1. For no particular reason, the shamans who made the Emporer decided to make him nine feet tall.

Thus, he always was always nine feet tall. Knowing he would not fit into human society when towering over three feet above most people, he used his space magic to conceal his height from everyone until the 20th millennium.

During the previous 30,000 years, he simply put up with not being able to fit into normal clothes, houses, cars and so on, and he had unsatisfyingly small portions when eating out, until McDonald’s was invented.

Because he could not buy the things he needed, he made special, very large things for himself, such as clothes, baths, bicycles and cars. He used his space magic to conceal the size of these things. Sometimes he had things custom made and used space magic to make the workers forget what they had done.

When forced to use a human sized object that he couldn’t get at super size, such as a train, he just put up with the inconvenience.

Thanks to his unnatural physiology, he was able to withstand the constant back strain caused by mixing with ordinary humans inside normal sized buildings.

Once he became Space Emporer, there was no need to conceal his enormous size, so he stopped using space magic and everyone saw him as his natural size.

2. He was normal human size and used his space magic to look bigger when he became Emporer.

3. He was normal human size, but used his space magic to physically grow larger when he became Emporer.

4. He was normal human size, and never looked larger, and the pictures showing him larger than that are artistic licence.



Even if he was 4 feet taller then everyone else he wouldnt need to get into cars / transports because he can presumably teleport at will, Clothes are such a minor issue he could make them himself or stretch out normal clothes to his size (his will can remake reality) and he was pretty much a nomad until he openly revealed himself as the emperor so he was probably out living in the wilderness / caves and then when he did reveal himself im sure he could get humanity to make accommodation more fitting his size and stature.
Allthough im not sure I follow what you mean when you say "when he became Emperor" ? care to elaborate ?.

The circumstances of life for some nine-foot tall guy hiding in a cave in Tibet, and the Space Emporer, are somewhat different.

As I understand it, the Emporer didn't spend 30,000 years hiding in a cave, he spent it moving among the people, collecting wisdom and knowledge, understanding the world and influencing people to do the right thing.

I don't see how that would have been done from a cave in Tibet, and I don't see how he would have gone around London or Tokyo, mixing and influencing, without having to travel on a tube train, or in a taxi, and without ever visiting people's houses and shops.

I don't understand the obsession of the idea that the Emporer has to be nine feet tall. Would he be less powerful if he were six feet tall? If his height is important, but makes no difference in daily life, why not make him 12 feet tall, or 20 feet?

Going by fluff and real life he would probably be very seriously injured. This would be if all shield etc failed and he was left with just his armour.

By rules I would imagine him to be T4, he is not a marine but is stronger than a boggo human. So again it should ID him but he should have EW.

Well, we know that the EMperor is powerful to screw with the fabric of reality if he so wanted to, so it's not out of the question that he can change his physical size at will. And since he was just a god-like psyker, born to human parents, he was probably a height that was enough to be impressive, but not so much so as to draw too much attention throughout history. But yeah, if you got rid of all the Emperor's psychic power and all his armor he's just a normal human. What makes him so powerful IS his psychic capabilities, which are on par with (if not greater than) the Gods of Chaos.

Though, as far as Primarch toughness goes, didn't Leman Russ get socked in the head by the Emperor with a power fist, and then wake up with just a headache?

Why do people keep talking about the emperor deflecting the missile? did they even read the thread!? lol.


the emperor is a superhuman on all levels but a missile to the face would kill him. to say it WOULDN'T is like saying when Horus stabed the emperor it was a force stronger then a rocket? (No need to mention his armor would stop a rocket I am talking abut sheer force/power) so I am guessing if Horus stabs at you 4 times its like getting hit by 4 rail guns? thats a bit much if you ask me lol.

You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood.

In After D'Shea the Emperor took down an alien gribly by gripping a grenade in his fist and punching it in the face. Unless you can go toe to toe with the Emperor on psychic terms, as Horus could when he was backed up by all 4 Chaos gods, the Emperor will stomp on you and your entire civilization without breaking a sweat. It's not just a matter of psychic shields and the like. The Emperor's entire existence is sustained by his awesome psychic will. A missile strike on his physical body would be shrugged off because the force of will sustaining him is infinitely greater. If the Emperor was stripped of his psychic awesomeness his body would probably wither to dust in an instant anyway - he is getting on in years after all.

Horus did a bit more than stab him. Horus wielded the psychic might of the Chaos gods. He could obliterate your soul and turn your bones to dust by looking at you.

Its a stretch rules to fluff but... assuming primarchs are only strength 4 a blow from a powerfist is the same strength as a hit from a hunter killer and there are several places that a primarch survives the encounter (Lion and the Wolf for example) and since the emperor is primarch^2 I'd garner he'd live.

Chuck Norris is currently killing chaos gods. We don't know their names because every time he kills one he wipes it from history so we never get to know about them. As far as the emperor is concerned he'd never hurt the emperor, they had tea time last week and are great pals.

I have it on good authority the Emperor would be able to commando roll to safety.

Though rumours percist that he may subsequently be vunrable for up to three seconds as he puts his shades back on, and fires off a witty one-liner.
