Templars HEAR Primarch Return Rumours! NEW 40K LORE!

Spoiler Warning

The video discusses a key passage in Mike Vincent’s new Black Templars novel, Sin of Hope.

The Passage and Its Context

The story follows the Black Templars as they fight daemons on a world caught in the Great Rift. They fight alongside a regiment of drop troops that Chapter Master Valrak enthusiastically hopes Games Workshop will bring back.

The Templars also clash with the Leagues of Votann, whose claim to the planet rests on an old contract. As Valrak paraphrases Helbrecht’s response: “This means nothing to me—get out of my face.”

The major lore moment comes when Helbrecht tells his Chaplain that the Templars live in an age when a Primarch has returned—and that rumours suggest there may be more than one.

What the Primarch Rumours Could Mean

Valrak sees the passage as another sign that news of Lion El’Jonson’s return is spreading through the Imperium. He connects it with earlier hints involving the Space Wolves, and notes that the Blood Angels and Dark Angels also know of the Lion. It remains unclear whether the news has reached Roboute Guilliman.

Valrak speculates that, in Imperium Nihilus, people might see a Primarch as a divine son of the Emperor and rally to him rather than to their local governors. He imagines the Lion eventually meeting Guilliman and argues that the two should unite against the Imperium’s enemies instead of falling into rivalry or another civil war. He also wonders whether other Chapters will begin hoping for the return of their own Primarchs.

Valrak’s Hopes and Concerns

Valrak is excited by the possibilities but worries that Games Workshop might mishandle the story. He suggests that Imperial institutions such as the Inquisition could resent the Primarchs’ growing influence.

His main complaint is that fans are being fed “breadcrumbs.” He wants a major story—ideally a novel—showing the two returned Loyalist Primarchs meeting after 10,000 years.
