A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

It was the 90s since I last played 40K apart fro a short stint playing Dawn of War.

I found this on Reddit but I'm site-banned so can't ask there. My rough grasp is....

The crowned woman is a famous eldar princess type thing?
Ultramarine Primarch (Robert Gullman?) is her dad? That doesn't make sense....
She's pregnant with his kid??? How can humans and Eldar have kids? I didn't know that was possible.
The Emperor is pissed that Ultramarine Rob shagged the eldar?

What did I miss/get wrong?

He's a Primarch, one of 21

Oh 21, how interesting. Can you give us those 21 names then? No? Just 20 of them maybe? Still no? Is it because you made that number up as everybody knows there has always been 18 primarchs? Any other number is quite silly.

Sorry, that was just my heretic showing

Is he making a joke about the traitor primarchs not being primarchs?

I really need to to stay reading the books again. I plan on starting with Horus Heresy!

Last book I read I think had witches in of some kind!?

Not quite, I included the Primarchs of the Lost Legions and Omegon in the count.

The Lost Primarchs were deliberately erased from history by the Emperor for mystery reasons, and Omegon was a secret from even other Primarchs, though several of them figured it out.

Knowledge of the Traitors isn't heresy by default, but knowledge of their existence is variable by region so some sheltered worlds might not know and be outraged at your claim that a Space Marine could be a traitor and others could give you a brief history of the Horus Heresy.

Though I think the cat might out of the bag entirely in the most current timeline, like how Grey Knights aren't a secret anymore.

Thanks for your detailed and accurate explanations.
