The Changeling is quite frankly one of the most OP being in Warhammer. In fact, it is so overpowered it can easily win the Warhammer setting during the War in Heaven If the Chaos Gods wanted to give Horus a cakewalk victory then all the Changeling had to do is kill and impersonate Zagreus Kane PRIOR to the Schism of Mars!!! -'Kane' then personally goes to Koriel Zeth to kill her and take over her city. Same thing with Maximal. Kelbor-Hal gets the Akashic Reader so now he can MASS-PRODUCE twisted versions of the most powerful DAOT Warmachines immediately!!! -Schism of Mars is a one-sided slaughter as the vast majority of workers and soldiers on Mars are now part of the Dark Mechanicum -More Forgeworlds join Kelbor's traitors. The remaining Loyalist Forgeworlds now fight each other to appoint a new leader! -Legio Tempestus, Knight House Taranis and many other Loyalist Titans/Knights are not as loyal as they are in Canon. The Dark Mechanicum now has many more Titans and Knights -Sigismund and Fafnir Rahn die on Mars, even if they had brought several times as many troops as they did in Canon (This means Khârn doesn't die and he gets to kill Thane and the IF Libraruans in First Wall then kill Amit and Zephon in Warhawk THEN kill Raldoron and Amon Tauromachian in Echoes AND THEN kill Azkaerllon, Ollianius Pius, Khalid and a few Custodes in The End and The Death Vol 1 before finally dying!!!) -Ashen Claws are 'convinced' by 'Corax' to attack the White Scars in the Chondax system, killing 10k of Khan's sons in the process. They then attack the Wolves alongside the Alpha Legion. Ashen Claws are wiped out but they kill 20k of Russ's sons at Alaxxes Nebula. -'Sangiunius' orders the Blood Angels on Baal to attack the Shattered Legions, killing Shadrak Meduson and a few thousand SL Marines. Unable to tell truth from lie after the Changeling is exposed, hundreds of Blood Angels become Chaos-worshipping Blackshields. Corax is forced to take them out, losing a few hundred of his Marines in the process -Changeling then kills and impersonates countless Astarte and Imperial Army leaders so they and the soldiers under their command defect to Horus, at the worst moments for the Imperium -Archamus and Camba Diaz both die in Solar War along with 99.9% of the Loyalist ships, including the Phalanx. Corswain doesn't stand a chance (but he never makes it to Terra in the first place) -Horus reaches Terra much earlier in the war and with SEVERAL TIMES MORE forces in his Armada!!! Other ways Changeling can really do some damage: -Impersonate a missing Loyalist Primarch to deceive countless Imperials into worshipping Hurne (Chaos) and brutally rip apart the Imperium through civil war! -Impersonate Macharius after the real one dies. The Macharian Heresy causes much more damage to the Imperium, especially to Space Marines and Knights. Sabbat Worlds Crusade doesn't happen. Traitors occupy most of Segmentum Pacificus before the 13th Black Crusade
