World Eaters. Not only did a great many stay loyal and have to be killed in the book, but a great many also felt disconnected from their gene father. If Angron turned traitor I could see thousands of semi-coherent berserkers screaming "For the Emperor!" and drowning Angron in their bodies. Angron is already broken, here's their chance to finally be close to their gene father in death.

Except that's wrong.

Your fealty is to the Emperor above all. That take precedence over your Primarch.

Night Lords are still mostly secular, neither worshipping the Emperor nor chaos as a whole (individual marines do fall to chaos though). Could work.

Kurze didn't give two shits about what happened to his legion after he got killed.

I definitely agree with this. But if you don't want to go with World Eaters, Thousand Sons isn't a terribad idea. I'm not sure how you'd work it with the fluff, but isn't it implied that the Blood Magpies or some shit are this?
>>
>>44306149
It wouldn't have worked for TS. they didn't go traitor until the message and prospero burning. Anyone that remained loyal would be off world or executed by SW.

The timing prevents preservation of TS
>>
>>44306223
Could work; you have the ts find out that magnus is making deals with evil entities and the massive sorcery battle ensues!

Could even have the rubric still happen except in this case it's the curse from their primarch in revenge for being forced to flee to the eye via warp portal.
>>
I think personally that world eaters would be better for mass loyalists, and in fact, it's mentioned that many, even those WITH the butchers nails stayed loyal during the heresy. With some maintaining their sanity during the Istvaan III massacre, and hiding amongst the ruins as they waited for heretic forces to pass by, before they would unleash their half maddened marines on them.
>>
>>44306336
Magnus' cabal knew about shit they were doing. First part has come and gone.

I don't understand the second part. By the time rubric happened they were thoroughly marked as traitors.

Entire TS fall is marked by lack of choices while OP's thread is all about making a choice. You can't pass off as loyal if others have made you traitor.
>>
>>44302010
Upon getting the Betrayal at Calth set, I decided to go Emperor's Children, but both Traitor as well as Loyalist, depending on the battle.

I fluffed that the Loyalist faction was a chapter sent to the far regions and, upon hearing of their brothers' betrayal, chose to stand by the Emperor, as they felt it was a duty to their prestigious name.

If Sigismund went traitor he probably would've splintered the legion, I always get the impression that within the IF legion there is this sort of cult of personality towards Sigismund, mainly because he was the top boss and everyone wanted to be as elite as him and the templar bros.

It's called alternate time line... not to hard to understand. Op asked which traitor legion. I was just coming up with warp shenanigans / s way to reinterpret tge history.

Also even with the rubric they aren't necessarily traitor; just lost their bodies and become the equivalent of living power armour. Just don't take off you helmets and no one will know; it's not like their aren't chapters that don't do this already.

And of course they all knew about sorcery, but the change is that I'm the original they stop / didn't know that the warp entities were malignant and out to destroy them. Take a scenario where they do (aka emps isn't a tool) but big red is power hungry after wolfy wolf Russ calls him a pussyboy; the sorcerers find out that he has don the equivalent of sell his soul to the devil for power.

Probably Magnus and the Thousand Sons.

Magnus hid a lot from his sons and had a huge victim complex. Ahriman calls him out on it and basically says that the legion would never have stood for what he did if he had let them.

Why would Morty go chaos his fall never made sense to me other than the fact that only Horus liked him.
>>
>>44310778
>Why would Morty go chaos

He never wanted to go chaos, Typhon was the one who praised nurgle and engineered for the entire legion to suffer so much they started to crave death and mercy from Nurgle who gave them what they wanted, more suffering and despair.

Morty hated tyrants and saw the Emps as another tyrant, which is a very similar reason for Angron and Curze to go renegade.
>>
>>44310846
Bitch nigga, Angron and Curze were totally pants off crazy they didn't have a real reason to go against the Emperor
>>
>>44310778
That was less Mortarion's call and more Typhon's. Typhon had the entire traitor Death Guard stalled in the Warp during the trip to Earth, where they were beset by Nurgle. In the end, despite their tenacity, they all succumbed to Nurgle's call.

Technically Mortarion has only just started to go chaos by the time of Vengeful Spirit. Typhon is on the opposite side of the galaxy and him and his followers are pretty much full Nurgle.

>>44311902
>>44303205
Both of these are absurd extremist views. Every single marine has a hundred different loyalties and its their own views and experiences that will order which of them are valuable and which are not. There's loyalty to the Imperium, to Primarch, to legion, to homeworld, to Terra, to his squad mates, to his immediate superior, and in a few circumstances, to his religion, and his personal skill. All of these things and a hundred more are loyalties that a marine had to uphold or break when they chose a side(or refused to choose a side) in the Heresy.
>>
>>44311075
Even before the HH series Angron was stolen from his family who was then butchered. Then those who enslaved and butchered his family were welcomed into the Imperium.

