Editing Indomitus Crusade (section)

===Other Imperial issues===
The Primaris Marines debate has only gotten worse after the end of the Crusade, with most people seeing Cawl's creations as either necessary abominations or an outright heresy, depending on whom you ask. If Guilliman speaks soon and intelligently, this could be dismissed by his pointing out the Primaris are made from the most pure gene-seed in a device created by the Emperor himself using techniques used in the creation of the Custodes, so calling it heresy is like saying the Primarchs and Astartes in general are heretical. The Custodes know the Emperor approves, and the Custodes ''do '''not''''' like it when people refuse the Emperor's will.

On the administrative side, Guilliman has to manage several warzones at once while ruling the whole Imperium and dealing with the [[Ecclesiarchy|various]] [[Inquisition|groups]] that are opposed to his attempted reforms, which is a difficult task even for the Primarch known for his administrative skills. It'll be fine once he realizes that the current Imperium would be totally chill with him just exterminating all the groups opposing him. Even if he tried to wipe out the Ecclesiarchy the vast majority of people wouldn't see a heretic destroying worship of the Emperor but instead would see their religious institution refusing to roll over and die on the whim of one of the God-Emperor's own sons and are therefore heretical for not dying when their god's son told them to.

The Mechanicus' higher echelons are also highly annoyed that Cawl is calling so many shots, and only Cawl's seniority and knowledge of many long-lost technologies has kept them from declaring him an outright heretek - something rather amusing, considering the Primarines and their armour were created by the Emperor's leave before the Great Crusade. The fact that the Emperor = Omnissiah thing is still a thing (despite the recent political/religious tensions Guilliman's caused in the Imperium since his return) may also be lessening this somewhat, since it would be heresy to claim a Prime Conduit of the Omnissiah - one who can prove he's acting on the Omnissiah's own orders, at that - would be a Very Bad Idea for any tech-priest with half an ounce of sense.

Also, the <s>[[Squats]]</s> [[Leagues of Votann]] have finally made themselves known to the wider galaxy after millennia of playing the universe's longest game of hide-and-seek. This is thanks in part of the Cicatrix Maledictum ruining their cosy galactic cottage core and forcing them to expand outside of the core for the first time in their race's history. This has proven to be a mixed blessing for the Imperium. On one hand, there is a new faction of extremely powerful abhumans that kicks Chaos and Xenos ass like there is no tomorrow. On the other hand, there is a new faction of extremely powerful abhumans that can also kick Imperial ass if something like the AdMech got too adventurous for their own good. So far, relations seem pretty stable with the League as both factions have bigger fish to fry, so the High Lords could at least swipe their sweat for now.
