Isn't the Emperor ascending into the Dark King ultimately a good thing? As a Chaos god of ruin, he would basically ensure that humanity was incapable of ever being truly destroyed, by solidifying the very concept of humanity with a foundational aspect of reality.
>>96896102Wrong. It would absolutely destroy humanity, take a long fucking look at the Eldar and their relationship with Slaanesh to get an idea.
>>96896110But the souls of the Eldar still live on inside of Slaanesh. Likewise, so too could the souls of humanity live on in inside of the Dark King, while daemonic husks are sent out in his image to fight the alien and the heretic.
>>96896110Is it really so different from what's going on now? I forget exactly how many psykers get fed to the Emperor on the daily to keep the Astronomicon on. A thousand? Ten thousand?Depending on how much being the Dark King changes him, the Emperor might not even want to fuck over humanity the way Slaanesh does the Eldar. He could just fuck up the other Chaos Gods the way they're scared he will and let humanity live their lives and take their souls when they die without being any more responsible for it than he was when he was on the Throne.>>96896112Alternatively, there's the Living Saints and the Legion of the Damned.
>>96896102>t. ChaosStop posting Nurgle, get off your pustulent ass and go fix your garden.
>>96896461Nuh yet
>>96896102If you believe that Humanity is so important that the destruction of all reality and all life across the universe is a fair trade for our survival, sure. I'd call you a schizo no better than other Chaos-slave species though.
>>96896102Let Matt Ward write End Times, I want to see that faggot Valdor be solo'd by the warp dust crackhead Draigo.
>>96897249Anyone who believes in the Imperium already believes in that premise
>>96897249>If you believe that Humanity is so important that the destruction of all reality and all life across the universe is a fair trade for our survival.Yes, I do.Screw the other species.
>>96896102Because being skaven sucks so Emperor finally becoming Great Horned Rat of 40k would be the final nail in the coffin of humanity's future.
Can someone please call the Inquisition please? This thread stinks of heresy!
>>96896112>But the souls of the Eldar still live on inside of Slaanesh.Being tortured for all eternity. The souls of humanity would suffer the same under the Dark King, though presumably with less BDSM flavour.Hell is not a good liferaft.
The bluds at GW ran out of euro comics to rip off so now they're ripping off Shin Getter Robo :skull:
>>96896112If the only way to save humanity is by shoving everyone into the Hellraiser dimension... I'd say it's time we accept we've had a good run and shut the lights off before we go.
What is the Dark king?Sounds like non-canon black library slop
>>96898734You think the average Imperium citizen can tell the difference between being tortured for eternity and…just living in the Imperium?
>>96899151This, sounds like edgy BL trash to retcon the Star Child.
>>96899357The Star Child and the Dark King are concepts inherently tied together
>>96896102uh how exactly is this going to help sell space army men miniatures?
>>96898547slave to Chaos.
>>96896102>Isn't the Emperor ascending into the Dark King ultimately a good thing?It means he causes the Fall of Mankind. Same exact shit as the Fall of Eldar, except it's humanity taking the bullet this time. Terra and all the core worlds of the Imperium implode in a gigantic hellstorm of Warp energy, the new Chaos God proceeds to devour as many human souls as he can get his hands on, the Imperium collapses without an Astronomicon and without the centralized leadership of the Adeptus Terra to lead it forward, and humanity is doomed to cling desperately to hopeless survival while fleeing the depredations of the Dark King, just like the Eldar do with Slaanesh. >by solidifying the very concept of humanity with a foundational aspect of reality.That's already the case with the other Chaos gods, who have all taken on a primarily human form because humanity is the main fuel of all the emotions they sustain themselves with. Yes, even Slaanesh is more human in appearance than Eldar. They're old news.

>>96903532>incorrect reddit headcanon that humanity is responsible for the chaos godsoh stfu already you retarded faggot. That makes no sense idiot. Stop spamming it.
>>96896102How is Ruin an original element of Chaos? Nurgle already covers it.It should be Tyranny or something, a dark subversion of Order that the Imperium was supposed to embody. Chaos within Order.
>>96896102Dark King is BLslop nothingburger with not a single codex entry mention.>>96904604>How is Ruin an original element of Chaos? Nurgle already covers it.Chaos God portfolios are idiotically written but Encroaching Ruin is an Aetheric Dominion thing and is, essentially, Chaos United (as opposed to Be'Lakor/Malice representing Ravenous Dissolution, i.e. self-devouring nature of Chaos).
>>96904591>incorrect reddit headcanon that humanity is responsible for the chaos godsOh, anon...
>>96905060no it did not. It makes no sense and is just anti-hfy headcanon crap from reddit. Its not lore or canon, we have actual canon lore that says the chaos gods were the made by the Eldar.Especially you claiming Slaanesh is human when it is an Eldar god and their nemesis.Name dropping RT era shit or older material just outs you as a redditor retard making shit up. Stop being an idiot.
