashed guidance, but just... the most efficient way to do things. Truly a good fit for the castes.
The Tau race is sadly only 6k years old and that's when the Humans came into to contact with the race and they were in a stoneage technological state.
The Primarchs were lost in the late 30th millennium.
So that means that the Primarch would've reached the planet before the Tau had any technological advances.
@@MGC-XIII Yes, as I said he found them as a stone aged people. HE is the reason they become technologically advanced, his genius is the reason they advance so quickly, they become super organised and efficient, not wasting time and evolve in hundreds rather than thousands of years.
@@MGC-XIII The Warp does mess with time sometimes, who says that he couldn't have been thrown through time as well?
@@MGC-XIII their civilization is 6k years old, they were absolutely hunter gatherers for at least a few thousand years before that just like us.
Lorgar would be the greatest genestealer cultist the hivemind has ever seen
Yeah follow the four armed god
As far as we know, the earliest the Tyranids had contact with the galaxy was possibly during the Great Crusade, during which humanity still adhered to the Imperial Truth. I suppose you _could_ have Lorgar land on the same world, but have that world be corrupted by genestealers. It's a stretch in terms of lore, but possible
Yes, this would be awesome. Imagine the Hive Mind likes him as it's herald spreading the word and gives him his own Warrior Class/Army of Tyranids to spread the word
As a GSC collector, I've never wanted a video more !
@@TheForveverbarianSloth
Very Locutis of Borg
"The Lion El Johnson kitbash channel" bit is so unhinged and i FULLY support it 😂😂
A Leman Russ adopted by Kroot hunters could be great !
Leman feeding scraps of his flesh to any Kroot who would join him to create an army of Primarch-juiced superkroot would be really cool, as well as a nice excuse for some crazy scarring on the model.
Please pete
Wouldn't Sanguinius be a better match for the cannibals?
Yes this would be amazing!!!
@@M-CH_wouldn't cannibalism be worthless to the kroot, no generic code copied isn't already part of them as a whole (although I guess if a particular member has a unique bit of dna then maybe. )
A hard one to explain but when i hear primarch raised by aliens I think of Guilliman becoming an ethereal
I .ean,,, both r blue, both are logi genoiuses and logical
I would love to see a Votann Perturabo.
The leagues have a really unique and interesting culture and seeing how that would affect my favorite manbaby's upbringing would be pretty cool. Plus they both have a techy aesthetic and that's just fun.
To say nothing of the fact that both the Votann and Perturabo tend to hold GRUDGES! Oh, Peter Turbo the Grudgefather.
That's an amazing idea. I'd thought of a Tau Perturabo through some warp time-travel, but Votann would work in the HH era!
YES PLEASE
Only if he's tiny. Smol Peter Turbo.
Necron Perturabo, for the weakness of flesh has been overcome...
Nice video, here's my ideas:
Vulcan - Tau Empire, wearing a battle suit like armour. The Tau empire would match his reputation as the nice(er) Primarch.
Alpharius/Omegon - Harlequins, because of the mysterious goals and actions being somewhat similar.
Not sure who'd be the best match, but a Primarch being absorbed by the Tyranids would be cool.
Mortarion - The Hrud, because their aging powers seem parallel but distinct from the plague theming from canon.
Perturabo - The Necrons, brutal siege combat would gel well with the attrition-negation of the necrons.
Tau were still cave fish in M31. They didn’t develop technology and everything else that we associate with their race until sometime in M34.
If Vulcan was adopted by the Tau, maybe Tau battlesuits would have melee weapons. I know they have Fusion Blades and the Onager gauntlet but let those feature more heavily. At this point have some melee tasked specialist to match the crazy melee forces they have to constantly fight.
@@noahmehringer29 It's all fun and games until Vulcan busts out the Onager HAMMER
@ Wonder which is stronger, Onager or Graviton based melee weapons?
@ Far as I'm aware, the mechanics of an Onager gauntlet aren't explained, so there's no way of knowing for certain.
What if Baby Sanguinius fused with a C'tan Shard and became a Cyber Angel that now powers the strongest Necron Weaponries
Which C'tan shard though? There's a few and all of them would be badass.
