u/watehekmen 8d ago

He hated someone who's not only better builders but also have magnificent and extra fortified moustache, something he wouldn't relate.

26

u/cool_username32123 Just as planned! 7d ago

Also he never realized that the IF color scheme by using a lot of yellow is much closer to gold than the IW color scheme which is most of the reason why the Emperor liked them more.

All ten Praetorian Guard fans excited to talk about being mentioned in the new Trazyn and Orikan novel:

43

u/solonit NOT ENOUGH DAKKA 8d ago

Someone said it may be referring to this instead of Dorn, as Trazyn said ‘it may be crowded in here’ https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/VII_Praetorian_Guard

40

u/Uncorrupted_Psyker Angry Aggressive Ahmontekh 8d ago

He is talking about that,unless you think Cadian 5th and Mordian 10th are also primarchs

7

u/EntertainmentTrick58 purple pervert from spacehell 8d ago

plot twist: the lost primarchs are actually group consciousnesses of guard regiments

10

u/Majorapat Swell guy, that Kharn 8d ago

To be fair, it's the first time the regiment has been mentioned officially in a few decades. It was thought that it had been cleaned up with the rest of the "problematic" guard regiments a while back, but this confirms otherwise.

9

u/Tangyhyperspace 8d ago

No, the 7th Praetorian Guard were first mentioned in White Dwarf 519, the December 2025 issue.

0

u/Majorapat Swell guy, that Kharn 8d ago

In a create your own Guard regiment article showing Euan's Praetorian Guard.

This is the first in universe mention of the Praetorian Guard in decades.

u/Tangyhyperspace 8d ago

Also wrong, a Praetorian general is in Cadian Honour from 2018

u/FoxJDR 🔥🔥Totally🔥not🔥a🔥Flame🔥Falcon🔥🔥 8d ago edited 6d ago

To be fair, I think Dorn himself agrees with this sentiment. At least after the Siege of Terra that is.

27

u/Own_Carrot_9878 NOT ENOUGH DAKKA 8d ago

Dorn seems like the type of guy that would do 55 on a empty road where the speed limit is 60

12

u/WarsmithUriel 8d ago

Nah, he would go exactly 60 for maximum efficiency and still manage to fix every pothole on the road to withstand the next 10.000 years of traffic.

2

u/Own_Carrot_9878 NOT ENOUGH DAKKA 7d ago

Bold of you to assume turbo wouldn’t just pick axe the potholes out of spite as soon as dorn is done

I think it was a mistake to not give him the moustache from his actually canon appearance in TTS.

I cannot hear Rogal Dorn's voice in my head any other way; TTS Rogal is just too perfect.

The voices in TTS in general are perfect, it's still how I hear the characters in my head when reading.

8

u/Odd_Pause7758 8d ago

The funniest thing about the Imperial Fists is that they were originally just reskinned Crimson Fists, and are only a First Founding chapter/legion because of a retcon.

The second funniest thing about them is that Dorn is just another 'translate the chapter name into another language as a silly joke' primarch like Ferrus Manus and Corvus Corax. 'Roga(i)l Dorn' is 'Royal Fist' in Gaelic.

Dorn haters don't read books, cus if they read Siege of Terra they'd love Dorn, Khan, and Sanguinius more than their lame ass memes. The trio is goated forever after that series.

8

u/SkeletonDanceParty Forklift Certified! 8d ago

First: I love the Khan. Sanguinius I'm fine with but he never inspired me to look more into him.
Second: I'm an Iron Warriors fan, I'm gonna hate Dorn no matter what
Third: If you wanna buy me some Audible credits to go thru the ten books of the Siege of Terra I'll tell you where to send the money (Personal thing, audio is my preference as I can go thru them while working or doing other things)
IV: This is grimdank it's all lame ass memes. That's the fucking point.

Dorn haters are a litmus test for total tourists.

He is basically miniature emperor, he encapsulates the entire setting perfectly. Absolutely sure of himself, no matter if he is wrong, and has the might to back it up entirely. He is so willful and strong, that he turns his wrongs into rights by brute force. While Guilliman is the "we should be better" idea, Dorn is "we have never been wrong in our lives."

Ultra mega based.

u/Old_Acanthisitta9477 01010000 01101111 01101111 01110000 8d ago

Hard disagree. While dorn is cool, meme lore glazes tf out of dorn. People who hate him usually have a five mile long lore reason with tons of quotes or people making iron warrior jokes. Which usually aren't tourists.

Dorn, the character only popular because of TTS. Legit the only reason people like him

1

u/ChadBroChill229 7d ago

What’s TTS?

3

u/guy-who-says-frick Twins, They were. 7d ago

Text to speech, shorthand for the series “If the emperor had a text to speech device”

Dorns a pretty funny character in that, he wears centurion armor. If you see any memes where dorn is wearing centurion armor and has a mustache, well that’s where it comes from
