It would be cool to have the emperor back in the flesh. Many of the Imperial
policies are made by the Administratum, not always with the Emperor's
knowledge when he was bound to the throne. It would be interesting to see
what he has to say about things when he can more freely move around.

That would rock! And it would be necessary, remember all the chaos
primarch's are still "alive".

I like this a lot, a second Heresy would be great, maybe even a worldwide
netepic campaign could be launched to simulate this.

Image a warlord along the lines of Ghazkul who would unite all the ork
tribes....scary!

Probably the Tyranids, humans are in only one galaxy the Tyranids have
destroyed several.

Tough call with chaos united, humanity may need to concentrate on one enemy
while holding another, tricky.
