Horus Heresy - Hey, the Traitors are losing?

[JimGoodman]

As of now, the Traitors have effectively lost one legion (Thousand Sons, Prospero.) And Three are badly Mauled -
* Night Lords (Thramas Crusade)
* World Eaters (Isstavan + Ultramar)
* Emperor's Children (Lost half their legion in Isstavan + Losses in the eye and against at the Perfect Fort)

More than, that
* Alpha Legion loyalty unknown. Either way, they go AWOL by the end.
* Death Guard also suffered at Isstavan
* Word Bearers mauled fighting in Ultramar

Compare Loyalists - Only four legions down, Salamanders, Iron Hands, Raven Guard and Ultramarines. And their not even completely out.

The blood angels, dark angels, white scars, and space wolves are all carefully positioned by horus to prevent them from joining the loyalist forces in the defense of Terra. Out of those four, only the white scars manage to fight through Horus's blockades. Meanwhile the Traitors have destroyed the only legions standing in between them and Terra besides the Imperial Fists.

 

[AlexZ]

Yes, the Traitors have fewer forces, but the Loyalists are completely disorganized. Horus was the warmaster, he wasn't supposed to turn traitor.

Traitors lost the battle ( Horus Heresy ), but not the war. Unless the emperor gets resurrected, Chaos will eventually win. They are slowly, but surely chewing through Imperial defenses and worlds.
