Yeah, that look of horror really shows his overconfidence...

If any of you had actually read the extract posted just a page or 2 ago. (or the original story at any other time) you would know that the Emperor actually saw a glimmer of hope in horus' eyes when he was blasting his soul, but after a microsecond of doubt, continued killing him, seeing that it was also horus' wish for the horrors he had comitted.

I did read it. It also shows that it was a surprise attack, launched when Horus turned to face the Emperor, which was why he couldn't block it.

the overconfidence came from the fact he could ignore the Emporer (the greatest human ever) for any amount of time, he though he was all but victorious, IMHO the look of horror was more of a "what the hell you should be dying" look of horror (i.e. like fireing an entire platoon of guards men into a SM tac squad an non of then dieing)

I don't think changing the direction of his attention for long enough to take care of an interruption is really ignoring him for any length of time. It's turning from a currently bested opponent for long enough to stab the person attacking you, then hearing the click and realising it was a gun fight after all.

I disagree i think it is like two dads fighting, one has beaten the other to a pulp and is just about to finish him off, the beaten dad's 5 year old comes along and hits the better dad , Who, so confident in his victory, turns to hit the child even though it poses no threat. After hitting the child he turns his attention back to the beaten dad to finnish him off, only to realise he hadn't beaten him and get k.o.ed in a single punch

Besides, no Primarch is more powerful then the Emperor when it comes to psychic might.

Magnus + Tzeentch is a pretty potent combo...

Still Tzeentch can't send his Daemons into reality because Emperor is blocking him + 3 his brothers with his mind. And he is near death to, not that is a bad-ass.

Tzeentch regularly sends daemons into reality, as do the other three gods. If you mean he's stopping the gods themselves, they have no desire to leave the warp.

"His great mind endures inside a rotted carcass, kept alive by the mysteries of ancient technology. His immense psychic powers envelop and protect Mankind across the entire galaxy. His consciousness wanders through Warp space, warring against Daemons that inhabit it, keeping closed the doors between this world and the next."

You are wrong, there is no way for them to enter real space. And they can only send their Daemons if they break trough a barrier into reality. Something that has became REAL hard thanks to the Emeperor.

They are summoned from the warp, they never actually enter the material plane under their own power.

Except for when the possess a psyker and twist them to their will, as seen in the Last Chancers? Or when they spontaneously appear when the right emotions are present, like in Fulgrim?

Once again, that's not under their own power, they are drawing power from said situations. And with posession, the link a psyker has functions as a gateway. So no, a daemon can't just go: "hey you know what, I feel like having a field day on some gakky planet. Mind the bump... and yep, I'm there."

I did that yesterday.
Wheres your theory now?

People posting from a psychiatric ward aren't by definition daemons....
