most of that post, legion, mirrors my own opinions. in fact all of it does except the heresy not being emps' fault. specifically i'm refering to the event of a collosal civil war led by primarchs.

yes the chaos gods would have manipulated any they could, and there would be minor (minor in relation to the heresy) civil wars, but without the primarchs there's no-one in the imperium who could've mustered a force comprised of half the astartes legions, as well as titan legions and god knows how many imperial guard. the fact that the manipulated forces were so large, and formidable, is directly attributable to them being led by primarchs.

when i say the heresy was emps' fault i obviously mean in an indirect manner - it's not like he saw it coming - but if the primarchs were never created, or never lived to be found, such a debilatating war could never have happened.
