I imagine it's kinda like that.

This is probably the best explanation so far... It wouldn't really have any effect at all if he did omnomnom a corrupted psyker. Although he would be unlikely to ever get the chance do do so, as all the psykers arrive on the Black Ships, and so it's pretty much a dead cert that there will be some kind of screening process as another poster said above.

In the old Realm of Chaos backstory, the Emperor is in essence the uncorrupted warp made manifest through the self-sacrifice of all the ancient shamans - a fusion of all their souls reincarnated. He is the antithesis of chaos in that he is un-corruptable.

I doubt a corrupted psycher will give him pause for thought.

That's a fanfiction wiki.

Please see here at the bottom for an explanation: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/User:Inquisitor_S.

Both wiki's are fan made and edited (though certain amounts of the wiki Nagashek posted are inaccessible for the public to edit.)
The wiki that Nagashek posted is the official and proper wiki, though it is usually updated alot slower than lexicanicum,.

The Wikia wiki is not an official wiki. It's fan made and incredibly poor, due to lack of sources and open acceptance of fan fiction.

:shrug: Fine. Lexacanum page. Same entry. Same info:

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Astronomican

Still supports my assertion.

the emperor is incorruptable so he ends up with mild heartburn or some nasty diarrhea

Its about 10,000 times better. They actually screen what gets posted and properly source things.

All the fan-made pages are clearly marked and seperated from the official fluff sources.


They do treat all FFG, GW, and BL writings as equals. People may disagree with that, but again their sourcing allows you to tell whats what.

40kwiki is mindless drivel.

It's better, but I wouldn't go that far. On more than one occasion, upon actually going to the cited source, I've found that the original text was mis- or re-interpreted.

Let's say the Emperor is like a giant fire and that psykers are like coal. The corrupted psyker would be like a chunk of coal with a lot of impurities. This one chunk of coal with impurities will proceed to do sweet feth all to the fire except perhaps make it smoke a bit more and burn slightly less efficiently. I doubt even the likes of Ahriman would bother the Emperor that much were they fed to the Emperor.

As for the Lexicanum, it's not that great but for those unwilling to actually buy the books or read through them on scribd there isn't much else save for going around and asking people.

"Going around and asking people" is fine, but when people start vehemently arguing a point where their only source of reference is an unreliable wiki, it becomes a problem.

He's not actually eating them, lol. I imagine it's not like eating an undercooked steak, or some chicken wings that have been sitting out for a few days.

Of course he's not eating them, Horus busted out all his teeth. He has them pureed into a milkshake and drinks them through a straw.
