It kind of sucks that no matter which primarch's side with chaos Magnus still gets fucked

[samuelbedsole]

I can just imagine a TTS version of this alternate timeline:
-Perturabo skulking around the Imperial Palace after throwing a hissy fit when Ferrus beats him at something.
- Jhagati Khan being brought back to Terra in a box by the now grandious Lunar Wolves
- Lorgar trudging through the depths of the Warp in search of some mythical mcguffin to resurrect Big E.
- Mortarion and Horus engaging in a spin-off adventure series on their way to Terra to spank the Khan back into the Eye of Terror.
- Alpharius/Omegon possibly, and then again maybe not, pulling the strings behind the scenes just as planned.

"where: in the grim darkness of the far future there was only war. He was shown visions of ghostly figures wreathed in flame & bone, a twisted mockery of the proud & noble legion astartes, he saw his beloved brother Sanguinius, dead before his fathers feet."

Dude, you seriously know how to put a lump in the throat of true 40K fans.

[StevetheWizard]

Love the way the final battle against the Arch-Traitor went down.
Dorn: "Join us, and you too will be blessed by the god of war."
Angron: "Fuck your rebellion, fuck your gods, and fuck you."

>alternate history where Magnus is a good boi
>dies immediately
Goddamnit

[greengiant]

Conrad Curz is now best primarch. "Father sends his regards..." gave me literal chills.

[GentlemanBystander]

Angron: "WHERE ARE THE TRAITOROUS HERETICS, EQUERRY!?"
Kharn: [sighs]

Angronala is now part of my head-canon. This is utterly fantastic, I wish I could up vote this 1000 times, you, sir, have earned a patron.

[Watcher]

I would donate to help get this made in a proper Novel or Comic. Best line

"I'am Alpharius."

Nailed it. 10/10

[michaels]

NEED SEQUEL! That ending with the Lost and the Purged... I love every bit of this so much that I started building a Heretical Ultramarine army and a Loyalist World Eaters successor chapter, the Dogs of War

[axeguy]

The Primarch of the 11th legion was sent out for coffee by Dorn and Malcador and without sufficient coin. He was never seen again...

[Drewscipher]

2:58:00 "A blinding light caught his gaze" basically proof that the Imperial Fists spent so much time around shiny shit they had gotten used to being nearly blinded.

[kasrkinvalchez]

I love how Dorn was shown the canon Horus Heresy in his visions.

[bobross]

I just came across this at like 2 in the morning and ended up spending nearly 4 hours just listening to this in the dark, this was amazing, I love how you handled it, Angronala, The Men of Iron coming back into the Imperial's fold, Konrad's final battle (He's not dead somehow I just know it), Mortarian and Purturabo finally getting some love, Lorgar being a badass, Alpharius being Alpharius, the Ending(not gonna spoil in case peeps haven't seen the end yet) all of it, it all worked and I loved it, you'll probably never read this but this story was a legitimately great what if, I and many others would love to see more, but that's probably not going to happen since it seems you got a bit of the GW syndrome and are going to leave us hanging for 20 years until you return to the story only to flip it on its head, and I personally can't wait, those 20 years don't got back shit on my hype, it shall persist!

[ArdanTheHalfDragon]

This is, by far, the most heretical thing ever created. It is somehow more heretical than the Horus Heresy itself.

[horuslupercal]

I'm kinda confused. Why is Mal on the Mournival instead of Little Horus?

I love how Curze just goes around and trolls everyone.

[globaltheater]

Guilliman: "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?"

Kurz: "BECAUSE IM (BATMAN) THE NIGHT HAUNTER!"

>Robute becomes obsessed with the Oculus

He was totally playing VR Chat

[athatcher]

Magnus died, am sad...
Fulgrim died, am double sad...
Vulcan dies.... there are not numbers high enough to enumerate my sorrow, it is unending...

[rsound]

Ave imperator heretic. Lorgar is best character

[josiegreene]

All it took to make Perturabo smile was a complete reversal of history.

Good for you buddy, we just want you to be happy.
