After their defeat, the brother-primarchs Rogal Dorn and Jaghaitai Khan are barely able to escape Terra, gathering whatever remained of the broken remants of their legions, the Blood Angels, Custodes, and members of the Adeptus Mechanicum. They rendevous with the Ultramarine and Space Wolves fleets previously en route to Terra. They traveled fast, but now are far too late. The loyalist legions gather and prepare for an assault on Terra, expecting the Dark Angels to arrive soon and bolster their forces. Combined, they may be able to defeat a weakened Horus. But, when the Lion arrives and realizes that Chaos has won the battle for Sol, he abandons his brothers and retreats to his homeworld without a word.

The remaining Primarchs now bicker amongst themselves. The Khan and the Wolf rage and howl for a retaliatory strike on Terra, while Guilliman and Dorn refuse to fight; they see no point in suicide. Guilliman sees a consolidated and fortified Space Marine force as the only way to save mankind from ultimate destruction, and Dorn is broken after failing to protect his lord-father.

The Ultramarines and the remnants of the Iron Fists retreat to Ultramar and begin preparations for defense. The Fists and are immediately set with the task of fortifying the planets in the region of Ultramar. Guilliman takes command as de facto leader of both legions. Dorn, destraught and mentally broken, refuses to leave the Phalanx. On McCragge, Rouboute Guilliman begins work on signal book that will alter the state of warfare in the galaxy. It will change the system of organization of the legions under his command and implement strict guidelines and rules of battle, all with the singular focus of engaging and defeating Space Marine legions, tainted by Chaos or not. It is irony of the greatest nature. At the same time, he gathers the remaining Custodes, Sisters of Silence, a few of the chosen amongst his legion, and the brave survivors of the Eisenstein. With the former Death Guard captain Nathaniel Garro at the head, he tasks them with creating a force dedicated solely to rooting out and destroying those tainted by the powers of Chaos. These pure warriors will have no allegiance to commander nor legion. They drape themselves in grey, wearing no heraldy or colors. Their only task is to root out and destroy Chaos, no matter the cost. Roboute sees that victory can only be achieved by destroying the sword and the warped hand that wields it. The Codex Guilliman and the Grey Inquisition and are born.

Uhhh... I don't know how to break this to you...

but its the 41st millenium...

yeah...

you're a bit, shall we say, late...

oh and wrong

The White Scars and Space Wolves realize they cannot reclaim Terra on their own, and leave for their homeworlds furious with their cowardly brothers. Revenge is the only thing on their minds. Chaos is at the forefront of their fury, but the Dark Angels are no less a traitor legion and the offence of the Ultramarines and Imperial Fists only slightly less egregious. The brothers vow that all shall reap what they have sown, in time. The Khan realizes his position on Mundus Planus is untenable, due to the losses the Scars incurred on Terra, and comes to an agreement with Leman Russ. The Khan gathers all the equipment and men loyal to him onto his barges and makes way for the homeworld of the legion formerly known as the Space Wolves. Fenris is now home to the Scarred Wolves Legion.

>>3026913
Space Marine fapfiction, oh? Where are the guard? Will there be a Macharius? No Custodies, I assume?

>>3026940
It's called "alternate history," why don't you just enjoy the writing?

The remaining Blood Angels are livid over this surrender, having shed the most blood and sacrificed what was most precious to them. They were witnesses to the terrible sacrifice of their Primarch on Terra, and refuse to accept that Sanguinarius has died for nothing. They return to Baal and empty their fortress monasteries onto their fleet. They have no brothers now, nothing to protect, nothing to defend. The space between the stars is their home now, and the blood of traitors their food and drink.

>>3026957
Nevermind. Guess I didn't see a mention of Custodies. Which, for whatever reason, are not deaddeaddead.

Going to let you continue, but eventually I'll catch you on something you didn't predict, for I am a 40k fluff sniper of the highest caliber.