The void dragon mini would be perfect for this
@@andreacab1312 seems pretty straight forward
- take Void Dragon
- replace wings with feathery wings
- add glitch effects (like the main body) to said wings
- replace face with human face (preferably screaming in agony)
- remove tail
- maybe change weapon
@norikwiese8900 yeah, but pete never does things the straight forward way haha, cant wait to see what he will Cook for this project !
Id like to see this
I think Lorgar being raised by the Tau with the whole greater good replacing his god seeking would be a sight
What if Alpharius got assimilated by the Tyranids?
Now all of them are Alpharius
Hive Fleet Hydra Dominatus
One of the twins assimilated by the Nids, while the other leads them
I actually love the idea of the Hive Mind being Alph
Genestealer Cults would actually make even more sense.
That would be a very interesting build
This. This is such an amazing idea.
7:48 I love the Yu-Gi-Oh reference, but man that caught me so off guard, lol
I'd love to see Perturabo raised by a Kinhost of the Leagues of Votann. Their recent book goes more in depth of how important crafting is to their culture and I think he'd be a good fit (and maybe less depressed). I think having a primarch raised by an eccentric Necron could also be interesting and I'd love to see your take on it.
hell yeah, votann perturabo sounds sick!
Perturabo sucks and deserves no happiness, even in alternate speculative fiction. -t. Proud Son of Dorn
Fulgrim raised by Trazyn or better yet by Nemsor Zandrek who thinks he's just a Necrontier orphan.
@@noahmehringer29hahaha, that is a great idea
@@noahmehringer29 so the trazyn childhood would be, instead of becoming prideful over all that he has (great looks, tons of wealth, an army that follow his every command), he's ultra envious, wanting everything everyone else has. From jealousy to envy, huh, neat. (yes jealousy and envy are different things, look out up)
I like the attempt, and I do agree it may need a a little more Eldar in it. I think the biggest points I can critique is the lack of colour of both the cloak and armour, and the lack of identity of Curze himself. Perhaps making some of cloak (or all) bleached bone, and sculping hair coming out from being the helmet (to make it more like a mask) could push it that bit further forward.
My own personal take would be a little more brain-storming on the character he is and the what if scenario of being raised by Eldar. I feel that Curze would be an Eldar Warlock due to his Psychic ability with his path of the warrior taking him previously through the Warp Spider aspect. I can see him with a pair of death-spinner arms while wielding a pair of witchblades. It also allows you to introduce more red into the scheme, by flipping the usual Warp Spider scheme to have black armour and a red Jump Generator. Though I'm sure this would be a lot more work as you'd need a wraith guard/lord sized generator and death spinners.
@2:00 - Looking forward to the Lion El' Johnson kit-bash, where Pete starts off with the Lion El'Johnson kit.....
What if Lion el Johnson was raised by Lion el Johnson
Turn the lion into a watcher
@frostypineapple Aren't you a little tall to be a watcher said in Princess Leia voice
Tau-adopted Roboute would be great, I think. He'd definitely work well in a well-organised society with lots of trains and shipments to organise.
with the timeline discrepancy, it offers two interesting possibilities:
• the T'au evolved and became a faction away earlier, leading to increased influence on the eventual 41st millennium
• Guilliman didn't pop out of the warp until way later, a fresh naive little baby compared to his brothers
@@recurvestickerdragon Both of those are very interesting, I think. 40k seems to lack another 'civilised' superpower as the T'au are very definitively behind the Imperium in the normal canon and the Eldar are fairly non-interventionist (and everyone else is either insane or a monster). I think I'd prefer the second as it'd be a good way to show an in-timeline example of how a Primarch can supercharge a region's development.
Necron Ferrous Manus would be awesome! Considering he already had necrodermis Arms, it would totally fit!
All it would take for Necron Ferrus is for the tomb complex he crash-landed into being a bit more active and being taken in by the Overlord.
An entirely Necrodermis-covered body based off the Void Dragon shard could be particularly awesome.
idk that feels to obvious, maybe in pursuit of perfection, Fulcrum?
