(Updated version 1.7)
LoL

Add in the rule where your opponent gains control of half of your army. Call it "Terrible Father"

instead of armor saves? What about invulns...actually, looks like he has no invuln!

Seems legit.

DoW

Actually you can't have a wounds characteristic above 10 so knock that down and we'll call it good.

Psyker master level 10 too. Why mess around?

Hey, guys, I know I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but remember the time the Emperor got his ass handed to him in a fight by an Ork Warboss? What makes you think he's got T10 and 30 Wounds? What makes you think his stats are any better than the average Inquisitor?

...the fact that Orks get stronger the more friends they have? Ullanor was the turning point of the Great Crusade and the biggest Waaagh! ever recorded. The Waaagh! field generated by so many boyz would be of enormous proportions.

I sense a troll...

Sorry just a mistake in text, ive fixed it now.

LoL okay:

Terrible father - Should any primarch be part of your crusade you must roll a 2D6 at the beginning of the game to determine the amount of legions turning traitor, should a double be rolled 2 legions will be lost.

You do realize that this means that your opponent has about a 1 in 10000 chance of doing a wound, right? If you want to keep this the Emperor needs to be around 20,000 points. (srs)
I'd probably just make it so the Emperor has a 4+ invul that he takes on 2d6.

Kind Regards,
Vladsimpaler

Here's a thought. Its a troll. And a terrible one at that.

What?

You've broken every single MEQ large Apoc battle.

What?

WHY?

What?

Any more ideas?

Yo, you forgot to give him rules for being the pokemon master.

Considering that he is *Matrix Agent Voice* only human, I'd think that he'd be like a Lord Inquistor but with apocalyptic psyker powers and army morale bonuses.

Oh sorry, I'm posting sensible ideas in a troll thread?

Why is his sword pinning when it can't shoot? This in addition to the other cringe-worthy stats and rules makes me want to link that picture of the Joker.

I shall resist.

Iranna.

Killing my favourite son because he kills a random dude as I die: If the Emperor is down to one would he can fire a single str D AP 1 unlimited range attack that causes instant death ignores eternal warrior and all other rules as well as vehicle structure points. After executing the attack replace the emperor with the golden Throne.

Golden Throne
WS: 0 BS: 0 Str: 0 T: 2 W: 1 I: 0 A: 0 Ld: 10 Sv: 2+ (he is still in his armour for some reason)

Special Rules:

The Golden Throne is Failing: Every turn roll 1D3, on a roll of 1 the emperor dies causing a psychic backlash that kills every psyker regardless of wounds, special rules, or saves. Remove the emperor as a casualty, and all Imperial units roll a D6 with the following results

1: The entire unit is removed as casualties.
2: The entire unit automatically goes under the control of the opponent.
3: The entire unit suffers -5 leadership for the rest of the game.
4: The entire unit begins to retreat and cannot regroup no matter what.
5: The entire unit cannot move, shoot, assault, or attack in close combat for the following turn.
6: Every model gains furious charge, rage, and preferred enemy.

All models that are part of a Chaos Daemons or Chaos Space Marines army becomes fearless, gains +1 strength, +1 initiative, and +3 attacks as well as furious charge.

Still a Corpse, but a Holy Corpse: Every Imperial Model within LOS of the Golden Throne is fearless.

I LIVE AGAIN!: Every turn roll 1D6 after rolling the 1D3 for the golden throne failure (if the golden throne fails disregard this), on a roll of 6 the Emperor comes back to life, replace the Golden Throne with the Emperor.

Uh, what? His genetics are those used in the creation of the primarchs - and he's superior to all of them in every way.

The Terrible Father rule kicks ass. I love it!
Definitely lol worthy

Its meant to be a pre-heresy Emperor.

Its pinning in close combat :S . Anything is possible for the GOD EMPEROR OF MANKIND!

I will be the very best, like no one ever waaaaaaaas!

Instead of pinning, make his attacks count as a thunder hammer using his initiative instead of the normal weapon profile. The key to trolling is either making things more believable so people take your side and fight for it, or so outlandish with just a shred of truth everyone laughs at it and then goes home and thinks about it. If you wanted to get more realistic instead, you should listen to some (not everyone's) suggestions of balancing him out a bit more.

You are still a terrible troll.

Climb back under your bridge and leave this section free of your poor attempt at trolling.

That statline and those rules make me lol.

how about actually listing your GEoM stats instead of sending us off to download something that is probably not worth the time to download (Why would anyone want to download something just to check out a single fanfic statline?)
