What Was Malcador's Relationship With Each Primarch Like? | Warhammer 40k Lore

Minis are Farsight Enclave? Japanese and an official faction that could just be made by painting tau in the right color scheme without fully dedicated models?

"Be careful not to... choke on your aspirations, Warmaster." - Malcador using Force Choke on Horus.

Malcador force choking Horus and calling him a child is my single greatest piece of lore in the setting

Vulkan: Hug me! Malcador: Please don’t my old man spine. Vulkan: HUGGING! Malcador: MY SPINE IS NOW DUST!

Malcador is like Krillin of DBZ. He's technically the greatest natural born human but he gets slept on cause a lot of the people he hangs out with are actual demi-gods.

To be fair, with how secretive both Malcador and Alpharius were, it's entirely possible each of them sent a coded message of "I love you uncle/nephew" in each conversation they had, and no one else noticed because of who was sending and receiving the messages.

Malcador and Russ playing their last game of chess together before their final goodbye was heartbreaking during the heresy.

Malcador didn’t get too close to Vulkan because he knew Vulkan would wish to hug him and his spine shudders at the very concept.

9:11 Magnus was not a daemon yet. That is why he was able to enter the Imperial Palace where the psychic wards had no effect on him. It was only after Magnus’ fight with Vulkan that he ascended and was jettisoned out of the palace.

Horus wishes Malcador just force choked him. Malcador was pulling apart the threads of reality of his mind, body, and soul. That scene and that "I Will Un Make You." line should never be reduced to a mere force choke Imho. Also shows humanity reaching near it's psychic potential makes Primarchs look like bitches. No wonder the Emperor wanted the webway above most else, not just safe travel for mankind currently but a possible refuge from the storms of a mass human psychic awakening as part of a future evolutionary jump.

I like how the missing primarchs get a new story explaining their disappearance everytime you bring them up!

Surprised there hasn't been a majorkill video focusing on Sevetar considering how much of a beast he seems to be.

I saw this one suggested alot, glad you saw it! A video on how each primarch would react to the modern imperium if they were in Guillimans place would definitely be great too!

From the description of his relationship with Perturabo, imagine the changes that could have come from Malcador giving Perturabo a few sincere at'taboys to show appreciation for his works.

We need a Malcador follow up video, dude low-key is one of the best heresy era characters

Well, as far as Fulgrim is concerned... Malacador literally sent a "spy" to oversee the whole conquest of Bysas by the Emperor's Children. (Best Character in the book by the way) Their first mission without Horus. Fulgrim understood clearly what were the stakes. That's also why he tried and "succeed" in conquering this wolrd with only 5 Space Marines.

9:25 Imagine if Magnus and Malcador are the DMs in a tabletop game campaign with Big E and the Primarchs together.

I remember back in the early days of the Horus Heresy books there was a fan theory that Malcador was really the emperor and what people perceived to be the emperor was a psychic projection by Malcador

Maybe this is just me wanting more of the Farsight Enclaves, but I am guessing the Farsight Enclaves. I know they are a subfaction rather than their own, but there aren't really any models for the Enclaves, and Farsight is a rarity at the moment. From the stuff you showed, and described, it also fits for the Enclaves.

Malcador and Khan have a funny relationship to me. Malcador had to be a mediator between Khan and Big E and Malcador was uncertain was very amusing and just gives Khan more points into how cool he is.
