Kind of old since they were from Realms of Chaos and are pretty much no longer part of Canon.

Just odd that a space "kingdom" only had a king with no queen.

Mistake:

An Imperium isn't a kingdom.

> No king = no queen.

Go list Emperors with "Empresses" alongside.

Perhaps the Imperium, male-centric (is that a word?) as it is, just didn't think them important enough to record. I could very well see them treating it in a "we didn't record what he had for breakfast either" sort of way.

So a literal spin on "Hey girl, you look delicious! I could eat you all night"

If you are curious, that wooshing noise was Nightbringer's Chosen's point going right over your head.

Primarchs are his children to, and all had his powers.
These Sensei might be some new Primarch, but much more developed in mind than in body...
We have already concluded that there is no way for him to have kids, because he is a super-human.
Not one woman can survive in bed with him.

Sensei were not taken away from canon. Let's just say that (if I recall correctly) the Inquisition turned down the followers of the Sensei sect since they thought it was heretical.

No more, no less.

But this doesn't mean that the Sensei are not in the universe waiting to get back in action.

What's all this "people explode in his presence" stuff? Did I miss something in the fluff?

He didn't get himself a wife because he couldn't be bothered with having to divide the galaxy down the middle if they got divorced.

I dont care about if he ddt have a wife but he BETTER NOT BE A VIRGIN! I am not fightin fra billion year old virgin. Thats just sad.

Well, its Big E, everyone loves him, why shouldnt there be any Groupies over the millenias? I am sure there were some but why the Heck should there be records about that? Also there cant be an Empress cuz Big E is/was a God among mortals there was not such a woman who could stand beside him.

I wonder what would happen if Big E stands up from his golden Throne and sees his greates Fanclub, the Sororitas with their Shirts: "Daddy is the Best!"

He had the right idea, he would have never had time to unite humankind if he had an Empress.

Mrs. E: You might be the Emperor of mankind but I still need shoes, the dog needs walking and we're out of milk...

E: I have a million worlds to unite and humankind shall surely fall without my guidance, I must ...

Mrs E.: There you go again, you always think of everyone else, never me, when was the last time you did something nice for me!?!

Notice how it's not 'mankind', she would have had a field day if he referred to people that way ..

An Empress would have been far too... distracting... shall we say nothing would ever get done!

He's a Hermaphropsychic.

There's a very simple answer to this question, and I'm surprised no one has hit on it yet.

There are no women in 40k.

Oh, there might be the occasional Sister of Battle or remembrancer, but for the most part, women simply don't exist in the IoM.

Saint Celestine can't get him to settle down.

A long but funny (at times) read.

People keep saying that a woman would just "explode" because of the emperors power, and that he is so tall it would be impossible anyway. As the most powerful psyker of all time, I think he would know how to mask his power and change his appearance, after all he had to have a way of staying secret all the time before the GC.

He probably just had 5 sec stands. He mentally assaulted the woman's sexual part of her brain and it was done.

Guys just tell me he is not virgin! I just began to collect Blood Angels and quit Deth Guard. If he is truely a virgin im going back to the Death Guards. No Way Im fighting for a thousand year old virgin

I always imagined the Emperor was beyond things like love and surely plain ole sex, you know being divine and all. This is why I find the idea of the Sensei to be strange. I see the Emprah less like Zeus and more like the Abrahamic God, i.e. not suspectible to most desires.

Tough crap; he was a man, with man-like desires, for 40 thousand years before he was a god. That's why he's got all those unknown kids running around, kinda like a professional athlete.

Hmm, I hadn't thought about this before. After weighing the responses, the most convincing one to me so far is that he was gay. I mean, he spent a huge amount of time cultivating close personal relationships with strong men.

Also, look at the primarchs. If he wanted to preserve his breeding (ugh, I've been reading too much Dune lately), he could have carefully selected women to bring certain genetic patterns to make a new race of humans even more ultimate with himself.

Instead, he jerks off in a cup...

He is definitely not a virgin since he had F***ed Chaos Gods

Although in fairness, that is I believe from the perspective of that traitor Human who loves trailing after the Harlequins. He's not necessarily being told the correct information.

Ailaros wrote:I mean, he spent a huge amount of time cultivating close personal relationships with strong men.

So like any father of multiple sons then? Like any soldier? Let's face it, the fact that he creating and training superhuman warriors is hardly proof that he was homosexual. I mean, it's possible, but I really don't see any evidence for it, especially since we know next to nothing about his personal life.

The fact of the matter is that the God-Emperor is 49,000 years old and was born on earth in Central Anatolia 8000 years before Christ. He couldn't have spent all that time plotting. For sure he probably got married, fell in love, had children and had affairs. Hell, I think that the Big-E has the power to shape shift into whatever form Big-E wanted, even female. Maybe thats why the Emp is so cold and emotionless, its because he is OLD and has watched all the people he loved and society's and eras he loved pass away into the ashes of time while he remains alone.

I think you guys and gals are jealous of the Emp seeing as if he has probably had all the women. He had African, American, Asian, European and Arab women in his bed over the centuries and if he can shapshift he also had lesbian sex. He is a true god, the God Emperor of Studs. Bow all you wretched Xenos(myself included) and Heretics, bow and beg for tips on how to get women. The Emp may take pity on you and give some advice.

maybe when he got too tensed up from running the universe and all he just made 2AM booty calls to slaanesh

The Emperor isn't emotionless. His major flaw was emotions, much like most humans, which led him to value some sons over others, and even rendering him almost incapable of killing his favoured son when his own life was on the line. Unless you mean after him being placed on the Golden Throne, in which case I think constant agony is a fair enough reason.

I think it's probably either:
he doesn't have time (you know with being awesome and stuff)
or he doesn't want to think about a divorce,what about the rights to his kids?
As in he'd be like okay you can have sanguinius and Rowboat the're a bit weird, but I want Russ and Dorn
