hmmm.... cue the slapfight between Slaanesh and Nurgle? Sounds petty enoigh for them.
So Lucious is one of the few people who is realistically a threat to the emperor?
If Big E gets off the chair and kills Lucious, feels a small hint of pride, no more Emps?
Now that is a interesting question.
See, the Emperor is the Anathema to the warp, he is a powerful psyched that can warp the warp around him.
Would Lucius work on him? No fucking idea.
The Web Comic Ember Phoenix solved the problem of Lucius by having Clonegrim borrow the Emperor's sword off Roboute and killing Lucius with it, Lucius at this point is like 50% Warp entity, so the sword perma killed that part of him, stripping him of his reincarnation.

In some of the Horus Heresy books, particularly the newer ones, there are a lot of women in the Imperial Navy, administration etc. which is obviously an effort by the authors to correct the gender disparity among PoV characters (good job!), but now I’m wondering if in a society like Heresy-era Imperium of Man that gender skew might actually be realistic. Like, would Astartes recruiting impact the population? Even though there aren’t that many actual Astartes, we know that the process of making them kills a lot of potential Astartes, so more would have to be drafted than what would become the actual recruitment number. And for planets that are proud of their contribution to the Legions, would adolescent girls feel a similar pressure in their societies to serve the Imperium in similar ways, therefore ending up in command positions like the female officers from legion-affiliated planets in the books?
I crave statistics, James Workshop….

Other than Angron and I would maybe guess Konrad, are there other primarchs besides Lion who would just punch the head off one of their sons because they disobeyed them? Or would they all do that.
Also I don’t remember the situation exactly there might have been a gun involved which makes it a little less of an overreaction
All of them, depending on what the marine disobeyed and the Primarch's mood at the time. Even the mild-mannered ones. Primarch temperament is made of extremes, and they are prone to incredible violence when losing it. "But MY wooblybloobly wouldn't-" Yes he would. Yes, he really would.
Also, there was no gun involved with Nemiel, if that's what you're referring to. Lion wanted to sanction the use of librarians after Nikea to kill daemons, Nemiel opposed it because the Emperor said no. Lion told him to fall in line, and Nemiel refused again because it was the Emperor's edict, and loyalty to the Emperor should come before loyalty to his Primarch. If you are at all familiar with the culture of the 30k Dark Angels, or the pride in being the Emperor's first legion instilled into them by the Lion, then you'll see why this was a pretty reasonable response. There was no violence from Nemiel, just a refusal to back down from the Emperor's decree based on the culture cultivated by the Lion himself.
Now, the Lion could have arrested him. He could have restrained him. Attempted to properly talk him to a compromise. He could have done a number of non-lethal things to sit Nemiel out, even temporarily, but he didn't. He lost his temper and backhanded his head off. Why? Because no matter how nobly they behave, or how regal or intelligent they are, they were created to be conquerors that killed all opposing them.
Anyway, here's the excerpt where Lion reacts to being told "No, the Emperor said no." with all the grace of a toddler throwing a strop:

Headcanon: Jaghatai, sometimes, gets the zoomies and just this almost compulsive need to MOVE. And when it's zoomies time, he is just pacing around really fast. Helps him clear his head and think about more important stuff.
His Father, however, is put off by that. So, he finds a super big, super sturdy blankie and swaddles Jaghatai in it as if he was swaddling a baby.
That doesn't help, because Jaghatai just starts crawling around a like Primarch-sized caterpillar. You can even call him a... KHANterpillar.

Husbandry AU question, Blangels and assuming their kits have feathers considering *pointing at Sang*
do you imagine their kits are fluffy from the go like ducklings, chicks, geese and they loose their coat after a while like all other space marine kits during maturation
Or do they starts scrungly and screamy beyond belief, grow the coat in and then loose it again?
