Description "He was unusal even among his brothers. Too silent and secluded, but charismatic anyway. He wasn't close enough to any of his brothers-primarchs... It seemed, for some time, that Magnus the Red found an approach to him; but these were the discussions of two researchers of the warp and old archives, which were stopped by the Emperor, dissatisfied with too active and daring experiments of His sons.
But there were one more factor, which made both of the a bit close to each other - their Legions. Something more, than brotherhood - a family. He spend most of time with his spacemarines, sharing the drilling, meals and leisure time. He loved his Eleventh Legion and cared for it, as mother cares for her child. And, it seems, that the Legion was the most important thing for him. Legion, but not the Imperium or Emperor.
He knew every spacemarine by name, but remained their commander - the one, they loved and and standed in awe of...
And that has become a problem, when his spacemarines began to die. It appeared, that he wasn't ready for losses and that became a disaster. He was broken and started to seek the ways to save his Legion even there, where the sane ones didnt' dare to seek... He just... didn't want to loose his men anymore.
The consequences were... terrible, despite the interference of the Emperor. The imperium was saved and lived along in ignorance, but the Eleventh Legion and its primarch were purged from the annals of the Imperium and gone in the darkness of ages. Only the empty pedestal among the sculptures of other primarchs in the Emperor's Palace reminded about the tragedy." author's fantasy.
This is not a canon!

Он был другим. Непохожим на своих братьев. Слишком молчаливый, замкнутый, но, тем не менее, источающий харизму. Как, впрочем, и остальные примархи. Он так ни с кем и не сблизился. В какой-то момент казалось, что подход к брату нашел Магнус; но то были разговоры двух заядлых исследователей варпа и архивов, которые прекратились, когда Император выразил свое недовольство чересчур активными и смелыми экспериментами своих сыновей.
Впрочем, был еще один фактор, который роднил обоих примархов, - их Легионы. Нечто большее, нежели просто дружина. Семья. А он проводил со своими десантниками практически все свое время, разделяя с ними тренировки, приемы пищи и досуг. Снимая маску и преображаясь. Он был влюблен в свой Одиннадцатый Легион. Лелеял его, как мать – дитя. И, кажется, именно Легион для него был на первом месте. Легион, а не Империум и Император.
Он знал каждого десантника по имени и при этом оставался для них командиром, которого любили и перед которым трепетали.
И это стало проблемой, когда стали гибнуть его космодесантники. Он оказался не готов к потерям. Это стало причиной катастрофы. Это сломало его и заставило искать пути спасения Легиона там, куда никто не обращался, будучи в здравом рассудке. Просто… он не хотел терять своих людей.
Последствия были ужасными, несмотря на то, что вмешался Император. Империум был спасен и дальше жил в счастливом неведении, а вот Одиннадцатый Легион и его примарх навсегда были стерты из имперских летописей и канули во тьму веков. Лишь пустой постамент среди скульптур других примархов в Императорском Дворце напоминал о трагедии. (c)фантазия автора.

I like the connection you are drawing between the 11th Legion and the Grey Knights, who are based on Titan and came about rather quickly and quietly.

still something we have to consider that IS CANON that conflicts with your story....both the legions of 2 and 11 fought only in the days of the early Great Crusade then died out because they couldn't rebuild their ranks without their primarch around. all records of legion 2 and 11 space marines were erased, hell we don't even know their name or colour or banner or anything.

You should read my own comment to this picture. There is a phrase "This is not a canon!". ) My English isn't very good but I hope the phrase is quite understandable. Also I recommend you to read "The First Heretic" by A. Dembski-Bowden. There are a bit information about those two primarchs.
Thank you. )

personally i prefer the whole thing surrounding Primarchs II and XI and their legions (aside from what has been mentioned in canon books) as a mystery, it is nice to leave some things that way, it is better, for all we know maybe Primarch II and XI are meant to come to the aid of the Imperium at the End of Days that both Vulkan and Russ spoke off, in the final battle. we don't know do we? or maybe their fates are meant to be left a mystery for all eternity. that is not to say i don't like these images nad portraits any less, they are awesome and i will forever picture them this way now until proven otherwise probably. there is a loads of canon stuff refering to the mystery primarchs n their legions though; the canon chaos warband called the the "Reborn"; some believe they are remnants of one of the two legions. i haven't got up to first heretic yet...even for me who reads pretty damn fast i find the books pretty slow going with all the detail...can't even remember the last book i read actually...

