（战锤）如果荷鲁斯胜利了，人类和阿斯塔特们会有一个怎样的未来？ 第1页

《迷失之人与受诅咒者(The Lost and the Damned)》中扎渡·拉亚克(Zardu Layak)提到过混沌诸神的力量正在燃烧荷鲁斯的生命，荷鲁斯活不了多久了。

而即使他在与帝皇的战斗中生存，帝皇也准备了留给他的后手。《旧地球(Old Earth)》中伏尔甘最终抵达了黄金王座，并将帝皇于幻象中指引他铸造的七锤护身符(Talisman of Seven Hammers)装了上去。七锤护身符将在黄金王座失效时启动，制造出大灾变(cataclysm)的巨大火焰吞没泰拉的一切，带给混沌力量永远无法恢复的伤害。

‘And the great flame that it will unleash if the Throne fails, if you fail?’
Vulkan felt a firm hand upon his shoulder and heard the darkening of his father’s mood in His words.
‘It will consume the Palace and all of Terra. The Throneworld will burn.’
A sharp turn brought Vulkan eye to eye with the Outlander. Incredulity warred with duty on his face.
‘To deny it to my brother?’
‘No, my son,’ said the Emperor sadly, the Master of Mankind standing before him now. ‘Not to deny it to Horus but to Chaos, and to strike a blow against their forces the like of which they will never recover from.’
‘To win the war you would sacrifice Terra?’
‘If Terra falls and Horus takes it then we have lost anyway, and all of mankind will suffer.’

无论如何，战帅似乎都活不下来，更不用说成为新皇了（摊手）。
