Cypra mundi is more than a forge world, it is the main fleet base for the entire Segmentum Obscura. This definitely would make it a huge priority due to its massive shipyards too.

@DanielWW2 8 ай бұрын

Cypra Mundi arguably also is one of the most capable producer of warp capable void craft outside of the facilities of the Terran home system in the Lunar, Jovian Moon and Mars yards. Being able to build warp capable void craft is one thing, but building the bigger and more capable designs, is another in M42. Something the Imperium needs.

Repairing the shorter range beacons and making new ones to make warp travel less impossible until Cawl gets his pylon network off the ground. We now know the Pharos device on Sotha was not unique. There are others scattered throughout the Imperium - on both sides of the rift. Activate them and you can illuminate scores of key systems to aid travel. Plus they can be potentially used for teleporting men and materiel instantly across the Imperium without using the warp.

@@AvitusNox Well, the Lion is one out of 2 (known) living loyal Primarchs left, Guilliman has been running things himself for nearly 2 centuries by himself over the rotting bearly breathing corpse of a empire that's the Imperium. At this point i wouldn't bully Guilliman for growing grey hairs of stress. So if the Lion can stop being a little bitch, put on his big boy pants and help Guilliman save the Imperium! Or at the very least take a major role in leading the armies/navy. The Lion is not just a monster slayer or a King Arthur wannabe, he a fricking PRIMARCH! Even if he's not the brightest, he is still smarter than any mortal man.

I like how these involve providing relief to the 4 major imperial factions still operating there; space marines, the imperial guard, the mechanicus and the adepta sororitas. Would make him much more well liked by his skeptics in each faction

@kevinoliver3083 8 ай бұрын

If re-establishing contact with the Order of the Valourous Heart is on one of Guilliman's objectives: That would explain the presence of the Abbess Sanctorum, Morven Vahl, when he tasked Katla Helvintr with finding a passage through the Great Rift. Obviously the Adepta Sororitas would be involved in the invasion. But Vahl would surely be keen to find out the fate of one of her Orders. (Ref. "The Martyr's Tomb)

@robertkb64 8 ай бұрын

Don’t forget the Lion. Sending the Lion and a consolidated Dark Angels Legion with the Rock to punch a hole through Nachmund directly while Guilliman goes around matches up their specific skills and abilities. I would have said the same with a young Lion, but he’s matured such that I think he’d be a good fit now. Of course that also means Guilliman has to coordinate a multi-theater-war while also not having reliable communications, but if anyone can do it he’s the man for the job (and it gives the brothers a fun venue to meet again). Also fits in with Dante and his burgeoning relationship with the Lion, who I think has particularly bad survivors guilt regarding Sanguinius. I also personally like the idea of the Lion stepping in as a father-figure for the Blood Angels as doing so helps resolve his own shame for having lived. Note: I’m reading a lot of implications into Lion: Son of the Forest and Arks of Omen: The Lion. I just really like this potential story arc if GW decides to build on it.

@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935 8 ай бұрын

I've seen a cool Rewriting, Imperium Nilus is essentially full of space marines (for what ever reason) do not want to become Primaris, staying as firstborn under Dante command. These marines potentially feeling that those going through with becoming Primaris are in a way betraying the Emperor, leading to this group becoming even more dogmatic in their services. While Imperium Santus gets all these new Primaris an gear, with all the former Firstborn either becoming Primaris or leaving to nilus to form new chapters (possibly with the same name) and a shit ton of old equipment an vehicles going to nilus. This way not only do we get to keep our armies both in lore an on the table-top but GW gets to sell basically 2 different space marine armies. Hell Dark Angels and Blood Angels would have been the LEAST likely to accept Primaris so the Lion still returns (an Imperium Nilus gets its own Primarch) and Lord Commander Dante is still the Warden.

The Devastation of Baal started right before the rift opened. The Blood Angels being rescued by RG will (has) happen(ed). Remember GW felted that they jumped too much after the launch of 9th edition where they skipped a lot. So maybe at this time Dante hasn't even meet RG and has not been appointed yet. This also might be during the time that the Lion was still sleeping. The Rock goes over there only to chase the big demon that was trying to become a new chaos god. We know that the main passage will be safe but sense GW turned back time more or less we can only wait and see how it all comes together.
