>>5681134>Summon the ‘Reinforcements’ from a doleman gate."Terra was severed from the rest of reality all while the fleets of Perturabo and Guilliman were almost finished in their approach to Terra.
For this gambit the God of Mankind would call upon all his Warriors to drive the final stake into the arch enemy."
I'm thinking that Horus will try to copy Julius Caesar, putting the Emperor in the same situation that Vercingetorix and his celts were in the siege of Alesia.
And honestly if he wins here, he will have won the entire civil war. The sheer concentration of Loyalist forces in this battle means that if they are defeated, there won't be many of them left to defend the remaining Loyalist territories.
But if the traitors' forces are defeated here, very few of them manage to reach the eye of terror. They won't be such a big problem for quite some time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the black crusades would have to be halved.
The siege of the Holy Terra is far more decisive in this timeline than in the original, and much more destructive as well.
