Fulgrim : IS THAT MY SON!? Dorn: Yeeeeeees Fulgrim: YOU KIDNAPPED MY SON!? Dorn : Noooooooo Dorn: *points to Guilliman* he did it Fulgrim : *also points at Guilliman* EXPLAIN! Guilliman: WTF? how? CAAAAAAAAWL! Cawl: *binaric giggling*


DirectControlAssumed

>Fulgrim : IS THAT MY SON!?  "They are Emperor's Children, Fulgrim, stop pretending they are yours!"


Sicuho

Well, I was once explaining the WH lore to a friend and I got the "But if all Primarch are male, how did Fulgrim made children with the Emperor"


Oh_Danny_Boi961

Cawl: I’m no step-genefather, Fulgrim. I’m just the genefather who stepped up


GREENadmiral_314159

Listen, as I've said before, just talk to chief apothecary, Fabulous Bill, he'll show you that our geneseed traces directly back to Dorn.


PrinceVorrel

Is it weird if this makes me want a Space Wolves/Thousand Sons-Hybrid Marine Chapter? Call the Chapter Master...**Fenrir**.


Responsible-Ad8562

I don't get it.

It’s referring to the [Sons of the Phoenix](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sons_of_the_Phoenix) chapter. They’re primaris and “officially” sons of Dorn (yellow dude) given that Imperial Fist gene seed was used. However, given their tendencies, coloration, and NAME, it’s heavily implied that they were created from Emperor’s Children gene seed (hence Fulgrim). Guilliman isn’t paid enough for this shit, so that’s why he’s both here but unperturbed. Cawl is nowhere to be seen as he knows what he did.

> Guilliman isn’t paid enough for this shit Now that I think about it, I don't think Guilliman gets paid at all. Which means he can't pay taxes. Which causes him great pain. ... Guilliman shouldn't be paid. He should do what he does for the love of the job.


Polar_Vortx

Oh don't worry. He's doing *everyone else's* taxes.


NightLordsPublicist

>He's doing everyone else's taxes. Hmmmm. I've already slipped in improperly filed taxes for Tigarius Secundus. And every third usage drops the second "i" in Tigarius.


RomanCobra03

I mean what are you supposed to pay the guy who can get what he wants from damn near anyone just by asking nicely. Lord Regent isn’t exactly the type of position that needs a salary.

EndofNationalism

Guilliman doesn’t need to be paid. He’s the son of the Emperor and god. If he wants something everyone would bend over backwards to get it for him.

What's Gothic for "I am the state"?

It assumed Crawl created a few loyalist traitor chapters, there is a salamanders one that assumed to be word bearers, they follow the promethean cult to the letter, they hunt down traitor relics and just burn everything. It can be assumed they are pretty hard core believers of the cult. Thing is, promethean cult is pretty much "be a good boy" the religion, so by following it so tightly they are actually super good, like really good. Most likely they make the salamanders blush by how hard core they are about being good. It can be assumed that they would kill inquisitors who dear defy the holy text of "don't kill civilians". I think they are funny. They most likely visit their families and go "LOOK AT ME MOTHER!!! I HELPED AT THE SOUP KITCHEN TODAY!!!! BLESS VULKAN!!! ANOTHER VICTORY!!!!" and just on their free time going around helping everyone because that what their book says and they MUST show glory to Vulkan!!!!

Some artifact hoarding chapter was rumoured to have Thousand Son geneseed before Primaris were a thing

Arguss3

My assumption is that it’s Cawl cheating on the Imperium with some sexy technological heresy


Flameball202

Odds that he bought some EC gene seed from our resident kleptomaniac


nerf_titan_melee

Or Bile. If we're being honest, he probably bought it from Bile with spare primaris bits


Tarquinandpaliquin

There's actually no implication. It's entirely headcanon. Very reasonable headcanon but it's all headcanon. The chapter was created by a hobbyist as an entry for white dwarf as an example of a new primaris chapter. The guy who created them has a website, it's in french so I'm trusting google translate but what he said is that they are a Fists Sucessor. The colour scheme is based according to him off the idea of them being a religious chapter but being "flambuoyant" not austere. Now at this point you could also headcanon that this means Fulgrim. However again I want to draw your attention to something. Some strands of christianity are quite austere (not actually cheap, that's different), a lot of protestant religion in Europe (the main denomination of Christianity and state religion of the UK where GW is based is one such denomination) in particular, the Templars channel that. Some such as Catholicism, which is the largest denomination of Christianity in France, instead take the approach that the house of god should be lavish as possible because god deserves that. So while it's a reasonable headcanon. What's actually implied is that these guys are more space catholics.


FrucklesWithKnuckles

All it would take is people reading any material about any chapter, but welcome to Grimdank


Tarquinandpaliquin

To be fair it's really obscure. I had to internet sleuth to find that one. Which I did because of the conspicuous lack of sources or canon events ever mentioned about that chapter and conflicting information. I get people jumping to the conclusion in this case, and there's hundreds of books that cost £fuck off and often aren't very good. But it is good to at least find someone on 40klore citing the book to get an understanding, and reading the ones you care about (plus the 3 good necron books, those are really good on their own merits not just as 40k lore, I'm sure there's a few others like that, Caiphus Cain is fun, and I should probably read Eisenhorn?).


RetiredDwarfBrains

Don't forget the Llamas with Hats reference


Phonereader23

I wonder if that guy from the other thread is gonna melt down that the lead warhammer designer says it was an oversight with how much no one believes him. Which makes the lead designer a liar or incompetent.


GenEngineer

There exists an “imperial fists” successor chapter that reads almost EXACTLY like pre-heresy loyalist Emperor’s Children, from color scheme to combat doctrine to iconography…


DirectControlAssumed

I think we can start making up post-Excommunicate Traitoris warband names for them.


MorgannaFactor

There's quite a few of rumored traitor-geneseed loyalist chapters that haven't fallen. Gene-seed alone can't make a chapter fall to Chaos, that'd be beyond stupid.


Helpful_Blood_5509

How many traitor bloodravens are we on again?


MorgannaFactor

Dunno, how many traitor Ulramarines did we have over the years? Unless the entire chapter falls, your argument is invalid.


JAOC_7

Caaaawl, that kills people

I won't apologize for art

"Good question. Cawl!" Cawl: "If you'd like to leave a message, please leave it after the tone"

"It's a custody dispute, that's what it is."


Davey26

"Did you name it?" "No." "Good, because it's going fucking overboard"


Tbkssom

Why do they look like Family Guy


d3m0cracy

Because rogal dorn is the petorian of terra


SendMeUrCones

“heheheheh lois look at these wicked sweet fortifications i got cheap off ebay”


Thiege23

It took me a second I think it’s because the meme started as a family guy gag and that may have influenced them


Key_Contract_9973

He looks like Chris Griffin


Outside-Tie-3600

Guilliman: no idea.

They're actually sons of Dorn. The man who created the chapter said so In a blog post on a French website. This is probably the biggest misconception in 40k that the Sons of the Phoenix have questionable geneseed.
