Magnus lobotomized by Tzeench? Where are you getting that from?

@Talik - I like Magnus! I also like your idea of him resting somewhere in between good and evil. I already think of him that way mostly, although of course he leans heavily toward chaos. Out of all the traitor Primarchs though, he is one of the most interesting; he was no doubt the most aware of the dangers of the warp and chaos etc but remained loyal; even after the council of Nikea he kept practicing sorcery but was still fiercely loyal; then when he learned of Horus' betrayal, he stayed loyal and tried to warn the Emperor.

Part of his downfall was the Emperors unwillingness to believe him; then Russ is sent to collect him but his orders are manipulated by chaos so we have the burning or Prospero. Magnus seems reluctant to join chaos and does it to save his city, and then plays very little part in anything else for chaos. So I always think of him as an anomaly, turned his back on the Imperium, but not wholly devoted to chaos either.
