Primaris marines, from what I understand are men from the time of the crusades. How do you think the chapter would react to seeing these relics walking and fighting? How do you think the primaris would react to vulkhan not being there?
(( I personally think that no Salamanders Primaris would have been in the first wave of Primaris Marines, as after the Drop Site Massacre, those few legionaries who survived either joined up with the Shattered Legions (Artellus Numeon, Leodrakk, Cassian Dracos), made it to Imperium Secundus before leaving again (Far’kor Zonn, Rek’or Xathen, Igen Gargo), were already a part of the Crusader Host, or found their way back to Nocturne (Nomus Rhy’tan). There wouldn’t have really been a point for Cawl to grab any to convert, given that they would probably be unlikely to comply with his wishes after the supposed death of their Primarch. They wanted revenge. Experiments and secret projects didn’t matter. ))
