I assure you, the Golden Throne is a dreadnought. It's the last line of defense for the emperor.

How do I roll?

Though his soul remains in his body, and do not believe that the emperor has enough living tissue to pilot a dreadnought. Similar to those horror movies, where the house is haunted because the person's corpse is still there.


But there is still some living tissue. And he wasn't like that when he was first put on the golden throne, was he?

That makes sort-of sense. I wouldn't put it out of the question.

It'd be frankly ridiculous and supremely awesome if the the Golden Throne were in fact the cockpit of a Titan the size of the continent. Think of all those 20+ page threads 'Which race could conquer Terra" that pop up from time to time. Oh look the Necrons all woke up, destroyed Battlefleet Solar and are besieging Mars . . . and in the corner of the screen one third of planet Earth detaches from the planetary mantle and transforms into a flying golden Titan. OHHHH SHIIIII---!

I'd hate it if it happened in actual fluff but if someone wrote a good comicfic I'd read it :p

If the emperor was in a dread then ""EVEN IN DEATH I STILL RULE" would most likely be the name of one of his rules or something.

When terra gets overruun by tyranids (like it will be) then it will blow up like the explosion of a star or somthing like that.
and that makes sense cause if the space marines lose that then humanity is basically dead, and who wants the killers of humanity to surive besides chaos.

this takes place after his super cool planatary scale titan is blown to smitherines by the bunch of superawsome bugs that they are.
GO TYRANIDS!!!!

I prefer to think of it not a as dreadnought, rather a dread-titan of monolithic proportions with the golden throne as the MIU that allows the Emperor to control it. Thus if Terra where ever invaded again, the entire continental body that was once Europe would rise up and smite the heavens. something like that.

All true Living Saints are blessed with the power of the Emperor, acting as his direct agent in their area. Not all Living Saints are actually the real thing though, some of them are just spectacular people.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

or maybe the emperor would not need a titan/dread. he is a vastly powerful psionic presence who has had over 10,000 years experience splitting his conciousness across vast reaches of space and fighting the four greatest evils in the universe on their home plain. maybe.........but i would love it if the throne was the cockpit of a mega super insane titan dread hybrid with guns that fired planets using his psionic power......huzzah for th' emperah!!!!!

thought for the day:hate is our sheild, faith is our weapon.Suffer not the heretic to live, cleanse the impure.ALL HAIL THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!

But the analogy is wrong, sure if the Emperor preaches peace around the Galaxy, he won't be in combat
He preaches "DEATH TO XENO" he is while being a religious figure is also a battlefield commander
