>>741884332You deserve it and this board sucks dick
how did he walk around the earth for millennia without anyone notice
After playing Rogue Trader and Space Marine II back to back, I come to the conclusion 40k is an awful setting for plots but a good setting to watch things die.
>>741884553He was able to hide
>>741884330This is 40,000 years in the future. 40,000 years ago, the average man was... oh, they were actually 6 feet tall. Humans shrunk several inches due to the agricultural revolution. Learn something new every day. Point is, humans are gonna be taller in the future

The Emperor isn't human and neither are any of his Space Marines.
I don't understand 40k>Some has-been zombie fag is on a chair>thousands get sacrificed for him??? why exactly? TThat corpse is dead and does fuckall

>>741883338isnt the Emperor a living corpse?
>>741883338IDK probably just a gun, but I guess Warhammer lorefags with nothing better to do with their time will be like "erm actually, the deep lore of the series says this character would be impervious to all damage, which makes this character extremely deep because I'm 12 and never played anything with any real depth and just like the aesthetics,"
>>741884810Turks were nowhere close to Anatolia at that time, historically illiterate anon.
>>741883338>exposed headShoot him in the dome
>>741884890The corpse sits at the huge hole in reality and if removed or not sustained, Earth would be instantly swarmed with daemons.
>>741883528Yeah and how are you going to be able to hit Big E when his mere presence forces Daemons to lose all composure, either run away in absolute terror from him, dissolve into nothingness, or turn on their own kind out of utter insanity.Then you've got big E, with the power to put an entire legion to it's knees with his psychic might, tens of thousands of Space Marines forced to kneel all by the power of one man, the Emperor. If he wanted it, he could fuck you up and stop your heart with nothing but a thought.
>>741883338You don't need to because this guy right here already did. Say thank you.

>>741885169Glory to the Eightfold Truth!
>>741883338>I don't know man
>>741883338Why is the emperor so big? Is he mutant?
>>741884875You're right, the emperor isn't a human but GOD. All hail the Emperor of Mankind!
>>741885124Sure thing buddy, thats why he didnt do any of these things on Terra.>>741885169>Horus went evil because this faggot stabbed him with an evil poopy knifeReminder to ignore BL bullshit
>>741884875Yep that's the whole point. The Emperor considers himself and other transhumans abominations and a necessary evil to seizing humanity's birthright. That's why he was so insistent on having normal humans govern the Imperium, which was also a big reason why the Space Marines rebelled, because they were transhuman supremacists
>>741885234Glory indeed brother!
>>741883338literally all you have to do to kill any of these superhuman characters is get them on a space ship then blow up the spaceship in deep space.
at least i'm not a corpse
>>741884825Signalis already attempted this porn-addicted AGP plotline
>>741883338
>>741885304Horus and Abaddon as well as the entire Black Legion have always kind of sucked. Literally every other chaos character or faction is more compelling.
>>741885304Yes he did, in the Webway he fought. He killed tens of thousands of Daemons. From the Master of Mankind book.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeOp6mFcRQc
>>741885050Yeah, and he's so powerful that even if you entered the throne room and looked at that "living corpse", you would immediately keel over and die from the overwhelming psychic energy radiating off of him like a sun. Gulliman could barely handle standing in his presence and he's a demigod
>>741885023Have some AI sloppa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huKRew_nEGI
Throw chaos knights and daemon engines at him until he finally dies. The orcs almost killed him on Ullanor, he isn't unkillable.
what would happen to the emperor if I just shot him in the head
>4 chaos gods>8 pointed star
>>741885651The emperor in 40k is a vastly different and more powerful entity than he was in 30k.>>741885759
>>741885690You wouldn't, because his psychic aura would compel you to drop the gun and drop to your knees crying and begging for forgiveness, which he would grant :)
>>741883338by telling him that he looks like a nortubel character
>>741883338with the help of your reformed daemonette gf of course
>>741885690Nothing, his skin is stronger than the strongest 'bullet proof' armour. It would bounce off.
>>741883338>human Literally just wait until he dies of old age
>>741885928Yeah keep waiting
>>741885017Betray who? Humanity or his creations?>>741885320That's interesting but it's the first time I've heard about this, granted I'm not deep in 40k lore. When did they rebel and how?That's genuinely interesting though condemning himself to an evil to guide others who under your own guidance would eventually come to despise your existence.
>>741884730But I keep seeing tall dudes die in their 50's
>>741885815good, goyim
>>741883721As opposed to being the pawn of 30 jews doing the fusion dance?
>>741883338One of those is not currently a corpse and it's not the one on the right.
>>741886047well yeahit's actually unhealthy to be so tallyour organs aren't meant to be so large
>>741885815The Emperor is a corpse on a throne in 40k, there's nothing left but his bootlickers and loyal dogs.
>>741885119lmao what an asspull

>>741883721>>741886072learn to play your cards right
>>741885063Modern Turks just Anatolian people, refer themselves as Turks, before that they referred themselves as Romans, Greeks, Hittites. Emperor is just Anatolian.
>>741886036Once the webway was secure and Magnus was on the golden throne he would have gotten rid of the Primarchs and Space Marines to make the Imperium 99% human (the remaining 1% are him, Magnus and Malcador)
>>741883338use blank, like sisters of sillencethey can see him for what he is, without all warp and psychic masks and bullshit. he's a very tired old man with unending conviction that will keep on marching until every single atom of his being is destroyed>>741885651Ullanor emps is way diffirent than the one supercharged by billions upon billions of people believing that he's a god, on top of literal alien races adding to it like orc and beliefs that he's a super strong warrior>>741886036I think he meant that emps was building a webway to get humanity away from chaos and starve it, on top of uplifting humanity as a psychic race. n that case, Emps considers himself as a prime tool to acomplish super evolution task. Space marines, priamrchs and others are also jsut tools, created t serve humanity. That's why some traitor legiosn hate humans, like Iron Warriors, because their gruesome loses and suffering is not considered at all
>>741883338Is left achievable natty?
>>741884949Yes .
>>741886156I'm a Chaoschad myself but the Emperor is by all intents and purposes an actual god as of M42

