      Dark cells are made to keep some of scariest and most exotic things under a key. I believe that Trazyn would actually be bit worried that keepers would play uno reverse card and he would get himself in one of those cells.

      Act 1: Trazyn hears about something interesting in the vaults and starts collecting a group of interesting characters to form a team.
      Eldrad: "Tarzyn, your entire race is the reason we are in this mess. Why should I join your crew?"
      Tarzyn: "To troll the humans."
      Eldrad: *sighs* "... I've got nothing better to do, I'm in!"
      Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka: "Skellieboi, ya git, oim in!"
      Creed: "Tarzyn!? I would tell your rotten necrodermIs carcass to leave me alone this Instant ... *chews on stoagie* ... if the knowledge you would be completely lost without me did not stroke my ego! You son of a dying race, I'm in!"
      The Silent king: "..."
      Act 2: Tarzyn plans the heist, gets into some trouble but manages to get everything ready.
      Act 3: Tarzyn and hus team get into thr vaults by disguusing themselves as the adeptes jantories. However, the are ambushed by the wardens and caputred into an elaborate trap.
      Warden: "We knew you were comming!"
      Tarzyn: "I knew you knew we were comming!"
      Warden: "We knew you knew we knew you were comming!"
      Tarzyn: I knew you knew I knew you knew we were comming!"
      *Two hours of back and forth later*
      Warden: "... and we knew that you knew that the emperor's earlobe was the key to unlocking this vault ... ALL ALONG!"
      Tarzyn: *Slow claps* "Indeed, you are right! But I've still won!"
      Wardens: *collective gasp*
      Tarzyn: You see, while I was distracting you with this back and forth, Ghazghkull used the power of his Waaaagh field to distort the space time around us so that creed could use the ash of his stoagies to create moulds of every single part of this trap and create a blueprint!"
      Wardens: *Audible gasp*
      Tarzyn: "And while the silent king was silently judging you, Eldrad was creating a webway portal. Which we will now use to skedaddle, ta-ta!"
      Warden: *As Tarzyn and his crew step through the portal* "You were after the trap all along!?"
      Tarzyn: "No, that was just s red herring, the true objective was ... the friends we made along the way! But we've got to jet, tell Roboute I said hi!" *steps through portal*
      *Roundabout by Yes starts playing*
      Wardens: *Audible sigh of relief*
      Warden trainee Dubbo: "Strewth, that's a bit of luck, for a moment I thought tall poppy over there was after the 11th primarch we've got locked up over 'ere!"

Lorgar being a paraplegic and secretly meditating in an ivory tower of doom for 10,000 years is low key my favorite idea in the universe. They don’t get much love. Also that painting of Lorgar’s head in space crying cosmic tears is really thought provoking as the same reason for his crying is what sent him to lead his brothers into chaos.

      I would consider it more likely for minor Chaos gods to do so, though I guess that is already sort of accounted for by the Primarchs (if Majorkill is right) and the other Imperium-aligned warp entities (e.g. the Legion of the Damned, the Living Saints, etc.).
      The Emperor himself could be considered to be warp god bound to a (decrepit) physical body as well.
      If you're talking about just the big 4, I could only think Tzeench would choose to do so, and even then it would almost certainly be a trick designed to bite the Imperium in the ass later on. A genuine alliance from one of the Big 4 is probably impossible as far as we know.
      A lesser Chaos god approaching the Imperium now would probably be for their own plan, probably to turn that big 4 into a big 5 or just overthrow one of the existing gods somehow. Having an odd number of Chaos Gods would be interesting since the Chaos gods are in sort of pairs that might keep balance (brains and brawn being powerful traits for a warrior, then temptation and decay powerful ways to ruin people).
      Having an odd one out without an "opposite" could mean that new god could tip the balance of the endless wars.
      I think there was something going on with a new minor god of technology or something? It could be interesting to see an interaction between them and Perturabo, who could be tempted by the gifts of a tech god if those gifts somehow outmatch what he can already make, though I don't know if that's possible.

      Slaanesh if he promised to make a galaxy wide commoragh not sure what else would bribe them and it definitely seems like a worst case scenario
      Tzeentch probably already considered something similar but he loves the game more than anyone
      Might get Nurgle on your side if Big E threatened to take a bath after 10,000 years of golden man musk disappearing

    It traps and sucks in fragments of temporal energy, and can be activated to redo or undo events in time for brief moments, even slowing down and speeding up time in a localized area, or even reject split second events from ever having happened.

    I’m almost finished with the HH and would absolutely enjoy a video on Maggard. The indentured bodyguard of Horus’s remembrancer who fought off dozens of Nurgle’s family so bravely that good Horus commended him and eventually recruited in book 2 & 3.

      Okay I just found out he would have killed a Veteran Horus Son’s captain and would have succeeded if one of the remembrancers didn’t shoot him. Not to mention Horus honored him with the medical transition to become a space marine and this is how he was able to go toe-to-toe with the captain. Truly a gem that I would love to hear Majorkill talk about.

    This reminds me of a Doc Savage plot, when the villain managed to discover Doc's Fortress of Solitude (predating Superman's fortress) and after considerable effort infiltrated it while Doc was back in New York, finding various pieces of research he was doing, as well as Mad Science weapons recovered from various villains the crew fought, and using them for his own nefarious purposes...
    This all furthers my headcanon that Doc Savage is, in fact, one of the Lost Primarchs. It even fits thematically!
    "Men of Gold"
    "Men of Iron"
    "Men of Stone"
    The Emperor's infatuation with Gold as a color scheme, and what is Doc Savage called?
    "The Man of Bronze" as well as being intellectually and physically without peer in Dent's stories.
