I think that that's hilarious, the emperor, was a cave man.

Yep, 40k's current universe is incredibly sadly ironic.

HERESY!

I also believe (like you said Kel) that he played his cards too soon. Instead of just conquering Terra and heading out on the Great Crusade AS SOON AS Old Night was over, he should have built up Terra first, 100% solidified his power, crushed resistence, THEN move out and conquer the Sol System. Solidify power, crush resistence, move out. Slow, steady, and remain at peak performance and power.

The Emperor probably knew this. Maybe he even believed that that was what he should have done. So why didn't he? Why did he conquer as soon as he could and as fast as he could instead of slowly building up so he could build his power and Imperium to a true golden age?



it seems to me like he waited a rather long time on Terra, what with making the Primarchs and the first full Legions of Space Marines there/on Luna before moving out into the greater galaxy...
Oh, and he had all resistance on Terra/in the Sol system basically annihilated even before that, I'm fairly certain.
Hi there, I'm an hole! =D

"Links disintegrate--
Bolt clanks back and forth behind the thudding roar--
Brass rains on the sidewalk--
The 'sixty rattles out its song.
A song I first heard years ago--
Of fireteams dug in on the breaks between the paddyfields, of tracer lasering the jungle night, of Hueys screaming through the void--
Of Lieutenant Castle getting short and hating it, wanting 'Nam to last forever--
A lullaby come all the way to New York City--
Come to sing you to sleep."
-The Punisher


Yay for Mech IG with Daemonhunter and kroot allies! Planning on 5000+ pts very soon!

Actually, he's correct. Heretically repugant yes, but still correct. Heretics are those who do not ackowledge or enjoy the Emperor's Will; traitors are those who have, but turned from it.
