Phew, heavy stuff. Whatever happen to the Astronomicum (sp?) then ? With
that going out and the Navigators able to warp "jump" a few light years at a
time, it does not look too good for the Imperium. But then we will see the
Sensei(s). I can see it now.
"The Chaos strikes back."
"Return of the Sensei(s)."

I thought Rogal Dorn was dead ? At least in the SM fluff, they depicted him
to be in skeletal form (?) and they even took away his hands - so that the
Masters of Imperial Fists can scrim-shaw on his skeletal hands.

Ditto for Blood Angels's primarch Sanguinius. He was killed by Horus,
supposed no question about that. But I suppose anything is possible in GW
universe. But one big question, if Sanguinius is still alive, will the Red
Rage, Blood Thirst still goes on in the Death Company ?

Kinda sad isn't it ? But if there is a good leader/administrator among the
primarchs I would think the UM primarch (can't recall his name at the
moment) would be the natural choice. After all, he not only brought the
Golden Age to the Ultramar star system but he wrote most if not all of the
Codex Astartes.

Thanks all the same.
