I want to see Russ DEAD. Whether by an Assassin, Lion or Magnus, I don't care. Put that rabid dog down.
I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Wouldn't it be insanly ironic for Russ to be ran over and killed by a Leman Russ Battle Tank? i want that to happen..... like hes playing fetch or someone threw his bone into the middle of the road and then next thing you hear is "Thunk! arf!" and then hes dead...

Doubly-ironic if it turns out Magnus has him chained to a wall in the Obsidian Tower on the Planet of the Sorcerers.

Why is it so hard to believe the emperor will be reborn? Yeah some planets might be over run by chaos but there is still going to be trillions of IG and millions of SM defending the imperium.

One of the lost Primarchs is found(with the grey knight’s box), takes he the emperor’s place as the head of the imperium. and the Emperor become the equal or superior to the Chaos gods, meanwhile the Primarch rewrites the way the imperium is run and allows for new technology. In The Emperor's death and proper replacement will allow the imperium to be restored at it’s full glory. And so shall begin the 42nd millennium with weapons and organization not seen since the dark ages of man.
Or so is what the rouge traders on the eastern fringe have told our water cast diplomats.

Emperor dies.....commander Dante takes over.....necrons build pylons and closes off warp......the void dragon (one of the c'tan) awakes and destroys mars......imperium kills all c'tan and all xnos and mankind lives happily ever after + Dante fixes all the imperiums flaws.

The emperor dies, empire goes through a period of chaos and while they pick themselves up the tau pick up mass amounts of the empire. I think of all the races the tau have a better chance of bringing order and keeping their new larger empire in alive.

They cannot simply absorb more than a relative handful of worlds without threatening the stability of their own Empire.
After all, every new world has to be integrated into the Tau Empire, which requires both time and resources.

Trudat, besides, no longer valid (sadly), C'tan are enslaved shards and nigh 100% of Cron elites have their own will and personalities which utterly butts heads with the oldcrons.
Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

Then again, this is fanfic, so one can just ignore tripe fluff...

WELL, We normally call a plumber when that happens.
But in all seriousness i would guess the imperium would be in unrest(their religion shattered) with only the SM worlds staying intact. Using this opprotunity the aliens wipe humanity off the map.

Everything continues as normal. The 10,000 psykers sacrificed each day to power the Astronomicon do exactly that. All the Imperial officials pretend the Emperor is still on life support.

Realms of chaos books actually cover this alittle. The cult of the star child. The reencarnation of the emperor comes into the universe. With his comming the inquisition trys to find him. As the lost primarchs come back to aid their reborn father and restore his rule. With the primarchs coming their chapter join then as they renew the imperium. As Abbadon trys to kill the star child he is defeated and cast into the warp. The tratior legions are crushed by the legion of the damned. The emperor is renewed in terra and once more seeks to complete his ultimate goal.
