Obviously there is alot of details and characters missing as well as some questionable motives due to how compressed the video was trying to fit all the main details but I hope it was entertaining!

Sanguinius as the Daemon Primarch of Khorne is way scarier than canon Angron.

I feel like if Lorgar had remained loyalist, he could have developed into a really cool character.

"They prove why they are the Emperor's Children as they fight with the fury of five legions" Love it

You know, I like how this version of the Heresy isn't just "hey, what if everyone's role was reversed" but actually had some major shakeups to later events as well. Like with Rogal becoming an renegade instead of a true traitor, the slight civil war among the traitors when the Emperor backed up Horus, Malcador living, and Magnus becoming the primarch of the Grey Knights.

My headcanon is that for Rylanor, he was more than willing to stay behind on Istvaan so Fulgrim could escape with the others but Fulgrim made him leave. "You are Rylanor, the Ancient of Rites. The legion still needs you, but not as a martyr."

Its nice to see space wolves not becoming khorne demons

I think it would be extremely fitting if both rylanor and fulgrim hold off whilst horus and conrad retreat with their legions. Instead of rylanors last stand in cannon it would be the emperors children, primarch and sons loyal to the end to protect the emperor

I love the idea of Magnus leading the Grey Knights, feels rather ironic and fitting at the same time.

How pre-heresy primarchs would run the Imperium in Guilliman's sted is a quite popular suggestion down here.

a video on how pre heresy primarchs would rule the imperium if they were put into guilliman's situation would be great

Lorgar and Konrad getting their act together and becoming good is actually wild in any setting, and a lot more interesting than them being what they are in canon

What an amazing alternative timeline, legit had goosebumps while watching this video since my personal rankings of the primarchs would basically be flipped upside down

magnus being given the grey knights is honestly a pretty badass detail even if it is unthinkable inside the boundaries of the established lore it would also save the grey knights from the shackles of the inquisition, as they had a real leader that was far above them, like the other astartes chapters.

There's so many alternative heresies now in fanfiction, like Halloween costumes in Buffy fanfic it's its own genre by now. Personally I like the ones where we get a mix of Traitors and Loyalists. Not just a reversal. Or the ones where the Heresy did not happen. Imperium Ascendant!

Words cannot describe how much I want what you described as Erebus's fate in this to actually be canon.

You ought to look into the “Fulgrimian” Heresy next, it’s well developed, far more Primarchs remain loyal than traitor (Morti, Horus, Perturabo remain loyal while the Khan and Manus go traitor).

We need a part 2 to this. It’s great that an alternative heresy leads to a lot more living and loyal primarchs who are active. Guilliman won’t stand a chance.

I think a video on the first founding chapters and the relationships with there successors would be cool

An alternate universe where the Black Templars are a Word Bearer successor chapter and they use the flaming body of Erebeus as a unit standard would be badass af😊
