Ragnar02’s Alternate Heresy Generator

Okay lets change some history.

The Betrayer: Perturabo

Now lets see who follows

Emperor’s Children = Loyal
White Scars = Traitors (Tzeentch)
Space Wolves = Traitors (Undivided)
Blood Angels = Traitors (Nurgle)
World Eaters = Loyal
Ultramarines = Traitors (Slaanesh)
Thousand Sons = Loyal
Word Bearers = Loyal
Raven Guard = Traitors (Undivided)
Dark Angels = Loyal
Iron Warriors = Traitor (Automatic)
Sons of Horus = Loyal
Night Lords = Loyal
Iron Hands = Traitor (Khorne)
Death Guard = Traitor (Undivided)
Imperial Fists = Loyal
Salamanders = Traitor (Undivided)
Alpha Legion = Loyal

Wow. Only the Death Guard and Iron Warriors remained traitors this time.

I would also like to point out that Fulgrim is currently never going to be the Warmaster, because the lowest score on 4D6 is 4.

Bah! Sangunis and the angels turning to nurgle no matter what the dice gods say its never going to happen.

The betrayer : Konrad Kurze


Emperor’s Children =
White Scars = Traitors (Undivided)
Space Wolves = Traitors (Undivided)

Iron Hands = Traitors (Khorne)
Death Guard = Loyalists
Imperial Fists = Traitors (Tzeenth)
Salamanders = loyalists
Alpha Legion =loyalists

Kurze was drivnen insane by the emporors lack of effection for him and was contacted by the dark gods. Kurze knew he would never take down his fathers empire with brute force so he adopted more subtle methods. On a visit to terra Kurze set a bomb in his fathers chambers but it did not explode. The emporor found out it was kurze and he gathered his fleet to crush him. Kurze fled he was chased by his brohers intent on spilling his blood. He reached the eye of terror where disapeared into it. The legions knew better than to attack the eye so they fell back. Over the next thousand years kurze planted his mean around important inmperial heald worlds ready for devastating chain of assasinations. During his time in the warp kurze had developed certain powers and he sent dreams to his brothers beging them to betray thier father for all of the wrongs he had commited. 7 Did, Kurzes men carried out thier assasinaions without fail and managed to kill warmaster horus. The legions that turned then attacked thier brothers and a massive civil war started.

In my version of the tale, Horus was sent to cleanse the Istvaan system. On the voyage, Mortarion sought council with him, but instead poured the machinations of the Chaos Gods into his ear. Knowing of Horus' position as Warmaster, Mortarion reasoned that he could swerve more legions to his cause than some of the other Primarchs. Horus called a meeting of all nearby Primarchs, who happened to be Magnus, Lorgar, Curze and the noble Sanguinus.

Horus told them of the great powers to be theirs, and each aligned themselves with one of the four. Magnus, who had forever spent his time trying to gain knowledge on Prospero, decided that he deserved a pleasurable vacation and fell into the embrace of the Dark Prince. Curze, who had ever been plagued with visions, sided himself with Tzeentch in an effort to stop these nightmares.

Sanguinus was at first reluctant, but found that in close up combat, the ability of pain immunity proved to great a lure and he became the champion of Grandfather Nurgle. Finally, Lorgar discovered that his rituals had ever been watched by Khorne, and the great Cathedrals of the Word Bearers became bloated on depraved Blood Sacrifices.

Gradually, the word spread from Primarch to Primarch that Horus and his lieutenants had been corrupted. For Rogal Dorn, Corax and the Lion El'Johnson, the unnatural powers of chaos swayed them and the attack on Terra was formulated...

Rogal Dorn knew the Terran defences inside out, and he alone knew of a secret exit, built if the Emperor was ever in peril. A small force of the Sons of Horus snuck into this entrance as the mighty batteries of Perturabo and Dorn battered the palace walls. This strike team was eliminated by Fulgrim and Guilliman, who had been organizing a counter attack before they stumbled across the traitors. This was the gauntlet thrown.

The Emperor and his loyal sons battled across the plains bordering the Imperial Palace, a force to be reckoned with as they strode through the mightiest of bombardments without harm. Eventually they came across the five original traitors atop a great rocky plateau; Magnus, now lightning fast and sweating an alluring perfume, was cut down by Leman Russ, but no sooner was the Red Witch dead when Sanguinus appeared. The Great Wolf slashed and hacked at the Vampire but to no avail. With a great sword dripping with filth, Sanguinus beheaded Russ, intestines slopping over his former brother. As the battle went on, and the remaining Primarchs were cut down, no one stopped to see the duel between Mortarion and the Emperor. The Death Guard Primarch unleashed foul noxious fumes that had been brought from his home planet, but he Emperor's armour dispelled the vile gases.

