Hi All

Since coming back to 40K after a number of years, I have noticed the change in the plight of the Imperium from rather bad to brown trousers time!!!

With the fading power of the astonomican etc, would you say the emporer is on his last knockings? If so what will have and when? Or is the fading due to the increased tyranid presence affecting the warp?

It's touch and go...
The Golden Throne is failing but it doesn't specify how.
There are theories surrounding what happens after the Empror's death but suffice to say the Galaxy is going south and humanity is gonna be leading the party to end all parties...

Every race has its own gods, with the exception of the Tryanids and the Tau. The Emperor is the god of humainity, even if he dies in the material realm he will just move into the warp and keep on truckin. If not, he'll just return to the material realm, perhaps in a new form, and led humainity to another glorious feth up again, GO EMPEROR!!!

Well if you believe all of the old sensei/star child/illuminati fluff then the Emperor will be reborn when he is most needed. That stuff is very old though and is probably not the direction that they would take the plot in, if they take it anywhere at all.