>>741886260there's no support for thatonly proof that SM could get deleted was thudner warrior fate. But thudnerers were simply unstable and unfit for galactic conquestEmps was aware that Our Spiritual Liege was building 20 houses below palace as a retirement homes for primarchs after great crusade. A move that left semi-cunt like Lion speechless. If we consider humanity evolution into full psyekr race, legions of marines and 20 primarchs are not somethign even worth considering to dispose
>>741886545stoooooooooooopthis is so cursed
>>741886036>When did they rebelAbout 200 years into the Emperor's reign. All 200 years of the Emperor's reign had been the Great Crusade, where the Imperium was a military dictatorship in a state of nonstop total war and conquest. But when they won the Crusade, the Emperor demilitarized and put a human civilian government in charge, which slighted the Astartes.The Primarchs themselves rebelled because they had daddy issues towards the Emperor, but the Astartes as a whole went along with it mainly due to resentment from being put on the back burner. It also helps that, before the Astartes were made, the Emperor created the Thunder Warriors as a prototype and then betrayed and slaughtered them all once they'd served their purpose, because, again, he hates transhumans. So their worries that the Emperor would dispose of them too were legitimate. >howGradually and subtly inseminated each legion with rebellious rhetoric through planting "warrior lodges". Then they gathered all loyalist legions in one place and virus-bombed the planet in an extremely cowardly, traitorous, ruthlessly efficient surprise attack. This was the only way they'd even have a chance at going up against the Imperium. Very similar to Pearl Harbor
>>741886275Yeah not to mention the 1000 psykers being fed to him each day.>>741886545Only in your faggot fantasies
>>741886275>Jerking off the corpse emperorAll that's left of him is a husk that barely even knows what he's doing or where he is.

>>741883338it's illusory he's just some frail old man
>>741887125holy fucking cope
>>741886545I hate to indulge your tranny fantasies but in all seriousness, the Emperor is the combination of like 20 psykers and I'm sure at least some of them were women, so the Emperor actually probably is mentally genderfluid and only presents as masculine for the sake of simplicity. Same as God-Emperor Leto II having all of his female ancestors in his head, so he identifies as "Both Mother and Father"
>>741887057It's okay Mortarion, you fucked up yet again and ran like little bitch when daddy came to slap your unruly buttpapa Nurgle still lvoes you
Two fellas could take him out easily

>>741887203>implying a foid could survive psyker fuckery long enough to become proficient
>>741884162The emperor's physical body isn't exactly real and he can change his form to appear differently as he wants. He's been around since the late stone age and a 12 ft tall turk isn't going to blend in that well through history.
>>741887203Don't indulge his tranny fantasies. The Emperor is a straight white male and he hates niggers and trannies.
>>741887203That's only one of the theories of his origin, no? Or was it confirmed somehow?

>>741887582
Sisters of Silence already know the Emperor is just some 5'6 manlet and is projecting his form with psyker powers. 40k obsession with 10 foot or 16 foot tall humans is bordering on IMVU or Second Life tier avatars.
>>741887203The shamans' goal was to save the future by creating the ultimate human, I don't see how female hysteria and general airheadedness can fit into that. But who knows, the warp is basically hysteria, so maybe you are right and they erred for the sake of raw power.
>>741887897blanks aren't immune to psyker fuckery they're just resistant to it
Leave the emperor to me
>>741887949See>>741887284When the warp makes you hyper emotional and explode based on your ability to regulate that, I don't see a woman surviving five years, much less five weeks>>741888005fuck off back to /co/
>>741887897Primarchs are still giants and spess muhreens are significally larger than an average human.
>>741883338>No helmetWhat a fucking idiot!!!The easiest way here is obviously a ranged weapon. Snipe his head with a crossbow from stealth.Or if you are an absolute badass, climb up his back and bash his head into pieces with a melee weapon or jump attack and crush his head.Really more of a puzzle/gimmick boss than an unstoppable juggernaut due to the lack of a helmet.
>>741887448The Emperor is from ancient Anatolia or whatever, he's unironically brown as hellwhich (combined with the fact that he's heavily autistic) means he's browsing /v/ RIGHT NOW

>>741888232Ancient Anatolia was white before turkniggers and camelfuckers invaded the area.
>>741887897I don't think so lad, Alicia Dominica took one look at the Emperor, fell in love, renounced all that she had done before, left the chamber and murdered in the name of his most magnificent, glorious and holy God-Emperor of Mankind. BELOVED BY ALL.
>>741888534Never ask a white supremacist the color of his skin.
>>741887640Blame Frank Herbert, not me
>>741888232non-white for sure, but a lot less brown than modern europoors of burgers

>>741886545That's kind of hot
>>741888232He's not brown, ancient Anatolia, 8k BC is when he was born he was 'Aryan' which is ethnically proto-European. Why do you think all of his son (except Vulkan) are White? Because the Emperor is White. Corvus Corax is said to have the face of the Emperor, said out of all the Primarchs to resemble the Emperor the most, and he's the Whitest fucker in the entire setting.

>>741888862The God-Emperor is very obviously based on... the God-Emperor. And the 40k one being the gestalt consciousness of many psychics is definitely based on the Dune one being the gestalt consciousness of his matrilineal ancestors. It's an interesting speculative fiction concept, Frank Herbert was not trying to push a tranny agenda. The man disowned his gay son

Before being thronefied, the emperor was some super smart/psychic/literally immortal race on terra right?
>>741883338wh40k fags believe in stupid story that this guy could just blend in with normal people lmao
>>741889528>faggotDidn't even say he was a faggot, but now that you mention it, if the old lore that the Emperor was Alexander the Great was true, then he is indeed a faggot as well. Good catch
>>741889954Nice gay historical revision bro. You're checking all the faggot boxes pretty nicely.
>>741889923He's a shapeshifter, anon. The "Last Church on Terra" story actually shows his default normie disguise that he used for the majority of his existence pre-Imperium
>>741889890No, he was a powerful but normal human.
>>741889890He is the amalgamation of the strongest of terra's prehistoric psykers. Coincidentally, this also made him immortal. As in regenerates from nothing immortal. For all intents and purposes, he is a living god.
>>741889796I’m fairly certain it’s a discord troon.

