If you’re new to the story of Warhammer 40k, Primarchs are essentially god-like humans created by the Emperor to lead a massive crusade and bring humanity back together. According to the Warhammer 40k Fandom page, there were 20 of them. They acted as the original genetic blueprints for the Space Marine legions, designed to be the ultimate leaders, fighters, and rulers – far surpassing any ordinary human in strength, speed, and intelligence. Primarchs are immortal and immune to disease. While these powerful characters haven’t been playable in any previous Dawn of War game, Dawn of War 4 will allow players to briefly command Primarch Lion El’Johnson.
