How are the Cadian regiments spread throughout the Galaxy reacting you think? Probably more than one Fortress World originally settled by Cadians screaming bloody murder.

In cadian blood (start of 13th crusade), all the cadians are pissed off not to be fighting on Cadia, so I'd say they would take Cadia going splat somewhat badly.

So what happened to all the other planets in the system and the surrounding systems??? If Cadia is gone is the fighting still on going?

Lol, people thinking Guilliman did anything wrong. Back to 4chan with you!

The Imperium lasted ten thousand years on the back of him and Malcador. Could you imagine if Huron got a Legion's worth of Marines and then went rogue?

Compartmentalizing things, especially after the reveal of the ruinous powers, was a good thing. If what FW said is canon (that members of the loyalist legions went traitor/chaos and vice versa) then Guilliman would know that the only way to ensure another Legion doesn't fall is to split them up, especially if him and his loyal brothers start dying off.

Out of universe, we wouldn't have all these cool successors like the Minotaurs, Raptors, Soul Drinkers (another good example of why things had to be split), etc. Not even mentioning that it's been GW's fluff since the beginning.

who said Gulliman did anything wrong? as far as he'll see it, the Imperium has corrupted his fathers dream.

except sitting back in a huff because things have changed isn't in Gulliman's character, he'd not the pratical realities of the situation, develop ideas to change it so it could be better and move to impliment them in a realistic fashion. the HH novels keep talking about Gulliman and his tendancy for "the pratical and the theoretical" he just doesn't seem the type to be in a huff.
He's more the type to save terra and the IoM and THEN suggest reforms and changes

you would be surprised, Gulliman will try to change things but the IoM will not wish to change, so he will leave the IoM to fend for itself while setting up Ultramar for defenses against any and all who come calling.

would I now? do you have some deep insight into GW's plans that allow you to state your opinion as fact? we both agree, Gulliman will try to change things, we both agree, Gulliman will meet resistance. where we DISAGREE, is what his response would be. I belive he'd take a long view, address what he can now, including stop the complete collapse agaiunst chaos, while doing so he'd slowly, and carefully begin steps for incremental changes etc. including taking steps to place people sympathetic to his views on the council. he'd be willing to abandon terra if it made sense sure, but he's not gonna sulk off to go elsewhere just because of a bit of beurcratic interia.

Anyone know what troops and forces e.g is there a an order of battle leaked anywhere apart from that one page that has a few chapters and AddMec on???

Spoiler:

Well that is a heck of a plot. It makes me excited for what they do with eldar, orks, tau, and necrons proper. If that is how big these plot lines are then think big for what could happen to all of these folks because it will probably end up happening.
