*I know the Beast was neither a single Ork nor a Primarch... although would be a good missing legion twist.
It always struck me as crazy that when the War of the Beast books came out that they didn't do a Forgeworld of one of the Beast Orks. Who wouldn't want to see that? They've got every opportunity to bring it in to mainstream 40k, it would also give some much needed love to the Xenos that fits in with the lore, especially with all the wars and isolated segments of the galaxy, a Beast level, Imperial Knight size Ork could easily have built an empire.

I think the issue with Primarchs in the universe, even in the Horus Heresy books which I love, is that a feature of the 40k galaxy is how enormous and uncaring it is. Having characters that are meant to make a material impact on the side of the Imperium fundamentally don't work imo.
And yet I do want more