There are only a couple of people who get the luxury of seeing his mummified ass for half a second and even then, the brainwashing is so strong you will whole heartingly believe in the double speak despite what you are clearly seeing with your own two eyes.
>>741890336imagine the sick drifts she could pull in that thing
>>741883338Give me an unlikely young hero, his 2~4 companions and a 40 hour main campaign and I'll kill your Godlike entity, whatever it is.I doubt the equivalent of Big E would even be the final boss of an RPG based on the WH40K mythos though. That'd probably be something like the Nightbringer, or perhaps spme sort of Chaos God amalgam that just got finished fucking over Abaddon or something
>>741890336Classic
>>741890502all of the lore is propaganda for whoever whenever if you want to be a bitch like that
>>741890302I hate that story because the Emperor makes a retarded pun. The Emperor says some reddit atheist shit, Uriah offers him wine, and then the Emperor says "now that's one spirit I can get behind". Wine isn't a spirit you IDIOT. Spirits are liquor, the term exists specifically to distinguish it from wine and beer. GAH
>>741890582The emperor made the code to his lab the looney toons knock he’s a troll like that
>>741886987Of all the primarchs, Lorgar is the most fitting to be a girl
>>741890849>everything bad is caused by a hysterical woman Yep
>>741890849stooooooooplorgar was right in the end anywayboth the imperium and chaos follow his doctrines
>>741885445I wouldnt want to go past primaris. You end up looking like a coneheaded freak or gorilla.
>>741883952>>741884042I can't imagine being this gay. Like isn't there some Farmville post on Facebook you trannies could fuck off back too?
>>741890579it basically is. nearly everything the imperium spits out is complete bullshit to some degree. I remember reading somewhere that guardsmen are taught that the tau have tissue paper thin flesh, bones as brittle as Styrofoam and are basically both blind and deaf and yet can also absolutely wreck you in a fight somehow in a million different ways just with their bare hands despite not knowing how to fight and can't actually do any harm to you.
>>741883338He already is beaten, he's a barely-alive skeleton existing solely to keep demons at bay and allow humanity to warp around the cosmos.
>>741890961Imagine if Lorgar discovered the Catheric (Catholic) faith. Now THAT would shake things up.
>>741888934>>741888943it's the same people
>>741891116the guardsmen handbook, you fucking mongoloid
>>741883768Is it a mystery? Isn't he the souls of 100 psyker humans that entered the warp and then merged and then escaped the warp as a single entity with warp powers?
>>741891178lol, no
>>741891201No, that's old canon, before Perpetuals were even a thing. Nowadays he isn't even the oldest of the lot. Ollanius Pius was older.>>741891170And speaking of, Ollanius also became Christian, and remained such until his death, so I guess Abnett is still pushing his own take on the Emperor.
>>741891170>worshiping catheters Look I have a sounding fetish too but come on
>>741891178they look kinda similar sometimes but no.
>>741891328>Ollanius Piuswhat a retarded fucking retcon
The emperor is a wojack enjoyer?
>>741891328>Abnett is still pushing his own take on the Emperorqrd?
>>74188395240K is absolutely /v/ related now. It's probably the single most prominent IP in videogames at this point actually. There's been about 20 Warhammer games released in the last 10 years alone and they cover a massive number of genres.Can you name any other franchise IP with as many frequent releases as Warhammer? I don't think you could. Warhammer is a multimedia franchise and videogames are a huge part of it.
>>741891328don't remind meit wasn't the chaos gods who fucked everything upit was karen taking the kids
>>741890582Yeah writers can only write characters as smart as they are, and emps is supposed to be galaxy-brain..
>>741891629don't remind me how universal this shit is
>>741891503There's nothing wrong with Erda as a character. It filled in one of the gaps in the lore - who provided the other half of the genetic material required to create the Primarchs.>>741891457Abnett keeps insinuating throughout the novels he writes, especially the Horus Heresy ones, that God, the Christian one, is using the God-Emperor worship to carry out his own plans.You get this as soon as "Horus Rising." The prayer used to banish a Demon is the exact same one spoken in "The Last Church" only with "Emperor" replacing "God."
>>741891740HAHAHAHAHAHAno
>>741883338>how do you even beat this?nerve gas
>>741891328I remember a moment, in Saturnine I think, where Ollanius talks with a guardsman and he says something like "with all this shit around you gotta believe in something or it's all pointless" which is a fair point I'd say.
>>741884162He's actually just a futurama jar head with a dark age of tech antigravity neck connector. it's how he appears to be a dozen different heights and sizes to a dozen different people.
>>741892158yupyou can find fault with literally anythingbut if you don't believe in anything, you don't have anything to begin with
>>741891740>it filled a gap in the lore, therefore all the horrible shit about her as a character was good actuallywhat kind of fucking retard take is this dude holy shit
>>741889609kek
First Edition was the coolest.Crow beak armour, robots, didn't go full retard with the Horus Hersey and all the primarchs. Space marines were just regular cops ripping off Judge Dredd. Red Tyranids, squats, frog people.
>>741883338Well, first I would start with the guard. He seems easier to beat and would only serve as a distraction if I tried to fight the emperor of mankind first.
>>741892315likely the same tranny saying emps was a troon
>>741891268>>741891401they are
>>741892158why doesn't he just believe in the emperor then? or whoever else? what an awful justification for his faith
>>741883338Warhammer 40k movie when?I think the universe is cool as shit
>>741892492author's retarded pet
Not. Fucking. Vidya.
>>741886156The dude is basically doing nonstop psycher training for the past 10 millenia. If he told someone to hold his beer and got off the golden throne for a second, he would devastate literally anything.
Bros, I want to get into 40k lore because I like the designswhat books should I read?
Ok, but what about a warhammer fantasy rpg?
>>741892492>>741892559>why doesn't he just believe in the emperor then?He LITERALLY lived through Biblical events. He's the guy who destroyed the Tower of Babel (which the Emperor wanted to preserve, by the way).Abnett essentially uses him as confirmation for what he already hinted at multiple times throughout various novels - that God is a real entity in that setting.>>741892398Are you capable of being in a single thread without thinking about transsexuals?
>>741892806Look up the Terminus Decree.
I enjoyed the both the boltgun 2 and warhammer survivors demos and I'm hoping the games release before DoW4 takes over my life.>>741893189I'm starting to think Owlcat isn't into the idea and idk who else would at this point
>>741883338>Emperor: I am not a God>Also, the Emperor>Presents himself as literal fucking golden giant that radiates light and performs actions that are just straight up miracles. Not even using it as superform for when shit hits the fan, this is his default, go-to, form he uses to walk around in.
>>741892950Start with the codexes first and foremost. From there it's an immediate decline in quality to BL but at least you'll have an idea what faction/characters you want to start BL with
>>741892806>he would devastate literally anything.He's sitting on a hole in the warp and if he ever got off the throne terra would be the center of a new eye of terror.
>>741892806The Emperor would die and a warp rift would consume Terra and possible Mars.
i wanted to make a warhammer "inspired" animated movie following the royal lineage of earth fighting against the infernal invading forces of the not-warpit would start with the heir and his brother fighting as kids with the former hurting the other and making him cryafter a series of battles, the heir apparent would be lost to the warp and seen facing off with a demon army alonethe after credits scene would be him walking away, bloody and hurt, but every one of them deadout of rations and no water, the screen would fade out before he began eating the demons in the third, the brother would end up in the warp and facing down a horde of demons himself before they all start running, absolutely fucking terrified and screaming in fearit's the heir apparent, corrupted and maddened but strong as all fucking hellhe'd plead throughout the fight for him to remember to no avail before finally fighting back for real
>>741893238that's retardedtranny retard
>>741887671You're living in a fantasy world inside your head, these cartoon characters are not real. They can't wipe that anon from existence... You sad little man...
Reminder to all of you, especially those of you who discuss the emperor’s divinity and the overwhelming proof in favor of that, that lorgar was right, he was the only one who saw what humanity truly needed (a god of their own to stand up to chaos). His lectitio divinitatum stands at the core of the imperial faith. Praise Lorgar, best son of the emperor. Forgive us Lorgar, for being autistic twats and not listening
>>741893863Lorgar is a miserable faggot in hell writing shit nobody cares about
>>741893610the heir would finally remember, flashing back to that childhood fight, and give his crying brother enough time to plunge the not-power sword into his chesthe would cradle him in his arms and the chorus would coalesce to become his unvocalized horrified, heart-broken screamending would be him giving a speech to his men on earth, all looking as traumizitized as he was, about the dangers of hell they all need to guards against until the end of time
>>741893403>shows up to your battlefield>descends from the sky on a golden chariot shaped like an eagle>literally impossible to look upon due to massive golden halo>flowers grow in his footsteps>heals your tank by touching it>also cures your space cancer>"I am not a god">refuses to elaborate >flies away without a spaceship
>>741883338Uriah died so the Emperor could fly.
>>741893403>>741894012Throw in the fact that he HEALS A MACHINE SPIRIT in the "Mechanicum" novel.
>>741894085ahtech psykery
Idk about warhammer lore but judging from the picture1. headshot snipe him2. poison gas because I assume he breathes3. some kind of electric weapon to fry him in his metal armor
you do realize it's not actually a machine spirit, right?in the case of cogitators and programmable devices, it's codein the case of all mechanical devices, it's them functioning right
>>7418833386ft is tall for the average man too
>>741894246Sometimes machine spirits are fancy talk for a normal computer program, sometimes they are legitimate psychic phenomenon that actually exist inside of machines brought to life by the beliefs of the Imperium.
emperor doesn't actually look like that tho
>>741883338Planet blowing weapons are dime a dozen.Its also stupid how large concentrations of superhumans on one place aren't getting nuked to shit since their resource costs simply makes their destruction a net win for the enemy.
>>741894246>you do realize it's not actually a machine spirit, right?heretek post
>>741884636Man, sounds like a good setting for a tabletop wargame.
>>741883338Like 15 of the little dudes could just grab onto the big dudes limbs and there's not much he could do while one or two of the little dudes climb up him like a tree to peck his eyes out like vultures. Ape strong together.
>>741894487your omnissiah is a mechanical star god, you outdated piece of shit