Belisarius Cawl has one of his hands and somehow started reanimation protocols. He can be our next loyalist primarch.
pretty sure he made that already
I'm sure that will turn out juuuust fiiiine, @@grelt2162, considering multiple previous attempts by his sons to resurrect or rebuild him have gone horribly awry
Poor Lion El’Johnson being turned into Curze again
A version of Mortarion who embraced his foster father on Barbaras. For inspiration, when I think of the overlords, I picture a genestealer patriarch in a ragged cloak for some reason.
Honestly I'd love for like an admech obcessed mortarion
T'au Gulliman! T'au Gulliman! T'AU GULLIMAN! Gulliman in a crazy battlesuit! I feel like the T'au philosophy of "everyone has their place, no matter how small" could be an interesting take, and while technically the timeline wouldn't match up, could you imagine a T'au race lead not by the Ethreals but by the greatest unifier of all the Primarchs?!
A version of Ferrus Manus raised by the Leagues of Votann or a Tau Guilliman would be cool
Yesss.
Weren't the Tau still banging rocks together during M31?
Tau Guilliman works so well its amazing
@@macewindu3492 yeah, that's why I'm cringing every time someone says something along those lines.
@someopinion To be fair, rock-banging Guilliman would be aesthetic AF. Go full agricultural revolution early bronze-age with this MF.
What about some of the lesser known races? Like perhaps Vulcan got raised by the Hrud, or Kahn getting raised by the Rak’Gol.
My only criticism would be that there's very little to shows it's Konrad.
he needed a main of black hair flowing out from under the helmet
personally I think keeping a bladed gauntlet weapon would have been the best shorthand for Kurze
You shall know him by the trail of the dead. 😄
Yeah I also thought that it kinda just looks like the lion with some eldar bits
@@recurvestickerdragon Or use those blades in like an Eldar version of a power claw.
Ferrus Manus did have hands coated in Necron metal, but Magnus would also making an interesting, but very different Necron primarch.
I had the same thought for Magnus. A Magnus raised to be seperated from the warp has so many potential design ideas. Some sort of Necron tech armour that controls or severes his psyker nature.
A Horus raised by the Kinebrach. He eventually becomes the ruler of the Interex. Roboute Guilliman could make an excellent base for the model.
That would make a great switcheroo, from Horus conquering the Interex under the Emperor's banner in one universe to defending them from his tyranny in another.
@aidan-h3p I was also thinking about Fulgrim raised by the Laar, but that's basically him now so....
I had the same thought I think it would be very good
My favourite primach, converted to my favourite faction by my kitbasher 😱 didn't realise it was my birthday lol. Great job he looks amazing ❤
Ye, you could make Roboutian Heresy Lion, who fell to Tzeentch, then you could make Dornian Heresy Lion as a dead body on a base for Luther kitbash...
Damn, this stuff just writes itself
@@magostarmus3705 the Dornian Heresy Lion Base would be amazing as an April fools video
I'd love to see more Aeldari kitbashes, this is really cool.
The Commander Farsight could provide Bits for a T'au Ptimarch.
Maybe some one like GUllieman or Fulgrim arrived before the rise of the ethereals and unified the T'au
Magnus unlocking the Tau's psychic potential and taking their rapid development in a whole new direction could also be cool
unfortunetly tau were still the equivelant of a gorilla back than
@ Simply an excuse for a cool feral primarch and his blue monke bros.
You could bend T'au lore a bit and have it be Vulkan. He'd jive well with the Greater Good philosophy, perhaps acting as an alternative source of the philosophy to the Etherials.
Vulcan leading a rebellion against the Ethereals alongside Farsight to achieve a TRULY Greater Good would be dope af. He and the Earth Caste would get along very well, and probably make a kickass grav-hammer for him to wield. The Coldstar kit is about the same size as the Lion'El kit, scale-wise.
That Yu-Gi-Oh meme at 7:42 had me in stitches
10/10 chapter marker. Pals for life approved.
Ok, I know the T'au are a bit late to the party, but can you imagine a world where a Primarch landed on a primitive T'au world and took the place of or among the Aetherials?
