@Neiuthan (sorry from office i cannot connect, the post above is mine).

About the xenophobic issue, i stink it will be a bit too late to change Space Marin habits and belief about it...But is still an option.

Point 2  is better to leave it in statis, we really don't know what could lies in the Omega Vault to help rebuild (or improve) Space Marines former glory.

Only point about i'm still holding on is about Legions. Most of the advanced equipment is lost, that's right (even if the Omeg...ok, ok i stop!), but about the HH it looks quite clear that the only and best tool Horus had in mind to take the power were Space Marines. Sounds like he knew deamons and chaos tools alone will not be enough to get things done. Probably the Drop site massacre was the best way to taint the traitor SM forever ensuring them to the Chaos side, i mean: killing your own brother sounds a very good way to damnation. But strategically, it mean not even with half legions at his disposal he feels safe. Trying to wipe out as many Space Marines as possible and planning it so that the fight would be the most unfair as possible. More, doing the best efforts to try delaying as many enemies as possible to reach Terra. All amazing moves to secure a win, but still sounds like Horus were scared as hell by the power of Space Marines.

If i were Khorne, i would be a bit disgusted by the Horus lack of arranging huge fierce battles. He was more Sun Tzu than Gengis Khan.

Oh, was going a bit off topic! But i hope i show what i mean saying that Space Marines still are (not in their actual status ofc) one of the most powerful forces around.
