In the Grey Knights codex, it is stated that the Purifiers keep something of power imprisoned. Anyone have an interesting theory as to what it is?

All the Grey Knights who have fallen to Chaos.

Kekekekekekekekekekeke.

Edit: Though I have to ask, what are you referencing? Just the general statement in the Purifier entry that notes they keep safe secrets they don't even entrust to fellow Grey Knights?

The Emperor's golden cod piece.

Read the Chambers of Purity again.

"Only the Purifiers know the exact nature of their prisoner, and they do not speak of it, not even to the Grand Masters of the Chapter. yet when the rock of Titan shakes and the Purifiers seal the approaches to their chambers, the Chapter holds its collective breath until the tremors end and the obsidian doors are opened once again."

A Daemon, obviously, a silly powerful Daemon. I'm gonna go and suggest it's Malal in some form. That's where GW put him after the whole legal issue.

God, that would be fething cool. Having Malal trapped in their fortress?

Has to be the Daemonette sex slave.

Malal,, now thats an idea.

Or it could be something else. Maybe Horus wasn't completely oblitorated by the Emperor, but imprisoned on Titan and only the Purifiers can keep him chained.


More plot...

Cthulhu.

Weirdest theory to date is that it's the hive mind. IDK why.

They actually have the subjects of all common fan-theory conspiracies locked up in one room: the missing legions, the sensei, Alpharius, Slann, Malal, half-Eldar librarians, clones of Horus, space-Skaven, the Outsider, female space marines, etc. The purifiers in fact gain their great power by harnessing the collective energy wasted in the untold numbers of terrible forum threads these topics continue to generate.

Honestly...

I think it's Elvis. But that's just me...

Prolly just a daemon that has to be taken out back and beaten with a hose once and awhile...

Marcellus Wallace's soul.

No wait, that's what's in the briefcase...

Okay, yeah, probably the Malal thing.

Maybe it's Russ.

Abbadon took the corpse into the warp. He later destroyed it.

Squats and Zoats, they breeding a super race of short, centauroid beardies to finally defeat chaos : )
It's another teaser we will most likely never know the answer to.

No it's not just you.

Back door to the warp, and they're hoping that Draigo finds it to return to them for good. They do not speak of it because if the daemons that where about to be sent back into the warp where told by some arrogant GK about it, then Titan would be overrun.

A very powerful plot device.

I think a humorous explanation would be that the Purifiers lock the doors and then start banging on the walls and making scary noises. Then they reopen the doors and act all mystical and stuff.

It's a Dimmu show, man. They have Dimmu Borgir in a stasis field, see, and, every once in awhile, they turn it off to rock out and throw the horns around for awhile.

The rest of the Chapter are kinda religious, though, so they're not invited to the Satan-rock show... it's brutal, though, man, all kinds of metal.

The Terminus Decree!!! based on the name, I imagine it says: In case of demonic overinfestation of golden throne. Pull power cord. The emperoor doesn't wanna feel the pain.

Its ShadowFax

Aroo!

A Stompa.

A CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT...
Well they try to at least.

Of all the ideas, that makes the least sense. No offence.

But it's an EVIL POSSESSED STOMPA!!!! oooOOOoooo!

Fix't.

I stand corrected. That makes even less sense than a regular one.
