It's time to decide on one of those age old questions. If you were a Space Marine when the Heresy broke out, Which side would you pick, and why?

I myself am going to remain neutral.

/discuss.

Loyalist all the way. Going traitor sounds fun at the start but being stuck in the eye of terror for 10000 years is going to get boring. After 13! black crusades those chaos marines must be getting quite .


Also... IT'S HERESY

Traightors will always end up getting the short end of the stick.Sure you get to cause pain and suffering and get rewarded for it but who wants to spend the rest of eternity as either a Blood-sucking dog headed dragon, a walking pus-bag,a giant bird thing who can pull a rabbit out a hat or a perverted-he/she thing who loves its pot too much.I'll tell you doesn't.No self-respecting human being.Loyalists all the way!

I didnt want to ruin all i've fought for and also wont go against my battlebrethren so:

Loyalist.

Surprised?


PS: to the traitors

The Emperor left us to do his work. We're not just tools for him to use. Besides, we'll get infinite power from the Chaos Gods. For the Warmaster!

But you abandoned your legions,you became ugly little beasts with emotional problems and on top of that you guys end up almost killing your father.Try to live with that on your conscience.

Loyalist. Chaos promises power, but with great power comes great responsibility, ill just stick to killing xenos and heretics

Don't forget praising the Emperor.

Loyalist.Don't like mutation that you get if you worship chaos gods.Besides your soul is forefeit and after death you will be tortured for all eternity until emperor destroys chaos god and that destroy thing isfrom eye of terror(novel). to heretics,mutants and unclean and Creeeeeeeeed would outflank any traitors when they would somehow managed to attack Holy Terra.What's that behind door a Baneblade creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed Failddon is fu...ed.

I fight for freedom, not to further the goals of your corpse emperor.

You Loyalist better hope your not in an legion which turned to chaos or a loyalist legion in the drop pod massarce.

Loyalists cause at the end of the day Im not going to be any gods Gimp.

Believe me, no legion I am in would turn.
Just kill the agents of chaos and save your Primarch.

About Isstvan: I'll be back. You cannot run far enough in this galaxy to escape my wrath .....

Loyalist 100 percent. I think that the concept of the Imperium when the Emp was alive is how things should be run united humanity deserves to rule the stars!!!!

Loyalty to the true Emperor! Redeem the traitors with sword and fire!

I as a SW player would stay loyal. There is nothing worse than an oathbreaker

As for staying neutral or sitting on the sidelines let the DA do that, no proud son of Russ would be caught dead staying neutral

Another reason for staying loyal is that I like my arms the shape they are. IMHO there are a lot better ways of saying "good job" than a long purple tentacle.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Neutral?

There is NO neutral in this war!

You've just numbered yourself amongst the enemy!

Anyway, yeah, For The Emperor!

Indeed!

Loyalist. The Chaos gods don't care about humanity at all and only use them for pawns. The Emperor cares about mankind and was the one who lead them to nearly conquer the galaxy.

Loyalist. Chaos is nifty on the surface, until you start growing extra arms and mutating other things. Not really a pretty site.

CHAOS!!!!

Who wants to be a slave to a dead icon? Kill in the name of a corrupt regime? for the greed of lesser men, men who have never drawn blood themselves, or walked the battle-fields of a hundred worlds?

The Imperium of man is a place of hate and suppression, of ignorance and stagnation, of fear and slavery......I would willing enslave myself to a God who rewards my deeds, who craves my sacrifice and honours the skulls I place at its throne!

As a follower of the free paths, I can use my strength as I see fit, to help or hinder as I see fit, to protect or punish as I see fit, to free or enslave those below me!

Chaos is the path to freedom and enlightenment, chaos is our true nature, we were made to be gods, not slaves to mortals!

@ Alpharius have you read Legion? And while there still is no neutral the Alpha legion is the closest you can come to it.

Traitor, if thats what you want to call it. Not that i'd do evil things, just because I wouldn't want to be stuck serving for the good of the Imperium, who's general population follows more blindly than Americans.

Foolish heretic. You do not see that, like Horus before you, you are merely a pawn of the Chaos gods, to be disposed of on a whim. You follow Khorne, eh? Well, you will think twice when your god decides that you have outlived your usefulness. Then you can place one final skull at his throne... yours!

Chaos.

Any fool-Emperor who would restrict one of his sons from using his gift that was GRANTED BY THE EMPEROR HIMSELF (i.e. Magnus the Red) doesn't deserve lackeys and lapdogs.

The Emperor wanted to bring the galaxy under HIS heel, despite whatever was said about uniting Humanity. Well, uniting humanity...yes, under HIS rule. None of this brotherhood stuff. As they say, all empires fall. The only constant is CHANGE. Tzeentch is the only entity that is the universal truth.

Everyone is blinded by thoughts of loyalty and honor. For loyalist marines, where's the honor is butchering whole populations that cant defend themselves just because they refuse to kneel to a false god?

I'd be a loyalist all the way.
But if I would belong to one of the heretic SM chapters, I'd stay there.

Whoa whoa whoa...you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Screw the Imperium!
Fulgrim and Slannesh anyday!

C-C-C yeah!!!!!!

You dont have to follow one of the gods. If you were in the Night Lords, Iron Warriors or Alpha legion, you wouldnt become mutated.

Personally, having black eyes and having biological night vision would be sick. Plus, Night Lord tactics revolve around effective combat strategies and minimal casualties. They are the best of the best, and I think it would be safest there haha.

Well the Emperor's Children were really the screwballs of the war. Instead of fighting with the others we went on a rampage slaying civillians.
And after we were the first to go out and raid the imperium.

Although I think being with the Night lords or the Iron Warriors would be cool too.
