No obliterators for you:P
So I read the 50K and 60K stuff. It's ok, not the ending I would have like but makes sense for the most part. I feel that it's pretty close to what GW would do if they continued the story.
Got this from the funny picture megathread:
That's exactly it. The four gods of Chaos aren't intrinsically evil, they just represent the human (and Eldar, Ork and other sentient species connected to the warp's) psyche superbly. Violence, pleasure, sickness and a desire for knowledge are cornerstones of human behaviour. The Imperium really does try to control all those drives to stop Chaos, but it leads people easily down dodgy paths.
If the Imperium was "educated" enough, it'd face another in a long line of civil wars and break it up, causing the eventual extinction of humanity (if it isn't already heading that way.)
It's why I like the Tau story - not connected to the warp, they can truly develop without those baser urges.
In fact as far as I'm aware the UK is the only european nation that outright bans guns for civilians.This is why people ban guns. Gun supporters don't know what guns are.Shotguns I'll give you (provided you're allowed 12 and larger gauges... because I mean... come on...) but not .22s.
The Tau are set up for a big shock, dont understand warp travel or the perils of the warp. They will make a tasty morsel to any chaos god.
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?

The Terminus Decree - Deep within the Chambers of Purity in the Grey Knights' fortress-monastery, locked away in the chamber said to hold the tomb of Malcador the Sigillite himself, rests a simple wooden box, embellished with a golden seal. Within this box, written upon ancient parchment, is the instruction known only as the Terminus Decree. This artefact goes unrecorded in all the libraries of the Imperium, for it has been kept secret from all but the Supreme Grand Masters of the Grey Knights Chapter. Only a Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights knows how to open the box, and he will do so only when all hope for the future of humanity seems lost. The Terminus Decree is the ultimate sanction of the Grey Knights, a secret so vast it could bring the Imperium to its knees, or save it in its darkest hour. The exact nature of the document is unknown, and the only clue to its contents lies in the box's golden seal. It is whispered that it is the exact match of another seal, found only in one place in all the Imperium's many scattered worlds: the Emperor's Golden Throne.
From the grey knight chapter page on the wiki.
blood raven need i say more they are the first ones in and the last ones out!
I've been doing my nut in, trying to think of an army to paint as a " Prize army" perhaps go for a Golden Demon. Bah.
The road to damnation is paved with good intentions. Depending on the fluff, Horus did get a vision of the future that the Emperor will be a soul-eating monstrosity and he is desperate trying to stop that future to happen and ally himself with Chaos and get corrupted. The mortal wound Horus inflict on the Emperor is then the cause that the Emperor is a soul-eating monstrosity or the Golden throne need souls to keep him "alive"
Magnus the red was loyal but he did not have the resolve to have is legion and himself killed by the space wolf so he acetate help from chaos.
If we take normal "mortals" the world of 40k is very dark and very inhumane, if your life is already a living hell you do not have much to lose.

Magnus is a poor guy he has some serious daddy issues after reading the A thousand sons novel.
