Creating alternate timelines is always a hard thing. first you have to consider the things that change and the things that won't and force that one question out of your lips because you finally can: What If? Lorgar's obssesion with the Emperor is what led him and the word bearers to becoming the first heretics in the first place, so the fall to chaos is close to being inevitable, however, had the emperor not destroyed Lorgar's "perfect city", since it was dedicated to the Emperor as a living god and simply exepted there worship (which, in 40k, has happened regardless) then Lorgar would have probably never taken his "pilgrimige" into the warp. this alone gives an oppertunity for someone else to fall into the clutches of the chaos gods, most likely giving rise to different traitor primarchs (The Khornate Space wolves rather than World Eaters, for example) or a heresy can be avoided all together and rather than the imperium of man falling the the wims of the dark gods, could be a seperate xeno species, for instance could you imagine "The Ulthwe Heresy"? or even a "Leviathan Heresy" (chaos tyranids = Chaonids), i mean, why does the imperium of man have to get picked on? If the Eldar did not have there fall then wouldn't they also be a growing threat to the chaos gods as well? (as well as the hive mind or the necrotyre). At the moment i am liking the idear of seperate empires but all empires fall eventually. (i can see a huge build up!) another thing that was talked about in another blog was the fact that if Slaan- I mean, she who thirsts no longer exsists then we could start getting creative by making a different chaos god based on another races emotions, therefore making a different "Fall" and making that race wise, mindful and equally deadly, could you imagine smart and wise orks living in there own "Kanworlds", meddiling with other races future paths? or even GOOD necrons, whos race fell before the C'tan arrived and turned them into necrons, which in itself, could open up a seperate path of who would become the C'tan's slaves, like Necron Eldar (Eldarons) or even introduce the old ones as a new race in the modern 41st millenium (were going way-back). All of these possibilities because of just one new Chaos god!. now that im getting into it, i would be happy to assist in the creation of a new timeline, however, i only get small amounts of time on a computer per-week, the holiday has been an exeption. untill then, theres some food for thought. oh yeah and GLORY TO CHAO- (zap) .....gotta go, you know, Gray Knights deep striking and stuff.
