Traitors. As much as I like to think I'm reasonably free minded there's something about the worship and/or necrophilia of a vegetable on a Golden Life Support System that just annoys me. And I am against the wanton slaughter of aliens you racist loyalist scum!

And Chaos > Emprah

You just couldn't handle the truth. God knows why anyone would want that cookie anyway. I can only imagine what foul demons possess such a thing as to make it stand on its side like that. I prefer my cookies horizontal and without eternal damnation. - Ridcully

Either that or take a 4+ cover save from all of GW's red tape blocking LoS to the way to play it. - Kitzz

Ya but, and Emperor forgive me for saying this, at least when you worship Chaos, you do so with the illusion of free choice as opposed to being born into an ideology.
Don't get me wrong, Chaos isn't chosen freely, you're slowly corrupted, but you think you choose, and that's enough for some.

So you'd rather go completely insane, worship dark gods that could honestly not care less if you live or die (except Khorne, who'd like you dead), and then after death have your soul consumed and tortured forever. Sounds great.

Traitor... I would have been the chaos marine who got way to drunk and threw a beer bottle at the big ol golden king space marine guy, to temporarily confuzzle him, whilst horus unleashed the greater daemon chuck norris from his weapon onto that udder guy... cause that makes sense!

Which is why my story makes sense... when horus struck the emperor with that fatal blow his soul clearly went into horus' weapon. and after a crap load of boredom he went into nerd rage... Horus found a time machine... went back in time to the fight, switched his own weapon with the new emp bound one, and hid in the crowd drunk whilst he threw bottles and watched himself beat the emp... which means... I would have been drunken horus in the crowd... while the former me had chuck norris fighting chuck norris and... wait a second, i can forsee a giant warp rift happening on the spot... I should write for black library mhmm

I see what you did there Alph.

For me the decision is not an easy one to make. I can identify with an equal number of Traitor and Loyalist Legions, those being the Luna Wolves, Imperial Fists, Night Lords and Space Wolves, each for their own reason. I suppose though I would chose the Traitor Legions after having become disillusioned with the Emperor and the Imperium due to the Emprah's withdrawal and the people he chooses to run it in his stead.

i'd like to think that I'd be a loyalist, but just look at it:
you can believe in chaos gods that you know are real because you can acctually see them
OR
you can believe that a dead man is fighting chaos, thousands of years after he died, and he wants everyone else to do the same

It's a simple decision really