I've often wondered about Guilliman specifically tutoring Farsight, even more interesting if Puretide is still kept in the mix as well.
Xeno Primarchs? Very nice!
Love the idea of the nids picking up Lemon Russ and using him as a template to replace the swarmlord
Genestealer cult esk
Votann Dorn would be really cool
I need more lore for this "What If Konrad Was Raised By The Eldar", I krave it.
Man if this is the level of output, I can't wait for the next ones you do!
My humble suggestions would be:
- Russ from Genestealer Cult (or just Genestealers/'nids, as maybe the Cults didn't exists yet in the 30k 'vers?)
- Corax as a Dark Eldar
- Ferrus Manus as a Necro (too obvious?)
- Magnus from the Kharve?
- Lion or Vulcan as a Kinebrach?
- Alpharius as a Laer? Maybe Logar?
I got some Ideas
"Sanguinius the Black Angel" - raised by Vect as his little perfect goth angel. His compassion and greatness in all matters twisted into cruelty and being the alpha predator of Commorragh
"Mortarion the Sorcerer King of Barbarus" - Mortarion never stopped serving his xeno adoptive father. Instead, he became intoxicated by the dark arts. We don't know much about the xenos of Barbarus but that means you could go nuts!
"Corax the Carrion Patriarch" - raised by genestealer cult corax became a freedom fighter just as in normal lore. the freedom being the right to be eaten by Tyranids.
"Perturabo the worst CEO in the galaxy" - While others also proposed it I do agree Votar Raised Perturabo fits very well. Technological aptitude is one thing but Votan cyberpunk esque corporate themes merged with Perturabo's ruthless efficiency would see the great ancestors shareholders very happy with profit charts.
Ferrus Manus raised by Squats (Not Votann) sounds like a cool idea and good fit, ultimately becoming a sort of god-like, almost machine god among them, leading them to be able to ultimately defend against the Tyranids and keep them from being squatted!
Also Lorgar not being raised by, but being possessed by one of the C'tan would be interesting. I could see the lost primrch with his need to believe and to find the divine, leading him on his own cosmicquest that ultimately leads to a C'tan are a shard that possesses him.
Squats are Votann at the moment lol
@@Commandocheif99 sort of. They way they have meshed old lore and new lore it makes it sound morel iek the Squats were Votann who sort of broke off to do their own thing.
At any rate, we're talking alternate history and timelines so really it's dealer's choice as to what bits of lore you use.
@@Commandocheif99 Oh, and for me personally, the Votann will never truly be a worthy replacement for actual Squats.
I think it'd be cool if Sanguinius got assimilated by the Tyranids, mainly because I wanna see what kind of terrifying bioform he'll be turned into.
As counterintuitive as it might seem; Votann Fulgrim might be a good combo, given the clean LoV aesthetics, Fulgrim’s canon childhood, and his soon-to-be-released mini.
An idea could be Lorgar being raised by the genestealers and maybe becoming their new patriarch through some biophagus experimentation.
Lorgars scripture tattoos on a genestealer cranium would be lit.
Would be cool to see sangy ending up on a exodite world or maybe fulgrim now that would be epic haha
So this is why I can't get a Lion'El Johnson kit to this day.
Amazing conversion, great aesthetic snd backstory that provides a nice contrast to canon Kurze (and gives him an upbringing that actually. Deals with his visions. Poor bastard)
Other ideas for xenos-raised primarchs:
Magnus, with a necron lord who regrets their bio-transference. Magnus believes he can help with his warp abilities and find a way to return the necrons their souls.
Guilliman with the Tau but since they werent unified by the ethereals yet, he fills that role. Lo-tech Tau in essence
Vulkan, but with the Hrud. Can't die permanently of old age.
Lion El'Johnson on Eldar Maiden world. Dino Sir'Johnson (also kinda fits the knight aesthetic ig? Riding dragons instead of slaying em tho)
Ferrus Manus with a Jokaero family unit, travelling the stars and raiding for bits of tech the family's matriarch wants. A real mama's boy.
Aside from that, I'm also throwing my hat in with the Leman Russ kroot crew crowd, aswell as for Votann Perturabo, Harlequin Lorgar, and Drukhari Corax to be a foil for Kurze/Korumm-Tain
Votann Vulkan Sounds like such a perfect fit!
