The emperors chosen Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 a new theory for the eight pointed star of chaos, the eight points could represent the eight primarchs that turned, while the middle could be Horus, just saying.

Karganeth Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well the eight pointed star of chaos was in dungeons and dragons and all that old stuff.. and i think it was in Warhammer fantasy before 40k... anyway your theory sounds alot more logical.

Roultox Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The eight pointed star can be seen in 2nd edition and rogue trader art along side loyalist armies. Back when Space Marines and Imperial Guard didnt exist, and the forces of the Imperium were called "The Imperial Army". Predates 30k actually, to the time of the great crusades. The Eight Pointed star unfortunately does not really support your theory because of the timeline it existed before the heresy. If the future-seeing psykers or Tzeentch had a hand in it would make it more likely, though I find that highly unlikely. Evidence elsewhere I believe in 3.0 chaos codex that each direction of the "Undivided" Icon represented north, east, south and west winds. Each wind being "A Wind of Chaos", and they were called the Wind of Change, The Wind of Decay, and I forget what the other two were called that represented the other two major gods. It was hinted elsewhere that the final four directions on the icon represented minor gods, unofficially though like Malal, and three other gods in old old fluff that has been long since abandoned. Now the icon is called Icon of Chaos Glory, perhaps in response to the icon being copyright infingement from the original fella who made the icon giving Games Workshop issues and threatening to sue for damages. Cant change their story without breaking a few eggs though I suppose, besides most of the people who wrote the original fluff arent on the games workshop payroll anymore. So we just have to take it as it is in recent fluff I guess.
