The Empty Crusade (Horus Heresy)

I would argue maybe Rogal or Horus for Ultramar, but that's for later. The Builder or the Favored Child would be intresting to see on the five hundred worlds.

Edit: But i am not against them being chosen for that location
Horus I've been holding off on think about because he was, key word here, the golden child and now that he isn't the first found he might actually have to develop as a person have a personality beyond "dad loves me so much :D".
 
I'm not sure what you guys were expecting by throwing him into a necron tomb, there was no way this was going to result in a reasonable person.

I was thinking a bit what will happen if Horus will get on the planet on which Lorgar was in canon...
And then I thought - in canon Lorgar predicted the arrival of the Emperor and made a religion out of this. But here there is no Emperor anymore, so in what God Lorgar shall believe? Will he just discover 3 dark gods earlier? Will he get adopted by a pair of conservative caterian (christian) like Superman? Or will he look around the warp and say : "I see no God here... except me?"
Or will he become atheist, just like his Father intended, believing only in Humanity,
 
If there is nothing else we can get from this whole thing, then it should be the Imperium learning about Tomb Worlds and maybe a means to detect them. So in the future, as we go about colonizing or finding new worlds...we have secret detachments doing a little look around and making sure we aren't squatting on someone else's land.

In any case, Roboute learning about the Crons ahead of time will be a useful nugget of information he'll keep in the back of his mind. It will also likely cause him to investigate the situation further because now he's going to be wonder...just how many planets might the Imperium or Old Humanity settled are secretly tomb worlds?

oh no Lorgar might end up as light from deathnote/s

Horus on Colchis probably looks something like a Charlemagne or Bayezid, a conquering king who knows how to diplomacy when necessary and uses the state religion for its infrastructure and managerial capabilities. Horus was always intelligent and had a mind for command, any world we put him on will see him become a mini Warmaster just as he lead his gang on Cthonia, He might even look similar to a Leman on Prospero, two Philosopher kings with a mind for the arts and capable of intelligent and in-depth ideological and theological discussion. Horus just leans more king than conqueror than Leman does.

Have the failure speak, telling the interloper that this world was his and he would have nothing to do with the Imperium. Hopefully they backed up so he could prepare for full war.

Ok. That went bad, for Ferrus, oh gods, we partly created another Fabius Bile. Ugh. Yeah, next time, when there is an option towards like throwing Primarch into a place where Xeno, Chaos or even AI reside, we don't pick that choice. At least Legion of Ferrus will more likely to work with Perturabo then with Gerrus. Ugh. That went really bad.
 
There is some irony if this ends in us having to eliminate Ferrus (or attempt to anyway) in that he ultimately becomes one of the Lost Legions akin to the forgotten two in 40k. Which to be fair...if you don't like the Iron Hands as a Legion and we get the opportunity to let Planetary Tennis do a homebrew Legion...I'm sure there are plenty of people here that would go, "Oh well, lesson learned here, do better next time, now onward to the next Primarch."

The real tragedy would be that the Iron Hand marines are now without a Primarch. On the other hand, they can find many other opportunities within the Mechanicum or hang out and help Pert.

Personally, losing out on the opportunity for Bio-Punk Fulgrim meeting Flesh is Weak Ferrus would also be a tragic loss in terms of character interactions and debate.

As long as it brings the worlds into obedience to the Imperium, everything is in order. Angron in the original was much worse.

I would say Konrad was the worst, but then that's just getting into opinions. But yeah for all his...horrible parts, Ferrus brings a fair bit to the table if let in, so there is incentive to kinda...look away from the atrocities.

What a trade off, industrial mass flaying pits for off brand soulforges/selenar genefuckery. Maybe Ferrus just need a snickers or something.

Many worlds bowed their heads to the Imperium only at the rumor that the Night Lords were coming to subdue them. We do not know the statistics, what is the ratio of such worlds to those where bloody terror was unleashed. But it is known for sure that they did not give up so actively before the World Eaters.

I would say Fulgrim just fulgrim even before choas was the worst like the guy was so bad that I don't think the demon changed much just made him worse at hiding it his only redemable moment was his regret at killing ferrus

Or like...time away from the crazy Necron and maybe a stabilizing element to showcase the better parts of humanity while ensuring he does not just turn his menials into horrid abominations.

He just butchered them, the Night Lords dropped a ship's worth of flayed human skin on a city, Angron was awful, but at least he only killed folks.

Maybe, but i'm sticking with crazy Curze and his Night Lords for being my personal worst (In action) Legion.

I mean yeah the nightlords are scum (even more in 40k then 30k) yet at least Conrad never let fabius bile expermient on his children without their consent, and the chaos worsphipping emperors children make the nightlords (30ks ones 40k are another story) look like saints. Also the emperors children give erebus a run for his money at being evil
Edit: but this is just my opinion someone might know something that I don't know

Fair points, like i said before, it's a personal thing for people, and each opinion is valid in who we say is the worst.
 
First off, nice reference.

Second, pretty much.

And third, don't know if they will be named that, but it works as we have no idea what Tennis has planned for their name.
It's only the place holder name afaik, from the Soldiers of Iron updates. Ferrus might call them his "Perfect legion" as a nice little aside to his personal projects and to epitomize what Alt!Fulgrim probably wont be doing.
