      Angron would have died, as by the time him and lorgar got to ultramar it was clear his mental deterioration was almost about to kill him so without ascension he never would have made it to tera.
      Magnus wouldn't have gone traitor, as without tzeench magnus did not have the power to break into the web way to cause the tear, and therefore rus would not have been sent to take him in and magnus would not be split apart therefore remaining loyal. Tbh that alone would have prevented 40k entirely as the emp only had to sit on the throne becuase of the tear, and the loyalist only lost so much ground bc the emp and the custodies had to hold back the demons in the webway. If there was no war in the webway the custodies would be at full strength; the emp could personally lead; and the loyalist forces would have been much more consolidated as the emp could most likely pierce the ruin storm and contact the lion, gman, sang and the khan.

    • @praiza1481
      @praiza1481 4 месяца назад +20

      Let's see.
      -Angron would remain traitor.
      - Fulgrim was possessed by a daemon so he would be done as well. Perhaps the Emperor could have banished the daemon somehow and save Fulgrim?
      - Magnus' soul was fractured. Without his noble shard, it would be absolutely impossible for him to repent.
      - Konrad is just crazy. No way he would repent or even surrender. He might have just decided to bail on Horus though, try his luck on a corner of the galaxy that hopefully the Big E wouldn't reach for a long time.
      - Alpharius was dead certain the Heresy was what the Big E wanted so no way he would turn back now.
      - Lorgar was a zealot in a crusade of his own to purge the Emperor from the galaxy, so... yeah.
      - Perturabo might have surrendered, being the only one with a shred of sanity amongst the traitors. Or, more likely, he would have either bailed on Horus as well, not willing to lay down his life, or chosen to go down with his legion in a glorious, terrible, awe-inspiring final stand.
      - Mortarion is the only one I have some doubt as to his repentance. Depends a lot on if the Emperor's forces get to him before he's completely corrupted by Nurgle. Otherwise he's done as well.
      tl;dr : I think none of the traitors would have chosen surrender or repentance. They were either too far gone already or too set on their path of destruction.

      @@praiza1481just read ‘through a mirror shattered’ part of ‘The Primarchs’ anthology.
      If you’ve heard major talk about when the 3rd legion did ‘cock and ball torture’ to try and save Fulgrim from possession, that’s the book he’s referring to.
      Spoilers:
      After torturing Fulgrim by many means to try and exorcise him of the demon eventually Fabius Bile, Lucius and the First Captain of the 3rd legion determine Fulgrim was not actually possessed by the demon. I think it’s supposed to be a kind of reader choose how you interpret it thing, but it basically ends up the same way regardless. He felt bad after he killed Ferrus, only reason he killed him is because the Keeper of Secrets trapped in the Layer blade ‘made’ him do it. He surrendered to the Keeper and turns his body over to its control. Immediately regrets turning his body over.
      In broken mirror if you follow the opinion of Lucius and what Fulgrim says, Fulgrim was able to - by will and intellect - reverse the situation with the demon, trap it in the mind prison the demon created and gain more power from it while being Fulgrim again. Fulgrim basically says he just sided with the traitors because he was dedicated to the path of Slaneesh (excess and decadence) so he was able to cope with his guilt over Ferrus over time by saying it’s just another step on the path.
      The point of contention is is he really in control of himself, with the demon in his mind talking to him like the layer blade did before (the blade never spoke to Lucius so it was with Fulgrim one way or another)? Or was he controlled by the demon the whole time?
      Either way it doesn’t REALLY matter bc he did the angel exterminatus, but it would be an interesting difference if he CHOSE to do it himself rather than the demon just doing it to get a more warp infused body. I think it makes sense at least in comparison to Magus and Mortarion bc when they fell to chaos they were formed into demon Primarchs, Fulgrim still had his regular physical body until he did an even greater (more excessive) betrayal against Perturabo for no other reason than to do it.

