"Time travel" in 40k seems to be very common and by time travel I mean ship going into the warp and then appearing way latter than expected. Now my question, imagine a ship full of marines of what in their future will become a traitor chapter...appearing in the current time on Terra or near, what would happen to them?

A game of Warhammer 40000 between your pre-heresy dudes and current-day imperial forces would happen.

The time travel shit isn't there just because it sounds cool, it's there to justify anachronistic battles between your army and your buddies'.

>battle barge enters warp

>fuckery happens and it emerges 1000 years later

>emperor has woken up, neutralizes chaos, tyrannids have been beaten back by combined efforts of humans, tau and orks

>necrons have gone back to sleep

what happens?

None of that would happen because it would asvance the plot.

Also, Tau won't do shit even against a splinter hive fleet.

>ship appear on or near Terra without authorization
It's destroyed.

It's not very common, it's just often notable on the rare occasions it occurs

They would probably die because the imperium can't afford to take chances.

I once played in a rogue Trader game which quickly developed into a combination Rogue Trader and death watch. The DM merged two groups together. A ship full of early Space Marines was time-shifted and exited the warp in the 41st millennium as the beginnings of a space hulk. It had been impacted by the much smaller Corvette it had been chasing. Most of the crew was in stasis. The Rogue Trader, after ascertaining exactly what had happened, decided to wake up the Space Marine captain. Things went poorly after that. Most of the ancient marines had trouble accepting what had happened. Several had been driven insane from warp exposure. Most were unhinged when they learn to the current state of the Imperium. These were first-generation astartes, pre-primarch. The ship the impacted was originally their prey. It contained the last two surviving Thunder Warriors.

When those two were Unleashed upon our docked Rogue Trader vessel, we lost a significant percentage of our crew. We managed to bring down both of the Thunder Warriors, though they survived and we put them into stasis. The surviving Marines who had not killed themselves or each other or gone Stark raving mad demanded we escort them back to the Imperium with their prisoners. Things went very poorly when we reached Terra. Most of our crew was executed or mind cleansed. Many of the Marines were debriefed and vanished. The survivors were basically ordered to join the death-watch. Our crew was conscripted and forced to join the death-watch as support personnel. My genetot leveraged his Admech connections to get the Trader and his vessel declared Independent Serfs, basically allowing us to continue as a rogue Trader crew except that we only take missions handed down to us from death watch command. I had to grease some palms with what I had learned from examining both living Thunder Warriors and early Space Marine Biology after the incident. Which was a considerable windfall for my character.

What happened to the Iron warrior garrisons that were left after the Horus heresy? I mean they could just as easily pop up.

Remember that time an Ork Warboss killed his past self to get two of his favorite shootas?

Fucking Orks, man.

>what would happen to them?

What do you want to have happen to them? It's a sandbox setting, so you're supposed to be creative. Here's some options:

1. Imperial authorities purge them.

2. Imperial authorities attempt to purge them, but they escape and join their traitor legion brethren.

3. Imperial authorities attempt to purge them, but they escape and become a new chaos warband.

4. Imperial authorities attempt to purge them, but they escape and become a rouge chapter of Astartes fighting to uphold the Emperor's original crusading ideals despite their persecution at the hands of Imperial authorities.

5. Imperial authorities examine them and declare them "Puritas". They then become the basis for a new Chapter of Space Marines who crusade eternally to prove their loyalty and have a special hatred for their traitor brethren.

I feel like the only thing worse than orks with time travel would blood ravens with time travel.

imagine all the "gifts" and "recovered" legendary gear they'd have.

One that was supposed to be unbreachable was breached by the Tyranids.

Kunning AND Brutal.

What makes you think they haven't?
I mean they've already got Ahriman's staff.

What if in that time the chaos Gods were neutralised or say the Tyranids wiped out all life and the Warp became stable. Would that be observable to the ship inside the Warp at the time?

God, imagine a bunch of Pre-Horus Luna Wolves going to find their Primarch and ending up in the 41st Millenium where he's the Arch-Traitor Supreme

Ouch.

>killing your past sefl doesn't affect you
Ah, 40k time travel works like DBZ time travel

They have WHAT?!?!