>>741893961Sure thing corax
>>741894246>you do realize it's not actually a machine spirit, right?wrong - it IS a machine spirit because the humans and cogboys believe it to be thus. it's 40k warpshit, belief begets warp presence and warp presence manifests in realityyour plasma gun WILL be good to you if you are nice to your plasma gun
>>741883952
>>741894654that's not how that worksthat's just cope
>>741888232>he's browsing /v/ RIGHT NOWI am.
>>741886227Thats rogue trader right? Ive been thinking of getting it when its on sale but i dont know if any of the DLC is worth it.
>>741883338He's actually not that tall.Canonically he looks like a regular human. The giant size, the glowing halo, the golden armor and all that stuff is just how people perceive him, but it's not what he lookes like.
>>741893863Lorgar is hiding from chadvus chadvax who will rape him the moment he steps outside
>>741894246They're ai. But are they? Titans merge with Princeps and they have to bond or the Titan won't function. Same with ships they require merging in order to function. Their 'machine spirits' must be placated. They do feel pain, anger, joy, I remember reading how the machine spirit of a Titan would blare and blast it's war horns in joy after ENGINE KILL unprompted by it's crew.

>>741894863need daemon primarchs so my boy roboute can kick their ass
>>741892950Depends on what you’re looking for. The codex’s and stuff provide good overviews for various factions and stuff like imperial armor are good too. Some good stuff as an introduction to the setting would be series like Ciaphas Cain or Eisenhorn
>>741894732We don't know for sure what he looks like. Sisters of Silence do see him as a normal dude, but the Emperor is stronk enough to outpsyker their null field and generally appears to people as they expect him to be. For all we know, Sisters viewing him as "just some unimpressive guy" is just how he appears to them using the glamour since they would expect to see just some guy.
>>741894950at least he needed a bullshit emperor possessed power up for that
>>741892950>I like the designsThe Infinite and the Divine

>>741883338why does he have a s-oyjak as a kneeguard?
>>741894918No war in history has ever been decided by a 1v1 because everyone implicitly understands how retarded that would be. Humans are social creatures, and the most powerful humans in history weren't the physically strongest but the most socially adept.

