[edit] Primarchs

Did the Emperor create the primarchs during his crusade, or rediscover them? According to the Wiki for The Emperor they were rediscovered, in this article though it says he created them during the Great Crusade. I'm not familiar with the fiction but would like to know which is correct. --Anon80 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.76.128.217 (talkcontribs) .

The Emperor created the Primarchs and the Space Marines before the Great Crusade began, during the Age of Strife. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.159.74.228 (talk • contribs) .
Is there any evidence that Horus was the first Primarch to be created? That's what the article implies, though I imagine that wasn't the intention. I'll reword that unless anyone objects.Sojourner001 15:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there any evidence that the other 2 Primarchs were never found? They were stricken from imperial records, but is there any indication that they are still missing? Aristoi 17:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wikification

I'm adding a Conflict sidebox here, if people are happy with that. It's rather vague as a warfare scenario goes but I think it's consistent with the other pages of this sort. Sojourner001 15:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I've tweaked it a bit (eg I don't see how they can be "successionists" until they're actually in the Empire in the first place), but I like the idea. Cheers --Pak21 15:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm pulling the wikify tag. This article looks pretty wikified to me. JubalHarshaw 01:11, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

It's a long time since I was involved with fluff pages, and my attitude to wikification has changed a lot since then. I'm now of the opinion that all the 'galactic' fluff can be condensed down and adequately explained in a single article, along the lines of The 41st Millennium as a fictional setting. Thoughts?

I'm okay with it having multiple pages as it currently does. I'm sure some trimming could be done, though. Aristoi 15:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I do not think that the Warhammer Universe could be adequately covered in one article, unless you intend to make it exceedingly long, at which point guidelines would suggest it be split into sub articles anyway. --Falcorian (talk) 15:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm for a merger, however if we don't merge, then the History page ought to be updated to give a better scope of this article. mattbuck 10:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Warhammer 40,000 can not be shortened more. It must be kept seperate. will be extremely unhappy if this article is merged —Preceding unsigned comment added by PIBBextra (talkcontribs)
