Yes.... but he lost us the war.

D:< Abbadon even said he disowned him for that. Although the Daemon Primarchs should get off their s and do something.

Who was it Emperor's Faithfull or someone who had for their slogan Victory need's no explanation Defeat offer's none.

Sorry although Horus was cool that's just how I roll XD.

Vote Shadowbrand! *does devil horns with one powerfist hand*

lol never said he was right.. though it would be funny if you just said a gw employee was an idiot lol(hypothetically for you literals) I say this cause I am working in vid game design/modeling and there was a guest from pixar to show people tips on modeling. One girl who was working that day apparently didnt get the memo because when he came around and said hey you may wanna try this. she said" yea and who the hell do you think you are!" lol He replied" uh I'm the lead designer for Pixar.." lol so much strong insults flung on this forum..

Though I agree we need more from the supposed primarchs.. we're getting more from random cultists lol

I dont see any reason that someone opinion is more valid then anyone elses cause they a GW employee.

It just means they work for GW. Now the fluff writters should know what there talking about but an average GW employee opinion is no more valid then mine or yours.

lol sorry it just reminded me of what happened the other day lol cause stuff like that can make or break my jobs. Though also on the other hand I'm not a huge fan of saying someone's an idiot or what not. I mean honestly if someone remembered all the fluff from when this great game was conceived either needs to get a life or become a fluff writer lol

lol indeed!

I was never insulting anyone. Just saying Shadow could do a good job at leading the Legion. I'm sorry If i made someone mad, perhaps it was a lil too egotistical.

@Shadow: Coming from a worshipper of Slaneesh, I think it was quite modest.

@Warmaster: You sure as heck say lol alot. ...lol

On Topic: According to fluff, the galaxy is somewhat at a kind of draw. To the galactic west, Abbadon is failing to do crap in Cadia, to the north Ghaghzkull is being stopped by a one-eyed old dude, and to the east the nids are floundering about in the Octavian Empire. The south isn't even worth bothering about becuase the Tau are such small fries.

Not you shadow lol it was another person you happen to post in the middle of lol someone previous was calling people idiots..

Unless they have read every Games Workshop,Black Library and White Dwarf magizine.

..you don't have to be an employee to do that. besides, it's not like you can get a doctorate or anything in 'The School of Fluff'. Short of making crap up it's hard to be downright wrong with fluff. According to some fluff, orks will win. Occording to other fluff, nid's will win. And other fluff says chaos will win. And other fluff says eldar will win (sort of). The short story is that there is a vast amount of fluff, and no single 'correct' way to interperet it. (Of course, the EMPRAH WILL WIN!)

@Warmaster: I believe the term is ninja'd.

Ah, I kinda wish I could write actual fluff me and my friend had a Campaign that Shadowbrand went and set up his own camp on Cadia and broke through their blockade.

Of course now we have Terra where THE BEST loyalist defenses are. but hey? that's pretty good.


Loyalist's Ima coming for you...

But yea... wait Ghazzgull or w/e is losing? I thought he'd be doing even better then Abbadon considering Ork's a larger threat.

Shadowbrand: OH YEAH!
*vague shout of 'I DO COCAINE' in the backround*
Shadowbrand: We've slipped past Cadia! Now Terra is OURS for the TAKING!
*Ship exits warp outside Terra*
Shadowbrand: ...what? The maps say Terra should be right here! So what is this big lump of guns, all pointing right at us? This is like a thousand times WORSE than Cadia! For some to move all those guns..it must have taken some kind of tacticl geniu-

*The shout of CREEEEEEED was lost in the ensuing explosion*

Oh well i'm Immortal

NEXT TIME KAKAROT!!!!!! *flys off*

RIP Doomrider... *sniff* you were a cool dude.

*Shadowbrand* Well. If it's one thing fighting on /b/ taught me it's you have to fight a meme with a meme... IMA FIRIN MY LAZER!

Oh no, DOOMRIDER doesn't die, he's got the 'he comes, he goes' rule. YOU, on the other hand... *evil grin*

I'm a Demon Prince of Slannesh! Ill just reform somewhere out there in the warp. Or....... Behind you.


*Twisted full face smile*

Let me show you a trick I learned working the streets on Commorgh.

Wait...what are you? DE or Emps Children?

EC... but I had spring break in Commorgh.


Man...It was a blast I got pictures, wana see?

