The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is....basically himself?

BTW, the Eldar and Orks were created by the Old Ones

The Old Ones were basically at war with the Necronus (i think thats what its called), who lost after the necronus sided with the C'Tan and became robots

Another funny thing:

Do you really want to know what the Omnissiah AKA god machine spirit is?

It is a Necron C'tan God entombed under the surface of Mars. Apparently it's what caused Mars to have all that high tech stuff.

Necrontyr, I believe. And if you're going with the tablet from Xenology the ancient ones created all the races. Except Tau. The Eldar made those.

And the Adeptus Mechanicus already had the technology. The Dragon was a gift from the Emperor, who had defeated the Dragon and taken his power in Lybia on Earth in ancient times.

What terrible sentance structure.

You guys know Tau tanks actually just have an ID code, not an actual name.