>>741895872The vast majority of humans in the galaxy are generally pretty normal, perhaps with a few augmetic prosthetics.There are even planets that are "normal". They don't tend to get featured in stories because the setting is centered around grimdark warfare, but every now and then a story is told involving a nice planet that quickly goes to shit. In the Plague Wars books, the forces of Nurgle infest an Agricultural World called Iax that was a nice paradise-esque planet that treated guardsmen with PTSD before it got btfo by Chaos.
>>741895886a big enough ork can beat up anything
>>741886545this is canon>I have been his Sigillite long enough to know that he is aware of how he looks. He so detests this unfortunate aspect: a golden king, idle upon a golden throne. He dislikes seeming to be the very thing he has emphatically opposed. I have always known him to be very deliberate in his presentation. Over the millennia, he has worn many masks, each suitable to the task at hand. His mind, his greatest gift, allows him significant flexibility in such things. He has appeared as male or female, or neither, as child or elder, peasant or king, magician or fool. He has been an entire cartomantic arcana, for the Master of Mankind is also a master of disguise. He has performed all of these roles well, with delicacy. He has been humble when humility was needed, gentle when softness was the best device, sly, amiable, reassuring, commanding, caring. He has been terrible when terror was the only recourse, and sometimes meek in order to inherit the Earth. He has been whomever and whatever it has been necessary to be. No one has ever seen his true face, or learned his true name.
>>741887203>>741887495Riddle me this: How could a colossally powerful amalgamate soul made up of the deceased remnants of colossally powerful psykers of both sexes be "born in the wrong body"? Furthermore, how and why could the Emperor ever be "trans" when he is a shapeshifter? If trannies could shapeshift they wouldn't be trans at all because their gender is already, by definition, uniquely malleable. It's like calling the Changeling trans: Retarded. Checkmate.

>>741891328>And speaking of, Ollanius also became Christian, and remained such until his death,Retconned. Ollanius Pius reveals in the final Siege of Terra books that he never believed in Jesus and only wears a cross to honor his dead Catholic wife.
>>741883338The God Emperor failed to foresee Erda having a woman moment. That is how you defeat the Emperor because even he does not understand how women think.>In Warhammer 40K, the closest thing to a biological mother for the Primarchs is Erda, an ancient, immortal being known as a Perpetual. She contributed her rare gene-stock alongside the Emperor to create the 20 Primarchs. Realizing the Emperor intended to use their sons as emotionless weapons of conquest, Erda felt maternal affection for them. To save them, she created a warp vortex that scattered the Primarchs across the galaxy.
>>741896534yup
>>741896649>everything went wrong because of womentale as old as time
>>741891740>that bitch somehow had the genetic material of mongols, niggers, bongs, redniggers, palewhite niggers and specially bald retards inside her while big E was just effectively just a neolithic turkso microchimerism from male partner does in fact stay inside the bitch. Only way to explain the bullshit diversity of big E's son...Before that people just assumed he took genetic material from exceptional humans and stuff, not that a single bitch gave them the other half
>>741891740So the Emps is just another Jesus and the book of revelation describes the warp attacking Earth, more or less. Must be weird walking around as a(n immortal) normal ass dude with bullets getting out of your way and everybody kneeling because God is along for the ride.A bit like the Preacher comics.

