The Weapons of the Primarchs As befits their stature as giant demigods of battle the Primarchs of the Legiones Astartes wore some of the most advanced and master-crafted armor ever forged by mankind and wielded weapons of terrible potency. Some of the weapons wielded by the Primarchs were hand-forged by the Emperor or themselves, masterworks of creation custom made for the hands that wielded them, others were ancient, unique and irreplaceable archaeotech, weapons forged in a distant golden age and now put to bloody work on the battlefields of the Great Crusade.
