I would say the series has definitely opened my eyes to the humanity of many of the legions.

I now feel quite different about the roles of the Alpha Legion, the Night Lords, the Thousand Sons and even the Iron Warriors(though their story has yet to be told). You see a lot of the goodness in the now-traitor legions and a lot of the bad in the loyalist ones

Many of the texts in the 41st millennium paint the traitor legions as loose cannons murdering untold numbers as they slowly drifted towards madness. however when you read tales of heresy you realize that legions like the space wolves were just as guilty as the rest of their brethren when it came to committing genocide on a massive scale.

One thing that has radically changed in my mind is the opinion of the Emperor. He went from an all knowing master of humanity, to an arrogant fool with an impossible dream.

many argue the fact and say that his sons should have known their place and trusted the Emperors judgment. Thats all fine and dandy for us mortals, but for DEMI-GODS like the primarchs, need-to-know just doesn't cut the mustard. In an age of enlightenment the Emperor withheld knowledge about the most sinister threat to life in our galaxy, the primordial annihilator.

Additionally as far as Lorgar is concerned, the Emperor should have embraced and encouraged his son, not cast him down to grovel in the ashes of monuments raised to the Emperor himself. I bet he's having a custode kick him in his withered bum for that one.
