Ages of the Primarchs when Found

In case any body needs this, my ass has decided to calculate their ages of roughly based on the year 792.M30 being when they were tossed out: Horus: 9 years old Leman Russ: 27 years [REDACTED]

Ferrus Manus: 32 years Fulgrim: 38 years old Vulkan: 40 years old Rogal Dorn: 43 years old Roboute Guilliman: 45 years old Magnus the Red: 48 years old Sanguinius: 51 years old Lion El'Johnson: 54 years old Perturabo: 57 years old Mortarion: 62 years old Lorgar: 65 years old Jaghatia Khan: 73 years old Konrad Curze: 104 years old Angron: 107 years old Corvus Corax: 130 years old [REDACTED]

Alpharius/Omegon: 189 years old

Thought this was interesting to calculate how old each of the Primarchs were when found, and damn I suppose the reason Horus might've been the favourite was because he was actually raised by the Emperor meanwhile almost everyone else was found long into their adulthood.

Here's the one for when they died/demonized/warp fucked

hi hello! I've been somewhat of a lurker all this time but first of all I wanna say that I love Golden Shrike and all the work and love you put into it. Second, there's a very interesting thing actually going on with Boneslav's name and as a Linguistics nerd I need to share this with you.

So, Stonekrovn speech has Nordic and Russian/Slavic features, and Boneslav mentions that his name comes from loving bones – as in "bones-lav". but ACTUALLY (nerd face emoji) names of Slavic origin have a -slav part in them that means "he who glorifies/brings glory to". As in Yaroslav – "raging glory", Vladislav – "glorifying power". So to me, a native Russian speaker, this lovely puppy's name sounds like a very unique mix of English and Slavic roots that actually reads like "Bone-slav" – "he who brings glory to the bones".

metal as heck, I love it so much.

Then Glory to the Bones shall be the name of his band once he manages to persuade the others to pick up instruments.

Some stuff from Tubbos stream earlier:

-More skills will be added

-New Npc's will be added to buff people that need help

-Big event that will mark the end of the factions in the New year, it will not only consist on the Realm members, but an additional 55 streamers

-Snail race event

-There will be a general server plot that's connected to the items players have been collecting in the faction event

Tasmanian tiger comeback??

From the article:

“It was literally a head in a bucket of ethanol in the back of a cupboard that had just been dumped there with all the skin removed, and been sitting there for about 110 years,” Prof Andrew Pask, the head of the thylacine integrated genetic restoration research (with the acronym Tigrr) lab at the University of Melbourne, says.

[...]

A year on, he says it has advanced the work of the team of Australian and US scientists who are trying to resurrect the species more than expected at this stage. “We are further along than I thought we would be, and we have completed a lot of things that we thought would be very challenging and others said would be impossible,” he says.

The plan to ‘de-extinct’ the thylacine The project to bring back the thylacine is being driven by Colossal, a Texas-based biotechnology “ de-extinction and species preservation” company that is also aiming to recreate the woolly mammoth and the dodo using genetic engineering techniques.

[...]

The thylacine was Australia’s only marsupial apex predator. It once lived across the continent, but was restricted to Tasmania about 3,000 years ago. Dog-like in appearance and with stripes across its back, it was extensively hunted after European colonisation. The last known survivor died in captivity in 1936 and it was officially declared extinct in the 1980s.

Colossal says researchers have made several breakthroughs in its work on the species, putting the company much closer to its goal of returning it to the wild. They include what they say is the highest quality ancient genome ever produced, with just 45 gaps in a genetic blueprint that contains about 3bn pieces of information.

Lamm says it is an “incredible scientific leap” putting the program “on track to de-extinct the thylacine”, while other recent breakthroughs will be useful in protecting critically endangered species. “We are pushing as fast as possible to create the science necessary to make extinction a thing of the past,” he says.
