Saa 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. I would personally hate this and would completely boycott it. I've thrown my money at GW for some shocking reasons before but I'd refuse to purchase / read this. For me (yes even as a Word Bearer fan boi), the Emperor is a larger than life, mysterious figure who's motivations and rationale are beyond the ken of us mere mortals. To see him portrayed as a thinking, fallible, emotionally motivated person would diminish his stature for me. I'm sure there's many people who would drool over this 'epic read' but it just wouldn't do it for me. I don't want to 'know' if he made a pact with the chaos gods: I like to speculate as to whether it's a lie or not. I don't want to 'know' what choices he had to make when expunging the two lost legions: I like the eternal debate it provides. And I certainly don't want to 'know' if he felt emotions like fear, anguish, utter betrayal at the siege of Terra: hes the Emperor, I don't want to see him portrayed as someone 'I' could relate to as a sentient being. He's bigger than that as a character.

Tl;dr - No thank you Saa As much as he is a WB fanboi and as such is treated with total disdain and deserves to die a painful heretical death, i completely agree with this... Even though i want to know these answers it would spoil the whole heresy for me and completely humanise the Emperor who is above such petty feelings and emotions.

Ring-around-the-roses Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Emotional, human Emperor? Damn, my entire screen just went SYNTAX ERROR. I don't think GW could survive the legal suits for crushed dreams if that happened.

Ring-around-the-roses Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Nah, the Starchild theory is more fun, as it allows the Emperor to be even MORE powerful. Now that is a prospect to make ol' Abby wet his TDA. Of course, the theory of the Emperor turning into a Warp God is even more fun, becuase then you get Imperial Daemons. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236233-when-does-the-emperor-show-up-in-the-hh-books/page/2/#findComment-2849953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring-around-the-roses Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Creedlings; Tiny little daemons who are famous for surrounding themselves with a blinding psychic fog smelling of cig-ash. Able to disguise any daemon in their radius, they cannot strangely camoflauge any daemon with hooves. WARNING; though having no combat ability of their own, they are nearly always accompanied by the infamous KellNoughts, beasts of destruction that will lay down their own lives, and many of the enemies, to save their Creedling.

Reldn Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 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. Sounds like we've finally found 40k's version of Fantasy's Skaven. *laughs* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236233-when-does-the-emperor-show-up-in-the-hh-books/page/2/#findComment-2850243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the Living Saints are, or the Legion of the Damned, even Sebastian Thor (ok, he was more partially possessed, but the point stands)?

Ring-around-the-roses Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd love to see somebody summon sebastian thor back to the battlefied. I've always had a suspicion he was one of the Emperor's sons.....
