Talk:Firstborn

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

"Firstborn" is not a universal term for the original Space Marines. It is a term used by the Emperor's Spears Chapter. While some other Chapters may use the same term, other Chapters may use their own terms, or may not use any term at all.

This page should be a redirect to the Space Marines page, with an explanation about how some Chapters might refer to their pre-Primaris Space Marines.

"The white granite figure was too old to be one of the Second Generation, the Primaris, like every Spear I had seen so far. This statue depicted one of the Firstborn, those Space Marines from the same genetic stock as my master: the warriors that had that served the Emperor so loyally for thousands of years." --> Sounds quite generic to me.
"At his side was a Firstborn warrior of another Chapter, this one clad in the striking black, red and white of the Templars." --> No indication that this a term specifically used by the Emperor's Spears. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum (talk) 20:13, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