Where can I read the earliest 40k lore? I'm interested in seeing what it was like in the 80's.
>>741897185You can easily find the rogue trader book online
>>741897263But where?
>>741883338Stab him in the dick repeatedly.
>>741895872>Are there like...regular, normal sized humans who just live normal lifesIn places you'll rarely actually see or hear anything about in-setting until there's an Ork invasion or something. That's the irony of 40k: The people who do live decent lives just don't get mentioned.Agri-worlds USED to be a good thing to point at before that one cunt author decided to retcon them into toxic crop stripmines staffed by servitors. Don't ask too many questions about the logistics of perfectly positioned identical planets turned into a farm that will inevitably reduce the world to a barren husk unfit for use by anyone though, you might have a stroke.
>>741885503there was jaq draco who successfully penetrated palace security and gained an audience which the emperor obliged, and the experience rendered him briefly comatose but not obliterated
>>741897162He says he appreciates Jesus's teachings, particularly in contrast to how brutal the galaxy is, but says he doesn't believe that Christ was divine.
>>741897406>but says he doesn't believe that Christ was divine.A lot of early Christians also did not thin Christ was literally the Son of God, so that doesn't exactly disqualify him desu
>>741897406Which page was that on? Methinks you're making shit up.
Is the Imperium, who is so hell-bent on preserving the human race, seriously led to believe that the 14 foot giant and his army of GMO test-tube babies are the same as joe-schmoe?They seem like a different race entirely(guy who rarely consumes 40k btw)
>>741897543I cannot find an excerpt of the passage or cite the page (for I am an audiobook chad) but it occurs near the end of The End and the Death Volume II.
i like the new design for custodes
>>741897680Humanity went about 10,000 years never actually seeing the Emperor or the Primarchs. They might as well be God and his Angels in a literal sense to most people. The Imperial Cult came into existence after the Emperor was mortally wounded and put on life support, so the religion is only 10k years old in the first place.There are some more radical factions among the Inquisition and Sisters of Battle that consider Space Marines dangerous abhumans, not just because of their physical form but also because of the Horus Heresy that caused half of all Space Marines to go buttfucking crazy.
>>741897680They are not led to believe that. The astartes are essentially a different race and some factions consider them to be abhumans. The Emperor loves humanity more than his roided up creations and had every intention of getting rid of them eventually in favor of humans
>>741897796I have it open on my computer, and there's literally nothing even somewhat similar to what you're saying.
>>741885124He isn't racist, that would mean that the aliens are the same species as us. A crocodile is or sea star shares more DNA with us than a Tau.
>>741897850>he Emperor loves humanity more than his roided up creations and had every intention of getting rid of them eventually in favor of humansThis was 100% true for the Thunder Warriors, who got slaughtered, but the Space Marines were intended to be a sort of halfway point between humans and Thunder Warriors. The Emperor hoped the Primarchs could become just rulers and lead humanity into a golden age in the same way Geppetto hoped Pinocchio could become a real boy. It just didn't really work out.
>>741897828>The Imperial Cult came into existence after the Emperor was mortally wounded and put on life support, so the religion is only 10k years old in the first place.That's wrong. In "Horus Rising", which takes place before the Heresy is even close to starting, the Cult of the Divine Emperor is already something widespread, with their prayers being capable of banishing demons.Remember - time does not work in the Warp. If the God-Emperor exists in the 41st Millenium, it means he always has existed within the Warp.
>>741897890Then copy and paste what he says about his wife, his necklace and the teachings of Christ, and I will concede that I am wrong if I misremembered.Don't think I am though.
>>741897386>Don't ask too many questions about the logistics of perfectly positioned identical planets turned into a farm that will inevitably reduce the world to a barren husk unfit for use by anyone thoughbut that's the point. it's grimdark.yes, the imperium is also ruining countless other worlds in its insatiable quest for more food and more raw materials. yes, it's ruinously unsustainable. that's the point.>>741897680>They seem like a different race entirelythey pretty much are, the space marines don't even reproduce like normal humans. being willfully blind to the contradictions is, see above, part of the point. shit sucks in 40k, none of it makes sense when you stop to think. you're not supposed to stop and think, that's heresy.
>>741889796hmm where should you discuss your tabletop wargaming miniature collecting "Hobby">dedicated board for your hobbyor>video games boardhmmmm >crying that there are too many video game threads on the video game boardHMMMM really makes you think
>>741898021The Imperial Cult as an institution isn't exactly the same as all Emperor worship. Sigismund, Lorgar, the Anchorite, and the Word Bearers (plus the worlds they conquered) in general all believed the Emperor was a God but were mocked or even punished for it in the latter cases
>>741898136>implying 40k isn't videogames
>>741898129>yes, it's ruinously unsustainable. that's the point.Except it wasn't the point in that context until one author decided to shit on the chuds who pointed at Agri-Worlds as relatively decent places to live. It's not just unsustainable, it's impossible. The galaxy is not an infinitely large place, and burning out a farm world in a couple thousand years would not have been sustainable enough to make it to M42. It's not grimdark it's just absurd.
>>741892950the first book of inquisition war is unironically one of the better books ive ever read, and the rest of the trilogy is good enough to finish the story arc
>>741898278>complaining about absurdity>in 40k, the setting made to be as absurd as possibleremember that space marines shoot full-auto rocket launchers and they have two hearts and three lungs. the absurdity is the appeal.>The galaxy is not an infinitely large placeyes it is, you can just keep making up new planets as you go.
>>741898079He reaches out and grabs the little golden Catheric symbol strung aroundOll’s throat.‘This?’ he asks, almost shaking with anger. ‘Just this? You thought somedivine providence was going to direct you, when the time came?’‘Please let go of that, John.’‘Is it true?’ asks John, aghast.‘Let it go,’ says Oll quietly.‘Trooper Persson believes in god,’ says Graft. ‘This I have recorded abouthim. He is pious. He cherishes a private faith in–’‘Have you been waiting for some god to intervene?’ asks Katt.The disappointment is visible on their faces, even in the gloom.‘They just trusted you,’ says Actae. She makes no effort to disguise hercontempt. ‘Have you suborned us into some personal act of spiritual–’‘No,’ says Oll. ‘What I believe is my business. I’m not asking you tobelieve in anything. I never have. Any of you.’‘But your faith is guiding you?’ asks Katt. Those dark eyes fix Oll.John knows that, of all of them, she’s the one Oll won’t lie to. He watchesas his old friend nods.LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU CLAIMED
>>741898456i once heard someone describe that book as a random adventuring party shoehorned in as perspective characters, and passages like this make me understand why.
How did the Emperor hide his stature? Even if he was a 7'0 he'd get insane looks.Combined with his super intelligence and psyker powers humanity would have flocked to him as their main leader even if he chose to hide and stay in the sidelines.
>>741898453>complaining about absurdityYes Anon I expect better from Black Library novels.>yes it is, you can just keep making up new planets as you go.That's called an asspull. Yeah you can say:>Conveniently the Imperium found 200 systems all with identical worlds in identical positions relative to their identical stars with identically safe conditions so the Mechanicus could identically terraform them into identical stripfarms for an identical period of time! :)))) It's still highly gay and lame.
>>741883952Good work ethic, but I'd really wish you'd redirect this effort into other less-topically-relevant threads
By shooting him.
>>741891459>its prominent because they keep churning out 40k slopKek let me know when an actually good 40k game comes out
he had some sort of glamour that made him look like that iirc
>>741891069>grown ass man painting figurines and dolls calling anyone a trannyLmaooo
>>741898632He's a normal sized dude who projects himself to be taller with psychic powers
>>741898986>grown ass man painting figurinesNTA, but if you have contempt for the only reason anyone can enjoy 40k in the first place I think you may be in the wrong thread.
