Pfft. Loyalists.


I would work extra hard to turn a few more legions to the true faith. I think that the Blood Angels are already half-worshipping both Khorne and Slaanesh, anyway. I mean, think about it: They appreciate the finer things in life, which, if the example set forth by the Emperor's Children means anything, is just a step away from falling into Slaanesh's multi-tentacled hermaphroditical grasp.

Their link to Khorne is painfully obvious. They drink blood. Lots of it. They thirst for it.


Sounds pretty Khorney.


Ahahahaha.

I kill myself.

Ok to be fair the Emperor, The Sigilite and maybe Magnus are the only two beings in the Imperium with Authority and more importantly the psker ability to tell that you aren't some crazy person with a wonderfully fabricated delusion.

The problem is they might think you some novelist who has crafted an elaborate heresy plot but considering you know way too much about the inner workings of the Great crusade they will probably believe you. Plus your knowledge of the 21st centuary would be beyond anything even the best archeologist knows and the Emperor could confirm that.

What I would do if they accept me for what I say I am and accept the knowledge of the Heresy I would

Immediatly have the Emperor contact Horus, explain as much as could be explained, terrible events comming etc

Cajole the Emperor into calling a council of the Primarchs(Much like Nikea)

Isolate Lorgar/Erebus/Kol'Pharon and the Word Bearers somehow

Have the Emperor meet Fulgrim in private and try somehow to destroy the demonsword/break its hold on Fulgrim

Pull Magnus back to Terra with his Legion (To Bolster the Imperial Fists and keep a closer eye on the Legions antics)

Have Horus designate Legions to relieve the Iron Warrior garrisons and reorganise a new expedition for the IW's to win glory

Now of course this is all requires the Emperor to not only accept what you've told him but also to turn away from whatever master plan he is hatching in the Imperial dungeons and the hope that you translated back in time that any of this would even matter.

By the 37 keys of Tzeentch,We open the way for our brothers,
By the 1000 whispers of Slaanesh we call to them,
By the 12 plagues of Nurgle we fell their enemies,
And by the mighty axe of Khorne we cut open the world for them!

This man has the right idea.

Gotta make sure Ferrus Manus dosen't get the ultimate b*tch slap by Fulgrim too.

And I would have The Sons of Horus relive the Iron Warriors. They need that.

And Abbadon might have an "accident" (never liked him anyway...)

Prepare to push the nids back with 12 legions of space marines.

Are will all assuming though that when the emperor looks at us are hearts dont stop, and that he dosnt get angry, and, yah know, our heads explode after he yells?

I don't think the Emperor needed much 'persuading' to fight with all his strength.... Horus was pretty bloated with Chaos Power at the time of their duel, and the common fluff states that the Emperor was only able to land the killing blow due to the chink in Horus' armor that was put there by Sanguinius.

So I'm pretty sure he was giving it his all. I mean, the fate of Man hung in the balance...

Kill Horus. I play Chaos, but it would have been easier to live without it's main prophet. If I lived in that time period, I would not want the powers of Chaos to be a factor in life.

Although if you kill Horus, someone else would take his place as the main "messuptheentiregalaxy" guy....

"From the fires of Betrayal unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favored Son of Chaos, all praise be given to him. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the Boon of Pain, to turn the Galaxy red with the blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods."

Alernatively time travel to M28 and tell the Emperor that the Space Marines are a bad idea. Maybe keep a closer look at the Primarchs though. Also ask him why it took him so long to get around to uniting humanity and why he let it fall apart to begin with. He was there the whole time, lazy corpse god.

30k?

Isnt that like a thousand years before the Horus Heresy?

I would warn in this order:
Magnus(along with explicit details NOT to use sorcery should he wish to contact the emperor)
Roboute Guilliman
Lion El'Jonson
Sanguinius

Then I would give each a list of all the future traitor legions, and inform them of the legions they can trust, along with reasons and circumstances. I would also warn of the Tyranid Invasion, and tell them to stay away from Tau Space.
