Should of had Ultrama get stuck on the other side of the rift. Have Gulliman pull his Imperium secondus crap again after seeing the Imperium is a mess and have the two enter into a kind of cold war, only working together cause Chaos is the bigger threat. Primarus could have only been an Imperium Secondus faction only.
They needed to hand Chaos a win to make them seem like a threat and make the setting about them and only them. Other villain factions don't matter, only chaos gets to do things.
GW had to trick idiot kids and WAAC-gays into buying their army twice at a premium. Either you bought Buymoreis or you weren't competitive, at least as far as SM armies went. Sure, there were other, more competitively viable armies at the time, but they didn't have even 1/100th of the sales that Space Marines do. I stepped away from 40k right as 5th dropped. Now the setting's as much of a badly handled shitshow as Age of Suckmore.
>Either you bought Buymoreis or you weren't competitive
This is just wrong, though. Vanguard Veterans, Sanguinary Guard, Grav Devs, Centurions, and all kinds of old firstborn marine units have been competitively top end for marines for large portions of the time since 8th edition launched.
The theory for years now has been that we'll do a West and East Rome sorta thing, with Roboute's shinny progressive Imperium on one side and a grimdark hellhole Imperium (likely under The Lion) in the nasty half.
I find it hilarious that the warp is supposed to break the laws of physics, of time and space, yet the great riff being a literal line dividing the galaxy implied traveling through the warp is based entirely on euclidean geometry. Its so fricking stupid.
>Warhammer 40k lore doesn't make sense
whoa, what next, you gonna tell me the sun is hot?
Divide Primaris and old marines. Next question
Dark Imperium will be absorbed by the Tau Empire.
They're on the wrong side of the rift for that.
They have a wormhole leading to the other side of the galaxy.
To counterbalance the fact that the Imperium gained a bunch of huge wins in Cawl, the Primaris Marines and a fricking primarch returning.
moronic decisions don't cancel each other out like that
The Imperium is failing, splitting in two.
Just as the roman empire split in two towards its fall.

To up the odds without changing the status quo.

To offset a Primarch and a new legion of super space Marines entering the fray
to get people's attention
and also to give them space to have chaos be a major threat in places other than just the Eye of Terror

>Warp travel was already dangerous and the Imperium was already divided.
