The Primarch of the 4th Legiones Astartes, and the final primarch I'm drawing for now: Deus — The Lord of Iron!

During the Unification Wars, the 4th Legion and the Empress who was accompanying the legion at the time, discovered the body of a pony, a pony who was nearly the size of a Space Marine already and coated head-to-hoof in cybernetic enhancements. Intrigued the Empress sealed the corpse in stasis and brought it back to her gene-labs, when she pulled away the metal bits, she was surprised to recognize the corpse that lay before her, and after harvesting what genetic material she could from the dead earth pony, she created a perfect clone of the deceased Deus. Deus's enhancement was a weak form of telepathy, he could better theorize what the marines with his gene-seed would do by subconsciously analyzing their thoughts, of course the Primarch and his Marines didn't know this at first and simply believed that they thought alike and could read each-others actions, but this became more apparent as time went on. Somehow, perhaps through the manipulation of the Dark Gods, or perhaps through some other reason, the clone-Deus would slowly start getting memories from his past self, at first they came as feelings of Deja-Vu, but as more time went on he could start remembering events from his past. Like all the Primarchs, Deus was given a planet of his choice, Olympia, but during the early days of the Black Heresy, the planet rebelled against the Imperium, Following a string of defeats that left most of the Iron Warriors dead, the Primarch and what was left of his legion returned to their home and slaughtered the entire population of the planet, leaving not one citizen alive, coincidentally, or perhaps through the intervention of darker powers, the Primarch during this battle relieved all of his past life, thinking that he was once again in the wasteland during the Age of Strife, the moment the Primarch returned from he senses he saw before him the same wasteland as before, only this one was of his own creation. During his rage, the marines of the 4th also lived through the same experiences, and even after their Primarch's rage had subsided, all Iron Warriors were still able to see echos of their Primarch's past in dreams, even newly initiated marines experience this… In the end, there was only one path left.
