				<title>Thousand Sons the only true Defence</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone,<br /> <br /> So on my journey to work i was thinking about this and i Just wanted your thoughts on which of the traitor legions loss was the biggest blow to the imperium... Do you think that if any one/two specific legion(s) had remained loyal it might have made a difference? Which one?<br /> <br /> In my opinion I think that the thousand sons were the single biggest blow to the imperium, especially due to their fascination to the warp... When the heresy struck and the true face of the warp was shown the thousand sons would have been in the single greatest position to protect against chaos.<br /> <br /> I forget where exactly and how it was out... But in Know No Fear:<br /> <br /> I <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(682);'>AM</span> TRYING THIS SPOILER THING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SO BE WARNED I MAY HAVE DONE <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(484);'>IT</span> WRONG<br /> <br /> <div style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:10px;">
<div class="gensmall" style="margin-bottom:2px"><b>Spoiler</b>: <input type="button" class="mainoption" value="Click to Show" onClick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Click to Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Click to Show'; }">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 7px; border: 1px inset;">
<div style="display: none;">
 SPOILER: Roboute says to someone that the whole council of nikea and the Removal of the librarians must have been Orchestrated as they were/would have been the only defence against what the Ultramarines were seeing on Calth.
</div>
</div>
</div><br /> <br /> What are all your thoughts.... They weren't a big legion but the thousand sons were in a unique position with their inherent talents to fight chaos.<br /> <br /> I know there were other big legions and thr numbers make a difference but I'm specifically talking about each of the traitor legions specific characteristics and whether these talents/attributes would have been big game changers<br /> <br /> Forgive thr spelling mistakes, it's Friday... I've had a bit to drink. <br /> <br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<title>Thousand Sons the only true Defence</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I havent read Know No Fear, so i dont know the context of how that quote came about but...<br /> <br /> Psykers are the single biggest threat when it comes to the Warp, they are the only ones in direct contact with it, which means that they are more easily corrupted/possessed/contacted than anyone else. SO, a whole legion of psykers who have been dabbling with the Warp with very little knowledge of its dangers? No, i dont think they would have been the protection you envisage.<br /> <br /> However, from what i have read Horus was duped into disbelieving Magnus when he tried to warn him, and the Emperor was forced into attacking the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(130);'>TSs</span> when Magnus tried to warn him (after the council), so it is entirely possible that the removal of the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(130);'>TSs</span> was orchestrated to purposefully take them 'out of play' as it were. My opinion? That there was potential for them to help the Imperium during the Heresy, but the opportunity arose during the beginning of the Heresy to take not only take them out, but to force them to <i>join</i> the Heresy, and this was seen as an opportunity too good to take...]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yes, but the thousand sons were extremely loyal... They believed that the emperor had completely abandoned them and had nowhere else to turn, at this point chaos was new to them and Magnus didn't know how manipulative tzeentch was, he had no understanding of the nature of chaos...

				<description><![CDATA[ I love me a bit of Horus canon but the story of the war on Tizca and the fall of the thousand sons has been done to death on this forum as has Horus's personality and subsequent fall to chaos ...

Also, yes, its <i>very</i> well done.<br /> <br /> <blockquote><div><cite>Compel wrote:</cite>To say Horus was 'duped' is wrong, however.

That better?<br /> <br /> I have read False Gods, and i (quite vividly) remember him being manipulated into already disbelieving Magnus before he manages to break through. I may be wrong, i will have to dig it out and re-read it if i am (please let me know, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(269);'>id</span> rather be told so i can re-read it and find out)<br /> <br /> <blockquote><div><cite>Magnus The Mauve wrote:</cite>Yes, but the thousand sons were extremely loyal...

However, you prove my point with your second sentence. They didnt know how manipulative Tzeentch is. Simple as that, and since they arent incorruptible, they would have fallen to Chaos anyway. Its sad, but nearly inevitable at that stage, <i>especially</i> because the Emperor kept knowledge of Chaos from them, they were <i>totally</i> unprepared....<br /> <br /> (and dont hash-tag, this isnt Twitter for Gods sake /personal opinion)<br /> ]]></description>

It is explicitly said by the Daemon in Prospero Burns that they (Chaos) orchestrated events to try to bring about the mutual destruction of the Thousand Sons and Space Wolves Legion, though in A Thousand Sons Tzeentch seems to have always planned for the Sons to become his Legion.

Horus changed orders from "bring  to kill" <br /> 3. Horus swayed Russ to break the Cyclops( based on <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(130);'>TS</span> novel) reasons are stated also (he wanted to remove one of the toughest legion from his way to terra and killing one legion who could actually hurt him)<br /> <br /> Truth is somewhere in the cloud....<br /> <br /> and once and for all  , here is the quote<div style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:10px;">

What advantage is that?’ asked Maloghurst, exactly on cue.<br /> ‘We have the advantage of surprise. No one yet suspects us of having learned the Emperor’s true plan, and in that lies our greatest weapon.’<br /> ‘But what of Magnus?’ asked Maloghurst urgently, ‘What happens when Leman Russ returns him to Terra?’<br /> Horus smiled. ‘Calm yourself, Mal. I have already contacted my brother Russ and illuminated him with the full breadth of Magnus’s treacherous use of daemonic spells and conjurations. He was… suitably angry, and I believe I have convinced him that to return Magnus to Terra would be a waste of time and effort.’<br /> Maloghurst returned Horus’s smile. ‘Magnus will not leave Prospero alive.’<br /> ‘No,’ agreed Horus. ‘He will not.’<br />

				<description><![CDATA[ Let's actually clear the air on this once and for all.<br /> <br /> Index Astartes: Thousand Sons<br /> <br /> This article has Leman Russ actually with the Emperor when Magnus sent his message that blasted the webway into the Imperial Palace.  In this instance, the Emperor orders Russ, directly, to unleash the Wolves upon the Thousand Sons.<br /> <br /> Index Astartes: Space Wolves<br /> <br /> This article has Russ convincing the Emperor that it was Magnus that was the traitor, not Horus, after Magnus delivers his message into the Imperial Palace and thus Russ is sent to sanction the Thousand Sons by the Emperor.<br /> <br /> Now we get to the new canon as presented by the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(320);'>HH</span> series that the Emperor sent Russ to "arrest" Magnus, but is then convinced by Horus to kill instead of "arrest" Magnus.<br /> <br /> So pick and choose as you please.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>