Isn't that a Veeky Forums-chapter? I remember reading about that idea. Maybe it was a greentext.

>Luna Wolves
>Veeky Forums-chapter
I hope you're joking

The Tau have been swatting splinter fleets for a long time. Shadowsun killed one without losing a single ship

That's Word Bearers though. I think Veeky Forums needs to make one Luna Wolves style

I've never seen Ahriman's staff pop up but they have wargear stolen FROM A FUCKING PRIMARCH AND KHORNE HIMSELF, I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING.

THEY'VE ALREADY GOT AHRIMAN'S STAFF
Geez, the hearing on some people...

>KHORNE HIMSELF
Gabriel Angelos confirmed to be Tzeentch/Cegorach, being able to steal Khornes stuff and all that?

they also have custodes shit too. Fucking magpies man

Pfft. Those guys WISH they could, just ONCE, pull off the kind of heists the Blood Ravens pull off on a daily basis. As High Magpie of the Blood Ravens, Gabriel Angelos is on a different level to those poswrs.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

Let's see what we get.

Wrong thread, my bad

No, it works how we think time-travel works, i.e. multiverse theory. You go back in the past and kill you grandfather you're not changing your world, but you're creating a world where you don't exist.

i assume it normaly does
warrrgh energy was just strong enough to counteract that

>blood angels
>hiests
surely you jest they simply recive a lot of gifts

>contingent of Space Marines exit the Warp on a jump to a nearby target for purging, only to discover that they beat themselves here by several minutes
We know Warlord Grizgutz took the chance to off himself to get a second shoota, but what would happen if Marines wound up doing this?

>trust no one not even yer zoggin' green self

Where's that one from?

2 options
1) decide that doubling chapter strength is good and roll with it
2) think some alpharius shit is at work and purge

See, there's an easy way to figure out if they're REAL Bludd Rehvens.

Order them to steal one book from the Black Library each. If they succeed, then they're DEFINITELY Blood Ravens. If not...well, they weren't up to snuff in any case.

DAMNIT, THEY'RE STEALING CHAPTER NAMES NOW!

>"Fellow High Lords of Terra, I am sure you already heard rumors about the reason I called for this meeting", said The man, clad in golden armor, ancient beyond even the Imperium.
>"So it is true? Is he...?"
>"Yes, Ecclesiarch. He vanished, the Golden Throne is no more...". Constantins voice almost failed him.
>"What foul heresy could have begotten Holy Terra, that the Emperor himself just vanished? Isn't he the mightiest of the mighty? The one above all us? He cannot just leave the Universe, treachery this must be!"
>Valdor shed a single tear, his first for 10,000 years: "I myself stood guard by his side, ever watchful of his mortal remains. Yet still, in a moment that felt like eternity, he was gone. It is over, High Lords. The Imperium will fail, and humanity will die."
>"W-was there anything left? A message, maybe a scroll? We have to continue! We cannot allow the people to find out about this! We have to continue our work!"
>"Only a single note, written in High Gothic, but encrypted. It reads as following: "TU TEH HI LAWDS UV TERRA: TEH CODEHX BLUHD REHVENS CALLS DIS MANUVA "DA GRETEST GIFT EVA". SEE YA.". That is all that he has left."

>Meanwhile, not far from Sol System
>"WHEW, RELLY NICE FRAM DA LAWDS TO GIB US THIS LIFESIZED STATCHU UF DA EMPRAH, RIGHT MASTER ANGELOS?"
>"Yes, it was indeed nice from them Indrick. Very nice indeed."

Maybe the Blood Ravens are really a chapter made from Space Wolf gene seed.

Or the lost primarch carmen sandiego

I call bullshit until you point me at a source for what you're saying. What game/book?

Pic very related.

Neroth's the one who gets the staff, and it isn't Ahriman's, he's just interested in it.
>Artifact of Ahriman
>A force staff rippling with enough sorcerous power to attract the interest of Ahriman of the Thousand Sons.

We don't know what happened, only that "The resultant confusion stops the Waaagh! in its tracks" (and really, it's funnier left like that).
