First of all, you would not have to make Naust less important.. You simply make him their spiritual patriarch. I think I said this, but Space marines honor their ancestor, and it is hardly uncommon for them to pay particular reverence to one of their heroes, especially if they don't know who they are descended from. Second, instead of having Tarkor be active during the Horus Heresy, just make him the most recent Chapter Master.