Curze was not raised by anyone, period. He was a feral child on the worst planet in the Imperium. He was crippled by horrible visions of the future, and was pretty clearly suffering from DID.

World Eaters. Just have them stand up to Angron and refuse to be implanted with the Butcher's Nails. Angron remains a psychotic butcher, but the World Eaters are still lucid.
>>
>>44330494
If I remember correctly (and there are a couple other anons who have mentioned this), the Librarians of the World Eaters couldn't actually receive the Butcher's Nails implants.

Considering how distant Angron was with most of his legion, this could make it possible for a sizable force (maybe a little less than chapter sized) to have been sent elsewhere from the rest of the Legion. Alongside their brothers who chose not to receive the implants, they could decide to remain loyal to the Emperor and turn against their genefather.
It would mean a group of dedicated close-combat monsters lead by battle-mages. I like this idea already.
>>
>>44331342
So, Blood Angels?
>>
>>44302010
The Dark Angels. The Lion could've been corrupted over his ten thousand year nap.

If you're talking 30k, the Iron Warriors. They had so many isolated forts everywhere. Or the Death Guard, since nearly a 1/3rd of them or so were still loyal to the Emperor before Isstvan.
>>
>>44320898
But then what was the point of the Dark Angels getting scared over their heresy?

It sort of made sense when they were the only loyalist legion to have that split, and the fear could carry over even when people started to realize that individuals could fall to chaos as well, but if everyone was going kind of heretic but took care of it, what were the Dark Angels so afraid of? It's just gotten ridiculous.
>>
>>44330494

A lot of the HH stuff is pretty tragic. Like how the War Hounds turned into the World Eaters, and how they loved their Primarch and wanted to sympathize with him even though he was a pathetic, raging failure, so they voluntarily stabbed themselves in the brain so they could be closer to him.
>>

There's actually a warband out there that tries to relive the days of the Luna Wolves, just like there's a warband that still worships Horus as a god and does Sons of Horus shit.

It wouldn't surprise me if one of those groups managed to find somewhere quiet in the Imperium to settle down and stay loyal. The Star Phantoms do wear white armor...

>>44331873

>>44308336

TRAITOR
>>
>>44331782
Because the Dark Angels lost close to 50% of their legion. Plus, they're one of the more prideful stubborn legions.
>>
>>44331782
Siding with Horus is not the same thing as turning to chaos, at least not at this point. We don't know enough about the Fallen at this point but they're clearly more than just those who turned against their legion. From a loyalist perspective, the Dark Angels care about their reputation. A lot. Possibly more than any other legion, with really only the Emperor's Children and the Imperial Fists even coming close. From the Dark Angel perspective, they were The First. The wisest. They are the ones who have been through everything. To be anything less is a terrible sin.
The White Scars on the other hand don't give a fuck about their reputation. Sure some of them sided with Horus. Most were dealt with, some escaped. And perhaps for hundreds of years, people will distrust the White Scars even more than they already did. But to them? They don't care. They do what they want.

As for other legions, the numbers that turned are at most a smattering, but even if 500 to 1,000 marines turned, that's nothing compared to the ~100,000 marines in each legion. They'd never be missed. However, that's more than enough to create a TT force out of them.

Both of those warbands are still outright chaos followers. Essentially they were just created so people could have an easy to use lore reason for using the Luna Wolves and Sons of Horus color schemes on chaos marines.
>>
>>44331959
Not the guy you're replying to, but originally DA was the only loyalist legion that had traitors (during the first few editions, and even after that I think it's been pretty much just the BL books that have mentioned other fallen loyalists?).
>>
>>44332063
The Fallen DA didn't side with Horus though, they sided with Luther (iirc).
>>
>>44331917
Suspected, but still not proven. If their gene-seed is as pure as the Dark Angels, that means they could be about as pure as the Luna Wolves before they went traitor. They may have been officially founded in M38, but there's a canon conflict that places them in a battle only a century after the Horus Heresy - and either way, time moves strangely in the warp, so they could have showed up in M38, but still have been from right after they split off from Abaddon. They even show a preference for striking fast with drop pod assaults, sort of like the Luna Wolves. Though they prefer long-ranged weaponry, they're good at all forms of combat - again, like the everyman Luna Wolves.

NL =/= Sharks. This was more or less completely disproven by what was written during HH about the Terran Raven Guard.

And why not throw some theories around? It's fun, and it's not hurting anyone. We're all here to argue the maybes, right?

Like the majority of space marine chapters.

And like the old Luna Wolves - and markedly not much like the Dark Angels, who tend to make use of the Deathwing and Ravenwing. The Star Phantoms don't have such equivalents.

Also note that during the final battle on New Badab, seven of their companies fought in the first wave - a lot like the Speartip idea (several companies of marines striking the heart of the enemy) the Luna Wolves were supposed to hold strongly to.

>>44302010

Iron Warriors, for the simple reason that as a garrison legion they were parceled out in penny packets perched on perilous positions. So a pretty percentage didn't pile in with Perturabo when he permanently pounded the population of their home-world, and might possibly be petulant at their Primarch's poor public relations policies.

