Horus is just lucky the chaos gods gave him a steroid cocktail- normal Horus would get stomped by Sanguinius.
I look forward to Dante murdering Abbadon as revenge in the modern era.
Sanguinius was the best primarch fighter. Even Russ said in Wolfsbane that he could of never beaten the Angel in combat
the whole reason Angron was recruited by Horus and Lorgar was that they believed Angron was the only one that could match Sanguinius, other than Horus himself

Newcomer to the Warhammer lore here. Does games workshop have an online version of black library for all books? Something like what Marvel and DC have for their comics with a sub? How is there digital is their service?
No, currently they sell epubs of their books on their website or at any digital bookstore. No subscriptions to their books.
I believe they have most of the Horus Heresy and their other novels for digital distribution on Black Library- but you'll pay a pretty penny for them.
Many of the books are slowly being released on Amazon for Kindle and on Audible. That's where I've been going.
Seige of Terra books are about to start which are the 10 last books in the Horus Heresy series
is the scale right here with Dorn?
i mean yes Primarchs are vastly more powerful than regular astartes, but in terms of height they are only a few inches taller

There is only one rule involving the consistency of height among Space Marines and Primarchs....and that's that there is no consistency among Space Marines and Primarchs.
No. Not really. Astartes to Primarch is roughly the same difference as regular human to Astartes. But this rule doesn't apply to every Primarch. There is big variety in Primarch height. For example Alpharius is said to be roughly the same size as a Space Marine, while Magnus and Vulkan tower over the rest of the Primarchs.Seige of Terra books are about to start which are the 10 last books in the Horus Heresy series

Custodes are the ones slightly larger than Astartes.
That said the art can be inconsistent in regards to height.
but in terms of raw power they are much more powerful it seems
like 1 primarch= 3 or 4 astartes essentially
How about Primaris? :p
(Just getting caught up finally with the Dark Imperium novel - Cawl/Cawl Inferior sound like Telok/Galatea. :|

Um, way way more than 3 or 4 Astartes. Primarchs are practically unkillable gods. They only seem to die when facing an equal level threat or when they want to.
Reminder that the Forgeworld models of Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus are designed to go to gether and Manus's head is designed to be chopped off.
so do we all agree he was a terrible father?
More of an absentee one. Some of his decisions were questionable (Angron, Kurz), but his kids were also a mixed bag.
Angron should have been killed or left to die if big E wasn't going to help him and his slave friends in their last stand. He had the custodes with him...and just chose to teleport Angron away so he could watch his friends die.
For someone who has been around forever, he's terrible at understanding human emotions sometimes.
i guess one could argue that he never really saw the primarchs as his "children" but leaders of mankind and didn't want to coddle them at every moment
he cared for humanity, but Big E was so far beyond human that it was hard for him to relate on an emotional level
The 40k Lore reddit has the same discussion right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/b9rt4r/i_scaled_the_figures_in_tim_remins_warhammer/
And there are these scale comparison by a fan:

Is the Emperor human sized, space marine sized, or primarch sized? If he's either of the latter two, does that mean he roamed around human civilizations for centuries as 8 to 10 foot tall bodybuilder and we all just pretended like that was normal.
Maybe he's a grower.
I had the impression he used psyker powers to make himself seem larger than life. idk.

hm... forgot about the blanks/nulls. Guess they should be able to see his actual physical manifestation.
1. Calgar is a primaris now.
2. A Thunder Warrior is a proto-space marine that was used by the Emperor during the Unification Wars.
they seem bigger? and i assume stronger than regular astartes?
They are stronger, but not better. What the Thunder Warriors are is the Emperor's attempt in creating super soldiers that he would need later on.
i hope after the Horus Heresy series ends...Black Library does the Dark Age of Technology and the fall that leads to the Age of Strife
isn't the Age of Technology where we see the rise of the Emperor?
could be an interesting series, theres a theory that he was created during the DAOT
The Emperor of Mankind appeared during the Age of Strife.
They ever going to do something with the cacodominus?
Who knows at this point. Most stuff in the background stuff in the rulebooks and codices are stuff that might be expanded up but that is really just up to Black Library.
Primarchs are big lads. Regular humans come up to their hips while when standing next to a marine, regular humans come up to their chests.

I'm sorry but that cover looks so ridiculously silly.
Gulliman: PAAAAARTAAAY!
Sanguinius: No goddamnit we need to get to Terra
Guilliman: PAR-AR-ARTAAAAAAAY!
Sanguinius: We're getting nowhere fast...
the full cover's funnier
the Smurfs and Angels are celebrating with their primarchs why the Scars are there just like "what ev"
For context, G-man is proclaiming his brother as the Emperor of Imperium Secundus (the worlds that got cut off from the rest of the Imperium by a huge Warp storm). Sanguinius isn't exactly thrilled about it, but knows he's the best choice for the job as they have no idea how to get out and if Terra even still stands.