>>741898993Even if he's not wearing armour he's still 10ft+ tallGames Workshop fucked up his stature, even if he's the amalgamation of a bunch of old shamans he should have been built like a basketball centerThen as he trudged along across millennia he perfects genetic manipulation, experiments on himself during humanity's technological peak and that's why he's 20ft now and wants to replicate it en masse for his own armies
>>741886036>That's genuinely interesting though condemning himself to an evil to guide others who under your own guidance would eventually come to despise your existence.It's just a riff on god emperor of dune.
>>741898986>grown ass man painting figurines and dolls
>>741898456Found it.
>>741899460>claims he doesn't believe>then goes on to say how faith is something he can not possibly let go ofThere are no atheists in a foxhole.
>>741899748>There are no atheists in a foxhole.an unfortunate truth innit? even as a godless heathen, i don't want to believe that consciousness and existence just...ends, when bodily functions stop. that's dreadfully boring innit? more fun to believe in something, anything, and hope it's true.
>>741899840I don't know if I'd call it unfortunate. Look at Ollanius, he says he does not believe in Cathericism but admits his mind, even his soul, is inextricably bound to faith. He pines for kindness, for philanthropy and mercy. He does this even in a future where Christ never came back and Christianity is effectively dead both in the sense that its priests are gone and its followers, like his wife, have passed away. I have no doubt in my mind Ollanius is a faithful man even if he denies belief in one religion or another.
>>741895409>>741895417>AlexanderUoh
>>741883338Who cleans his armor?
>>741890502Nobody knows what the Emperor looks like, he psychically projects how he wants people to perceive him, no one has actually seen his true form
>>741900531Probably Tech-priests, and they practically jack off while they're doing it. Or they would if they hadn't removed their dong 200 years ago.
>>741898008He had plans on culling the astartes too eventually, as well as the primarchs. He also hoped someday that humanity would outgrow the need for the Emperor of Mankind, as well. That was his ultimate goal
>>741900257>and Christianity is effectively dead both in the sense that its priests are gone and its followers, like his wife, have passed away.That's not true though. Both "Legion" and "Know No Fear" both confirm there are Catherics, some hidden, while others practicing openly and being just viewed as weirdos (Ultramar).Then there's the fact "Horus Rising" outright shows the Cult of the Emperor uses Catheric prayers with "God" switched to "Emperor", somewhat hinting they might've pulled a "Japanese Christians" manoeuvre and infiltrated a different cult.
>>741897850>>741898008>>741900930Imagine falling for these chaos memes 10k years after the Heresy
>>741899176>>741898993We actually know what he looks like in reality, when not using his psychic powers to shift how people view him - like Lorgar without the tatoos and with hair.
>>741901337That's what I mean by "effectively" dead. Jesus didn't come back to save them. The Kingdom of God didn't manifest. Cathericism was just quietly bleeding out.>>741901362I am fully confident that the Emperor really hadn't decided what he was going to do about the Space Marines or Primarchs. On the one hand he did view them as tools, but there are very blatant and obvious examples of the Emperor having genuine affection for his "sons." Granted this was, at best, schizophrenic behavior from him.
>>741885467Frankly I've always found the Luna Wolves to be more interesting, theyve also got a cooler name. In general though a lot of the legions before their dads showed up seemed more interesting, the War Hounds being another example
>>741901674>I am fully confident that the Emperor really hadn't decided what he was going to do about the Space Marines or Primarchs.You should also ask "which Emperor" you're talking about?>The immortal Perpetual running the Empire.>The God-Emperor existing in the Warp.>The Dark King.Then throw in Abnett's pet theory of "God is somehow possessing/disguising himself as the God-Emperor."
>>741889267From memory tau do a different thing where they essentially train an AI off of a past commander so he can keep giving advice after he dies.I don't think any other writers explored this but they could combine them into a super AI based on all their past great leaders.
>>741891740Big E being a christ analogue would make the entire setting more kino, as any Christian euphemism in storytelling does
>>741889267>why doesn't the Tau or Eldar do that thenThat's pretty much what Eldar Exarchs do. Also the Infinity Circuit in general.
>>741901674They were going to protect humanity, not its equals, not its superiors but protectors of man against cosmic horrors. >>741901842Fuck off with this nulore shit.
>>741901749>War HoundsThey were just a slightly less crazy World Eaters. I really wish they made them the complete opposite to illustrate how far they fell when they implanted the Nails. The way they are written it's like they were always pretty far gone. They did a much better with the Blood Angels in this regard.
>>741896767Retard, every single Primarch is a white man. Vulkan has LITERALLY black skin due to Nocturn's radiation - he wasn't born like that. Jaghatai Khan is also supposed to be a whitey, one adopted into a different culture, but for some reason he's often depicted as Asian.
>>741885304It wasn't the Anathame that made him turn to chaos, it was the ritual performed by the chaos worshippers that showed him "the future" to deceive him.
>>741885304>Sure thing buddy, thats why he didnt do any of these things on Terra.he was betrayed by his own primarchs, the only thing that could hurt him was his own blood
>>741885304>>741902131Horus went insane because he saw a truth. A truth, not the truth, because the truth is multifaceted and exists beyond his ability to objectively view the situation. That's the trouble with Chaos in general: Saying they are the true masters of the cosmos and the greatest power in the universe is 100% true. Telling them to go fuck themselves and die is denial of reality. But therein lies the power of the human mind and spirit: Reality can, in fact, be told to fuck itself and die.
>>741889609somebody post the femboy stilt skitarii image
>>741900257>Christ never came backI mean the Bible does literally say we will never know the time and place He will return. In 40k it's just taking a long while
>>741896767>>741902124Just be happy Salamanders being literally jet black even got to stay in the lore. That shit got retconned out of World of Darkness/Vampire the Masquerade because it was the "clan flaw" of the Assamites/Banu Haqim Muslim vampires and it was politically incorrect or something.
>>741902041>nuloreThe Emperor being a potential Fifth Chaos God isn't nulore, retard.
>>741898129>but that's the point. it's grimdarkno, its retardedGrimdark is keeping hundreds of millions of farmers across dozens of worlds in technological/societal stasis for millennia so that you can safely tax as much of their produce as possible with no fear of rebellion in order to feed a singular hive worldRetarded pumping smog into a fucking agri-world instead of doing that in the vertical farms of a hiveAlgae blooms or the destruction of native flora and fauna that might've been useful or beautiful for more grox pens is appropriate grimdark,saying that agri-worlds are fucking disposable after a hundred years when they're the foundation of the entire imperium is retarded
>>741902554If he did come back he would have no followers. Everyone would be like "who the fuck is this guy?" and he'd be killed by the Inquisition for heresy. Would probably make a lot more sense for him to appear when he's still got a couple billion worshippers left
>>741896767we all had herbut the Emperor had CHILDREN with her
>>741901674>Granted this was, at best, schizophrenic behavior from him.If we're applying realism at all then even an immortal being will just become entire different people every few hundred to couple thousand years
>empire of trillions>millions of worldsso you hear about the shit happening on a few dozen or hundreds of them
so why do both chaos and the imperium still maintain kayfabe over the two missing primarchs
>>741884825based I like to imagine the preferred physical form of the tyranid hive mind is a tall hot girl with superhuman abilities. After realizing the Milky way cannot be conquered through conventional warfare without costing more biomass than they would gain, the hive mind decides to take care of it personally. She travels to the homeworlds of each of the major factions and crushes their leadership with her bare hands. In a panic, the imperium throws all of its resources into reviving the emperor no matter the cost or consequences. He is revived more powerful than before but she still beats him without even having to exert herself. Then I, an innocent, helpless bystander, must beg for her mercy. She makes me her slave for eternity and reveals she's a futanari. Then we lived happily ever after.
>>741903050>trillionsIt's probably quintillions of people.
>>741902621looool
>>741903092xenos got both of them and that's really fucking embarassing even for a chaosfag

