Frequently asked questions
How many Primarchs are there?
Twenty were created; two were expunged from all records, leaving eighteen known Primarchs —
all of whom appear in this quiz.
Are the results canon?
No — it’s a personality match for fun, based on each Primarch’s established character.
Which Primarchs were loyal and which were traitors?
Nine of the eighteen known Primarchs stayed loyal: Lion El’Jonson, Jaghatai Khan, Leman Russ, Rogal Dorn, Sanguinius, Ferrus Manus, Roboute Guilliman, Vulkan and Corax. The other nine joined Horus in the Horus Heresy: Fulgrim, Perturabo, Horus, Lorgar, Konrad Curze, Angron, Mortarion, Magnus and Alpharius. The quiz includes all eighteen, so you could match with either side.
Who are the two missing Primarchs?
The II and XI Primarchs were struck from Imperial records long before the Horus Heresy, along with their Legions. Their names, appearances and fates have never been revealed, and Games Workshop has said it will keep it that way. That’s why the quiz scores across eighteen Primarchs rather than twenty.
Which Primarchs are still alive in Warhammer 40k?
Two loyalists have returned in the current era: Roboute Guilliman and Lion El’Jonson. Several traitor Primarchs survive as daemon princes, including Angron, Fulgrim, Magnus and Mortarion. Horus, Sanguinius, Ferrus Manus and Konrad Curze are dead, and the fates of others such as Leman Russ, Jaghatai Khan, Corax and Vulkan remain a mystery.
