The Ways of Fate: A Primarch Quest

Reader mode
[X]Way of the Mage

[X]Way of Mind

[X]Way of the Artisan

Not too bothered about the stature vote.
I think I like way of the mind best but would also be happy with Artisan or Mage.
 
[X]Way of Biomancy

I would go for Biomancy becthere basically isn't a Biomancy type Primarch around. Maybe even see if we can fix the Flesh Change or any one of a bajillion other mutations

[X]Way of Mind

The other route that seems neglected is Telepathy, which is actually rather useful. It would let us solve the immediate nuclear crisis better, hide our talents from The Emperor better, and there also isn't a Telepathy Primarch. Aside from Magnus of course.
 
[X]Tall Man (Comparable to Alpharius)
[X]Way of the Artisan[
X]Way of the Biomancy


I personally like the idea of being on the shorter size, as (aside from Alpharius) most of the primarchs were very large, and I think it would be fitting that the most self aware primarchs (hopefully) would be the most human in stature. Likewise I can't think of any psychic craftsmen amongst the primarchs.
Also learning psychic craftsmanship from a Aeldari farseer, sounds like something that cleaves close to the path of shapeing i.e. Bonesinger's (something that BIG E would be very interested in)
(Also given that biomancy is confirmed to be able to help Angron I wouldn't mind it either)

[X]Way of the Artisan
Why use psychic powers to destroy or harm, when you can use them to create. Being an artist or artisan is already putting a part of oneself into ones work. This would be his Way.

I think this one has the most potential for growth because if I'm reading it right which would be that this is the rune\Ward\enchanting/ psy Focus creation and or General magic Tech

then Theoretically this could possibly do anything that the other ways could do and potentially do it better because though he might not be as good at all the disciplines as Magnus
he is still very good at all the disciplines
good enough that combined with the way of the artisan he would probably know how to create ruins\Wards\Mage Tech
or some other type of psy Focus or booster

Too dramatically increase his capabilities in that particular field want to use divination?
want to see a particular point in the future but aren't strong enough?

Give him a weeks and he can give you something like the Emperors tarot to help give your abilities of boost

or a few months and he might just give you a room that could boost your divination abilities many times over

Or perhaps you wish for destructive output? perhaps he can give you rune and wards both to help focused and boost your attacks
and to help you draw on much more of your powers and The Warp without it escaping your control or something talking advantage

perhaps even give you a weapon that can store psychic energy allowing you a second safe source to draw on without fear of a warp predator

Or Maybe you wish to heal?
in which case maybe he could whip up something to make the body less resistant too and more accepting of biomancy maybe even something to help anchor the soul

Or better yet Perhaps it is protection you seek? Be it mundane Supernatural or corruptive maybe even speed and strength?

In which case perhaps he could enchant and carve runes and Wards into the inside of your armor
Enchant it to strengthen the material
And to protect form mundane things like bolters or power swords maybe more

and wards to protect against telepathic attacks warp fire or the corrupting and maddening influence of Chaos maybe he could even create something to imprison such creatures

Perhaps he could enchant your sword so that it is more durable than the material should allow yet is also lighter and moves faster than it should but hits just as hard or Cuts with a supernatural ease maybe it even has runes to prevent natural healing
and hinders the unnatural

Or carve biomancy based runes on to you to increase your speed strength and endurance without actually having to use biomancy yourself?

Or do you wish to match the might of a demon engine or possessed warship ?

difficult No Doubt but perhaps he could work something out at least something to protect against telepathic attacks on your crew Men

Who knows maybe just maybe he could even create his own equivalent
( though not necessarily equal )
to wraith bone

Sorry for that wall of text
but it does illustrate that the potential and possibilities are . . . . extensive and Broad indeed

Depends on what you mean, but sure if Way of Artisan wins Alek will be able to create the most well crafted and psychically enhanced cybernetic limbs out there

. . . . .if our boy got good enough at the way of the artisan could he eventually be able to create weapons in the heat of battle??
. . . maybe even use them as projectiles like a certain Shiro ( mischievous chuckling)

Well he was friends with Magnus to one degree or another (fellow egghead and all that). So Magnus drags both of them together beucase with SCIENCE! and WARP POWERS! (with hims incomparable powers leading the effort of course) wonders beyond compare will be created!

Alekandros: -sigh- "He's at it again."
Perturabo: "No maniacal laughter or summoned thunder and lightning this time."
Alekandros: "I hate that this is actually a step forward for our brother."

Oh the things they could create shutters in Delight at the idea
at the same time I wonder if alekandros was to work with say ferrus or Vulcan to create the ultimate melee weapon just how magnificent and strong could such a horrifyingly wonderful weapon be??

I love this but not because I agree with it but because it would be an Eldar to say such a thing

I feel like some people read whatever they want when I say "using psy powers to create stuff". It is not a magic cheat option and it does not do things better than the other paths. It allows you to either imbude an artifact with some powerful but not bullshit powerful psychic effect: ring of fire, ring of invisibility, etc or use pshychic powers in the creation of some item: feeling to what degree a piece of metal should be formed, heated, molded, excecuting each strike of the hammer, each cut of the saw, each rotation of the laithe perfectly by listening to the flow of psychic energies and via use of your powers of foresight, pyromancy, telekinsesis etc, imbuding the item with so much creative and emotional psychic energy that it just works better. A lighter that always produces flame on the first try, no matter how unskilled the user, a autogun that never jams and seems to just hits closer to the target, a sword that always cuts perfectly and whose edge never dulls, a beautiful painting that improves people's day by just looking at it, a sculpture that seems to carry the depicted persons presence. I can go on if people want more examples.

Also runes I guess.

It's okay. I just think making sure to set expectations right is part of the QM job. Keep them speculations coming, interaction feeds my soul.

Then if I may ask if Alekandros with the way of The Artisans was to work together with Vulcan Ferrus Manus or fulgrim
to create the Ultimate Weapon
How would their weapon compare to other powerful weapons?
like the emperor's own sword
or the blade Abaddon uses
or the death sword of eldar
or even blade of antwyr
What if they all work together to create it or even brought Magnus in for whatever help he could provide ?