Also WE'RE GOIN INTO OVERTIME BABY. IT'S THE COOOOOOOLLLLLLLE TRAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN.

Limping away from the massacre at Isstvan, the legions of the Raven Guard, Salamanders, and Iron Hands are shattered, and their Primarchs dead or wounded physically and mentally by the betrayal of their brothers and merciless slaughter of their legions.

>>3026939

custodes are mentioned in there

So is it Row-boot? or Ro-Bowt Guilliman? How do you pronounce Rouboute Guilliman

Corax wallows in despair. He takes the few remaining Raven Guard alive and returns to Deliverance to await his fate. Locked in his fortress-monastery and expecting the certain death that Chaos will soon bring to the galaxy, he begins experimentation on once lost or forbidden science. Manipulating the gene-seed of his legion, he begins to breed monsters. Corax discovers ways to create warriors who can excel at a task with such a singular focus that they are incapable of anything else. Some have metabolisms that are slow to the point of non-existence, who have such keen vision and steady hands that they can hide in plain sight for weeks without food or water, and still be able to kill with a single shot of a sniper rifle kilometers away. He discovers a way to force the so called "pariah-gene" upon a receptive few, eliminating their presence from the warp. With a handful of these marines, no psyker in the galaxy would be safe. And, he discovers a long-lost method, no, more an atrocity, to fuel the metabolisms of certain individuals to levels that would ensure death in minutes. But in those few minutes, these individuals would have the strength, speed, and reflexes exceeding that of even the primarchs themselves, the only side effect being complete insanity. These marines are both an atrocity to and a monstrosity of mankind. Corax cares not. Will renewed, the Raven Guard will fight on, be they monsters or not. He is not done. He is heard muttering the words, "nevermore..."

>>3027004
I pronounced it Re-Boot Guilliman, simply because Reboot gives me a nostalgia fix.

>>3027004
Row-bout Goo-ee-man

>>3027012
whut

>>3027031
Row-boat Guilliman?

Without the Emperor to guide it and the psykers to power it, the Astronomican, and therefore warp travel, should have become an unfocused roll of the dice at best and utter suicide at worst. It is of great surprise to all when it is quickly realized that mankind still has access to the warp. Not only can the forces of man still traverse the warp, it seems to have been stabilized and streamlined; journeys that once were wrought with peril and besieged by storms and demons become quiet and calm. It becomes apparent that the Emperor, even in death, still watches over his children. The gods of Chaos discover that the Emperor is not so easily defeated, but they care not; the Emperor may exert some small influence over the warp, but Chaos Undivided now runs rampant throughout the galaxy.

>>3027040
If that's how you say 'about,' then yeah.

With the might of Terra and Mars, and with the blessings of the Chaos gods, Horus reigns supreme.

On Terra, Horus revels in his victory. He tears down the great monuments and buildings of the dead Emperor and begins to erect new temples to himself and to the gods of the warp. Below the former Imperial Palace, Horus discovers the vast and complex project which the Emperor abandoned his sons and the Great Crusade for. He laughs as realizes its purpose, and with great ebullience he destroys everything with his own hands, reveling in the shattering of the Emperor's greatest work. He saves only one thing, a great golden throne upon which it is obvious the Emperor was meant to sit. Horus builds his new palace around it, and proclaims himself the new God-Emperor of Mankind. He will reign forever upon the Golden Throne.

Bah, I didn't write that, I've been eating dinner. Anonymous posting has its disadvantages :(
but I'm glad someone thinks its interesting, ppl don't seem to like their core WH40K fluff messed with in any way. I blame this on GW and creating a fanbase used to the same static world for the last couple decades!

Should I keep going or just stop? :(

KEEP GOING!

Hail Horus! Hail the new God-Emperor of Mankind!

>>3027026
Magnus and Vulkan, together?
I'd so live in this galaxy, shattered though it may be. What about the Mechanicus? What's happened to them?