    • @Joni_Tarvainen
      @Joni_Tarvainen 4 месяца назад +9

      Since we can't be 100% sure which of the twins really fell in Pluto station, nor which one really was more traitorous and which more loyal it could go multiple ways.
      That being said, my reading is that it was Omegon who fell to Dorn and Alpharius is the loyal one who faked his death by the hands of Guilliman. I would theorize that his return would most likely begin with activation of the Alpha legionnaires under the Imperial palace in Terra with the word "Xenophon".
      That would activate the Alpha as loyal to the Imperium and most likely would start a shadow crusade against Harrowmaster who has denied the twins agenda and legacy, trying to bring down the Imperium.
      Alpharius would likely start to bring the loyal Alpha chapters under his banner and not reveal himself to his now active brothers before proving his loyalty to the throne.
      It could also be a possibility that Cypher actually is the remaining twin, considering how Alpha Legion was supposed to be sort of contingency plan for the Imperium. After all Cypher knows the palace underground and has been stopped by Custodes while trying to enter the throne room with the sentence of "It's not the time yet" all while carrying the sword he's quite famous for. We do not know what the contingency plan is nor we know what is Cypher's agenda, but considering the ever growing sentiment of Emperor's possible ascension to the Godhood, it would make logical sense that being the contingency. Slay the Emperor's mortal form, so he can be elevated to Godhood after ten millenia of worship and bring upon the new era of Mankind.
      Of course all of that is just a web of vague possibilities born from theorizing several aspects, but hey, who knows. After all it is Alpha and nothing is simple what it comes to them.

      I do think BigE was a a egomaniac who shot himself in the foot because he wasn't willing to listen to anybody but himself which obviously led to his downfall yeah BigE is a crappy father and somewhat a crappy leaders whos "listen to me because im right or else" screwd him over. Though his 1000 times way better than the perpetuals he was far from humble.
      One of the pit falls of being to old to care I gues.
      I just feel like I need to call out people like Fo one of BigEs DAOT homies, and the other perpetuals hypocrisy a Fo went out of his way to create monster's purely for the shits and giggles because at least BigEs monster's though objectively worse they saw themselves as something more than that and held there own ideals because at least BigE didn't take pleasure in just full sail slaughtering people and genuinely wanted to build a future where mankind didn't have to rely on said Gene rought monster's to survive and was genuinely banking on the idea Mankind would be better of in the future.
      It doesn't mean FO wasn't some what wrong as he was genuinely spitting straight facts about the Emperor, nobody denying that fact, but what does Fo do with his monster's? I mean the only reason why the imperium went after him was because the guy was busy sending fleets to kidnap cities worth of people just so he could turn them in to living flash walls for his basement.
      And that's my issue with the Perpetuals as all they do is complain and call out BigE well they either do the same exact things his done or do absolutely nothing to fix the cluster fuck that is the galaxy and complain with BigE being the only guy *at least* doing something well everybody is just standing around like a bunch of NPCs not at least attempting to fix the sinking ship.
      If anything there just a bunch of half blind back seat drivers. But whenever you start asking them what is there plan they all just shut up and Tut of somewhere. Ollie practically did fuckall for most of human history, Erda threw the primachs in to the feet of the Chaos gods indirectly causing the Horus heresy and Fo is out here kidnapping planetary populations for no other purpose other than he just likes mutilating people.
      I don't think Fo was completely wrong at all but when you start leveling him down to the other perpetuals you begin to question if they even have the basis to call out the Emperor when all they do is hide in a dark Connor and complain while doing the same exact crap BigE does i be it on a smaller scale. Not atleast attempting to stop the ticking time bomb before everything goes up in flames because even though the Emperor's plan didn't work he at least slowed down the invetible and gave everybody's time to get there shit together,
      better than doing nothing.
      I'm not saying the Emperor's way was the only way as he genuinely wasn't most of the time but when you start to examine and compare him to the other Perpetuals who all they do is spit ball and hide. You begin to understand why everybody actively pretends they don't exist as they've never served any other narrative purpose that isn't just talking smack and hiding when push comes to shove

    What if the Silent King never got rid of his Command Protocols and took (almost) all the Necrons with him out of the galaxy to perhaps find a new and better one and come across the Tyranids?
    What if the Great Crusade had all the Primarchs and none turned Traitor, but there were no Astartes?

    I find it hard to believe that the Emperor would straight up execute Alpharius when he can just as easily keep him captive. I think he would converse with him to get him back on his side and tell him all the secretes Alpharius has amassed, all the Intel he has on the traitors and such. Bringing the Alpha Legion to the Loyalist side, especially when they have half a million Astartes as is suspected, would be the greatest advantage in the war. Singlehandedly compensating for the 3 cut off legions at once.

    one thing you get wrong with the end list is that it wouldn't be so simple for the Imperium to just take the galaxy. even with the webway project, it wouldn't be this instant dub for humanity. if the emperor actually did manage to weaken chaos with his project (whatever it was), it would also weaken slaanesh, which means the eldar could very well all of a sudden become MUCH more powerful as they could use their full powers without as much fear of slaanesh coming for a snack.
    also the necrons would hardly be destroyed so easy. if they awoke to find a galaxy with a unifed strong human empire running it, they wouldn't fuck around with infighting between dynasties, and an even somewhat unified necron empire would be a force to be reckoned with. the necrons have some pretty crazy doomsday weapons so them randomly vaporizing terra from afar is 100% something they could try to do.
