And how does your personal choice compare to what you think
GW would do??
A Space Marine chapter of some sort. Any of the loyalist ones really, be it
DA's, Space Wolves,
BT's, Blood Angels or Ultramarines. I'd have them well and truly piss off the Administratum doing something prideful but stupid, and get overrun and destroyed by the massed might of the Imperial Guard. (in all honesty, even using the
SM codex numbers of 1
SM for every dozen other men, it'd only really take about 2 or 3
IG regiments to match that, the rulebooks and codex's talk about literally *billions* of regiments around at any particular time, it's not like the
IG would even notice the casualties if they took on the entirety of the Astartes). It'd be rather original given
40k's previous background of the
SM's always emerging victorious against other Imperial factions, and would help tone down the ridiculousness that
SM's have been blown up to.
Now, as to what
GW would do? They'd probably Squat one of the Inquisition factions, and say the Space Marines destroyed them.