The truth? You want to know the truth?

If Horus had won, he would had become enraged with himself and destroyed all humanity for revenge...

Then the only two fuckers fighting for what was left of the galaxy would be the necrons and the nids.

And they would look at each other and go WTF?

And then the orcs would be like... Shit waagh?

>>3027423
>>3027374 here.

Just dicking with you. But Horus did come off as Skeletor, and that's never a good thing. Even if the Horus Heresy books have him as some completely one-dimensional Baww faggot, you aught to not comply and fuck with things even more. Like make the Astronomicon not work and Spess Marheens take the place of roving warbands like Chaos has, with the unique extremely disciplined sorts like Guilliman's boys to take the place of Alpha Legion or BATHEAD DUDES. You could do this just to show whether things would -really- be that different once Chaos wins, you know?

>>3027851
Necrons are removed from the galaxy as a viable threat once Chaos has majority control of the physical plane, because then C'tan are basically being force-fed loads of exactly what will fuck their world up by beings that have the very thing to kill them, while being able to manipulate matter in much the same way.

And then Tzeentch will finally be less of a fucking hack than the Deceiver, who actually is shown to have plans.

>>3027909

Dipshit did you not read Legion? If Horus had won he would have gone apeshit and killed off everything... I mean everything... Even the Chaos gods themselves... Because he would have killed of everything they live off of.

>>3027934

You mean this fanfic isn't official canon?

>>3027934
Dipshit did you think that I care what those shitty Horus Heresy novels say? They are comprised of only one or two competent writers, and a series of people trying to break the mythos of something, much akin to a bunch of writers detailing Jason and the Argonauts, but over the course of 8 books and in contrast to the original story.

But I'm sure you'd tell me that this second one, because it happened after the first, is the only version I should care about.

>>3028015

Please continue OP, don't listen to the trolls, this is worth posting. Keep going.

I went to do something else, here's what I have so far

The galaxy will bow at his feet, worlds shall be as glass eggs in his hand to be shattered when it pleases him, and all those with breath in their lungs and blood in their veins will tremble at the whisper of his name. The voices of Chaos Undivided howl in his ears, the energy of the warp powers his thoughts. His urge to destroy, to defile, is consuming. But, he is still the child of the Emperor. He still remembers the time spent with his father as the favored son, the lessons learned, the skills recieved. Chaos could not, and would not, cleanse this from his mind, for without his training at the hands of the Emperor he would have been useless to them. For all the insanity the warp forces into his mind, he retains enough rationality to realize that he must quickly begin to consolidate his might and build his new Imperium. There will be time to savor the pleasures of Chaos once humanity is brought under his yoke.

>>3028068
The books are bad. Lots of people inexplicably like anything with Warhammer 40k printed on it from Black Library. Everybody who comments on a 40k novel should be forced to add " - for a Black Libary book" to their opinion if it is good.

Horus knows that his first, and most important task, is to separate his fellow traitor primarchs. Knowing too well the capriciousness of Chaos and the danger posed by the gathering of primarchs, he tasks his new Imperial legions with tasks suitable for their natures, giving him time to plan how best to strip them of any ability to betray him. The World Eaters and the Iron Warriors are immediately dispatched to Ultramar space. McCragge represents the last and strongest bastion of mankind. Home to two primarchs and the might of multiple systems, this is a threat that must be dealt with swiftly. Angron desires nothing but blood, and there can be no greater reward for his legion than unleashing them upon the greatest of the remaining loyalist legions. The World Eaters depart Terra with great haste, chomping at the bit as they fervently anticipate the slaughter of Ultramarines. The way to McCragge is long, and many worlds seperate Sol from Ultramar. Angron leaves wide swath of blood and destruction as the twisted spear that is the World Eaters flies toward Ultramar. Perturabo still seethes over the arrogance of Dorn, and immediately sets way for for the Segmentum Ultima, stopping for nothing. The Phalanx is the only thing on his mind. This the opportunity that he has for too long waited, the reason why he has betrayed his father and sacrificed himself to Chaos. He will be the hammer that crushes the so called invincible shield that is the Imperial Fists, and he will bathe his hands with the blood of Rogal Dorn no matter the cost.

