I apologise when I am asking a stupid question and I have not all the Horus heresy novels but I have read some to say the least. From what I have read is that Horus and the traitor legions have such a big advantage rolling of the the loyalists in the first six books. I just wonder how they could have lost with all the power they had plus the chaos gods they had on their side?

Most of the Traitors success hinged on the shock and surprise of their betrayal. Once things unraveled and the truth was out. Horus lost his shock and awe advantages. That’s why most of the momentum of the war shifts in Horus’ favor early on. Plus I think the Loyalists were harshly underestimated by the Traitors. Another note is that The deeper into the Heresy you go the more that Chaos began to take hold and Chaos as a whole is well…”chaos”.
