Well, besides checking yourself into a mental institution, I would get some candles, painting of him, and some form of token.

Just convert to the worship of a Chaos God, like Frazzled.

Your simple existance in debauchery is all that is needed.

DDepends on the angle you're going at. WAnt a BA shrine? Lots of crying angels and blood. SW? SHRINE TO THE ALLFATHER! Trophies, pelts, you name it. Vanilla? Candles, banners, etc. CHaos? Warped and twisted any of the above. Average citizens? Meager offerings and small gifts. Perhaps a small doll?

Make sure you get it right.

I'll be putting you on the list and coming round to make sure you are observing the worship of the God-Emperor of Mankind, Beloved by All correctly.

If not...

Mini shrines are heresy. The Emperor accepts only full size, fully armed and functional shrines.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

It'll be in a thing in my room. It has my tv and a wood shelving thing. There are two glass 'doors' that open to the shelves. The Shrine will be in there. It'll be pretty big...

Because it is a proof that you actually played TOO MUCH W40k. Next step is taking your breakfast in power armour and assaulting the closest church yelling: "BURN THE HERETIC!!!"

But if you ever finish your shrine, send pics to GW. I'm sure they'd put it in "what's new today".

But the Emperor already has a shrine, in the form of your local Games Workshop. You honour him by sacrificing your money to the plastic effigies of his warriors. In time, your devotion will be rewarded with the gift of having even more effigies to worship.

Buy a toilet. get a gallon of gold paint and paint the toilet gold. then find some sort of Halloween store and buy a skeleton.
get some toilet paper and a chocolate candy bar.

put some of the toilet paper in the skeletons hand. Drop the chocolate bar into the toilet and allow it to melt/dry.
then mount the skeleton to the golden toilet. now you have your very own home Emperor of man!

You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood.

According to 40k fluff (at least the old fluff) the Emperor was born a few thousand years ago...

One does not simply stand in the forty-first millennium!
One stands heroically, with a big sword or something!
...Or they sit. Also with a big sword or something.
For this is the forty-first millennium, and there really isn't much else to do!

Hi there, I'm an hole! =D

"Links disintegrate--
Bolt clanks back and forth behind the thudding roar--
Brass rains on the sidewalk--
The 'sixty rattles out its song.
A song I first heard years ago--
Of fireteams dug in on the breaks between the paddyfields, of tracer lasering the jungle night, of Hueys screaming through the void--
Of Lieutenant Castle getting short and hating it, wanting 'Nam to last forever--
A lullaby come all the way to New York City--
Come to sing you to sleep."

This is just what they want you to think. There is just as much evidence to suggest he does as there is evidence for any other religious belief.

Regards the shrine - check out Japanese and Chinese shirines. They are rather cool and with the addition of a few eagles and so on would look great.

Does that go for believing in ~1800 year old fiction (The Bible) or the 1500 year old variant (The Quran) e.ct e.ct as well?

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

Don't even bother buying a new toilet. Just paint your toilet in gold, and you'll get the chance of being the emperor every day!