Horus briefly ponders sending a titan legion behind his brother-primarchs. Ultramar is home to the forge world of Triplex Phall, which fields the Legio Victorum. Without titan support, even victory would mean immense losses for the World Eaters and Iron Warriors, if not outright destruction at the hands of the loyalists. Horus finds that thought comforting. Angron is a rabid dog that must eventually be put down, and Perturabo has always been too calculating and inscrutable. Should Guilliman survive this battle, the full might of Chaos would follow swiftly. He decides to return his titans to their home forges, allowing his Dark Mechanicum to rebuild and repair war losses. They will be unleashed soon enough, for loyalist forge worlds are exposed and their technology plentiful. Regardless of the outcome, blood will rain upon Ultramar, and that is all the gods of Chaos desire.

To his most loyal brothers, Horus gives the honor of forging a new Imperium of Man from the ruins of the past. This new Imperium shall hold Himself above all else, the divine manifestation of the gods of the warp, and his brothers shall be his apostles. Mortarion, Fulgrim, and Lorgar are set with the task of launching a new great crusade, one that will spread the name of Chaos to all corners of the galaxy. They are sent forth to bless mankind with the whispers of Tzeentch, the caress of Slaneesh and the love of Father Nurgle; and Khorne will embrace all in the end. To each primarch, Horus gives freedom, to his brothers he gives their reward. They can conquer and destroy if they so please, convert and nurture if it suits their mood. Worlds will be turned to dust or poison, serve as shrines to the powers of the warp; they will become nothing but an orgy of sadism and pleasure, and some will become worlds that nurture things unspeakable by man. But all will worship the name of their new God-Emperor, Horus. Slowly, savoring each world turned to Chaos, each soul sacrificed to the gods they embrace, the forces of Chaos lay claim to the galaxy. This Crusade of Darkness spreads.

Without the protection of Emperor and his greatest soldiers, worlds easily fall to the new Imperial Legions. Planetary defenses and Imperial Guardsmen stationed on planets are but a paper shield to the sharpened claws of Chaos Marines and warp demons. Inhabitants of these worlds that are not killed or used as toys by the legions are set as slaves. Some convert to Chaos on their own and serve as fodder for battle, some are possessed by demons, but most are simply entertainment. The former Imperial Navy flees for its life, unable to match the destructive swarm of Chaos. Fleets scatter as if they were leaves in a hurricane. Some make way for what they think are safe harbors, loyalist worlds that once were seats of power of the old Imperium. They are gravely mistaken. Some make the arduous journey to Space Marine space, hoping against hope that they are received by a loyalist legion and not one possessed by the warp. The former Imperial Navy fleets that arrive at worlds like McCragge or Fenris find hope, the fleets that imagined Chemos or Colchis to be havens find only death.
A fleet seeking sanctuary heads for Caliban, homeworld of the Dark Angel legion, hoping that the Lion has not turned to Chaos and will lead them against the terrors they have seen. To their surprise, they find nothing but the floating debris of what was once a planet. At first, they despair that the Dark Angels have been destroyed, but they discover that the debris in orbit cannot be that of an entire planet. Caliban has disappeared. There is no trace of the Dark Angels.

I like where this thread is going

Vulkan/Magnus intrigues me.
Khan/Russ excites me.
Guilliman/Dorn... meh.

Horus now believes the foundation for his new Imperium is set. The galaxy will be stable long enough for him to destroy as much as he pleases. He gathers the full strength of the Sons of Horus, and multiple legions of his Dark Mechanicum to him, and sets way for war. There are still wolves to hunt and salamanders to squash, hands to break and sons to slaughter. There are still brothers to kill.