I came to say the exact same thing!! 🦎
A neat idea could be two primaries being raised together, maybe down and purtorabo being raised by a large of voltan?
alright this might be crazy but, what if magnus was raised by an old one, the only one that managed to escape the enslaver plague by creating a spell so strong that the old one was able to move 60 million years to the future to avoid it's death in the hands of the warp death.
Id love a tau Girlyman but i know they didn't exist in the 30k era. Maybe move he got stuck in his pod for 10k years and they found him.
Eldar Curze was my biggest Wish after watching your Angron Video so seeing this makes me super happy
Up next Tau Guilliman based on the Farsight Mini for next week before returning to a Lion Kitbash the Week after?
This takes place Great Crusade era, Tau don't yet exist.
@someopinion first of all through the warp all things are possible
Whos to say the Universe cant go long enough for Guillimans stasis pod to be delayed by warp shenanigans and plop him on the Tau world in M34 (i think thats the earliest point where we know the tau exist)?
By this point Angron, Curze and others would already be established figures making Guilliman (much like the Tau among the races) the upstart among his brothers
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your lore for Korum-Tainn. Coming from someone who is themself quite an amaturish writer, it can be very nervewracking to share something you've created and aren't fully confident in. Regardless, I very much enjoyed hearing your short story and take on the "What If" scenario for Aeldari Conrad Kurze. You did great! Regarding the model itself, it looks quite good from the front and has plenty of detail, but the back is rather bare and doesn't have the same sort of Aeldari feel to it. Im not 100 percent sure what you could have added or done differently, and im sorry for that. Overall, you've done quite well, and this is another amazing addition to your aternate scenario world. I'd personally love to hear more lore from you regarding your kitbashes and custom builds!
Tau Fulgrim with the farsight sword
Konrad Kurze ending up in Aelindrach as a baby, and essentially becoming a mandrake primarch might be neat. He’s probably end up way, way more evil than canon Konrad Kurze, which is saying something. And the idea of a semi-feral Konrad Kurze with mandrake powers is absolutely terrifying. He would be a terror of the Dark City with a legendary reputation. They say he’s one of the only things the mandrakes of Aelindrach fear. The only one who they obey without question. They say the mandrakes view him as their king, and that he wears the skins of other mandrakes who disobeyed him as a cloak. He has a sixth sense for things too. Premonitions, visions of what might be. Uses the bones and entrails of a farseer as a focus.
His services cost a great deal, but his reputation is absolutely deserved. They say the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue was wiped out in a single night. Everyone body their fortress had been skinned and decapitated, or was vanished entirely. Many were frozen solid by the cold balefire of the mandrakes. The Archon was missing. No one knows what happened to him.
This has got to be my favourite conversion of yours... 10/10
'It's my channel... if I want to make every kit from the Lion El Johnson kit I will. Welcome to the Lion El Johnson channel...' had me cracking up tbh!
Sick
Perturabo or Vulkan raised by the Kinn. Corvus by the Drukhari. Genestealer Lorgar, Primarch of the Star gods. Necron El'Jonson the Soulclaimer
Corvus Corax - Khrave (Psyker Werebats of the Ghoul Stars),
Alpharius & Omegon - Laer (Reptilian Race from the ocean world of Laeran who worshipped Slaanesh),
Roboute Guilliman - Megarachnids (Weather Contolling Sentient Spiders of Planet Murder),
Rogal Dorn - Leagues of Votann,
Magnus the Red - Drukhari,
Leman Russ - Nicassar (Psyker Werebears allied with the Tau),
Perturabo - Necrons (Specifically the Flayed King and the Flayer Virus Necrons),
Ferrus Manus - Rak'Gol (Marauders of the Halo Stars),
Sanguinius - Enslavers (Warp Entities),
Lorgar - Grell (Chaos God Malice Worshipping Xenos),
Horus Lupercal - Hrud (Temporaferrox/Troglydium Hrudii the Chronomantic/phagic Time Xenos),
Fulgrim - Norn Emissary (Tyranids of Hive Fleet Tiamat),
Vulcan - Barghesi (Grendi Stars),
Mortarion - Drugh (Large, worm-like intelligent xenos species that lived on the world of Pyrus I),
Lion El'Johnson - Zoat (Ancient, reptilian and centauroid alien species that was enslaved or specially engineered as bioconstructs by the Tyranids),
Jaghatai Khan - Umbra (Live in the void of space & are fragments of the cosmic entity known as Qah).
