Oh, so this is an alternate timeline.

it's known as Homebrew 40k, if you search it up you'll see fan-created alternate timelines where the canonical loyalists turn to chaos and the chaos-turned legions are instead the loyalists.

But this is (from left-to-right) Magnus, Angron, Lorgar, Perturabo, Horus, Fulgrim, Mortarion, Konrad, and Alpharius Omegon if they were loyal and if their (canon) loyalist brothers turned instead; and not fan-made chapters and factions outside of the established lore.

alternate timelines are a part of Homebrew 40k if I'm not mistaken.

it's tagged as homebrew in the 40k gallery

But it's from Art Station, not Homebrew 40k.

yes because that's where the artist posts his art.

But none of the original sources for the artist have tags mentioning Homebrew 40k.

unless you can find another title to distinguish an alternate timeline of WH40k from its canonical timeline then homebrew is all I can consider it to be.

maybe there's another title for it but I don't know.

There's already a title for that, it's called fanart.

did a little search and found that there's a page on the homebrew 40k wiki that lists all the alternate universes, if that doesn't legitimize this being homebrew 40k for you then I don't know what will.

Because it's named differently. One of the Homebrew settings is called to Roboutian Heresy.

Alternate timelines aren't new idea; fandoms have been doing the same thing for years, it's nothing special or unique and doesn't need a title.

You're seriously gatekeeping fanart? Unironically?

Xhydralisk said:

tough shit, it has a title, it's Homebrew 40k, and a source provided legitimizes it, if you're still unsatisfied then here's something that'll listen to you

It's fanart; a three-dollar bill has more legitimacy.

You use that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I don't think you do, either.

Apparently the skeleton that is now Lorgar's wicked new staff is supposed to be what happened to this timeline's version of Erebus, so I tagged him.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. XD

I love this au but everytime I see loyalist Mortarion he looks like optimus prime.
