Why Roboute?

>>52977092
Because unlike the other two he is the only mother fucker other then emps thar people KNOWS where he is

Alright, while that's true, that doesn't explain why they (GW) didn't just have Russ or one of the other Primarchs currently MIA in the Warp pop out due to the entire debacle at Cadia.

>>52977204
Pretty much this. Anyone want to place bets on the next one to return? My vote is Dorn.

>why DID they pick Roboute to awaken?
they wanted a character that solves problems in ways other than hitting them with his sword

>Over mother fucking Dorn, the greatest living son of the Emperor

Didn't Dorn kinda... die? I mean, if we're going to count corpses as potential comebacks, why not Sanguinius?

>>52977092
He's basically the Bureacratic Primarch, his specialty is organization and he actually knows how to run a government. GW wanted someone who can start "fixing" the imperium so "the end times" aren't a foregone conclusion.

The other surviving primarchs will probably show up in the next book.

Nobody found Dorn's corpse, just his hand. And Vulkan sort of confirms he's alive in an off-hand statement in the Beast.

It was either him or Dorn. The rest can't manage an empire for shit.

>>52977572
I fell out of my chair laughing at that, you bastard.

But is it really so hard to believe that with so much upheaval in the Warp, one of the Primarchs lost in it might just... sorta appear?

>>52977498

Yeah but what's an Imperial Fist without his fist?

>>52977945
Nah, it's better this way. Now he's an Imperial Fist instead of an Imperial Fists.

>>52977955

I'll accept that that if he replaces it with a construction tool

My estimates on the chances of the other loyalist primarchs have of returning
Russ-100%
Lion-100%
Vulkan-95%
Dorn-80%
Khan-50%
Corax-50%
Ferrus Manus-2%
Sanguinius-2%

>>52977945
He has a spare fortunately. And it would find itself deep in the posterior of the enemies of mankind, clad in a consecatrix-pattern power fist. unlubed

Naturally they'll trot out everyone'e favorite Primarch, Corvus Corax.
I looked it up and hes actually lost in the Warp and not dead or locked in a closet like I thought.

>>52978178
I have never seen a more beakish nose, Jesus Christ that's terrifying. What do the Ravens even do, typically? I'm not all that fresh on 40K, I'm pretty new to the whole deal.

>>52978235
They fly

>>52978235
they do sneaky, hit and run,style combat.

>>52978235
They do gorilla warfare and die.

>>52978235
>What do the Ravens even do, typically?
All their doctrine centers around staying hidden.

>>52977092

because the Imperium needs a bureaucrat who can fix 10,000 years of red-tape and fuckery more than it needs a another warrior.

>>52977092
They outright stated that Russ would just flip his fucking shit when he saw what happened to the Imperium and start killing everything he considered wrong until something finally managed to take him out.

Wanting Lemon Yiff the furry faggot of the space yiffs

>>52977092
Actual competence at governance, which is what the Imperium needs the most right now. They have the power to crush just about any threat, they need someone who knows how to bring it to bear.

An Iron Hand.

This mostly >>52978300
While saving the butts of their more bullheaded cousins from and being bros about it. Seriously almost all the stories staring the Raven Guard end up with them being thrown in an impossible position, die mass and or win through pure skill and edge. Then walking away without so much of a complain. Fucking space ninjas man.

Because BobbyG has biggest penis known to Eldar as "Burning Sword".

>>52977092

He's the only primarch with abilities to reorganize and rule the IoM

>>52978235
They use a lot of scouts and jump units.

>>52978235
They hide, then they stop hiding to use their jump packs and get into assault.
Then they die.

>>52977979
Why is Sanguinius not 100% you fucking heretic?

>>52979181
He's dead, Jim.

Vulkan next, please. I want my Salamanders to get their own codex and having Vulkan would pretty much guarantee it.