And the Carmine Blades didn't have a Death Company, didn't mean they weren't Blood Angel successors. Chapters that aren't actually taught by another chapter of their lineage wouldn't know those things.

>Also note that during the final battle on New Badab, seven of their companies fought in the first wave - a lot like the Speartip idea (several companies of marines striking the heart of the enemy) the Luna Wolves were supposed to hold strongly to.
This is at least an interesting piece if you're suggesting that they're actually a Sons of Horus legion-split. Not if they just happen to have Luna Wolf geneseed. Organizational structure is not genetic.
>>
>>44332401
>markedly not much like the Dark Angel
If they are in fact a DA successor, and they both deny it, it wouldn't make sense for them to use the same structure as the DA, at least not on the surface (they could still have their inner circle etc.), so it could still go either way. There have also been cases of the DA entering a battle en masse, because of the hunt for the Fallen.

You're comparing handfuls of assholes to a full blown legion garrison.
>>
>>44332636
I'm not comparing anything, I'm saying that the reason the DA are so paranoid about the knowledge of the Fallen (other than the fact that they keep all knowledge to themselves if possible) is that when the story was written, they were the only loyalist legion with traitors.
>>
>>44332230

It doesn't have to be proven. "Suspected" and "WRITTEN BY FORGE WORLD ITSELF MENTIONED BY NAME IN IMPERIAL ARMOUR" are way more concrete than "hur dur I'm a faggot on /tg/ and Star Phantoms are white so they might be Luna Wolves!" Fuck you and fuck your idiocy if you think you have any legitimate evidence for saying Star Phantoms = Luna Wolves.

>NL =/= Sharks. This was more or less completely disproven by what was written during HH about the Terran Raven Guard.

Exactly. And Star Phantoms ≠ Luna Wolves, in much the same manner, so stop fucking defending it.
>>
>>44332230
>>44332919

And by the way, before HH3 proved Carcharodons were Raven Guard, they ALREADY HAD TEXT IN IA10 SAYING THEY WERE SUSPECTED RAVEN GUARD JUST LIKE STAR PHANTOMS ARE SUSPECTED DA.

In other words, pre-HH3, Carcharodons were just as Raven Guard as Star Phantoms were DA. So you saying Star Phantoms are Luna Wolves is JUST AS STUPID as you saying Carcharodons are NL. Think on that, retard, before saying it's not a stupid idea. Your stupidity is going to cause the same shitstorms that NL = Carcharodons did.

Go ahead and call me mad to prove my point that you're a retard, too.

I thought the Death Eagles were suspected to be made from EC loyalists as there was a millenial called the Death Eagles.

Not really. They'd probably behave a lot like the Black Templars (or just Pre-Heresy Warhounds), except with psychic artillery.

I think they would probably change the name. That's just a little too obvious, even for the Inquisition.
>>
>>44302010
Iron Warriors is the most obvious, since a splinter group stays loyal in the 3rd FW book. They had quite a few battlegroups spread out throughout the galaxy.

You could do Alpha Legion - not necessarily as loyalists, but as being so self-interested that they'd openly fight other traitor legions.

Maybe a Death Guard ship or garrison that didn't make it to Istvaan due to warp storms. Or something similar with Thousand Sons (didn't make it back to Prospero).

I think it's less likely with the other traitor legions.
>>
>>44333826
Well there was a millennial called Death Eagles that fought traitors during the heresy, then theres the Death Eagles chapter that we know nothing of but that they are rumored to be Raven Guard successor of unknown founding/origin, take that as you may.

Just stop.

>>44335367

Because they are equivalent. In 2012 when HH did not exist and IA10 was still relatively new, all you knew was Star Phantoms were stated to be possibly DA in the text itself, same with Carcharodons being RG.

There is no "prooof" of either, but to call Carcharodons NL or Star Phantoms LW in 2012 is stupid. Just because FW got sick if your stupidity in 2014 and made Carcharodons CLEARLY RG, doesn't change the fact that Star Phantoms AREN'T LW.

Who is more likely, DA who were PRINTED BY FW THEMSELVES into IA10, or LW WHO AREN'T MENTIONED AT ALL?

And you're an idiot because they already said "pre-HH3" meaning we're assuming pre-2014, for the sake of the comparison, hence learn to read and stop being a dipshit. You know, if that's within your meager mental faculties.

Aren't some Blackshields exactly this? Loyal marines of traitor legions that want to be recognized as far away from their primarch as possible.
>>
>>44338544

Blackshields are a bunch of things, going to be touch on in the next FW HH book.
>>
>>44338544
Well, they'd be some pretty goddamn old marines in that case. Deathwatch wasn't founded until about M33 I think.
>>
>>44343258

Blackshields refer to something slightly different in HH, whether there is any connection is not yet known.

Kharn is still loyal. He's alpha legion.
