[Macharian_Crusade]

I was thinking about the reincarnation of the Emperor as a theme for the 42nd millenium possibly. I say this because, haven't the novels and such reached the end of the 41st millennium? I was thinking then that logically, GW would eventually expand the game into the 42nd millennium. It'd be interesting to read fan fiction or such about such a scenario, where the Emperor recovers and returns to his people, although admittedly if the Emperor did return there'd be little or no doubt as to eventual Imperial victory. Most likely the return of the Emperor would signal the end of conflict, possibly the renewal of the Great Crusade. Still, that brings to mind the thought that maybe authors could use just such a scenario in upcoming novels. I think a series of novels chronicling the "2nd Great Crusade" would be interesting to read about.
