I read some theory that GW might want to go back to a style similar to Horus Heresy, where it's mostly (now) Primaris, loyal and traitor, focussed with a few xenos races sprinkled in between, cause their trend of ignoring races and pushing more and more primaris units, might go even further.

Can't remember the details and of course it was still a fan theory, but I think it was more or less Guilleman splitting off cause of his Primaris love and instead of chaos vs imperium, it would be more like religious imperium vs imperial truth and the emperor could either resurrect or stay 'imprisoned' as the religous guys holy idol, while the imperial truth guys want to free him.

GW confirmed he is a perpetual. So if he truly dies, then yes, he will ressurect. Same as Vulkan.
Which leads me to believe either,

A: the high lords of terra dont know he's a perpetual and think they're doing him a solid by keeping him "alive"
Or
B: more likely, they do know, but don't want him to ressurect because while he's on the throne they have more control, they were able to create the Ecclesiarchy and encourage the worship of him as a god, which as we know the Emperor disapproves of (poor Lorgar)

I created background for my Alpha Legion to say that they're basically on a suicide mission to "assassinate" the Emperor in order for him to ressurect and bring order back to the galaxy

There should really be a poll option for "no, he will stay in limbo on the Golden Throne".

No. He will choose to die rather than endure this torment.

If no one has mentioned it, 50K The Nightmare To Come, is some excellent fanfic.

Buttons Should Be Brass, Not Gold!






After having read the transcript of Dan Abnett's recent interview in ArsTechnica, seems like the Emperor is stuck with being in the state he is currently, and if this would ever be to change, the 40K universe would cease to literally exist.

The Golden Throne is also apparently much more important than most of the lore implies..

No, the emperor will not resurrect. Not in the lore & definitely not play wise.
It'll continue to be a talked plot point though.
