Last Heresy (Horus Heresy/ ME fusion)

Do you dare question the wonders of the omnissiah?, by the machine spirit! if he wants a usefull servent alonside his champion then by golly he will get it.

I don't know Angron has Kharn with him and he's a pretty swell guy.

No, but I question how much augmentics will Garrus have to receive before he's useful after he's done playing with Gorefather and Gorechild...

Kharn is considered to have a calming effecton Angron.... That realy says alot about him.

Magos Tali'Zorah Nar Rayya devoted follower of the Omnissiah!!!

I'm not totally sure about that. Granted, I'm not on the up and up on all the intricacies of 40K . . . But I don't think the Heresy has actually happened yet. Were the Techpriests as bad as they are in the "present", back when the Emperor was still around to lead humanity and discourage things like the Imperium's worship of him as a God?

And damn, it will be interesting as hell to see what this verse's version of Shepard is . . . If the Heresy is still to come . . . Maybe Shepard is that venerated guardsmen who stood up to Horus and whose demise prompted the Emperor to stop fucking around and take off the kid gloves?

It's possible Ollanius might reappear, but it's too early to tell.

Ollanius Pious, The patron Saint of Meatshields. The most famous user of the "Look out Sir!" Rule.

I know who he is, I was just saying it's too early to tell if he's going to reappear or not.

Point. We need to wait and see if the Heresy goes anywhere near canon.

The Imperial Guard are not meatshields, OKAY they are meatshields! But they are still heroes, one and all!

They are meatshields with great tanks and Lots of Huge stonkin artillery.

Are the Asari all biotic users or are there some psykers as well?

Most of this does not make send unless the human were using Reapers technology in network systems

The Reapers could have manipulated some human using their powers to upload some virus or something into the network to infest it.

All are biotic users. A rare few are psychics as well. They are rare, very powerful and for the most part, supremely fucking crazy.

During the Heresy the Mechanicum was divided into branches of forward looking tech priests and those who were more similar to the 40K ones. There were ones on each side of the fight, but the loyalist forward thinkers were mostly killed.

I can promise that it won't.

I"m not going to be able to do much work on this till weds at earliest, more likely on the weekend. I'm starting a new job tomorrow and am going to have less time for writing in general until i get into the swing of things. That said I can give you this:

Twin demi-gods are walking this planet and that is a rarity. Our Father has only seventeen of us to lead his war machine and there are a host of battlefields where we are desperately needed. Merest rumors of our presence can rally a dying army to shatter a superior foe and it is not without hubris that I say our value is without compare in this century long war. To send two of us to a world such as this is a supreme investment, yet for once it is not a testament to the world's importance. Even Sur'Kesh, the only capital world of our foes we have taken required Russ alone, although that was hideous, revenge driven butchery instead of battle. Nothing lives on the Salarian home world and I doubt it ever will again.

I am Vulkan of the Salamanders Legion and it has been fifty three terran years since I have seen a brother. There were twelve of us found then, twelve unmatchable generals whose aide was required by their father. It should have been a cause of celebration, but instead it was a tragedy. Our gene-father had followed his psychic spore across the cosmos, tracking it down to a minor border world of the Batarians. What he had seen required the most terrifying vengeance, of a kind that would not be witnessed again until the Wolves were unleashed against the Salarians decades later.

Those closest enough were summoned physically withing fighting forces in toe: Horus, wisest, bravest and the best of us all. Gruff, taciturn and unmovable Perturabo. Leman Russ, even in those days known for his talent in creating inhumane savagery. And me, Vulkan. Not the best strategist, unable to match the brilliance of Horus, the strategic genius of Gulliman or the shining victories of the Lion. Nor the greatest swordsman, a title belonging to either the Khan or vain Fulgrim. But I know I am the strongest physically, the one able to win on through sheer grit and toughness. And, for whatever measure it counts, I think only our father cares for mankind more.

When all of us had gathered, four physically and eight through astropathic link, our father made his terrible announcement, dark face grey with grief and hate.

'Your brother's name is Angron,' he said at last, 'and the Batarians have broken him.'

Angron as a slave to the Batarians? Heads will definitely roll. I wonder how the Emperor will deal with the Geth.

Oh snap..... hence why the emperor only mentioned the Turians and the Asari. The empire extermanatus the Batarians and the Salarians .

At least the batarians were wiped from the face of the galaxy. Does anyone think Mordin Solus survived Sur'Kesh?

I can't see him reacting well. It's basically the Iron Men 2.0, as they already rebelled against the Quarians.

He'd survive if he was off Sur'Kesh by the time of it's invasion. Not sure if he's still STG or after. If after than he'll probably survive and be at Omega running a clinic.

Edit: Not sure where the krogan come in but I'm sure they'll have the fight they want even against overwhelming odds.

The only thing keeping Russ from liking the Krogan is that their xeno.

Don't know, this Imperium doesn't feel that xenophobic, with the Quarians being integrated and all. Let Russ get into headbutting contests with all clan leaders, and he will win them over with pure badassitude in a day, and they would accept him as their collective Battlemaster in a week.

Gaius Marius Would Shepard make an appearance in this story?

Humans holds most power in this story and Emperor is trying to unite all the races not exterminate them. So if race hasn't done something very horrible I suspect they end up in Imperium. I still think that Salarians can be in Imperium it just that they have very low numbers or maybe not, with no holding back they can breed as fast as Krogans. Salarians got they homeworld exterminatuted and seems done something else to get on the bad side of Imperium but i don't think they all got killed. The same with batarians, the lower castes of Batarians are as much as victims as all the slaves that Batarians took. It seems this Imperium is more like Tau Empire in wh40k. Also I don't see Horus Heresy happening in this story. In wh40k it was all Chaos gods working together that corrupted Horus and there seems to be no Chaos just Reapers. And as humans don't use any more all that tech that allowed Reapers to infect most of human tech there is no way for Reapers to corrupt Horus. Also Emperor must have made some defence against Reaper infection like in wh40k Admech makes all tech at least partially resistant to Chaos. Of course Reapers may have some "space magic" powers and not use technology to corrupt Horus.