Ive gotta say i dont think the Tau will be a good option for this series since they are so primitive for the Horus Heresy period, but on that note a semi-feral pair of exodite Jaghatai khan and Leman Russ riding dinosaurs would be METAL.
he looks like he is getting ready to duel using yugioh cards
We need a Yugioh battle between a Grey Knight with the Emperor's Tarot and Cegorach with a fat stack of humorously illustrated jokers.
Drukhari Corvus Corax could be fun
Drukari Vulkan.
This is a great suggestion.
I absolutely love the story you came up with! I wonder if we have enough Xenos factions for all the primarchs...
I would love to see you expand to non-playable or niche factions, like Exodites, Hrud, or Tau Auxilliaries like Kroot.
Genstealer Cult Magnus, where his psychic might merges with the hive mind and his consious mind becomes intergalactic, maybe he received the genestealers kiss as a child, but then grew to lead entire an entire planet of GSC humans and an entire hive fleet
Could be built with the Demon Magnus and Norn Emissary kit
Perturabo raised by Tau
Leman Russ raised by Harlequins (Purely for a "Exit Persued by Wolfen" Shakespeare joke)
came here to say Perturabo raised by the kin of the Leagues of Votann, but lots of folk already said that haha. But his armor could be smoothed down and his weapons made to look a bit more Dwarfish, his horus herasy model could work well for it but Idk if any of the 40k models would work for such a conversion, maybe the lion again?
I love how every somewhat believable alternate background you can come up with for Curze is infinitely more positive than his canon one.
As for a suggestion for more xeno-primarch slashfic, imagine if Alpharius and Omegon was adopted by the T'au Ethereal caste.
This has to be one of the sickest kitbashes I've ever seen
A Harlequin Alpharius would sure be a key Player.
Can i ironically request a horus raised by the interex?
This is probably my favorite conversion so far, beautifully done.
I absolutely love this and want to see a Robute raised by Tau now. Thank you for the amazing inspiration!!!!
Love this background story, it's the best part of conversions. Is having a reason something is as it is! Also a great conversion that I was a bit skeptical of tbh. But listening to lore and looking on it grew on me, thinking of it more as a wraith knight more then a warrior really helped sell it
Personally, I would love a drukhari raised corax but my fav things would be:
1. A necron raised Ferrus Manus
Or
2. A Beast snagga type thing where leman russ and the space wolves have captured and wrangled tyranids to be their mounts. Imagine Leman Russ charging you on a carnifex, that kind of thing.
Love your content, keep up the good work! :D
Mortarion would make for an amazing necron tomb crawler. Like imagine him being lost on an ancient tomb world all alone with the only living things around him being soulless necrons who lay dormant until being reborn to the primarch.
I'm in love with this series!
I would love to see a Leagues of Votann Ferrus Manus!
I would personally think it interesting to see Fulgrim picked up in necron society, given the serpent shape it's new model has, maybe they could have tried to merge its DNA and body with a bunch of machines/ wraith-like beings and scarabs to further research how to reaquire their precious bodies?
I also have a Xenos focused alternate universe and the Primarch/Xenos Pairings in that are
Corvus Corvax- Genestealer Cults. Was infected as a baby and grew up to become the leader of a huge cult, eventually tries to kill The Emperor to use the astronomicon to call the hive mind.
Roboute Guilliman - Tau, acts as a right hand to the ethereal caste and seeks to spread the greater good
Angron- Orks, got a head injury, had a piece of ork tech shoved in their and saw a vision that he would lead a gold army, when he met Emps he thought he'd lead him to that so joined him, eventually got bored and when fighting orks on armageddon he let out a waaargh, and turned upon his Legion, he and the orks slaughtered them and salvaged their gold power armour and began fighting across the galaxy in a great waaargh.
