>>5271613That's actually an excellent theory. It fits so many ways. Lorgar and Talos are really not going to see eye to eye even during the Great Crusade. More so, the 2nd legion is good at shutting off their emotions and likes to blow up planets. It is our specialty. Maybe we end up getting tasked to obliterate Monarchia rather than the Ultramarines.
With our null tech and shutting off the warp in regions, Lorgar can't just sit back. We are committing the vilest heresy against the realm of his gods, and the greatest threat to Chaos. And not to mention he has three times as much reason to hate us because when the Emperor blames him for religion, he summons another religious son to purge him, and no matter how hard he points at us he still cannot risk the Imperium warring with the Mechanicus. Plus given how we are a Fabricator General and him arguing directly with us cuts him off badly from his normal admech support, forcing him to resort to those techpriests even we find no favor in. We may end up pushing the Dark Mechanicum closer to the Wordbearers even more so than they are now, for they both worship Chaos undivided.
Lorgar cannot meditate upon the mysteries while we still live, and neither can Talos rest while Lorgar is about the galaxy, the true representation of the warp gods he despises so and the great enemy of the Dragon and his Machine God.
