space marine schnauzer Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm on the second book of the HH, and I been wondering when does the Big E show up. Not just a mention, but interacting with the a primarch or any other character.

Zincite Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Descent of Angels has him in it. The First Heretic is the big one, he turns up around about the third chapter . (Mild spoiler there) And a brief look of him in the first short story of Tales of Heresy, which I'm half way through. Only a brief look though, as mentioned.

space marine schnauzer Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks, I read Tales of Heresy and I believe the story that has the Big E is "The Last Church".

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 He also has an appearance in Nemesis, albeit brief. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236233-when-does-the-emperor-show-up-in-the-hh-books/#findComment-2846368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artein Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Also in Legion in short flashback. If I remember correctly Big E is also in Mechanicum, also very brief.

Necris Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Big E isn't credited in any of the books so far (Personalties list at the start of each novel) but I believe he is also in Decent of Angels (Couldn't get into that book at all) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236233-when-does-the-emperor-show-up-in-the-hh-books/#findComment-2846478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know he gave up campaining and let Horus take control of the crusade. But wouldn't you think the Emperor would show up and see how the war was going?

Pulse Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yeh it was based on Eldar tech and then modified by the Emperor - so yes it is based on xenos tech, but then lots of tech was used from different species early on in the early Imperium. Its a shame really because just now 40k is pretty retarded when it comes to common sense and technology, lol.

That's the point I don't understand..on one hand you can use xenos tech but then you might have the == show up at your door. Unless you are AM then it might be in the honor of the machine god...or maybe not Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236233-when-does-the-emperor-show-up-in-the-hh-books/#findComment-2848389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are AM then it might be in the honor of the machine god...or maybe not Since the Emperor has been on the throne the Imperium is essentially without a leader. The High Lords are considered to be the leader(s) of humanity but they each have their own agendas and each have different views on how the Imperium should run, it is because of this the Imperium is in the state it is. One High Lord might sanction something and then another will, behind the scenes, try and stop whatever it was that was sanctioned. Basically its a big mess.

Zincite Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks, I read Tales of Heresy and I believe the story that has the Big E is "The Last Church". Actually, I meant the view we get in 'Blood Games' at the time, since I hadn't finished reading the book yet. But that was a far better view and was a very good story. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236233-when-does-the-emperor-show-up-in-the-hh-books/#findComment-2849790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I wreckon the last book aboutthe heresy will be from the emperors view point. Although immagine the sheer size of the book and every letter must be laminated to stop the reader loyalist or chaotic fan alike drooling all over it.

But wouldn't you think the Emperor would show up and see how the war was going? The whole point of Horus falling was that he wouldn't have if the Emperor was there. The Emperor felt that Horus was capable, and left the handling of the Great Crusade to him. No need to name a new leader if you keep popping back to take the reigns again.
