Reading through the warhammer wiki I begin to wonder what would happen if certain events or things didn't happen.

For example, if Lorgar never existed, would the heresy happen?

Discus everything. I am interested to see what you come up with.

Perhaps the biggest thing that is often on my mind is that if the Emperor hadn't been such a wuss - in other words, if he had been a Black Templar! - and let Horus do a number on him, things would obviously be quite different indeed.

With the black library books selling as well as they are (Given the size of the fanbase), I can see them trying a "What If?" series were the heresy never happened.

That or they'll make a million Post Heresy fallout books.