Conrad Curze- Drukhari, got adopted as a gladiator and became so feared and beloved he slowly rose threw the ranks of a great house
Magnus-Exodite Aldari, spent much of his life hiding the maiden world from the imperium but when he found out about Corvax's plan he tried to warn the emperor, placing the galaxy ahead of his home, Emps ignored it and sent the space wolves to recover magnus and cleanse the maiden world, Magnus escaped and returned with an army mostly made up of wraithbone constructs and surviving farseers
The Khan- Craft world aldari, not written much about him
Sanguinius- The abhuman messiah, leads an army of Mutants and beastmen
Perterabo- Leagues of Votann, does some mercenary work for the other factions, has a grudge against Rogal Dorn, not much written about him either.
Ferrus Manus- C'tan, when fighting the dragon he communed with it rather than killing it, it offered to lead his people to strength, immortality, and unbreakable bodies, Ferrus bound himself to the shard with necrodermis and sought out more shards of C'tan, has his hand cut off and the shard take by Fulgrim, and then beats Fulgrim into a coma with his other hand
Oh and Mortarion dies to Corvus in this setting when Corvus tries to infect him and finds out you can't infect an adult primarch, or it was just Mortarion toughness
The idea of an aeldari raised primarch is actually really cool
Hear me out, a young Mortarion (or maybe even Corax), the only primarch to land on a human inhabited world, finds himself shielded from the planet's oppressors by the caring arms of a wayward genestealer's congregation.
Also Lorgar could be a hell of a water caste diplomat
Honestly Pete, as an avid reader, I saw nothing wrong with your lore section. I loved it.
The Xeno Scattering (As I've been calling it in my head at least) is still such an awesome concept. So consider this my suggestion!
Ferrus Manus with the T'au. And yes, I fully understand that the T'au are an extremely young race, and thus weren't even around when the Primarchs were originally scattered, but I think that's the beauty of it. It's less that Ferrus Manus was adopted by the T'au, and more that the T'au were adopted by Ferrus Manus.
The T'au race slowly evolving on their planet, stories spreading across their history of the World Titan, the Mountain Lord, the Wandering One. A mysterious hermit who wandered the world. He was rarely approached, but when he did he would challenge those bold enough to seek him out. Only through challenge and conflict could they receive a boon, a reward of knowledge or training, or a glorious artifact. During the time of the Mont'au, at the siege of Fio'taun, the strange hermit stepped forth between to great siege, challenging the champions of both sides and defeating them with ease. He took command of the T'au, determined to take this young, budding race under his guidance, to take these warring tribes and cities and forge from them into a mighty empire that learned from each conflict, that improved under each failure, and that would seek the greatness he felt they deserved.
Basically think a sort of Merlin-esque mystery figure of T'au legend who, after watching this race grow and evolve from basically nothing, decides that all their fighting and bickering must end, so he takes command. Instead of the gentle and peaceful guidance of the overbearing Ethereals, Ferrus Manus wishes for the T'au to always seek challenges and try to improve themselves, to learn from each failure and mistake to become a true and glorious empire.
I think it'd be neat! And the heavy emphasis Ferrus Manus has on technology and forge-craft would be a perfect fit with the rapid technological evolution of the T'au themselves, and the heavily Samurai-esque Bushido sort of creed that the T'au have fits well with Ferrus Manus' dedication to improvement, challenge, and competition.
Lorgar landing on a Tau world and being raised under the ideas of the greater good would be a cool one to see - he'd still be preaching something the empire aren't keen on but a lot less spikes and flaying I'd bet
A Tau-raised Peterabo would be neat, since they were in their infancy when the primarchs were lost, he could use his inventive nature to help them become a star-faring race without being forced to make weapons.
This is a fantastic kitbash, as always with you! One thing that might help make it even more Eldar would be rounding out the sharp edges on the shin and forearm armor bits, to give it the more organic Eldar look.
Great concept, I love it.
