At my local game store some of the veterans said something about him being shot with plasma and being killed. But ive only ever heard he dissapeared after isstvan and now the sallies are lookin for him? I love the salamanders their my 2nd fav army and id really like to get this straightened out..

Nah he never got killed. He disappeared after the heresy, the Salamanders believe he will return once they have located the seven artefacts he left behind, the clues he left are written in the tome of fire.

Russ, Corax, Vulkan, Khan and El' Johnson are all potentially alive or definitely alive.
Dorn, Sanguinius and Ferrus are dead. 100% dead.

And Guilliman, despite his preference for clear-cut rules and situations, is apparently somewhere in-between  |

Of all the still living(?) Primarch's, Guilliman is the only one accounted for. Russ, Khan, and Corax are all in the warp somewhere fighting demons, Chaos Marines, and Dark Eldar. Vulkan just up and left and is thought to be in the warp (personally I think he's just hanging out on a desert planet somewhere). El'Johnson is in stasis in the Rock but only the Watchers, the Emperor, and possibly Luther, know he's there. And Trazyn the Infinite has a "giant man in baroque power armour" in his collection, which some believe to be a Primarch, most likely one from the two missing legions.

He is a necron i believe... he collected super powerful objects. And i kinda like the idea that vulkans in like meditation on a world just waiting for his marines or running around with russ in the warp

You guys have misunderstood completely. He collected Necrons, as his army. He spent ages painting them all, he got Hella good at painting metal. Then he got pissed off when there was that bit with the Blood Angels and Necrons being über friends and sold his collection on EBay.
With a typical case of sellers remorse, he left his legion in search of a place to buy a few Necron Battleforces and a few finecasts to build his collection back up. With no one to buy from on the Internet anymore, and no way in hell he was going to pay GW prices, Vulkan's quest for cheap Necron minis has lasted ten thousand years..

The 9 artifacts he left behind are just metaphors for cheap megaforces

In response to your initial question I would say that Vulkan renounced his legion following Isstvan and went into a nomadic, hermit life on some obscure uncolonised world somewhere in the galaxy.
I wonder if the primarchs will ever reappear in the new 40k canon. It seems like we've been stuck in the stagnant 41st milennium for an eternity now. It would be cool if GW actually updated the fluff more instead of hurling new, peculiar looking units at us and stating that they've been in service for centuries...

He lasted the Heresy and was listed as one of the last (perhaps the last) in older fluff Primarchs to disappear, so he didn't just up and leave. If memory serves, Dorn lasted until the third black crusade, so Vulkan must've been around a fair while after Isstvan. He just didn't have a massive amount to do with imperial politics.
My guess is they'll expand on him in future when they *finally* get round to fleshing out the salamanders.

The salamanders do have the walk of fire i think its called were they give everything up and go out into the deserts of nocture so maybe this is vulkans equivalent cuz he feels like he let his sons and father down in the heresy cuz he couldnt take part?

Since second ed I think the fluff of where we are in the black crusade has only progressed a day or so and a few people have been kicking around warhammer 50k but I'd tend to disagree with that idea as what would other armies get other than csm and sm well start getting hive mind rules and khaine rules at which point matt ward would implode

He doesn't seem the type to just off it, as the Sallies seem to have quite an affinity for responsibility. A galaxy-size Walk Of Fire seems fitting, and it'd reflect the role of Vulkan He'stan quite well as he's doing a similar thing whilst artefact hunting. Maybe they'll meet up and hi-five at some point. There's a Black Library book out soon with a bit more of the Sallies in, as they've only been referenced thus far and not really played a major part in the series, at least in the bit that I'm up to anyway (still a few behind!). |
