I took my wife thru the BRB for fantasy and 40k, the first thing she said was "AWESOME"... codex: Chaos Daemons Nurgle..... to all those who says God aint real....

He 'Captain Jacks' that business. Gets blown apart, pulls himself back together and gets back into the fight. Atleast thats how I think of him. An omnisexual time travelling charlatan-turned-good-guy in Terminator Armour.

I believe he does it on a 4+.
Its grey knights what do you expect? Basically take anything good out of any other book and its in there somewhere. And then some. So the Sisters have a character with this power, so the Grey knights had to have one too. In terminator armor. With a nemisis force halberd.
Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

He is the Immortal one that will die at the foot of the golden throne and in turn bring the star child and ascend the Emperor.

Does it matter? It makes for an interesting character on the table top. I think his bit of fluff is okay when compared to other fluff written in that book.

Yeah, I think he got saved by the Tardis at some point too

Nah, surely he's a highlander? No one's yet to decapitate the cusser. Gutted - yes. Eaten alive - yes. Decapitated - not quite.

Its the same thing that makes demons and orks, Lucius and Socery possible: The Warp.
You can alter the Warp with Willpower or a psychic talent or you can hope that your ,,god" helps you out from it.
you can say what you want, but the Emperor has saved and protected the IOM and will continue to do so...he isnt a God, he is the father of man kind, and my daddy can beat up ur daddy.

This, however, is how I shall always think of him from now on.

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

I'm going with a combination of these two
Don't get me wrong I like him as a character and his background I just wanted to see peoples opinions on the specifics of it.

He doesn't get back up after a Vortex missle ill say that lol.
you can't "get back up" when you've been sucked into a black hole.
But my only logic of why he does return to life every time is whats already been said by the others above.

Vortex weapons do not create a Black Hole. They create "a hole" in reality leading to the Warp. A weaponised WWP of sorts.
The only force known in the 40K universe that can use Black Holes as a weapon, which includes containing them, moving them and selectively applying them to the opponent without wrecking, well, pretty much the entire goddamn galaxy, appears to be Asdrubael Vect. Only if you accept the hairbrained, fluff-and-common-sense wrecking, suspension-of-disbelief denying fan-boy-idiocy that is the latest DE Codex that is.
I think you're under some misinformed ideas about what black holes are.

I think the real question is (and this was covered in another thread) what would happen if Lucius and Thawn killed each other simultaneously:
• Would Thawn come back?
• Would Lucius come back?
• Would neither come back?
• Would it create a giant singularity that would tear reality asunder?
