minigun762 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Oddly enough, I can't seem to find any evidence of a Dark Apostle being promoted to a Daemon Prince. Currently even Erebus and Kor Phaeron are still (super)human in nature, as is the council on Sicarus. That being said, is there any reason the most devout of the Legions does not seek or cannot obtain daemonhood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Some Wordbearer Lords probably have become DP's already. It's not always the biggest boys on the block. In fact sometimes they still have a purpose to fullfill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true and I've thought about that before, but it implies that once you become a Daemon Prince, you can't continue in your old job (so to speak), but that doesn't seem to be the case. The codex even specifically mentions Daemon Princes continuing to lead their Warbands after accession, so why would that stop you?

Important Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think some lords and really high up ranked lords don't want to become DP. It's more challenging being 'just' a marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 because up till you become a DP you still can do what you want , after this you have to do what your god tells you too[or the thing that made you a DP]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raulmichile Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 because up till you become a DP you still can do what you want , after this you have to do what your god tells you too[or the thing that made you a DP]. Good point. Anyway, assuming that a Lord accepts Unidivided daemonhood, who will give him orders? Any of the four greater powers? The four at the same time? (quite confusing I admit) Lorgar? Furthermore: what happens if one power orders him something Lorgar doesn't like? Mmmmmhhh.... after all that I can see why some people just don't want to become Daemon Prince after all... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternative a stronger daemon that helped the lord achieving the DP goal, maybe some awesome chaos dude that happen to know how to easily banish daemons like grey knights but still a chaos believer. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an interesting point. I guess it goes to the question of how does one get promoted to Daemonhood. Do you need to have the patronage of a particular Chaos entity (the main gods or others) or can you become a Daemon Prince through interaction/controlling the Warp itself? **Possible Spoiler Incoming** I give the example of the Warsmith from Iron Storm. He doesn't seem like he works for any particular Chaos god, but manages to achieve Daemonhood. Did he do this through his own mastering of the warp and sacrifices to Chaos as a whole?

incinerator950 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 You can become an Undivided Prince, either through blessings of all 4 or through random warp encounters and entities. Artifacts included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthandallStars Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It would seem that an undivided Daemon Prince would still have a lot of autonomy, if not total autonomy. Not taking the gift probably has a lot more to do with ones current focus and perspective. If the Ultramarines were destroyed and the Imperium fell Erebus would probably ascend at that point. The Imperium is nothing more than a play thing for daemons since they are theoretically immortal. As a Daemon Prince, one would probably care a lot less about the Imperium and a lot more about fighting other daemons for control of the warp, and ascending to full godhood.

TheDarkApostle Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 There are countless Gods in the Warp. The Big Four are called that because they're simply the biggest of them all. Then again there are those who in faint whispers would claim that even the Big Four are but aspects of the great all, Chaos Undivided, the root of all of Chaos.

More like a self-accession then being promoted by a specific being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
