MasterofAgony:

Primarch Maximus was a creation of mine, in his story his brother legions go to arrest him, as his ship is being attacked, he teleports of the ship in a stasis pod, and he is later discovered by Imperial forces, and brought back into the chain of command. I didn't mean that he was leading a whole legion of Astartes, but what is officially known as the 11th legion. He leads a chapter sized force, but doesn't refer to it as a chapter.

ZIXIS:

The Fall of Medusa along with Dark Crusade were both inspirations for this. I wanted to see a war big enough to have huge war engines, and to have everybody involved, except for the Tau, I couldn't of a good reason for the Tau to get involved, as they might see all the other forces and decide that the portal is not worth it, or maybe they'll wait until the other groups are worn down before joining.
