Which Primarchs are available

If Papa Smurf is available I would like to play as them

All primarchs who aren't claimed (which is listed in the first post) are available, and luckily for you, Guil remains free for use.
 
What do I need to know about the Eleventh Primarch?

Will you have to create it yourself, or will you be given a custom design?

I'm thinking about the Eleventh and Jagai Khan. One of them will probably fit.
(My beloved psychopath Conrad was taken away, cry)
 
Emps decided to test out mixing some Eldar genetics into the Eleventh, which means that Slaanesh is out specifically for their soul, and they're not nearly as resilient to Chaos corruption as the other primarchs. They're also on a planet that has a lot of built-up high-tech infrastructure, but which has lost most of the underpinning technology, with the result being that they need to figure out how to balance building a resistance to Chaos while also acquiring the skills to research and repair the local infrastructure.
 
Joined this forum for this at Chroniqler's invitation.

I'll put Mortarion as my primary dibs.

If there is a reshuffle as Nicholas predicted, I'd also be interested in Horus, and perhaps Lion.

Hmm. I can work with this, of course, while providing background information about the planet.

I choose Eleventh. (Backup option Jaghatai Khan)
 
Also, since people might want to know, the Second is an enchanting specialist - that is, they make relics, objects infused with narratives that'll make the Warp treat them differently. Stuff that's less the direct potency of higher tech levels, but rather more specific stuff, like a sword of daemon-slaying. Their planet is also an old Knight world, albeit one without the necessary infrastructure to make more.

Unfortunately, they're also in relatively close proximity to the Rangdan.

I was the one who had tentatively grabbed Eleventh, and I've since built up a somewhat extensive set of plans.

That said - would you massively prefer Eleventh to Khan? And how many plans have you built? Because if it's "a ton and several," I can grab someone else; while half of my planning would be lost, the other half can be reworked for another Primarch.

If not, though, I'd like to definitely confirm Eleven. And ask if I'm allowed to name him.

O, no, I'm not in the habit of making plans without basic information, so there were no plans.

Feel free to take this half-xenos for yourself.
 
You know what? I'm interested. Put me down for Leman Russ, please.

Maybe I can give him an actual on-screen win this time.

Of note, Inborn Traits operate at increased potency, Planetary Traits at normal and traits gained through training or narrative at a reduced rate.
The Twins don't currently have a planet because they're so freaking spooky.

EDIT: A couple of notes:
1. These traits are still subject to rebalancing.
2. Angron, Pert, Magnus and 2nd have all locked in Void Touched and while we are oath bound not to share details with anyone else who hasn't locked in, we all agree the Mystery Box is definitely worth it. Join Us In The Embrace Of The Void

A quick note for those of you who saw that not all of the primarchs have a Unique Trait: that's in the process of being amended. Mostly by giving them upgraded versions of at least one of the Free Traits that they already come with; this process was already done with Angron, whose Unique Trait was, early on, a version of Strong with significantly increased potency.
 
Void Touched: unique trait to each primarch, is not related to the Old Ones or C'tan in any way
 
It's in the trait description, ergo it's true. The trait isn't intended to deceive, it's literally just a customized mystery box.
