And i second that horus is annihilated for a reason.

Gw took the arch-traitor out of the game as they did immobilize the emperor (also out) and lock the other primarchs away.
Reduced the usable figures in 40k to "normal" creatures, no more demi-gods.

The Emperor's level of power was certainly near that of many historical deities.

Alpha level psykers can level buildings; the best Zeus had was lightning bolts. If the Emperor doesn't qualify as a demigod, I'd like to hear your definition of one.

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.

The emporer is NOTHING to the power of the chaos gods!
There so good they turn his favorite son against him and make him kick his butt, then turn half of his superhuman warriors against him, and then make them launch raids against his empire for 10,000 years!

Yeah, but the chaos gods actually do diddily squat they just bestow powers on thier followers. The Emporor does it himself.

Yeh but when your as old as the chaos gods, its like "yeh il do something next 100,000 years".
Tzeench is always busy with his endless schemes so he's never doing nothing and if he is, its all part of his grand sceme.
The emporer does everything, and he hasnt been sitting on his **** for 10,000 years, and he didnt retire from the great crusade did he?

Realy enslaving hundreds of worlds in the last 10,000 years is getting our ***** kicked is it!

The imperium is collapsing! The necrons,nids, eldar, tau and etc is making sure that happens, while CSM just like kiling things.

The imperium is so STUPID that they dont realise killing there bony assed emporer will make him come back more powerful!

Humanity is collapsing! different theatre. If mankind fails,this includes all humans no matter the loyality.
So the end of the loyalists is also the last day of the traitors. Chaos will move on to new xeno-recruits.

The EMPEROR certainly qualifies as a "God" in the 40K universe, which is rather ironic, seeing as how that's pretty much counter to his wishes.

Well, his wishes when he was 'alive'.

The skinny bone sack is an illusion cast by the Emperor

This will mislead those xenos and heretics to come forth -- then he'll destroy them once and for all

As a god => he can choose his appearance.

Yes he's one amazing pysker but he still got beaten up a demi-god when he's apparently a god!

Also if the emporer is a god, and he made mistakes, and gets half dead, i dont see that happening to tzeench or nurgle, you know why?

"cause there are gods" => where are gods if not sittin on old terra?

And i know why: Emperor = half dead but tzentchy = already dead (he only a illusion) and nurgli = undead (so no life - no death)

He was injured by Horus not because he was weaker then him, but because he wouldn't go all out on Horus. Horus was his favored son, and only until he killed that terminator did he realize there was no chance of redemption. The emperor then went all out, using the last of his strength to nuke Horus. In fact, in that last moment, the chaos gods left Horus' body because if they were hit by the attack they would have been obliterated

Not that any of that matters. Gods are created by the will of their followers, and pretty much all Orks (which are the most populus race in 40k) worship Gork/Mork, who, funnily enough, became massive entities in the warp, dwarfing all the Chaos Gods and the Emperor. There is old fluff where Gork and Mork love to beat on and play pranks on the Chaos Gods, and their is fluff where when they briefly became fully awakened (when the first Gargant was made) the emperor and the chaos gods trembled.

The only reason we don't see Orky demons or have the other gods wiped out is simple: Orks are already built in the image of Gork and Mork, and they just love chaos and mayhem, so as long as that's happening, their is no reason to upset the status quo. (except when it'd be a laugh)

Well in a straight fight, they wouldnt betray each other! ok then indiviually?

Khorne would get his butt kicked, but i dont think he would get killed COMPLETELY, well i think the emporer would tire himself out tryna hit nurgle, and then Nurge would shove his head in his armpit, so it would be close, Tzeench would probaly win IMO, and slaanesh would dance around in a dress, and jump on the emporer and shove his fanny in his face, so again close.
