The Lion is loyal above all else. Could he be sacrificed to take on Magnus' burden and free his brother of his follies to find Russ? To ever live in torment, as Ra Endymion before him, sacrificing his very self for his father.

    While the next returning Primarch is likely Russ or the Khan, I think a story arc of Corax would be intriguing because in a sense he’s an Avenging Angel with power openly obtained from the warp while remaining loyal. I think he’d be a challenge for certain elements within the Imperial orthodoxy to accept but as intimated by the Emperor redemption seems possible for someone like Moratarion so why not acceptance of Corax in his current state?

    One thing that never made much sense to me is the Imperial Truth.

Take everything from the 30K, the way they look, the way everything feels, how everyone behaves - it is extremely religious and worship oriented, nothing atheistic in it really. The whole setting is extremely gothic, which is extremely religious and worshipy in the first place. So I don't by the shock of Primarchs and their surprised Pikachu face. Big E knew EXACTLY what he was doing... and you guys knew as well. Don't play dumb. Literally every move they made was to enshrine and worship the Emperor. Going from that to just adding a god adjective to the whole worship game is a very small step.

Nurgle is inevitable, Tzeech also and same goes for Slaneesh and others.
    The gods existed way before of the birth of humanity and will exist even after humanity goes extinc. They are driven by emotions, desires and actions of almost living creatures.

      I think what the Emperor and the Imperial Truth was designed to do was starve the Chaos Gods of their most potent form of gaining power, yes they gain power from emotions, but they gain even more from worship, sacrifice, rituals and the like.
      The Sisters of Battle and others have shown that Daemons, and Chaos itself can be overcome by simple mental strength, and will power. Also my personal theory, is that the Emperor wanted to take humanity into the webway, then use the Astronomicon to call the Tyranids to wipe the Galaxy clean, then humanity would exit the webway and repopulate the galaxy again, free from the warp and Chaos

    Imagine RG tries to ress the Emp while the Lion tries to kill the Emp to help him ascend. A physical clash between them both....epic. of course the Lion wins. Think Lion kills RG and the Emp but the Custodes cut down the Lion and his Legion. Humanity is saved at terrible cost.
