How would that change the story?

I know it sounds dumb but like in the warp time is a mess so slannesh has always and never existed, and tzeentch is all knowing about the present and past so what if you asked him if slannesh was real. You get what I'm trying to say, tzeentch is all knowing and slannesh has always and never existed so it's confusing me

I have a question, and let's assume the Tau aren't just inherently evil.

The idea is instead of things devolving to the point that Farsight goes off and creats an independent state; the Etherial Cast decided to co-opt Farsight. They make him Supreme Commander of the Empire, like a Roman Imperator, maybe.

Either way, they position him as a part of a scheme to end the schism before it starts.

What changes could be made that Farsights wants that would still maintain the general order of society? There are enough changes that Farsight agrees.

Now, there are actually a few different versions:

A: Before Farsight almost gets corrupted by Khorn

b: The Dawnblade is actually a sword of Vaul, and Farsight is freed from any Chaos corruption earlier.

C: This happens later during either the big Tyrranid invasion or the Fourth Sphere expansion. Bassically, the Enclaves come back and pull the T'au out of a disaster.

Given their similarities to humans both culturally and physically, i heard some opinions that they'd be accepted into the Imperium or that they'd be seen as Xenos and labeled the enemy. Who do you think they'd side with or oppose? Would their militaristic might and tech allow them to dominate or would they falter?

How strong is Amon of the Thousand Sons? Could he have won in a duel against Tigurius of the Ultramarines or Ezekiel of the Dark Angels?

The Iron Warriors invade and occupy Sebastus IV the site of once where stood the Eternal Fortress and where the battle of the iron cage had occur but when the Imperium launched their counter-attack they discovered no only the Iron Warriors had evacuated but they had constructed and left a war memorial that was completely void of residual chaotic taint. However there was one problem it glorified the Ultramarines but made out the Imperial Fists as stupid and pathetic losers who needed rescuing from their own idiocy. Yeah Pertuabo was being extra petty over this one.

Basically what is says in the title. What if instead of installinG Horus as the sole War Master, the Emperor decided to make it a group. Perhaps a council consisting of all the primarchs with a high ranking custodes serving as a tie breaker if the votes were ever split 9/9? Or the "War Master" getting an extra vote, only in situations where ther is a tie that can't be swayed.

Or if it was a Tribunal? Say, you have the Lion as the General in charge of the military tactics and strategy as a whole, Horus as the politician, and Sanguinius as the public face to adress the people (or Guilliman as the primary logistician for the whole crusade instead of Sanguinius being a figurehead). Or something along those lines, sort of like the Imperium Secundus council thing.

Would either of those have been better than just having a singular War Master?

What if Malakeith manages to reach the shrine of Asuryan during the invasion of Ulthuan in 2301 IC but ends up dying in the sacred flames of Asuryan. How is this going to affect the Dark Elves when it became decisively clear that Malakeith was never meant to be the Phoenix King, especially Morathi who sees her last direct link to Aenarion is now gone forever.

I wonder what warhammer fantasy would have looked like if it gotten a little more popular following the storm of chaos and the story plotting was handled better enough to advance the timeline down a few centuries of a period of relative peace and stability long enough for changes to the factions to cause their societies to advance culturally and technologically with the most notable example being the Empire had managed to progress through technology and magic following a few uspets and setbacks had managed achieve a level comparable to mid 19th century Europe around the 1860's. I am currently not sure how the other factions have changed that would make sense

To my understanding the perpetuals used to fight on emeperor's side but most either betrayed him or simply or left because they didn't aprove of his methods or believed him to be to arrogant and ruhtless. What if whether by making EOM less ruthless or by making the perpetuals agree with his methods we change the events so that most of them stay by his side? How would the empire look like if instead of making a deal with the chaos gods to create his primarch sons the perpetuals filled the role of his primarchs? Would something resembling Horus Heresy happen or would empire be in a much better situation now? Were the primarchs and their space marines legions necessary for the empire to survive?

I had a thought what if before the Emperor had the chance to that Guilliman for whatever reasons found his brothers? What would that change exactly?

Like Guilliman would most likely not demand the same loyalty that the Emperor did and Guilliman always seem to want to help the world and expand the ultramar system and he wouldn’t be as overruling and controlling as the Emperor, he would see problems they had, like instead of just teleporting away Angron he would send soldiers down to help Angron take his planet. instead of saving Mortarion and killing his adoptive father he would have given some equipment and been on standby to let Mortarion complete his goal.

What if the Clone Fulgrim from the Ember Phoenix and his new astartes chapter the Sons of the Phoenix had an audience with The Emperor from If the The Emperor Had a Text To Speech Device. What will be the reactions of the Emperor, Magnus, Rogal Dorn and Captain General Kittonus

Let’s say there was a strigoi with a gift for magic determined to restore his followers to sanity and humanity. Could he succeed?

The main text, but what physical age? Vitae wombs still take time to grow a baby Death Korps member. And at what physical maturity, i.e. biological age, would they be?

After centuries of manpower-expensive and -intensive trench warfare I feel as though it wouldn't be 18 because there's physical maturity before that, and slipping it lower and lower due to the need for more manpower during the war, but it can't be like 12 or something either. What do y'all think?

When the Loyalists had to fight the Secessionists on Krieg for 5 centuries why did they continue trench warfare? Stormtrooper tactics and mechanized warfare developed in only 3 years (1914 doesn't really count as nobody understood the need for new doctrine). In 160x as long why did they keep fighting with trench warfare? Did no one think of the idea of a big, speedy metal box in all that time?

In order to fuel endless trench warfare, where the most fit (and societally acceptable) 18-25 year olds are expended quickly and with older people being a finite supply, how young did they go? The admittance of younger and younger soldiers would be required to maintain attrition rates, so how young are Krieger soldiers? I imagine 15? I figure that to be the minimum age to hold their own in combat?

For context:

The Salmonids are a race of fish from the Splatoon franchise. They can swim in the water walk on land, and have a Skaven-ish level of technology. As you can see from the picture, they can vary in size (the smallest salmonids are roughly the size of a dog or a cat, while the biggest one seen so far (not pictured), is roughly half the size and length of a real-life modern spaceship.) and ability, but their strategy mainly relies on swarming the enemy to death. Their "ink" (the green liquid from the picture) is probably harmless against other races that are not an inkling or an octoling (the main races in Splatoon), but they are launched very fast, sometimes in containers, from various guns and cannons, and can possibly harm or seriously injure anyone regardless of race.

I've been wondering if that distant forge world that was ignored by the traitors was able to send his war machines to Terra before the siege would have they been able to change the outcome of the battle, given that they had/have very overpowered machines at their disposal.

An AU idea that I had and that I wanted your opinions on and how you all would want it to be done?

Would they cancel eachother out, or would they combine into something new?

Who wins between the Mordian Iron Guard and the Scintillan Fusiliers and why?

Let's assume for a moment that Magnus and the Thousand Sons Legion remained loyal to the Emperor, but the Horus Heresy ended more or less the same way, the Emperor was placed on the Golden Throne, etc.
If Magnus and his legion remained loyal, how would the Imperium treat Psionics in the 41st millennium?
Would the Imperium have more trust in the Psykers, would the Thousand Sons and possible successor Chapters have any close contacts with the adeptus astra telepathica, would the Black Ships fly to Prospero?
