>>5271467True. But then, so is Guilliman.

Talos isn't going to change the outcome of the HH, at best changing some pieces but the board remains balanced.
I suspect if we somehow manage to achieve Talos surviving into 41k, it will have to come at some terrible cost that limits his influence. Much like all the primarchs both loyalist and traitor had some drawback that prevented them from just getting their shit together and unfucking pr burning down the Galaxy.
With the Traitors, it was their apathy and becoming pawns to Chaos great game against each other. Why burn the Imperium down, when its a fat teat to suckle on. Plus they still hate each other.
And of course the loyal Primarchs were struggling just to keep the crumbling thing together, before they were either dead or dissilusioned.
If we want Talos to live through to 40k/41k as a loyalist, there will likely be some kind of cost. I can only wonder at what that terrible cost will be.
