Chuck Norris isn't the Emperor fool. He's BETTER.

"From the fires of Betrayal unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favored Son of Chaos, all praise be given to him. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the Boon of Pain, to turn the Galaxy red with the blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods."

Well speaking about Warhammer gods.

Nurgles a way nicer god imo.

Although this Eldar "Laughing God" seems like a pretty cool guy, what is he like?

Would it not have been better to just tell them about the Webway and why he had to leave the Crusade to build it? Would it not have been better to tell them about the Chaos gods rather than just say there are no gods and religion is crap (I'm pretty sure he knew)?

Legion strongly implies that Alpharius knew at least the basic details about the chaos gods. When debating whether to act as suggested and aid Horus, he states something along the lines of 'It is my father's greatest will to destroy the great enemy.' (Someone else will have to find the exact quote, I borrowed the book when I read it.)

What I think they were misinformed about was the exact power and corruptive nature of chaos. They underestimated it and thought themselves, the pinnacle of humanity, were immune. Can anyone give a fluff source of a major daemonic uprising before the HH? It could be that the Emperor underestimated them too. Sure, they stole his sons away, but all they were able to do was scatter them; while Tzeentch may have seen far enough ahead to know what they could become, the other gods would have killed the infants had they the slightest sense. I am astonished Khorne didn't take out a few. Like Magnus.

Horus, in Horus Rising, on the other hand, doesn't seem to know all that much about Chaos. He seems to know that the Warp can change people, but he shows no signs that he's aware of the actual Chaos Gods. He actually accepts the use of the word "daemon" just for lack of a better term to describe things that have not been fully studied, but nothing more.

I have already two major flaws in your idea. 1: If that was the case marbo would have went back in time and kicked the emperor's ass and the imperium would be over 9000 times more awesome. 2: The technoviking would have done exactly the same thing. I agree with the wise man who posted earlier who says he looks like Gerrard Butler.

One that believed in the purity of humanity, yet created a new breed of genetic monstrosities that he claimed were the pinnacle of mankind, yet none would ever reach it barring genetic reconstruction.

A hypocrit, a self-serving martyr, and a false god that thought to claim his ascension to godhood, but failed miserably.


this.

Also, gotta love the imperium of man where there are skulls floating around and people are half machines, not actually 100% people (just look in the main rulebooks if you dont see what i'm talking about.)

I see him as a man who thoguht that he was the only right choice for the mankind and in many cases he was.After his near-death the Imperium degerated into what we know today.He could tell his sons about the nature of Chaos Gods and about other dangers.
