..not your 40K.....

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.

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...

 

I know...I just needed something to replace all the eagles... I based it off the Marneus Calgar image in the old codex. <_<

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.

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.

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....

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

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...
