1 so The Lion, not a bad chap I suppose, shame he's a narcoleptic now. I did always like him though, unlike his sons post-heresy.

Angron. . . good times.

You're going to pretty much guarantee the Heresy instead.

I'd straighten lorgar out. I'd find a way to chain him to a chair and force him to watch some youtube atheist channels for a few hours. After watching logicked, Aronra, godless engineer, the amazing atheist, etc for a while he'd get over that religious fanaticism quick.

Aahhhhh, but only because he was raised religious by Kor Phaeron!

With me as his guide, he’ll understand why I’m atheist. Not gonna explain here because of rules. And frankly whilst I don’t believe, I do respect the rights of others to believe whatever they choose.

I feel like religiosity, per se, is not Lorgar's defining innate personality trait. Rather, it is his need to constantly look deeper and deeper into things, searching for a Truth that satisfies his intellectual and spiritual yearning (no surprise that he and Magnus were so close). So a Lorgar raised by 21st century atheists would not necessarily turn to religion, but might well turn to, say, internet conspiracy theories.

He’d possibly become a brilliant scientist, targeting one disease after another?

considering that normal humanity / ethical considerations also not apply for he would be virtually immortal compared to us, he'd turn that rather fast rather unethical...

IV so Ferris Manis I would have to hide all the electronics and buy him a super heavy duty neck guard.

Logar & me would get along well. We are alike in many ways. We'd talk about religion & expound on scriptures for hours. Preach and convert masses to the Holy Writ. The only thing I'd watch out for is Eberus & Kor since they would lead him down the path of damnation. I'd still stick to the religion he set down wether I was a normal human or a loyalist Word Bearer. Nothing would sway my conviction. Though it would most likely spell a bad end for me regardless if I was Astarte or not.

The Imperial Fist are perhaps the closest Legion to myself in conviction, stubborness. So I think having Rogal Dorn as a brother would be someone I'd work well with.

Vulkan shares alot of my personality and a kind soul. So he and his legion would be a good fit for me. I guess we would all be happy to have Vulkan as our brother.

Then Horus could be someone I'd get along with. He'd be the charismatic one overshadowing me but I wouldn't mind. I'd rather like it that way. Like with Logar I would try to prevent him from falling to chaos. Don't know if that will be successful. I'd be worried for him if he went into a chaos induced coma.

As for my own roll I got Corax & I like this outcome. Plus having a brother with his skill set would be useful and he could teach some skills to me in return. Considering the situation of Corax's childhood I'd most likely be a political/religious prisoner on Lycaeus. A thinker/preacher and not a fighter I'd be among those who would teach Corax as he grew. Wether I'd be young enough to become an Astartes when the Emperor did show up is up in the air.

I do hope I would survive the Isstvaan massacre but I'm going to say I end up surviving it.

Concerning Corax's current condition in the new lore I personally don't know if it is possible to steer him from the same path. Though I'd try my best to keep him from going down this path through advising him. I'd think that being his brother would allow my words to hold some weight. But he might just go ahead with his ideas despite my pleas or outright dislike of them. I'd caution him about purging his legion of Terran Astartes in the manner he ended up doing but I'm sure he'd go ahead with his own plan. I'd be against his banishment of Marcus Valerius due to the Praefactor's worship of the Emperor as a god. I guess there would be a couple of contentions between me and my brother on matters.

If I ended up surviving til the 42nd millennium and saw what Corax had become, due to Warp trickery like entering a warpstorm and being thrown out into the far future, I'd see him as a monster. A heavy blow seeing Corax being consumed with revenge and transformed into a living shadow. My only recourse would be to somehow make it back to the rest Raven Guard and pour myself into keeping the Chapter going. As a way of honoring the memory of my now "dead" brother.

Wait, maybe i could get him intensely into something i care about

I'll sway him into cooking! He'll become the galaxy's best celebrity chef. It's brilliant.

IV(4th) legion isn't Ferus Manis, you got Perturabo.

I rolled an 8... So I guess the entire neighbourhood would find flayed pets each time somebdy crossed our family growing up?

Also not sure How I feel about bats. He seems to like bats from the models.
I have no real knowledge as I haven't come across his story much apart from First Heretic so far as Im working my way up the BL HH series.

I wonder how many people re-rolled .

I just went with the first result that came which was Corax.

Nope, too late, you're stuck with the flat earther king.