>>741885124This might be true, but horus still put him in life support for 10’000 + years before being uncreated
>>741903603Steel Legion waifu.
>>741889369>Tau lack soulsThey don't lack souls, they just have relatively tiny ones compared to everyone else, and it might just as well be because they're such a young immature race. Also semi-recently a tau-shaped warp entity has been spotted.
>>741883338ooops, updated your picture to a more recent versionit shouldn't be too hard to beat this
>>741885265If he hadn’t been such a dick to perturabo

>>741903753because of human followers of the greater good
>>741903849Both of them got their brains hijacked by the Rangdan and the Imperium was forced to put them down during the resulting Xenocides. It was the single biggest disaster if the Crusadw up until the Heresy happened.
>>741896186Wut about a bigger ork?checkmate atheist
>>741883338Beat what?Looks like a speck of dust.Erase its star or something.
>>741903753>Also semi-recently a tau-shaped warp entity has been spotted.It's inly shaped like the Tau because the ones who belueve in it associate the Greater Good with the Tau. None of the Tau themselves belueve in it.

>>741904084>the race that's already dead and will eventually die out long before any other thinks they'll survive
>>741904272>and will eventually die out long before any otherHey now, they're definitely outliving the Eldar.
>>741894732He uses glamor to make himself look bigger, combined with the fact his power armor is practically a vehicle to make him as big as the primarchs are naturally. Yes, every time Big E makes an appearance in it, he's basically on stilts.
>>741884890Corpse sits on chairChair is 5G towerCorpse makes sure imperium gets signalSacrifices keep the bars up.
If the tau are so young why are they so advanced? Did they get uplifted by an older race or find old tech?
>>741904498All evidence points towards Eldar fuckery, but we don't know when or why, or even which Eldar in particular.
>>741886918Pretty sure without BIG E astropathic voyages are impossible and all warpships get stranded and lost. Fuck knows how other factions do it by the way. Especially Tau who dont even have any psykers like the imp do. Or Nids. Or ‘crons.
>>741886179its consistent with 40k lorethe emperor is not truly dead, his psychic presence is anchored on the throne by his body which is preserved by the machines it is hooked up to
>>741904420well yeahthe eldar are already deadthey don't even have enough soul stones to put in their craftworlds, which are being blown the fuck up by humans, to save thesmselves from the chaos god that will one shot them if they even say her name
>>741904491poifect
>>741904554That theory falls flat the moment you remember Eldar are fucking stupid and could never pull off something like that
>>741904558there are multiple artificial astropathic beacons in the lore, but humanity doesnt have the technology to make them, only hijack them
>>741888232>brown as hell idk what the obsession is with people who type like this faggot with trying to constantly dunk on White people at any chance. What do you gain from it? Is it just some form of advanced cope because you are brown yourself or is it some weird culturally outdated pressure release thing for having White guilt over perceived wrongdoings?
>>741904272Bro most of the nekrons haven't even waken up yet. Humans are doomed to be devoured by Tyrannids. If the nekrons lose, they'll take the whole galaxy with them.
>>741903650At least Vampire didn't get fucked up as much as Werewolf did. Cold comfort.
>>741895872Of course, but they're not relevant to the setting's themes. It's like writing a story about Madagascar in WWI.
>>741889195>sorry for what?
>>741884825>>741903159Females just aren't cool. Sorry coombrains.
>>741904932>Humans are doomed to be devoured by Tyrannids.no, some tyrranid overmind will appear and Robot will kill it and all the tyranids will scatter into a non-apocalyptic but still-threatening constant random presence
>>741904027As far as I can find there's nothing that confirms this or even that they're dead. Their legions were absorbed into the ultramarines afaik but the primarchs remain unaccounted for which makes me suspect GW has them on ice for later.
>>741889254Im sure his entire head and skull shape retained the exact same shape between life and death
>>741904901>constantly dunk on White people at any chance.dunno what got you so triggered about that post but lel

>>741905112One of the Primarchs nearly names them when talking to Malcador and gets blasted for it, can't remember if it was Dorn or Russ, but the Rangdan Xenocides are specifically the conflict where the two died

>>741905112The missing primarchs are for /yourdudes/ and will never be revealed

Gay workslop faggots are the worst. What does this retarded thread have to do with video games??
>>741905349It was Horus. He starts to speak either one of their names, or just about them in general and Malcador turbo stuns him with the Force.
>>741896538I like the theory that posits the Emperor was Saint George in life and the Last Church was his own Horus Heresy where he attempted to decouple humanity from God after Big G did nothing to prevent the Cybernetic Revolt. Pius saying he never believed was cope because both him and the Emperor felt burnt out by how inhuman the Monad was in dealing with the concerns of the Materium; He can't be perfect in their eyes if He passively sits around waiting for people to discover and embrace Him in a galaxy that moves faster than light, therefore he cannot be the God they crave. Priests of Mars implies He does exist and does uniquely favor humanity, acting as mysteriously as ever.
>>741905538That was in M30. He's a fuckload more powerful now.
>>741905371he was born ages before something resembling a greek identity even existedhe's armenian
>>741892950Literally just find the good wiki and read that
>>741893863I always thought that if Big E said ‘its okay to worship me as a god’ or something along those lines, the entire crisis could’ve been averted
>>741884553he can turn invisible in every sense if he wants to, even malcador and the primarchs struggled to notice him if he was feeling like sneaking around for whatever reason
>>741904498It's because they believe in science, diversity, and progress.
>>741905979Big E is too much of a fedora tipper to do that. Though I like to think that if he were to get up and walk around in 40k, raw pragmatism would cause him to embrace the power boost from being worshipped so that he could bitch slap Chaos.
>>741905979>>741906142GW can't hire good writers

>>741904498It's the biggest mystery of their lore. They were primitive tribes at war with each other then one day out of the blue ethereals showed up to every tribe at the same time and instantly united them all. They then speedran the tech tree and became a space faring race with each tribe becoming one of the castes of the new tau empire.
>>741905498There are pages and pages and pages and pages in old codexes and rulebooks and white dwarf issues supporting your dudes. But that anon is still wrong as the missing primarchs are not missing for that reason and pretty sure it's been confirmed.

>>741901978The Ad. Mech tries to peddle him as this even though the majority of them would rather he disappear if it wasn't for the fact he was holding together space travel, but he's actually a Lucifer analogue, and might retroactively be the figure Christ was referring to in the 40k 'verse. The Emperor Is the Morning Star which humanity uses as a beacon, both literally in the Astronomican, and figuratively in the hope he gives them.