I could see Leman Russ, Rogal Dorn, Pertuarabo, Magness or Fulgrim being a fun Tau build. Landing in the infancy of the race and shaping it would be a completely different outcome.
Fulgrim with the Harlequins, playing Slaanesh to fight the tide would be a dynamic twist.
This is especially nice choice, as Kurze was wearing an eldar spirit stone when he died. So he's possibly still technically alive in there, and could be put in a wraith construct haha.
I think a Harlequins or Exodites Magnus would be super interesting! The Aeldari are, by far, the most psychic race (that matters) in the galaxy- so having them adopt Magnus just makes sense to me. And, since the Drukhari can't really use their psykers and the craftworlds already have a primarch, the Harlequins snatching him as a part of Cegorach's plan or the exodites adopting him and teaching him the old ways could be really cool!
I also think Ferrus Manus for the Necrons, Perturabo for Votann and Sanguinius as a mortal follower of Khorne could all be super cool.
(Also this video makes me want to make this conversion and make an army of aeldari night lords using dark angels rules)
Thank you for the awesome video! I have wanted to do an Aeldari themed Primarch for my 2nd lost Primarch and this build is a great bases for that!
This one actually makes a lot of sense. Not for 40k, because being raised by Eldrad is probably the best thing that could have happened to Konrad, but from a sensible faction assignment perspective. Kurze would probably have been mega OP with Farseer control.
I am obsessed with the idea of a Necron raised Rogal Dorn. The man would be the champion of the material plain.
The few that come to mind for me are, Jaghatai raised by the kroot, as they would still idolize the same nomadic Hunter and apex predator vibes at the white scars had on their home planet. Perturabo raised by the tau, as he could utilize their advanced technology and they would better utilize his peaceful designs which he tried to implement on his homeworld. He would also enjoy the lack of open arguing over politics and war. Ferrus Mannus could also be decent with the tau, but it would really be interesting to see him raised by either the necrons who utilize the cold, calculating efficiency he is known for or vashtorr (even though he's not really a xenos) which could twist his desire for advancement.
The unhinged moment about going full lion based and the quick Yu-Gi-Oh reference were so great moment, totally in contrast with the calm and controlled tone of the channel, loved it! It ads a lovely pinch of salt 🧂
Y'know, all jokes aside, I'd totally watch a whole series where you do nothing but customize the Lion El'Jonson model into absolutely everyone.
You certainly achieved the effect you aimed for! Love how it looks.
Love the lore! It would be great to see something like this for more of your stuff its really cool!
Got a few ideas: Exodite Perturabo - If one of his reasons for being so broody & paranoid was being able to see the Eye of Terror when no else could, putting him with a race we'll equipped to teach about it would help. Plus, Perturabo on a dino sounds cool. Tau Lorgar - still a heretic preacher, but now preaching for the Greater Good! Necron/C'tann Magnus - Matching spooky undead Egyptian themes. Tyranid/Genestealer Mortarion- see new Hermiatus character for an idea for possibilities, plus sticking the anti-psyker primarch with the anti-psyker faction fits. Votann Vulkan- the Smith with the space dwarves.
Forgot one, Corsair Fulgrim- Space pirates with one of the best swordsmen, plus pairs well being the free-spirited Corsair Fulgrim to the stagnant Exodite Perturabo.
How about instead of “Primarch raised by aliens”, what about “Primarchs being raised by different human cultures”? For example: what would a primarch raised on world that would one day be famed for their Imperial Guard regiment or Forge Worlds? How about by a Knight House? Alternatively, maybe swap around the home world of certain Primarchs. Some examples:
Corax on Catachan
Russ on Vostrtoya
Lorgar on Lucius
Mortarian on Metallica
Fulgrim on Molech
Vulcan on Dragon’s End
Sanguinius on Prospero
Purterabo on Medusa
I have one: Perturabo as a Leagues of Votann Primarch. Hell, this could even go with Perturabo actually being found, but ultimately treated like shit similar to his regular 40K counterpart, so he leaves and comes across the Votann and they (for whatever reason) start seeing him as kin. An equal. Someone who deserves respect. Not respect in the sense of people fearing his power, but respect in that they respect his craftmanship.
