Glory to the Twelfth! Glory to Angron!
"Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

While it would be much more expensive to get a real Baneblade for this, I think it would be safer and easier to use one instead of physically fighting for it. Seriously, would you hand over DLS's book to a wimpy high school student (grad in one more week! =D) who asked for it, or would you hand it over to a guy who has all the firepower a Baneblade can give aimed at your head?

All I got to say is after 43 pages I hope someone else has but I'm going to just in case.
First of all saying the Emperor dies is going to well screw over the Empire for the fact that he was one of the major reasons warp travel was possible so.. Its going to make things difficult. Chaos is going to get bigger just cause its obvious.
Second its been argued back and forth countless times but I feel its worth saying again I'm pretty sure if the golden throne broke that the Emperor would just get up and take back the reigns of the Empire, unite the marines again, Leman Russ comes back along with the other primarchs and the last battle happens where the Emperor stomps across the damn galaxy to blow up the Eye of Terror.

Did you bother to read this epic saga?
Just your stating of these 'facts' is an epic fail

That article is good, but it's not fully up to date. It only goes up to when the one Tyranid hive ship absorbs necrodermis, unfortunately. It doesn't have the Second Battle of Terra or any of the epicness of the 642's raid on the Imperial Palace, the Inquisitor's or any of the recent awesomeness. You'll have to read all 43 pages of DSL's epicness to get fully up to date.

Hheeheh, if we're lucky DLS will get a whole series of books to write for Black Library. Then we can all get our little shout outs to our SM chapter, Imperial Guard (707th Lubyankan, Or Lubyankan in general just fyi. ). And even if none of us get our own shout outs, I'm just more looking forward to buying up the first copy of the 642 series as quickly as I can.
But as awesome as the news about our Lord and Master's success in the field of writing is....I can't help but notice that no one has called for more fluff in a while. As such, I will be the jerk who rebegins the call for:
MOAR  FLUFF!!!
Yet again.
