The Evolution of the Space Marines: The Primaris
In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, a new generation of Space Marines has emerged to take the fight to the enemies of humanity. The Primaris Space Marines are the next step in the evolution of the Emperor’s finest warriors, engineered to be bigger, faster, and stronger than their predecessors.
The Creation of the Primaris
The Primaris Space Marines were created by Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl, who was tasked by Roboute Guilliman to develop a new legion of warriors to aid the Imperium in its darkest hour. Using advanced STC-technologies and genetic samples from all twenty Primarchs, Cawl crafted the Primaris Marines to be more potent and resilient than ever before.
The Indomitus Crusade
Tens of thousands of Primaris Marines were secretly created by Cawl over the millennia, and many more were produced after the rebirth of Guilliman. These warriors were formed into great armies known as the Unnumbered Sons, which were gradually reduced over the course of the Indomitus Crusade through the reinforcement of existing Chapters scattered throughout the galaxy.