CommissarD [2011-10-12 20:24:44 +0000 UTC]

I always interpreted it as the 2 forgotten ones were expunged due to a different reason. By simply leaving the Imperium. It would be an insult to the Emperor himself. Another reason that the traitors were not expunged themselves was because the Emperor couldn't give the order to do so, since he had more important orders to give on his last words. In the lore the Second and Eleventh are possibly still alive, as they are referred to as absent but not fallen. The action of simply leaving the Imperium would be extremely shameful as it would be to ignore the existence of the Emperor. The traitors still know the Emperor is there, and is their enemy and their presence can't be ignored so they can't truly be expunged.

However on the edge of the galaxy, hiding somewhere waiting to return to the Imperium at the point where he is needed the most the 11th or 2nd will return. Since "fully half" sided with Horus, it is assumed that one is sided with chaos and the other still loyal.

P.S.I create the color scheme of XI legion, but i don't now in what colors it will be done . What you think about legion color, i am very interested in your point of view, because you are one of the first artist who has drawn eleventh primarch.

This is a great piece of artwork! Two thumbs way way up! Not to mention when I look at this man....I can almost SWEAR I can see the Blood Ravens coming form this guy. Could he be the Father of the Blood Ravens? Could he be the Mysterious Unknown Primarch of Blood Raven Legacy? Could he still be out there....watching his "family" and praying for their safety? Anyway, great picture.

Dyceman88 [2010-06-21 11:32:49 +0000 UTC]

his closeness to his officers sounds a lot like Corax, Corax believed in equality, he hated the title warmaster, only one man deserved to be above him and his brothers and that was the Emperor. he saw his officers as equal and he was the only primarch who never wore capes or other symbolic things of superiority. i also can't help but notice this image of the eleventh looks a lot liek corax in his early days, before his skin went VERY white and his hair grew long. this eleventh has a jetpack too, corax n sanguinius are the only known primarchs to fly. anyway it's an awesoem view n idea for the eleventh but i prefer to keep the 2nd n 11th as a mystery that is never revealed it's more interesting. also the recent books say that primarch 11 was destroyed his incubator tank exploded.

i can't remember EXACTLY but i know it was either in horus rising, false god or galaxy in flames. it's what Horus sees while in a coma, he sees him n his brothers in the incubators n number 11 doesn't get sucked into the warp it explodes. it could be wrong anyway i'm just aying it's a possibilty

да. От и до отсебятинаю Потому что по двум неизвестным примархам у нас пока есть только абзац в "Башне Молний" Д. Абнетта, из которого следует, что произошла ужасная катастрофа, о которой знают примархи и, наверно, приближенные Императора, но о которой не упоминается.

Noldofinve In reply to exDemonius [2010-02-25 20:50:25 +0000 UTC]

Конрад Керз (правильно - Кёрз, не Курз) - примарх Легиона Повелителей Ночи. О нем можно почитать в рассказах Д. Абнетта "Башня Молний" и Г. Макнилла "Темный король". Оч-чень противоречивая и сложная личность.
"Башня Молний": [link]
"Темный король": [link]

Мефистон, Лорд Смерти, Главный Библиарий Ордена Кровавых Ангелов - один из сильнейших псайкеров среди Адептус Астартес. И один из очень немногих, кому удалось справиться с Черной Яростью и Кровавой Жаждой. Близкий друг магистра Кровавых Ангелов, Лорда Данте. О нем можно прочитать в диллогии Свэллоу о Кровавых Ангелах, Мефистон там - один из главных героев. Правда, перевода на русский нет.

Not yet, I will devise one, one day... Maybe even in close time, in the meantime, visit my gallery and check out his legion, they're the newest addition to my works ^_^

Oh, i know this isn't cannon, but the THe statue of Eleventh still remains in the imperial Palace, but it is damaged...And it was damaged long before his expungment ^_^

Returning to the idea of my primarch, I had a different approach... First, he, like Sanguinus was mutated by the warp, but in his case, it let him grow venom fangs and snake eyes...

He grew up on a desolated planet where people were really harsh, according to their environment. His whole life, he witnessed only death, sorrow, war and despair. He become the ruller of his birthplanet, but yet he couldn't stop the natural way of being that was of this planet... Then the emperor arrived. And everything changed. Seeing the sadness of his son, The Emperor made him do something he didn't do EVER... Made him Laugh. That saved the primarch.

As for his expungdment... It was to protect him and his mission, for the Azure Serpents, Later called the infinite Purple Serpents, where to keep an eye on the Adeptus Mechanicus and the burrowed Void Dragon. That's their History, which only some of the primarch's really know ( aside from the fact, that all of them knew who he was)
