Worst Warhammer 40k Story Idea Ever?

[Lathe Biosas]

THE PERPETUAL PARADOX

A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

 

THE GREATEST SECRETS OF THE HERESY WERE NEVER MEANT TO SURVIVE.

 

For ten thousand years, the Imperium has endured beneath the shadow of the Emperor's greatest failure.

 

Now, that failure is about to be repeated.

 

When the immortal John Grammaticus is cast into the Era Indomitus, he discovers that Belisarius Cawl has enacted a final contingency hidden since the Siege of Terra itself: the Primarch Ascendant Project, a secret endeavour to create a new generation of Primarchs from perfected gene-stock recovered from the Emperor's lost vaults.

 

But another relic of the Age of Darkness has returned.

 

Erda.

 

Haunted by the consequences of scattering the Emperor's sons, she is determined that no new Primarchs will ever walk the galaxy. To prevent mankind from repeating its oldest tragedy, she must forge an uneasy alliance with the one man who has witnessed every turning point in humanity's forgotten history.

 

Only the Ultramarines stand in their way.

 

Summoned from the Warp by a vision from the Emperor Himself, Supreme Grand Master Kaldor Draigo uncovers a truth concealed since the founding of the Chapter: Marneus Calgar was never chosen to lead the Ultramarines. He was the Grey Knights' first failed Supreme Grand Master, his memories erased by Malcador and his destiny rewritten to preserve the Imperium's final hope.

 

As Guilliman struggles to reconcile the revelations of the past with the desperate necessities of the present, ancient loyalties fracture. The Ultramarines march to defend Cawl's work. The Grey Knights prepare to destroy it. Across the stars, Chaos gathers to claim a new generation of demigod  before either side can prevail.

 

The truth of the Horus Heresy was only the beginning.

 

The final chapter of the Emperor's greatest secret is about to be written.

(This is an excuse to bring everyone's favorite Horus Heresy character: John Grammaticus to the 41st Millennium. )

Uhhh... Tzeentch, maybe? 

 

Or just really good writing from an excellent author.

Well since she was destroyed it might have taken Tzeentch to intercept that blow, but definitely makes a good plot twist. Now she can begin to seek out her sons and maybe even woo a few away from the other chaos gods, she wins and Tzeentch wins.

Hmmm... maybe it was all a Cabal plan after all.

 

Plus, I don't honestly think Tzeentch wants to win. I think he has plans that contradicts his other plans.

I did not realize Tzeentch is ok with losing.

Have you seen his followers?

 

I can't remember any battle that they won. I did write a poem about them though.

 

 

Ode to the Thousand Sons

 

Oh, sons of Magnus, born of fire and flame,

Your hearts ablaze with knowledge, your souls aflame.

You sought to wield the power of the warp and time,

To bend reality to your will, to make the impossible sublime.

 

Ahriman, your name is whispered in awe and reverence,

A master of the mystic arts, a weaver of fate's dark essence.

Your eyes, like stars, shine bright with ancient wisdom's light,

Guiding your brothers through the labyrinth of the warp's dark night.

 

Your Legion, forged in the crucible of Tizca's burning sands,

Tempered by the trials of the Great Crusade's unforgiving hands.

You walked the thin line between sanity and madness, ever true,

To the ideals of your Primarch, and the secrets he imparted to you.

 

Your sorcery, a gift from the gods, a key to unlock the gates,

Of hidden knowledge, and the mysteries that lie beyond the fates.

You wielded it with precision, with art and with design,

To shape the universe, to make the impossible align.

 

Oh, Thousand Sons, your legacy lives on, a testament to your might,

A shining beacon in the darkness, a guiding light in the endless night.

Your names etched in the annals of history, forever told,

As heroes, as visionaries, as the masters of the mystic arts, forever to hold.
