drkwalker Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Looking through the thread in the B&C, I started thinking about what would have happened if the Loyalist Primarchs had turned Traitor, and vice cersa. What if Magnus had won the Council of Nikea? What if the Emperor accepted Lorgar's worship? ...Roboute Guilleman is so incensed at Horus's appointment as Warmaster, and the Emperor's betrayal of the Imperial Truth that he turns to Chaos as true Gods to prevent the Emperor's Ascension? ... and so is born the Dark Lord of Macragge. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k240/evilbastard666/DarkLordofMacragge.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150957-not-your-40k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelos Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I believe somebody did a whole army of dark ultras a while ago on here. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150957-not-your-40k/#findComment-1755664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liltom Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Yeah, between those and the colour scheme, doesn't look ultra-chaos-marines enough. Just looks pimpin' night lords to me :rolleyes: Excellent drawing though.

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I like it. Batwings are a little Night Lordish but whatever. Loyalist Angron? I mean, if the Emperor had helped out his buddies he might be a hell of a lot warmer towards the guy...

MotherFuhrer Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I bet Chaos Salamanders would end up going Tzeentch, and their elite warriors will end up turning in to huge lizards. I'd like to see that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150957-not-your-40k/#findComment-1757136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervantes3773 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think loyalist Thousand Sons would be viewed in much the same way that Iron Hands are. You know, part of the Imperium but separate because they would have so many librarians (like Iron Hands are so close to the Mechanicus). However, traitor Iron Hands would probably follow Undivided, like Iron Warriors. Regardless, I really like that art work and would like to see more... especially with goatees on the evil versions of the loyalists.

Legacy40k Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 What if Fulgrim heeded the words of Eldrad instead of attacking him and he went to stop Horus and brought him back to the emperors light. Ferus Manus and his chapters obsessions with the weakness of flesh led to them embracing the mutations that chaos would give to them.

Thunder_god Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 This is a very intriguing concept, much akin to the 'Mirror Mirror' episode of Star Trek. I'll have to ponder this. The Emperor & Horus fighting together on Terra? Imagine the possibilities!

cervantes3773 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Clearly, the Blood Angels would fall to Khorne. Would the Dark Angels follow Tzeentch or Undivided? Would the Khan be seduced by Slaanesh, Khorne, or Undivided? Either way, no one would trust the Alpha Legion. Ha ha ha!

DavidKits Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 i pondered over this idea for a long time... and even was working on planning a contest here in rl about doing a roles reversed event. paint up a 1000 point force of one of the sides just remembering that all present loyalists and chaos marines were switched the price i was gonna do was a full sized army box of the first place winners choice. while i did this i was also pondering over who would go where. so i made up this. Loyalists will be on this side. Chaos on the opposite to show whose route would be swapped with whoms as i thought would fit. Ultramarines ----> Black legion (this being obivious as they are the same more or less of each other in the codex) Imperial Fists ----> Iron Warriors (both are masters of seige warefare fits well) Raven Guard -----> Night Lords (hit and run masters) Space wolves -----> World Eaters (seems fitting as the wolves are already almost as primal and both are CC monsters for there units ^_^) White Scars: -----> Death guard (all that was left to fill in...though the idea crossed my mind about the WOlves with guard) Blood Angels: -----> Emperors Children (can't remember this ones idea) Dark Angels: -----> Alpha Legion (both are secretive on what they do) Salamanders -----> Word Bearers (Both heavily relay on civilians, be it abuse or protect) my thoughts on how this would work was that each of the primarches landed on different worlds and grew up in the role that is shown here. for example gullimen growing up in the way Horus did etc etc. it was a thought but could always be changed. i never really got the contest up and running sadly. really would like too....

cathar the great Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's fun to think about stuff like that. Though it would fit other sections of this board more I think ^^ I once did a sketch of the very often depicted Crimson Fist with Power Fist (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) and made him chaos-y, I'll see if I can dig it out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150957-not-your-40k/#findComment-1759431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brotherAkkyshan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I really like this idea! Though I can see why you paired off the Blood Angels and the Emperor's Children (i'm assuming you were considering their "artistic" sides!) I think an alternative World Eaters chapter would have more in common with them. At the moment you have the Angles afflicted with the "black rage", but I can see a loyalist World Eaters chapter suffering with something similar. After thousands of years of continued augmented implants, their gene-seed would now be reaching the point where it was genetically dependent on the implants. Their techmarines would be furiously searching for a way to use the gene-seed without need for implants (like the Blood Angels looking for a cure for the black rage). They could even have their own Death Comapny, veteran marines whose implants have degenerated, effectively driving them mad with rage! What does everyone else think? I'm starting to like this idea more and more... I can see a (small) army being put together! Loyalist World Eaters using Blood Angels Codex rules? Hmmm...

BrianBlessed Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ha I love the picture. Its heresy. I have to agree brotherAkkyshan I think that the blood angels are more of a parable to Worldeaters, than Emperors Children.

jlmb_123 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It's a cool idea. I could see the Ultramarines becoming predominately worshippers of Slaneesh. they're such loser perfectionists...
