Warhammer 40k

[Grunt]

Well, calling this an idea would be too much, as it's just a thought as of now, nothing more.

It concerns one desicion at the time of the Horus Heresy.

Just how much would change if the emperor had trusted the warning of Magnus the Red. What if the thousand son's had never lost their faith into the emperor.

Feel free to discuss ^_^

Actually, IIRC, The Thousand Son's were in no danger really, as the Emperor needed Magus's help to design the anti-daemon wards needed to secure the human held section of the webway.

Unfortunately, Russ was convenienced to kill Magus by Alphanius, who was a traitor in secret at this point. Had russ not attacked Magnus, Everything woudl have been okay.

Well, as okay as anything can be in Warhammer.

Hmm I thought it was magnus who's message about the upcoming events destroyed part of the wards?

They did. The message tore through the wards at the palace (killing a number of people there) and caused a large amount of damage to the webway that the Emperor was trying to build (and killing a good number of the workers in it) as well as being so garbled that the Emperor had no way to understand what the Magus was trying to communicate except a few worlds like chaos.

I thought it broke though the psykic shield the emperior was using, but there were no anti-daemon wards the like of which the eldar used. The emperor was indeed pissed off at Magnus, but he didn't want him dead, as he still needed magnus's help.

Your right, I just checked it out and it was psyker shields. On the Emperor, he pretty much lost his temper and did send Russ to kill Magnus.

The reason for this was that Magnus' message tore through the palace psyker shields killing a number of people in there, all but destroy one of the most important projects that the Emperor was working on and at least set it back by decades if not centuries, the message was to gabbled to really make anything out besides a few words like chaos, and finally Magnus had gone against his orders about using sorcerery.

Had the Emperor not been in the palace he'd probably had acted in a different way when he had received Magnus' message. I don't see him being not pissed about the fact that Magnus had gone against his commands but on the other hand he might have been thinking a bit more clearly and had Horus checked out before he did anything.
