Warhammer coversations

I predict that the Space Wolves primarch, Leman Russ, will be next to rejoin his Chapter. I can't think of any better explanation for why the Space Wolves would be left out of the codex, and Leman Russ is one of the most popular primarchs, so I predict that Leman Russ's return to Warhammer will be in motion by the end of 2024.

"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war."

A few things you should know before reading this is that the warp is basically just hell and there are 4 major gods, known as the chaos gods, one of whom is created in events later described.

The timeline starts with a species known as the necrontyr, who almost all had skin cancer and would die at a young age, asking a group of ancient aliens known as the old ones to help make them live longer. The old ones declined and the necrontyr found some god like beings, known as the c'tan, consuming stars for their energy. These C'tan then offered them immortality, granted to them in a process where their souls were taken and consumed by the C'tan and they were placed within metallic, skeletal bodies and became known as the necrons. They declared war on the old ones for refusing to help them. During this war, the old ones made many species to help them fight. The most important of these are the eldar, space elves who feel emotion much more than any other species, and the krorks, large green fungal creatures that became stronger the more they fought. Eventually, after most of the old ones were dead, the necrons went into a 40,000 year long nap and the krorks devevolved into the orks due to less fighting.

The eldar then built up a large empire. They used secret pathways known as the webway to travel quickly. Whenever one died they would be reborn like a phoenix. This led to many starting to commit deranged acts. The first group group leave the empire are known as the exodites and they took over worlds, known as maiden worlds, where they live. The second group to leave are the craftworld eldar who left on continent sized spaceships. The empire then collapsed when their acts led to the creation of a new god known as slannesh. This caused a large warp rift to appear, killing all that were there. The only other survivors were the dark eldar, who were in a city in the webway.

Humanity had spread across the stars, using the warp as a method for ftl travel, however an AI Uprising and the opening of the great rift led to most planets losing contact with others and becoming more savage. On Earth, a man calling himself the emperor of mankind showed up and took Earth from the techno-barbarians. He then created 20 children, known as the primarchs who were basically demi-gods. Alongside them he created 20 space marine legions, each using the gene-seed of their primarch, leading to them developing traits simular to their primarchs. The primarchs got split up across space before their birth. The emperor then led "The greater crusade" where he took back the other human planets and slowly found the primarchs, one by one. 2 of the primarchs, alongside their legions, were removed from records and one primarch had been split into two.

At around the 31st millennium, the emperor gave his favoured son, Horus, the rank of warmaster while he worked on project to allow humans to access the webway so they wouldn't need to rely on the warp, which by doing they helped empower the chaos gods. Horus then git corrupted by chaos and, along with half the primarchs and legions, waged war with the loyalists in the horus heresy. There are 65 books on the horus heresy. It even has its own game system. I will not describe much more about it but in the end the emperor kills horus who mortally wounded him. The emperor now sits on the golden throne.

Now it is over 10 millennium later and the Imperium is a xenophobic empire who sends many men to their death in combat with aliens and the followers of chaos. There are no good guys, just varying shades of grey. Also a bunch of giant bugs showed up and are trying to eat everyone.

Here's a picture of the main factions. Yes, like 7 of them are just space marines and another 4 are chaos space marines, but still.

Human history. Bold letters indicate where you were wrong 🤓🧐

M1 - M15; Age of Terra

Mankind started pioneering space travel and settled it's home system.

M15 - M25; "Dark" Age of Technology

Humanity discovers the warp and learns to use it for ftl travel. An expensive age of colonization follows. Human psykers (people who can use the powers of the warp like magic) appear in M22. An AI rebellion occurs, and the far-flung colonies lose contact and descend into anarchy.

M25 - M30; Age of Strife

The warp overflows into real space and warp storms cover the galaxy for millenia. Towards the end of the era, the being known as the Emperor rose to power on Terra and recolonized the galaxy.

M31;

Horus Heresy, the Great Scouring, etc. Nothing that critical until M41.

M41; Dark Imperium

999, M41. The 13th black crusade and the opening of the Great Rift.

Well you were only off by a few thousand years. Maybe they won't notice. 🤫
