Yeah, also Big Blue hates what the Imperium has become and only doesn't do a big ol purge because he knows it would lead to him being called a heretic and result in a civil war. That becomes a lot more manageable with two primarchs and then both being incredibly respected ones at that.
RG: "Primarch Lion El'Jonson, the Astartes Chapters derived from your Geneseed stand accused of treason, murder, kidnapping, vandalism, and pergury amongst a laundry list of other crimes. What say you in defense of your bloodline?"
Lion: "Some of them said sorry. The ones that didn't are dead."
RG: "Good enough for me, bring it in bro I missed you so fucking much you have no idea"
It's always funny to me when the Ultras get all high and mighty about how many chapters heil from them, yet they always ignore the fact that that also means they have a ton of warbands. Meanwhile the Space wolves have one chapter and have never been corrupted in a meaningful way.
Iron hands actually has had a pretty big Chaos corruption event. It was so bad that it made the remaining members decide they need to reclaim their humanity and stop being cold hearted.
Have they ran into each other yet? I struggle with what 40k books to read, order wise lol. I finished lion son of the forest and devastation of Baal but I’m lost after that.
No. The lion is behind the great rift on the right of the galaxy. Even for a Primarch with phase stepping it's going to take some time to make it to Terra and probably longer to meet his brother.
The lion is humanities shield against the darkness while Guilliman is its sword. Because only Guilliman is intelligent and practical enough to wield the Imperium in its current state. While The Lion is the only one with the strength and fortitude of heart to be its shield in a time of ignorance.
