Leman Russ seemed pretty willing to start turning on his brothers if Nicea went against him. I'd say the Emperor would keep Magnus, Lose Russ and both sides would have psykers.
The Imperial Webway would have been built, with Magnus guarding the Warp side and Dorn guarding the Mortal side.
This would have meant additional reinforcements in the defense of Terra. I think the emperor likely would have made it, with Magus being able to teleport.
The Emperor would ascend, but Chaos would still be there. We'd have a game with Leman Russ as a Khorne Prince, Magnus as a leader of psyker loyalists. The eternal war would continue and other than a faction swap and some slightly different Imperial technology not much would change. Automatically Appended Next Post: Just realized that you wouldn't then be able to call them Leman Russ tanks. I'd be deploying Rogal Dorn or Robert Gulliman tanks.
