Yeah i mean that's fine. Also bouncing ideas back and forth is good.
But i'd wait to see the game before venturing into very specific details.

I look forward to seeing more updates about your project. I'm quite fond of the Warhammer 40k universe.
I do hope I will be able to play as an Ork though. They are so much fun with their cockney accent and their casual warmongering ways.
Call me crazy, but I honestly think that a 30k mod (well, Great Crusade) would work better with this.

Problem with that is humanity pretty much wins hands down. I mean The Emperor plus all the Primarchs?
If there was a 30K era mod I'd say the earliest you could go is the Horus Heresy.
But you'd start with one world, and there were disputes before the Heresy. Lots of things can go wrong, personally I feel if the Alpha Legion was discovered first, I think things would be far more interesting! Its a simulation, so its not like things will play out like they did in Lore 100% of the time.
(The most interesting to me would be if the Emperor died halfway through the conquest, so you have some primarchs found and they form their own Empires like Imperium Secondus, and others undiscovered and corrupted to Chaos very quickly.)
I think it could be pretty fun to try to avert the Horus Heresy entirely, provided it is sufficiently difficult.
It's possible, but you would definitely have to cull far more legions then the Emperor did(I believe he only purged 3?)
Only problem with that is that we already know which legions will turn traitor, since we have the benefit of hindsight. Wouldn't culling the traitor legions always be worth preventing the Horus Heresy?
Well it could be like the Protestant event in EU4, They always select a random name and random generators to start the reformation.. So I would assume something like that could be potentially possibly in this game, where you have a random generator among all the legions. There are so many things to calculate and we don't really know how the game even plays out right now haha, though, speaking if there's some system of loyalty among vassals..(similar to EU4, but its just done with Chaos influence perhaps, and another factor) The Primarchs' opinion of the Emperor would be greatly lowered if he does it too much, or too quick.
Plus its not as if once you turn your back on the Imperium you automatically turn into Chaos. Some Legions were on the fence and very well could have gone renegade if it didn't turn into such a battle of Good vs Evil like in the Heresy.
Alternate heresies like the Dornian Heresy are like the fandom's favourite form of fan-fiction (even I've written one), so they should definitely be possible in the mod.

While everyone is already debating possible sub-mods and alternative settings, I just wish you the best of luck with the attempt on a faithful 40K mod. I know from experience that pre-release conceived mods have an especially hard time getting done due to overwhelming final challenges and changes to an early released game.
I haven't read the whole thread, so I'm not sure if they already showed up(if not they certainly will), but don't let the "everything after X edition is bad and shouldn't be implemented" hipsters get to you. Best of luck!

As a native speaker i can help with russian localisation.
We have a fair amount of 40k fans here in Ruusia.

There are two Legions who were were purged, as you say, prior to the Heresy. Why, how and who they were is a mystery though. There are also hints that some of the Legionnaires from those Legions were folded into others - again, why is never answered.
