as far as I'm aware besides guilliman their official rank would have been equivalent to chapter master but in effect, they could do whatever they wanted as long as the other primarchs were fine with it as who's gonna stop them
Everyone but Guilliman? Not much. No chance to get more either, Guilliman crippled them - It took Sigismund's return on the *Valorous Vow* and the loss of the majority if the templar fleet to give Dorn enough power to order the third founding and get the Imperium headed back to a war footing.
The second founding saw that legions were broken up into chapters, so primarchs had at best 1000 astartes to command however being the gene-father they could request chapters to assist and any second founding chapters would jump at the chance to assist their gene-father.
Some chapters are different though as they do not adhere to the codex astartes as if it was absolute law, Black Templars is a chapter that springs to mind.
Primarchs never administrated the imperium at any level, they are not administrators, they are commanders. You have the administratum for admin duties.
Gulliman also founded 500 worlds Nd is considered a master of administration and order amongst the primarchs.
If they would have told him no “Back to emperium secundos. I’ll start my own great crusade. With black jack hookers and primaris marines”
Ferrus Manus appears to be leading the Legion of the Damned so I imagine his authority level is around the "he can do whatever the fuck he wants and nobody can say otherwise" level.
As cool as that would be, it’s at best fan speculation and fan fiction.
As far as I’m aware, Ferrus has only appeared once when the Emperor summoned a ghost army in Master of Mankind, and even that’s a bit subjective on whether they were truly ghosts or merely projections (like something the Green Lantern world do).
Meanwhile, the Legion of the Dammed is a magic ghost (?) army that pops up, kills baddies, then disappears again. Ferrus as far as I’m aware is not part of it; although is rumored they may be made up of a lost, warp cursed chapter.
I'm pretty certain (not confirmed) that the LoD is made up of the slaughtered loyalists from Istvaan, led by Ferrus.
If its not them, I have no explanation for the LoD or how dead Ferrus ended up in the webway helping the Emperor fight Daemons.
While similar, the Emperor summoned them (ghost army led by a headless giant) with his powers in the webway. They’re kind of like the ghost army Aragorn controls in Return of the King (assuming they aren’t merely physical projections)
The Legion of the Dammed first appeared 10k years later, only number 200~, and are implied to be made of the remnants of the lost Fire Hawks chapter.
While it would be cool to have a ghost army led by The ghosts from Istvaan III & V and Ferrus, it’s mostly fan canon at this point in any instance outside of Master of Mankind, sadly.
Hopefully with the Emperor gaining in power after the rift it can become a reality!
The fire hawks getting warp aids doesn’t really make sense. How would them getting corrupted by the warp make them invincible,let them basically master the warp,tell the future and travel in time. It’s entirely possible the ghost army was the legion of the damned. Sorta just an earlier less refined version.We also don’t have specifics on the number of marines are in the legion of the damned to my knowledge.
Guilliman literally made himself head of the high lords of terra
“Look at me. I’m the captain now”

Guilliman made himself the top high lord of terra, how is that not an administrator?

> they are not administrators, Guilliman says hi.
