Still would have put two major pieces back on the board for the imperium but still allow Magnus and Mortarion to be the big actually threatening chaos poster boys. Fuck that would've been cool. The Ultrasmurfs and Space Puppies kicking ass alongside the primaris kids.<br/><br/>Russ could've been all proud and shit to finally have a successor chapter to his name in the Wolfspear despite Magnus's dickery. Plus with him around we could've seen  the Wulfen and the Black Dragons actually get better treatment because the wolves are one of the better chapters when it comes to judging loyalty to the imperium.<br/><br/>...*sighs* The possibilities. Hell it would've only marginally reduced the prominence given to Gulliman's resurrection and all that other Gathering Storm shit.
