The result would not be changed, as the Cabal foresaw only 2 outcomes, Horus winning or losing, the Emperor dead or 95% dead. Horus lost even with the Alpha Legion on his side, so I'd say that at the end Horus will still have lost, Empy would still be on his gold toilet, and they'd just have a bit less confusion throughout the galaxy as the Alpha Legion would have sent their operatives to sow unity rather than chaos.

Yeah, but the cabal already were wrong. They claimed that if the alpha legion switched sides Horus would win. I think that helps validate my opinion that either they were talking out of their arses or they were actually chaos supporters. I don't think that they can really be relied upon as a trustworthy.

Alternatively, the Alpha Legion was capable of changing the outcome, but didn't manage to.
