U mad Bro? What does that even mean?

This whole topic is just one way to show how big is your Ego Attank.

You have only mentioned the flaws of Codex Astartes, but never did mention it's benefits.

So just ask yourself, who are Ultramarines? Just one of the Space Marine Legions that where send by the Emperor to conquer the Galaxy? That may be true, but there is more to that...

The Ultramarines weren't just a tool to take over planets and space systems. Whenever Roboute Guilliman freed a world from the tyranny of xenos or other men, his first priority was to set up a self-supporting defence system. Once a world was safe he could move on, leaving behind enough advisers to ensure that industry would be created, trade routes set up with the rest of the Imperium, and government directed towards the betterment of the people.

Yes I have copied that to bring you the message.

And no... I don't think that the creation of Codex Astartes was influenced by the betrayal of his brother primarchs and the other Space Marine legions, Guilliman always knew how to keep a cool mind no matter what.

Also, tell me Attank, who would lead the Imperium while the Emperor was "Ascended"? The Primarchs couldn't do it since there was a lot of disagreement between them, and it would be just a matter of time before the Loyal Space Marine Legions would start a new civil war betwenn themselves. So what did Roboute do? He wrote the Codex Astartes. It granted the Space Marines the freedom they needed in order to defend the galaxy. One more thing, as you know, none of the loyal primarchs are really active since like the 33 millennium. Some are dead, other gone missing, while others just slumber.

So what would happen to those Legions if the Codex Astartes didn't came to life? Well... inner legion conflicts and wars I suppose, since no one would be able to influence them to change their mind and they would just to keep battle each other!

The Codex Astartes was created not only to serve the Space Marines, but that the codex could also serve the Imperium of Man. After he wrote the codex and presented it to his brother primarchs, the second founding began. The space marines chapters were scattered around the galaxy to RPOTEC the Imperium!

If the Space marine legions would stay as they were ,they would be more powerful then the chapters, but they would also slower to react to the wars and the onslaught that would happen in the imperium.

To much enemies? They outnumber the space marines chapters? They are to powerful? Chaos? Corruption? Of course! It is the grim dark future of the 41st Millennium! That is the way it's suppose to be! And Yes! Space Marine Chapters some time need to work together to conduct some crusade or other kind of campaign! All Imperial Armed Forces need to do this! And don't tell me that if the Legions would not be erased then they would not be in need of assistance! The Space Marine Legions did worked together during the great Crusade!

1000 Astartes per Chapter is not a joke, this is a serious Militant Force that is strong enough to conquer a whole space system and even more!

Scattered space marines companies? But Of Course! Because they are needed everywhere! Do you know how big is the Imperium of Man(that's a rhetoric question)? Those scattered companies are often boosted by the PDF, local imperial Guard regimetns, the agents of the Inqusition, Sisters of Battle and more... so they are not just 100 Battle-Brothers...

No, Roboute Guilliman won't kick himself in the butt(that's physically impossible) after he will wake up from his slumber.

Also I remember how you tried to convince us that the acceptence of the Tau philosophy would change the Imperium for better, in theory that would be nice. But you just can't simply change a 10,000 years old engine on which the Imperium is running to a new one.
