The planet has no idea what a chaos space marine is, and just assumes this chaos warband from "The Emperor's Children" (a name that belies they are twisted freaks) are the Imperium coming back. Instead of razing the planet, the warlord bathes in the admiration and chooses to rule it for a decade.

The premise is great. The warlord in true Emp Children fashion is so self-obsessed that he puts everything on hold (and we later find out, orchestrated the whole crash) just to try and build a "perfect society" like Fulgrim (primarch/space-dad of the Emperor's Children). I mention a decade because..

Well..it all goes to shit. Turns out ruling on "make drugs free to everyone and the nobles have to fight (literally, in a pit) makes for a piss-poor society, and everyone in his warband wants to leave. Including a very interesting side character, his "lover", the demon that is possessing the warlord

Everyone turns on the warlord (mostly), including his demon gf which possesses the warlord's underling who bares a physical resemblance to Fulgrim (that demonic cucking is real salt in the wound for his failure). And when you make a society based on combat, the other chaos gods are showing up

I quite liked all the supporting chaos characters, the normal humans are just kinda ok. The exception is a normal human who turns Khorne follower purely out of hatred for the Slaaneshi warband that took his planet over. I loved him. I felt there was just too much going on in such a small setting.

Genestealers are here, now a Khorne Bloodthirster, and it's all resolved with the warlord saying "fuck it" and re-releasing genestealers he had in storage from when they arrived, which called the Tyranid swam to destroy the planet. Even though it takes place over a decade, it all felt very fast.