..no thanks.
So how are your cousins? Still in pain? No, theyre dead...oh...too bad.

Would that trick have anything to do with the needle on your avatar?

Eh it's ok they had it coming to them.

One called Kharn a girly man on Skalathrax.
Shadowbrand survived that by hiding in a Tauntaun when it got cold.

The Other deep striked into a giant puddle of punch and drowned.
I loled at that, he's still sticky.

Man though... the Spa at Commorgh is the best!! have you seen their needle massage?

Oh my Avatar? It's from an Anime I've gotten into, I did a Fan art thing with them as personalities of the Chaos gods.
It also is just appropriate for a Slannesh worshiper

I think that It would eventually go down to orks, necrons, and nids because we don't know how many Necrons or nids there are (since necrons are all hybernating in planets and nids are constantly coming from other galexies) and orks are like plants in the way that when they die they let out a bunch of spores and if they find a good spot they grow more orks.

lol how am I ninjaed by you telling me stuff back that I already have said? I've always said on numerous topics there's a ton of fluff that can contradict. Are you trying to use your emperors dirty mind tricks again? lol Necrons, nids and chaos all thinking they own the universe but when there's nothing left to blow up but each other it will be a sad universe.. nids running from crons, crons chasing cause thats the only life left and chaos trying to manipulate robots and hive minded nids lol a practice in futility lol

LOL indeed!
But anyways...The Emperor wakes up from his nap on the toilet realizes that the newspaper is m36.4447 and bangs a sob. Hires the intergalactic mafia to assasinate every enemy leader and rules the galaxy as master of the mankind and crimelord of the milkyway.

QFT

HORUS Planned on conquering the Imperium, but then, would always feel guilt for killing the Emperor and his brother Primarchs, and would eventually destroy humanity utterly. The resulting psychic shock from such a massacre would all but obliterate the Chaos Gods.

And Mechanicum was a dull, brain numbing, insult to literature.


And I do wonder though, what will really happen when the Golden Throne fails. Sure the Emperor will die, but he was never really mortal to begin with. He was, as Lord-Loss said, created from the collective psychic powers of every one of earth's shamans. And then he was born in the 8th Millennium BC. The likeliness of him dying from an injury in the span from -M8 to M31 when Horus put his blade into him is pretty freaking high, even as a psyker. Think about it. How likely could it be that he's died before and just ressurrected a day, a week, a year later, and spent the time between in the warp fighting daemons as he is now.

Could he just be waiting for something? Sure, we know the Golden Throne is failing, but could it be that the life preserving mechanisms are alll that's keeping him from reincarnating, on account that he can't die until it finally kicks out? Wouldn't that be ironic. By preserving him the Imperium would actually be screwing themselves over

That's some deep stuff metallia. Keep up the good posts!

but didnt the emporer commision the construction of the golden throne?
or have i got it all mixed around?

Mixed around? The golden throne commissioned the building of the Emperor?

Naw, He did build the Golden Throne, or rather, design it. You're right on the ball. But perhaps he meant for it only sustain him for a shorter period, and then, when it was decided he was beyond saving, they would take him down and lay him to rest, thus allowing him to manifest once more. Maybe the Imperium misinterpreted this and has, through accident, actually made him a prisoner of the throne and by doing so, doomed themselves because he can no longer complete the cycle he would need to in order to ressurrect once more.

It's certainly a GRIMDARK enough scenario, so it could be possible

certainly true enough then.

isnt there also the minor problem of the warp tunel he was working on when horus attacked? the one that resides behind (im going on memory here) the throne?
if i recal, when he went out to meet horus on the flagship the regent of terra took the seat on the throne and held the portal closed until the emporer was returned, upon which he truned to dust?

I thought the golden throne was originally built to hijack into the webway.But didn't the emperor just tell Rogal Dorn to add a life support system.

The Webway was a more recent addition to the fluff. Something else GW just 'tossed in' to ruin the story because if the Empruh ever died, then bam. Game over. Watch, next edition the Feth-wads they hire that've been butchering fluff since 2nd or 3rd ed will claim that they found a way to fix the Throne and everyone lived happily ever after. -_-

Assuming he would reincarnate at an unknown time he could have constructed the throne to sustain so he could allow for the travel to stay open. Since he helps guide their ships if he didn't respawn if you will for decades he would leave the kids open for all sorts of bad days ahead. And of course keep the story/game going cause with no flagship sm, gw would be sad