LEGENDARY THREAD.

stupid fucking 4chan is messing up posting, its supposed to go like this


With the primarchs spread throughout the galaxy, Horus saves his orders for the Night Lords and the Alpha Legion last. He wishes to bestow upon these primarchs duties of a special nature. As worlds fall beneath the Dark Crusade, Horus realizes that most will not be destroyed, but instead converted to the powers of Chaos. For Lorgar, there is no greater pleasure than the sound of a billion souls sacrificed to Chaos as a billion more chant litanies in the name of Horus. For Mortarion, his plague worlds will be all for naught if there are not lives there to suffer under the foul stench of his poisons. And Fulgrim must have his toys. Horus realizes that even Chaos must somehow be held in check, for these worlds would tear themselves apart and his brothers would begin to seek entertainment elsewhere, perhaps in each others legions. Horus has long studied his brothers, in both war and peace, and knows them perhaps better than they know themselves.

stupid fucking 4chan is messing up posting, its supposed to go like this, I missed a paragraph.

>>3028608
>>3028611 bah con't


Before the Emperor found him, the primarch of the Night Lords was one of the greatest and most efficient forces for peace that the galaxy had ever known. Through the sheer force of fear and terror, he was able to bring a planet of iniquity into a state of peace. Knowing that Chaos cannot change a man, only bring forth what is already there, Horus annoints the Night Lords to protect the citizens of the new Imperium. The Night Haunter will stay true to his nature and inspire and give Khorne what is Khorne's, and Konrad Cruze will maintain discipline and order. Horus will not lose control of His galaxy. The legion composed of murderers and thieves, with no goal but to inspire terror, becomes the police force for the Imperium of Horus. As he makes his plans for Alpharius, he quickly realizes that the primarch of the Alpha Legion, and indeed the entire legion itself, have disappeared. Busy in his machinations, Horus has lost track of his protoge. Simply assuming that his hatred of the Ultramarines meant the impetuous primarch has headed for Ultramar, Horus sends only a detatchment to look for him.

>>3028626 and after this is supposed to go

Horus now believes the foundation for his new Imperium is set. The galaxy will be stable long enough for him to destroy as much as he pleases. He gathers the full strength of the Sons of Horus, and multiple legions of his Dark Mechanicum to him, and sets way for war.

What about the other races? What happens to them?

yea that's it for now, I'll put more up when I think of it. Stupid 4chan posting lag totally messed up my last paragraph and my pwnage close :(

>>3027851
hopefully youre satisfied, I think Horus wants to keep some order in the galaxy so he can destroy it in as many ways as he wants to, but in this format I can't really explore characters in depth, I have to set the background

>>3028571
yea, they'll be epic WAAAGH and Eldar schemes and even the Tau will pop in and say hi, if I have the time to put my ideas down

I think this time around the roles may have been reversed. The Alpha Legion are now seeking to repent for their crimes and the death of the Emperor by sabotaging the New Imperium. Dunno about the DA, maybe they got sucked into the warp. Who knows?

I like. Please Continue.

Unable to work within the new Empire of Chaos, the Deciver, observing the orgy of death and desolation from one of the many still sleeping tomb worlds, decides against bringing his brothers to fight.
Instead, the forces of the Necron will continue sleeping, however, the Great Lier still realises the need now to snack whilst there are still beings to devour.
He begins to send out small raiding squads against the vast Chaos legions, taking away certain bases, a few small ships, an army or two whenever one strays too close to his hidden realm.
The Deciver knows that the very nature of Chaos means that these events, these dissapearances probably won't be noticed for a long time, perhaps ever, especially with the Necron ability to wipe the taint of the warp away from their victems.
He felt like they had been reduced to nothing but vultures, picking off what was left off a galexy dying of the Chaos cancer, but he and his c'tan brethren were immortal and unlike Horas, he could wait another hundered thousand millenia to rise again...