As Mortarion forced the Emperor back, the Master of Man saw a great opportunity. He feigned weakness, falling backwards. As the fallen Primarch stood over him, ready to bring his scythe cleaving downwards, the Emperor threw his great sword at the gate mechanism. The spiked golden portcullis thundered down, biting into Mortarion. As he fell to the ground, he wept, and a great darkness was lifted from his eyes. As he slowly bled to death, he whispered 'O Father, what have I done?'. The Emperor desperately tried to lift the gate, seeing now that it was not his son who had done this terrible thing. The gates were strong, and the Emperor could not lift them. He collapsed, sobbing, knowing that he had killed his own son. The forces of chaos fled in disarray.

When the other Loyalists found him, they hijacked the gate mechanism and opened it before leaving the Emperor with his son's almost lifeless body. As Mortarion slowly died, the Imperator tried to cover the wounds he had made with his hands, but damage was too great, and his hands too small. He decided he could not live with what he had done, so sat upon the Golden Throne, where he still resides to this day, desperately searching the spirit plane for the soul of his dead son.

Emperor’s Children:
Upon arriving on Laeran (I think that is correct spelling) Saul Tarvits’ sense of unease grew to heightened levels. He fought his way to his Primarch Fulgrim just in time to place the words of the emperor in his ear. Fulgrim destroyed the Chaos tainted weapon before it had a chance corrupt his loyal soul.

Angron knew that his brother would not be swayed by any words he could put forward to him. At the siege of Terror, the warriors of Fulgrim fought the traitor legions with a fire in their heart. Usually alongside their Brother Legion the Iron Hands, the Emperor’s Children were often deployed by Horus in daring raids against the Iron Warriors siege engines.

White Scars: The voice of Angron the Great Betrayer reached the ears of Jaghatai Khan before Horus and Magnus could reach him. The Great Khan was shown the untold pleasures that could be wrought upon him by the Dark Prince. The warriors loyal to him captured those loyal to the Emperor in his legion and they were sacrificed to the dark gods. The holy gene seed tainted by foul warp energies and returned to the Khan.

The siege of Terror gave the White Scars and chance to prove themselves to their new master, Slaanesh. They took full advantage of the chance and wreaked a bloody toll in the defenders ranks. Their lightning fats hit and run attacks proving in valuable to the Traitor legion’s attacks.

Space Wolves: At the council of Nikea the Emperor in favour of Magnus, thus allowing the free reign of Librarians within the Legions. Outraged that his most despised brother went un-punished for his acts, Leman Russ was thrown into a violent rage, killing with own wolf guard. Angron took advantage of Leman’s demolished pride and sought to turn his Legion against the Emperor.

Succeeding, Leman became aware of the higher powers of the Warp, and the one in particular that had watched him intently since birth. He and his Legion swore fealty the Lord of Blood, Khorne. By the time the siege of Terra arrived, the Space Wolves, now renamed the Blood Hounds, were poised to strike, a spear ready to be cast. The fell on Terra in their drop pods like steel rain, oaths to the blood god on their lips as they slaughtered civilians and loyal Astartes alike. Always found by Lemans side were his two hounds, now tainted by the warp, transformed into the largest hounds of Khorne ever to walk the material world. Their leash released, they set off into the dark of night, assassinating the commanders and generals of the loyalists. Leaving only a bloody ruin of a body left behind.

Blood Angels: At his first encounter with the Demons of the Warp, Angron was told of their interest in Sagnuinius and the pivotal role he would play in the coming battles. Already corrupted by Chaos, Angron was able to sway the Angel to Chaos. Just like Leman Russ, Sanguinius had his eyes opened to a higher intellect watching him since his inception.

The Changer of Ways, the great conspirator Tzeentch had taken great interest in him after realising he would not be able to break his favoured Primarch, Magnus. Sagnuinius was granted dark powers of sorcery almost on par with those of Magnus. On the surface of Holy Terra, the Blood Angels sought out their great enemy, the Thousand Sons. Having escaped the fury of the Blood Hounds on Prospero, they were set to face vicious casualties in the coming battles.

The Blood Angels forced them to live up to their name, leaving barely one thousand warriors left in the Legion.

Alright... I'm going to post the list here, but I may have to post the 6+ page fluff accompaniment in its own thread. We're talking near RotT epic sizes, but not nearly as cool. I'll come back and edit in the link to the fluff once it's posted.

Huh. Apart from the Chaos God dedications and the traitor White Scars, Raven Guard and Iron Hands, this is almost exactly the same as the regular 40k univers. Note that for the last two, I decided myself for the dedication of the last two, since I only had Nurgle and Slaanesh up till then.
